YOUR BEGINNER GUIDE TO CYCLE SYNCING — DIVINE FEMININE

based on a health link article

Cycle syncing is when we match our menstrual cycle to our health lifestyle, such as nutrition and exercise. By using your menstrual cycle as a guide of your health throughout, you become in tune of your hormonal needs

Our menstrual cycle has 3 distinct phases excluding your period, which occur over a month.

Follicular(menstruation happens in this phase). Lasts for 6-14 days. Estrogen and progesterone are increasing.

Ovulatory. Lasts for 15-17 days. Estrogen is at its peak, testosterone and progesterone are increasing.

Luteal. Lasts for 18-28 days. Estrogen and progesterone are high, but if the egg stays unfertilised, the hormones decrease and the cycle repeats.

EXERCISE

Menstrual/Follicular

Your hormones are at its lowest, so light exercise and cardio is better suited for your stamina here. Yoga, walking, stretching, jogging

Ovulation

Hormones are increasing, so high intensity exercises are suited for this phase as your energy is higher. gym, cycling, skip rope, running, HIIT

Luteal

As your body prepares itself for another cycle, energy may be low, so light or moderate exercise is best. Pilates, ab exercises, any strength training

NUTRITION

Menstrual/follicular

Your Estrogen will begin to increase in this stage. Drink warm beverages to help with cramps. Despite your cravings, limit fatty/oily foods, caffeine and watch your sodium intake. Eat foods that help with metabolising your estrogen.

broccoli, sauerkraut, cabbage, high quality meats, cauliflower, spinach, sesame seeds, flaxseeds

Ovulation

Your estrogen is the highest so opt for foods that support your liver, protect you from environmental toxins(as they can impact your hormones) and are anti-inflammatory.

Leafy greens, whole grains, eggs, legumes, high quality meat & fish, garlic, almonds, whole fruits

Luteal

Estrogen and progesterone are high, but will begin to decrease. Magnesium rich foods to help fight fatigue, and foods that help with serotonin are best.

Leafy greens, quinoa, buckwheat, dark chocolate, spinach, pumpkin seeds, sweet potatoes, beans, avocado

This is the phase when your cycle is beginning to repeat, so you want to ensure that your diet is optimal. Avoid caffeinated drinks, sugar, deep fried foods and high amounts of dairy.

To start implementing these changes to your lifestyle, track your cycle and begin to identify how long each phase lasts for. Pay attention to how your body responds to each phase.

with that, I wish you luck 💖🎀 i hope we all stay healthy and happy together 👏

when Zoro tells Sanji he hates chocolate / desserts, Sanji takes that as a challenge to find recipes that would appeal to him

Once a week, Sanji makes an experimental, new dessert for everyone to try but it’s really part of mission “make Marimo want dessert”

Sanji has a little green notebook he keeps in the drawer with extra matches, bottle openers, etc, tucked in the back of the drawer and filled with ideas and notes after he tries it

———————————————

Frozen Tangerine Yogurt pie

serves eight

Ingredients

4 ripe tangerines, peeled and chopped try for the ones that are sour, flavor preferred by the sour swordsman

3 tablespoons sugar, divided

1 cup heavy cream

3/4 cup plain yogurt maybe try Greek yogurt to cut the sweetness even more?

graham cracker or shortbread pie crust graham cracker too sweet for that idiot

Note: partial success. Caught feeding crust to Luffy

———————————————

Chocolate Mousse with Olive Oil and Sea Salt

Makes about 10 small portions or 4 larger portions

Ingredients

2 eggs, thoroughly beaten

3/4 cup whole milk

6 ounces high quality semi-sweet dark chocolate

3 tablespoons freshly brewed strong coffee (optional) not optional! Without this, the chocolate flavor will be one dimensional

1/4 cup finishing-quality olive oil

1 tablespoon maple syrup possibly replace with honey. Try different honeys. maybe I could find one that marimo likes? Possibly buckwheat honey, something dark and strong like him. Maybe fireweed honey for the buttery flavor

Brandy (amount depending on if I plan to let chopper have any)

