Note to mods: I see now that I probably should have posted this in "My Daily Menus & Journals". Feel free to move this thread to that area.
Today is 2023-01-21-Saturday.
1 week has passed since my first post. Over the last 7 days I consumed ~30-pounds of russet potato, and ~3 cups of rice.
Contrary to my original plan, I drank ~16oz of soymilk last Sunday, and used some condiments/spices I didn't originally plan on.
Interestingly, the day after my original post, someone updated the post about Bragg's Liquid Aminos. In light of that post I've discontinued my consumption of that material.
The biggest change I've noticed is my breathing. My breathing is more steady, slightly deeper, and feels more 'automatic'. For the past few years I've noticed myself 'forgetting' to breath -- especially at night. I'd find that as I was beginning to fall asleep, I'd 'wake-up' gasping for air. I find my improvement in breathing especially interesting because I vape nicotine.
Additional positive changes: better sleep, better poop, calmer. Being calmer I also find especially interesting because of my current life-circumstances. I'm a bad conversation away from being homeless. Presently unemployed. Etc.
My face still looks like red-trash, but it's far less oily. So that's nice.
Today I acquired 35-pounds of potato, 5-pounds-per-day. I've seen different numbers attributed to calories-per-gram of potato, ranging from 1-calorie:1-gram from McDougall, to about 0.75-calorie:1-gram from the potato packaging, etc. At the lower-end I should be getting at least 1,500-calories:day, which is still 300-calories short of my 1800-calorie:day goal.
I also got 2.5-pounds of frozen cherries. These will be gone in ~2-days.
I think I've settled on apple-cider-vinegar, ketchup, and cayenne-pepper as my seasoning. I boil the potato.
Thank-you to both Taggart and VegSeekingFit for your comments. Based on Taggart's video-links I decided to cut all overt fat (bye-bye soymilk).
I think that's it. Cheers.
