Aytundra's Diary (not Wai diet)

[dime]

Your diet is so varied, I don't even know what are half of the things in your diary :)
Mine is probably the most boring ever, goes something like:
July X
- beef+eggs
- OJ
- olive oil mayonnaise
July X+1
- fish+eggs
- OJ
- beef
- olive oil mayonnaise
July X+2
- beef+eggs
- OJ
- olive oil mayonnaise
...

[Aytundra]

When I am sampling foods, it becomes varied.
But when I was a kid I grew up on
Day X
- 1 bowl of oatmeal (>4yrs, super boring and bland) or boxed cereal + 1 egg (scrambled or hardboiled) + 1 glass of milk/water

- water / 1 juice box

- 2 slices of bread (plain white)(I use to eat the crust, crust removed for maybe 2 years only) (I only did whole grain at 13-18yr, because I got influenced by popular thoughts of the goodness of "whole grain") + 2tbsp of strawberry jam or 2tbsp of cremecheese + water/1 juice box
- 1 orange (90% of the time, I got so tired of it, I use to throw it in the trash, did not like acidity) /1 tomato (1 year only) /1 banana raw (8% of the time)

- 1 juice box (25% rarer frequency)/water (70% of the time usually) / soya (13-18yr) (I got tired of it and hated the taste of soya, it was funny I use to like it because of the commercials)

- snacks, cookies, milk, cheese, icecream, water
- chicken/pork
- veggies
- rice
boring, bland, consistent like 2/3 of the year, every year

[Aytundra]

As you guys can probably tell, my childhood diet is probably super scary to you guys, since everything contradicts the theories of this diet.
And did I mention everything is cooked?
except for the orange which I throw out.
except for icecream and cheese.
Icecream, I can finish 1 container every 2-3days during my height gaining years.
Even water is boiled, nothing is raw!

[Aytundra]

So things I am doing now to the diet is so strange and bizarre to me.
In comparison to what I was raised on and what I do now,
the things I do now are so much different behaviourally speaking it is like living on another planet.

I do make an effort.
250ml2tbspsugarwater - is made from granulated sugar and (not boiled) filtered water

History of Beverages, and ranking scheme of what my parents did:
milk replaced water (water and soya had equal status)
water replaced juice (soya replaced juice, if soya was available healthier option they believed.)
juice replaced pop/soda
pop/soda replaced tea
tea replaced coffee
I had only ~5 cups of coffee in my lifetime, and +1 from grandma (the miniature cups added together).
(So waicoffee is a new habit!)

250ml2tbspsugarwater
1 slice of apple pie
1 banana

1 leaf wrapped ball of 1 cup of glutinous rice***
1 sliced orange

1 yolk
1 piece of pork on bone
6 pieces of shrimp stirfried in avocado oil
1 clump of watercress
1 bowl of rice

***Glutinous rice, finally I can eat something with glutin... in it! What a relief to have read the Italians eat a lot of wheat forum. I have reached the conclusion that I can eat glutin... rice. I doubt there are any gliadins in this glutinous rice that can make it through my intestinal membranes. Feels confident that she can eat this glutinous rice, and I think the colours are fine in this word, no overarching blue colours.
Comments anyone? Do you think I made the right choice?

[RRM]

Comments anyone? Do you think I made the right choice?

Of course not!!
The Wai diet is the right choice...

[fred]

Glutinous rice is indeed the easiest stach to digest because it contains almost no amylose and mainly amylopectin (the less resistance to digestion). But that does not make glutinous rice a healthy choice, first because it is a grain (which contains antinutrients) , and second because it must be cooked, which generate many harmful substances (acrylamide, HCA, AGEPs, etc.).

[Aytundra]

Glutinous rice, finally I can eat something with glutin...

"That was to test your eyesight RRM, gluten vs. glutin..." -fun aytundra (aww shucks, I expected you to say something funny with gliadin, you did not fall for my trap!)

Comments anyone? Do you think I made the right choice?

Of course not!!

The Wai diet is the right choice...

"hmm...we will see..." - rebellious aytundra
"Agrees that The Wai diet is the right choice..." (but not for avoiding gluten specifically! That is only a very minor part of the diet.)
Although, glutinous rice does not contain any gluten, it does contain antinutrients, and it is cooked, as fred said.
- raw aytundra

But that does not make glutinous rice a healthy choice, first because it is a grain (which contains antinutrients) , and second because it must be cooked, which generate many harmful substances (acrylamide, HCA, AGEPs, etc.).

Other opinions:
"It contains a blue letter, not permissible! antinutrients"- synaesthesia aytundra
"It is cooked, so no it is not permissible!" - raw aytundra
"It was given to you, so yes it is permissible." - social aytundra
"It tastes sticky and slimey, does not like the taste, yuck." - taste aytundra

July 10, 2014

1 slice of apple pie (Reports: snowwhite did not turn into a zombie. | zombiesnowwhite, is as much an oxymoron as pieapple!)***
1 glass of water

12 pieces of chicken wings
1 bite of egg and tomato omelette
2 pieces of shrimp leftovers
1 bowl of rice

250ml2tbspsugarwater
250ml of water with remaining sugar
***Eats a slice from 2.0 witch, if it was cheesecake that was offered, than Aurora aytundra would be doomed.
A curse by rebellious aytundra means that she will go cold turkey on that item.
Currently there is only one curse. Aurora's curse.
Currently under development is Mendel's curse.
- comments by literary aytundra, she explains the story line. All other aytundras went on vacation from commenting.
--- Enjoy!

