Aytundra's Diary (not Wai diet)

[Aytundra]

As this thread relates to aytundra's diary, I have made a restructured copy here, to keep my thoughts organized on what I am doing on my diet.
From another thread: viewtopic.php?f=13&t=1474&start=15

What about cotton candy?

Its basically sugar plus some food colouring.

what about basically sugar plus heat without some food colouring?
plain pure granulated sugar (glucose fructose) + heat
but not to the point of caramalization 320° F

Thats basically sugar.

What about invert sugar?
granulated sugar (glucose-fructose) + water + heat
Is it better to eat invert sugar?, because it saves invertase work? (invertase breaks glucose and fructose apart in sugar)

No. Particularly sucrose is well absorbed because the fructose is linked to glucose.

Thanks,
Will eat sucrose. Glucose linked with fructose, and not separately.
Guess I will have to stir sugar granules. or melt them in ice water. (lol, ambient water will work, I think)

Safe or not safe that is the question? - by Hamlet Aytundra

Its safer than 95% of your diet.
Why would you even consider being worried if HCAs, oxysterols, acrylamide and the likes are no reason for you to radically change your diet?

I am planning to spike my OJ with sugar.
I have to establish the limits on what I can do with sugar, before I spike the diet.
Sugar spiking will probably be a radical step. As I seldom eat large volumes of granulated sugar out of a jar.
Melting sugar in water to add to OJ might be faster than stirring grains of sugar.
and cotton candy to replace crave foods (lol, that is never going to happen, cotton candy is so expensive, I can buy a bag of sugar instead.)

But heated sugar does not form HCAs, oxysterols, acrylamide.
RRM will win a nobel prize if he can get HCAs and acrylamide from just pure heated sugar, he would have to demonstrate how a nitrogen atom was made out of thin air.

Did i say that it does?

Sorry, I overextended that idea. I still think you are awesome, and might get a nobel prize for something.

So I did a mini experiment half an hour ago.
I drank 250ml of water at room temperature, laced with 1 tablespoon of sugar.
It was a familiar taste. It tasted like coffee or milktea, stuff that my grandma gave me when I was 3 years old. (It was a 1 inch cubed cup I doubt it killed brain cells, but she told me not to tell my parents. Haha I couldn't keep a secret back then.)
So that is what makes coffee and tea taste good, sugar + water. I used to tell my granny to add more sugar.
The difference is that this wai version of these beverages tastes better.
Sans bitter taste of coffee or tea, and sans hot tongue burning water.

It does have an after taste,
it is not a noticeable after taste at first,
but then the acidic taste develops gradually,
a mild acidic after taste,
after taste is still tasteable at after 1/2 an hour.

LOL aytundra, sorry, but you can't expect me to NOT respond to that
So if you hate al that stuff, then what exactly are you doing here
Just kidding I think for you it's just a trial and error thing. Find out what (combinations) does (do) taste good to you. So experiment, use your imagination! I'm not being very helpful perhaps, but it's the best answer I can give you for now, I guess

LOL aytundra, sorry, but you can't expect me to NOT respond to that

Rebellious Aytundra tells Iris: "You give her too many creative ideas to go Wai, Go away!"
Raw Aytundra tells Iris: "You are always welcome here. More ideas the better. Pick the right side."

So if you hate al that stuff, then what exactly are you doing here

Trying to turn into a raccoon or a squirrel.

then what exactly are you doing here

Not that question again? (It's okay keep asking. I like this question.)

it's just a trial and error thing. Find out what (combinations) does (do) taste good to you. So experiment, use your imagination!

Good guess you are partially right.

People I've answered this question for:
Told Dime: just being honest, writing everthing down I ate.
Told RRM: Turning from 95% cooked foods to 100% Wai, sometime and somehow. (probably at escargot pace)
Told Nina: It is hard motivation wise to deal with that social bubble.

