adjl 08/10/23 10:45:32 PM #14:	KingDavid posted... I'm trying to go carnivore because I want my depression and bipolar to be cured Eliminating everything but meat from your diet won't do that. If anything, there's a solid chance it'll make them worse, because vitamin deficiencies tend to mess with energy levels. KingDavid posted... I want to go sugarfree. You can do that without limiting yourself to meat. The amount of sugar you get from fruits and vegetables is fine, particularly where their fibre content prevents them from spiking your blood sugar. It's overwhelmingly added sugar that you need to worry about eliminating, and unless you add sugar to the things you cook, food made from scratch has no added sugar. KingDavid posted... I don't want to waste up to 2 hours a day eating food that I could eat in less than 5 minutes, which is generally the time it takes to eat junk and fast food. You can generally do other things while eating if you're that worried about wasting time. Same with cooking, if you do something relatively passive. Even so, you should really reframe that way of thinking: Your time is not so valuable that spending an hour or two cooking and eating good food is a "waste." Make a point of enjoying the things you eat and taking pride in what you create. That's what sets it apart from junk/fast food in terms of the impact it has on your life, and moves you away from the mindset of seeking utilitarian instant gratification by relying on convenience food. Beyond that, though, you don't have to cook every day. Make large batches of recipes, then refrigerate or freeze leftovers as appropriate and reheat them as needed. You can easily get away with 1-2 hours a week of cooking that way, with each meal being a simple matter of taking a few minutes to reheat your food. Even if you're not a fan of leftovers, there are tons of dishes you can do that you can prepare ahead of time, store, then cook quickly and/or with little effort. Don't think of it strictly in terms of cooking a whole dish from scratch every meal. --- This is my signature.