1 banana

50mlwater

250ml2tbspsugarwater

1 lobster, with 1tbsp of butter and minced garlic
1 tbsp of spicy beef slices with parsley and bamboo.
3 spoonfuls of melon with dried scallops and mushrooms, cooked.
3 leaves of leafy lettuce like cabbage cooked.
1 bowl of rice
250ml2tbspsugarwater
250mlwater

1 slice of strawberry cheesecake (Someone made it. Cannot refuse, it's impolite.)***
+ refused a cone of icecream (That was easy, it is store made, it is also after a large volume of food, so others understand that it is perfectly okay to refuse.)

***How do I say this?
I had a slice of strawberry cheesecake.
Should I be upset with myself? or just accept lenient social aytundra.
How far should the forbidden forest stretch? How do you design a forbidden forest without being a hobbit?
Aurora's method is obsolete.

[RRM]

I had a slice of strawberry cheesecake.
Should I be upset with myself?

Huh?
Being upset with yourself is not productive, i think.
And why be upset about cheesecake?
You eat so much cooked foods that a slice of cheesecake does not make any difference.

How far should the forbidden forest stretch?

The more raw, the better.
Its a matter of choices.
Once you have made up your mind, its a matter of willpower.
If you want, you can live on OJ, raw egg yolks and raw fish only.
Just make up your mind and stick to it.

[Aytundra]

I had a slice of strawberry cheesecake.
Should I be upset with myself?

Huh?

There is a difference.

You eat so much cooked foods that a slice of cheesecake does not make any difference.

Because I made such an easy goal and I missed it.
It is like shooting in an empty net, without a goal keeper and I still missed it.

You eat so much cooked foods that a slice of cheesecake does not make any difference.

Agrees, I eat so much cooked foods, that:
Molecularly, it does not make any difference.
But for goal setting it does make a difference. (Eventually all those cooked foods will go on the chopping block/ eliminated. I hope - raw aytundra)

Being upset with yourself is not productive, i think.

Agrees, there is no point in being upset. (It is a theoretical upset. My tastebuds were quite happy with sugary cheese cake.)
But, I must say it is such a disappointment to me.
I had agreed not to touch cheese ever again, a few days ago.
And to break that rule so fast...
See, I did not promise to not eat cooked meat or anything like replacing chicken with raw fish/yolk as Oscar suggested to go turkey. (Which I know would be a tougher task.)
I seldom make promises that I can't keep. (lol, Except for crying wolf on not logging in here, but those wolves are not promises those are just random comments.)

I just decided to do an elimination of 1 food item. "Cheese."
I thought to myself, that should be simple enough, I seldom touch cheese now.
It was a big part of my diet in the past.
It should be very easy to do.
Wrong I was.

The social setting is complex
It was theoretically interesting to see if I could escape a slice of cheese cake.
If an adult prepared that cheese cake, I could simply explain I am lactose intolerant and what not... or whatever I can think of to escape a slice of cheese. But if you are talking to someone who knows no science, you can't justify yourself to them.
It was an interesting predicament and scenario that I was in. This vignette illustrates peer pressure or a numbers thing. If everyone at the table ate a slice of cheesecake, and you are the only odd one not eating and they know I have no allergies to cheese or lactose at all, it is quite impossible to escape group pressure.

Everyone sat at the table.
Strawberry cheesecake as the centerpiece.
Divided in generous equal portions of large slices.
Everyone gets a fork, a plate and a slice.
Everyone starts eating.
You have a slice.
What do you do?

Of course if I refused the cheese cake.
We would have a scenario of question marks?????

Others will not comprehend:
Why will you not eat a slice of cheese cake?
Why would you refuse a dessert from a child?

How far should the forbidden forest stretch?

The more raw, the better.
Its a matter of choices.
Once you have made up your mind, its a matter of willpower.
If you want, you can live on OJ, raw egg yolks and raw fish only.
Just make up your mind and stick to it.

The hobbit, without being a hobbit, without being something different.
It is simple to create a forbidden forest on an island of your own.
But to create one in the middle of a city is like asking skyscrapers to grow leaves.

[dime]

It's tough life for social aytundra, no question. Patience, I'm sure she'll get there in sync with raw aytundra.

[RRM]

Of course if I refused the cheese cake.
We would have a scenario of question marks?????

So, that would be tyhe proper occasion to explain to them that you had decided not to touch cheese any more.
They would have asked why, and you could explain.
Then they would accept your stance.
Done.

Why would you refuse a dessert from a child?

Children readily accept a good explanation if you are serious about it.
You could figure out a reason for and explain to them that you want to stare at the moon for one hour every night,
and they will accept it if you are serious about it.

It is simple to create a forbidden forest on an island of your own.
But to create one in the middle of a city is like asking skyscrapers to grow leaves.

The city is filled with forbidden forests.
So many forests. So many different rules and habbits.
If you stand your ground, everyone will accept.
As they accept all the peculiarities of so many weird people in the city.