People that have gotten close to this question:
Kasper caught aytundra's response:"I think I will stick with the foods I grew up with, and gradually replace each item with raw fruits, and slow cooked foods. (Right now it is a start of an acclimatization and habituation method over a cold turkey method."
Oscar stumbles upon aytundra's response: "I have not even stabilized to a consistent yolk or OJ intake, to consider replacing a meal. Substitution of the giant meal is equivalent to going cold turkey. "

1 apple sans peel
1 banana

250ml water + 2 tablespoon granulated sugar**

1 bowl of spaghetti, with tomato sauce and 2 tablespoon of corn, peas and carrot, with egg whites stirred in.

10 cherries
250ml water + 2 tablespoon granulated sugar**

1 yolk***
5 spoons of steamed eggs (2y3w)
5 bites each of fuzzy melon with mushroom, cooked
5-7 slices of carrots in seaweed soup
1 bowl of rice
10 cherries

**same experiment 1 tablespoon more than yesterday, and 2 jars instead of 1.
2tbsp is more sugary, I think 1.5tbsp/250ml might be better.
Still has an acidic after taste. So I think I have partially distilled the aftertaste of juice.
I don't know why I am being so careful with this.
But regular containerized beverages probably spike more sugar in their drinks than what I do.
***works better at night, will move it back after dinner.

1 banana
20 cherries
1 donut
1 cup water

1 loaf of bread

1 omelette of shrimps and eggs
15-20 pieces of white turnips and mushroom boiled
1 bowl of rice

1banana
15 cherries

15 cherries
Looks like I am more tolerant to sugary foods, 3 bananas, I usually max at 1 or 2/day.

Presses pause on the sugar water experiment.
Felt a toothache yesterday in the late afternoon. It is hard to tell what caused it, since I have so many sugary items, but I have a good scapegoat, also I have not been brushing my teeth as thoroughly as I usually do. It is also on the weaker side where I once had cavities filled. Chewing bread does not work, btw. Rather the toothache occurred after I ate white bread. It could be bread crumbs and debris causing acidic pockets of space around teeth. Where bread initially does not look like to be teeth unfriendly, becomes quickly teeth unfriendly because the starchy material of bread held by a gauzy gluten bread fibrous layer, starts to decompose gradually in the mouth such that the mouth becomes acidic. With the gauzy layer of gluten and bread fibers, it keeps the broken down starch’s acidic environment enclosed in one spot and irremovable by the tongue if it is in a hard to reach area, such that the only option is proper brushing of teeth or rinsing with water.
- pondering aytundra's opinion on the cause of her toothache.

1 banana
1 cup of water

1 spaghetti, shrimps and in soysauce

1 bowl of rice
Nothing's missing. 4 items only. Does not want to talk about it.

[Aytundra]

Keeping my thoughts together, re-posts a quote from elsewhere.
From another thread: viewtopic.php?f=16&t=3527&start=165

I see that you're on the fringe of all this Raw food stuff, yes?

Yes, at the fringe.
In theory, I understand a lot of it. In practice however, there are no guidelines on how to deal socially. It is really the social bubble now.

[Aytundra]

(+ one more item to yesterday. It was actually 5 items. added a banana before spaghetti.)
June 26, 2014
Woke up at 4:20am hungry.

250ml water + 2 tablespoon granulated sugar**

1 banana

2/3 of apple peeled.
1 bowl of oatmeal with yams (by someone else)

250ml water + 2 tablespoon granulated sugar**

Borsch soup and bread, pork and noodles, beef and noodles, pork and rice, and chicken with rice (social aytundra)

**Toothache was gone yesterday, so resumes sugar experiments.

Outline of where this will probably go.
To establish a sugar volume threshold.
Then will take that sugar limit, and add it to OJ volume threshold.
Then will add chewable, fruit volume threshold.
Then will add yolk limit. (Fish limit maybe once a week, I have not found the fish I like yet.)
These will form a base amount to take up a portion of the day. (or week in the case of fish).
The remaining portion of the day would be variable, until we can figure out what to do with social, crave and passive aytundra.

