Smart food picking when in 'trouble' - and the latest TFM podcast

Hello, this latest episode started a bit weak but came on very strong for me towards the middle. Very strong resonance with my ‘journey’ (for lack of better word): I tend to slide little by little, towards slightly more carbs and slightly bigger portions. And picking certain foods (and activities), is how I sort of ‘reset’ that, and only that really works for getting me back on track. (Willpower not my thing I guess.) They said some great things about that in this episode!

So yeah, really surprised that the episode turned out so hard-hitting after the ‘mushy’ (imo) beginning. I must say their episodes have been slightly less inspired since summer so this makes me happy. To anyone new to their podcast, I say go for episode 1-20. That is where the goldmine is mostly at.

Side story - I tried something totally new today: home made chili paste. As a ‘civilized European’ I was shocked to read some of the things Americans will put in their BBQ/chili sauce - e.g. things like coffee and chocolate. So since I already eat a tomato sauce currently, I decided to spice it up (literally) and make it more of a thin layer spicy spread (slightly fewer carbs is always good for me.) The result was super nice and interesting, compared to the simple tomato sauce I have been having with meats since summer.

Thanks for reading 🙏🏻 - and sorry if this was not entirely informative or coherent. I guess my main message is: check that podcast out, if you have not already. (The Fasting Method)