1 teaspoon vanilla

pinch fine salt

Sea salt or grey lavender salt, to serve sea salt preferred

Lightly sweetened whipped cream, to serve

Note: best attempt so far. When he thought I wasn’t looking, he licked the bowl. Had a smidge of chocolate on the tip of his nose for the rest of the day. So fucking CUTE!!! gross

———————————————

And Nami knows about this hidden recipe book and tells Zoro that Sanji keeps tiny liquor bottles from the various inns they’ve stayed at hidden in that drawer (not even a great lie, but Zoro buys it)

And Zoro finds that little green book one day, and suddenly Zoro is paying more attention to the ways Sanji cares for him and takes care of him

if he starts sticking around after the weekly dessert experiment and helping Sanji clean up, that’s between him and his cook

[voidmade]

buckwheat for breakfast with shredded carrot, one boiled egg, half an avocado, hazelnuts, and a little tinned mackerel on the side...so sad i ran out of spinach bc my morning bowl is not complete without some green leaves in there but whatever...slaps

[not-available-for-comment]

So I needed to use up an open carton of chicken broth and I also had some tofu I’d been planning to make crispy tofu with, so the obvious answer was ramen. But I don’t really like brothy soups and I generally try to eat buckwheat soba or very small amounts of western noodles in noodle dishes due to the diabetes. I also tend to like Vietnamese food so I was like fuck it let’s make a pale imitation of pho with soba noodles.

I need to go shopping so I have like nothing in the house, but I mix up the tofu and put it in the oven and then I put the stock on the stove to boil with some water (because I only had 2 cups stock). I try to remember what goes in pho or in ramen for that matter, and I’m very sad that I have no bean sprouts or cilantro in the house but I do have some very elderly carrots and some reasonably fresh garlic, so I matchstick the least pathetic carrots and thinly slice an enormous clove of garlic and add those to the simmering broth.

Then I sit down for a bit because I exploded my spine a few months ago and sometimes that means you sit down a lot.

When the tofu was ready to come out of the oven I set it out to cool and then added two bundles of soba to the broth because I didn’t want a ton of broth and I did want leftovers. (Mistake; should’ve just done one bundle. Oh well.) My green onions are even more pathetic than my carrots but I slice up the best bits and roughly chop a small handful of salted roasted peanuts.

When the soba’s cooked I take the broth off the heat, lift out as many noodles as I want, and ladle some broth over them. I add the scallions, the peanuts, a few dashes of fish sauce, a few dashes of soy sauce, and the juice of half a lime. I stir in a fistful or so of arugula until it’s partly wilted. (Because I think bitter greens go better with Asian food and that’s the one I have on hand.) I add a handful or so of roasted tofu. I realize a ramen egg would be killer with this but oh well too late to make one now. I dig a lemon ginger kombucha out of the fridge.

It is… almost unfairly good? I genuinely don’t understand how I made something this good out of the pathetic scrapings of my fridge. Aren’t you supposed to suffer for good food? (Whoa where did I learn to think like that?)

I am incapable of eating noodles like a sane adult, which is another reason why I don’t eat much ramen. I slurp them and I bite them and they make a mess and I generally look like a weird little noodle gremlin. But I don’t care. I MADE these and they’re GOOD. How did I do it? I don’t know. It has something to do with my girlfriend though. She can’t cook for me right now, but she cooks for me like she loves me, and it makes me want to cook like I love myself. I took a picture for her, see?

This recipe won’t win any awards. It’s not authentic. It would be better with sprouts, and cilantro, and a ramen egg. But it was good, and I made it myself, and I made it for myself, and I ate it. I’m proud of this recipe.

[transactinides]

i'm super bad at cooking and never know where to start because every recipe out there asks for ingredients i simply don't have at home so do you perhaps know what basic ones would be good to stock up on? like eggs and stuff...especially when it comes to spices i have no idea what is okay to use

Haii o/ very honored that you sent me an ask, and ofc I’ll do my best to help! This reply got a bit out of hand so. Long text under the cut. Behold. Feel free to reach out in asks or dms or whatever with any future questions (@ everyone tbh).

Food is, of course, very subjective, so my idea of a perfect list of foods to keep a stock of will not be universal, but I hope this will, at least, give you some ideas if anything. 