Talks about it.
It is easy to maintain a passive self.
You just accept what comes and goes.
But if you start establishing your own rules
And you refuse to break your rules, including breaking your own rules in a bubble outside yours,
because you care, and would not want to break your own morals and ethics, especially on others.
Then that causes problems.
I refused to add sugar to protein under heat treatment. There the clash of bubbles.

1 orange****
250ml2tbspsugarwater

250ml2tbspsugarwater

1 bowl of spaghetti with tomato sauce, ½ tomato, 1 egg white stirred in.

250ml2tbspsugarwater

1 chaos = 1mouthful of pork melon soup, 1 slice of beef, 1 piece of sweet and sour pork, 1 piece of pineapple, 1 slice of crisp chicken, 1 piece of doughy fried shrimp ball discarded half the fried stuff, 2 large mouthfuls of fried rice, 1 piece of shrimp, 2 pieces of broccoli, 1 piece of stuffed tofu, 1 little bite of cooked fish, 1 mouthful of noodle, 1 piece of cooked oyster (blah, it was bland and overcooked), 1 piece of mushroom, 1 piece of veggie, 1 slice of orange, 1 mouthful of taro sugary dessert with tapioca.( –by social aytundra)

****This morning:

Woke up to my brain singing/more like playing music. I like that. It seldom spontaneously sings. It used to make music a lot spontaneously on waking when I used practice my instrument. It is always nice to wake up to a singing brain.
Wakes at 7am today.

7:30am eats 1 medium sized orange without thick membranes around each slice of orange, leaves only the thin membrane surrounding each cell of orange juice. Tastes really good, it feels like the texture of fine thin strawberry membranes sliding and gushing with quenching flavours of orange juice. Not acidic, does not know why garlicpresserpressedorangejuice should be appealing anymore, when you can have such an awesome gushing texture to eat.

At 7:15am
She finishes the orange, and wants more oranges.
Savours the taste of oranges, and compares oranges to sugar water.
(lol oranges vs. sugar water. Usually the saying is ‘comparing apples to oranges.’)

Looks at 250ml2tbspsugarwater and thinks of it as waicoffee,
Looks at sugar water in disgust and Mind calls it: “fake fruit, artificial fruit.”
Mind asks: “Why should I drink waicoffee, if thickmembranepeeledoranges are better?”

Having nothing left in the fridge, and a waicoffee within 10cm’s reach, aytundra sips waicoffee.
She sips 1/2 a jar within 15 minutes, and then the sipping rate decreases.

The water is also not blended evenly; 2tbsp sugar does not dissolve automatically.
Such that the water is a gradient of sweetness, swirls from a lightly sugary top to a very sugary bottom.
Sipping stalls after 2/3rds of the jar was consumed.


Changes strategy:
I am thinking or acclimatizing to a limit of oranges or of other fruit first, then using sugar water to fill up on energy and satiation levels. I think this might be better than mixing OJ with sugar or fruit juice with sugar. As you get a better control of how much sugar your body actually wants to top off with.

(Analogy would be how one friend places it as: Icecream for him is always reserved for the end of an all-you-can-eat buffet, such that icecream can fill up the cracks between all the foods, hence maximizing the volume of food for the price you paid.)

The only confounding variable would be water. Would the body stop at too much water? If so then adding sugar to juice would actually be more optimal than consuming juice and then adding sugar water. Water if so, will be regarded as“filler” much like “fiber”.


----------------------------------------
Talks about sleep & mornings
I typically sleep around 12, and wake up at 7 or 8 am, on acclimatizeWai. [These past 2 months.]
On yolk nights, I wake up early, never late, sleep satisfaction is usually good, you just get a feeling of sleeping soundly, you wake up refreshed and ready to go.
But so far there are no strange things as waking up to a singing brain, or waking up in the middle of a dream.
I find it nice to wake up to knowing what my brain was dreaming or thinking about subconsciously.
(Haha, there is a confounding variable. There's always a lurking variable somewhere. The confounding variable would probably be the eagerness to post something/to read posts, hence waking up earlier.)

4:20am was the earliest time logged. (But that was probably due to hunger levels.)
Prior to acclimatizeWai I can easily sleep until 9 or 10am, skin used to feel, in general lethargic, weighty, you just don't want to move, and want more sleep.

1 big chaos = 1 soup du jour, 15cm crab leg, 1 eraser sized tofu piece, 15cm crab leg with 2 drops of lemon juice, garlic sugar stir fried lobster piece, garlic sugar stir fried lobster piece, fried yolk covered crab, scrambled eggs heavy on cooked yolk taste with crab bits (so sandy fried and boiled yolk velvet, I suppose to a cooked foods person that would taste good, but these chefs don’t know yolks.), 1 forkful of pea leaves, 1 stirfried rice, 1 piece of veggie, lobster claw, 1 bowl of sesame sugary dessert, 1 fried 1inch ball of rice with, sesame paste, ¾ bowl of sesame sugary dessert.( –by social aytundra)

-raw aytundra in frustration at social aytundra, is taunted by Newton "For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction."
-raw aytundra wants to declare social aytundra as her archenemy but just can't say it.

***One orange, peeled thick membranes, leaving only cells of orange juice. Took 38min from start to clean-up. This is more time consuming than garlicpresserpressedOJ which averages about 19min, timefriendlyaytundra is not impressed.

Thickmembranepeeledoranges, strangely has the taste of donuts, for a splitsecond this morning my mind thought of donuts while eating oranges, the orange tasted like donuts, ontop of tasting like strawberrytexture and orangejelloflavour; I checked the empty donut box, and found the ingredients were spiked with thiamin and some other B vitamins, so I was not surprised. Can't they just make plain donuts, plain, like water sugar and flour plus heat? No, the food industry likes to cook B vitamins, it makes it more flavourful and dangerous for the average consumers.

Sounds like you're slowly paving the wai way :) Keep the spirit up!

1 bowl of oatmeal with yellow yams

250ml2tbspsugarH2O

1 bowl of spaghetti, with eggwhites in tomato sauce, lobster pieces, lobster pieces (leftovers.)***

1 gulp of H2O****

8 pieces of sushi, cucumber rolls with rice (no fish)

1 banana

3 pieces of sushi, eel (cooked), avocado, fried crisps, cucumber, sesame, 3cm diameter x 2cm height sushi size
1 sunshine egg, egg whites cooked, but yolk was half cooked (it rolled off the egg white to the heat).*****
4-5 pieces of fuzzy melon, cooked with 3 pieces of dehydrated petite shrimplettes.
1 bite of cooked pork chops
1 bowl of rice


*** This is funny. I just went back to reading WaiSays, I’ve not read that page for 2.5 years, the page on serotonin, and it said not to consume “pasta with lobster”, well I just ate them yesterday, and no adverse effects there, I slept at 12 and woke at 8. I am quite happy today, and as I type this I just had 3 bananas so far, so confounding variables as I type this, happy aytundra is typing. But hey, pasta and lobster was fine; confounding variable = fruits I ate today.

**** I’ve spoiled my tastebuds with sugarwater the past few days, such that when I took 1 gulp of distilled water, I was like yuck it did not taste good, it did not even taste like the typical clear water taste of reverse-osmosis water. “Where’s the sugar?” my mind asked.

*****Sunshine eggs, sunshine eggs, how do I cook you? I still have to find a socially acceptable way, of ingesting something that looks cooked but that is actually not.

******* Because I am all smiley today: There's more to the colour puzzle. (It gets harder, lol) - "have fun!" - by fun aytundra & synaesthesia aytundra.

[dime]

Your posts are hillarious, a little wai comedy :D I'm honest btw, not being sarcastic or smth, the way you write and think is fun and quite entertaining!

[RRM]

Yes, i agree.