First of all, I usually mentally break down my typical weekday recipe into vaguely carbs source - protein source - veggies, buy a couple of options for each category and just switch them around for variety. My standard set is

rice / pasta (usually spaghetti re:shapes) / glass noodles

eggs / chicken / tofu / bacon

random pack of frozen vegetables, bell peppers, eggplants, tomatoes, cucumbers, leafy greens. garlic and onions too

I have an option of making egg fried rice with chopped up bacon and added frozen vegetables one day, then blending the leftover vegetables with bell peppers and tomatoes to use as pasta sauce with chicken and spaghetti the next day, then branching out and making eggplant tofu stir fry with glass noodles, then using whatever eggplant tofu stir fry i had left as rice balls filling and making myself a quick vegetable salad on the side… And all those things are easy to make and don’t need much fussing around. 

Other options to consider would be potatoes (you can roast them with whatever, boil, fry, etc), buckwheat (my wife doesn’t like it otherwise I’d use it more often), kidney beans and chickpeas for your carbs*; fish and meat for your proteins (those are. a bit too expensive for me usually); carrots, cabbage, leeks etc. 

The list looks long, but, again, you just need to pick out a couple of things from each group and throw shit in a pan so to speak. And a lot of them are easily soup-able (boiling water chicken potatoes carrots rice? boom soup. etc), which is another easy base recipe to exploit.

Now to the matter of spices. Salt and pepper are obvious enough, but a good thing to look for are, especially if you are just getting into cooking, spice blends. Something something French Herbs™ something something Taco Seasoning™ something something Seven Spice™ something something Garam Masala™. There’s a lot of different ones, but they are, essentially, a formed flavor profile in themselves, so you don’t need to worry about mixing spices and herbs that might not go well together, and by paying attention to contents you can learn for yourself what individual seasonings are commonly used together.

Also, everyone, hold your judgement real quick and trust me with this, but ooh I always save leftover flavor packets from instant ramen and reuse them in other dishes. Egg fried rice just doesn’t taste right without suspicious red powder courtesy of shin ramen… It’s probably MSG my beloved or something…

While I’m at it, bouillon cubes are handy to have, you can use them for soups, crumble them up in other recipes. Adding one to the water you’re cooking rice in is a great hack at making it more flavourful.

In general, while I do actually have way too much spices (and keep buying more… very excited about my newly acquired dried tarragon…), the ones I’d advise to have for an average person would be:

Salt (ideally both coarse grain and fine grain, but fine grain only serves you just right)

black pepper (both in a mill/grinder and peppercorns), red pepper flakes

paprika, garlic powder, ginger powder

bay leaves, dried oregano, basil, thyme, dill, cinnamon, coriander, cardamon, cumin, turmeric, sumak....

I really got a bit carried away by the end, but. You don't actually need to buy all of them and at the same time, just start with whatever couple of things you'd need for whatever you are cooking and let your collection build up over time, since spices aren't something you need to buy often anyway 👍

Other things I think it’s nice to have in stock in your kitchen would be flour and baking powder, vinegar (distilled vinegar, rice vinegar… I like to have balsamic vinegar too but it’s so expensive it’s ridiculous ngl), soy sauce, cooking oil of your choice (I use sunflower oil, olive oil and sesame oil), panko or breadcrumbs, starch (i have potato starch, cornstarch and tapioka starch, I would suggest just getting cornstarch at first).

* going to clarify here that while beans are often brought up as a source of protein, most are rich in complex carbs, excluding edamame and green beans for example. And since I mostly often cook beans with meat, they check out my daily carbs in my head.

Gardening in Raised Beds On Pavement

Growing in raised beds on top of pavement is an excellent strategy if you have limited growing space. Let's learn how to make the most of that concrete or asphalt!

Build Tall Beds

Crops need room to send roots down into the soil. Providing plenty of room to grow means your crops have a strong foundation, hold moisture longer, and can access more nutrients in the soil through deeper roots. Raised beds on pavement should be a minimum of 24 inches tall and ideally 32 inches tall! Taller is always better, especially if you live somewhere with hot and/or dry summers.

Filling Your Raised Beds

When you build raised beds on the ground, your crops have access to the soil underneath for draining excess water from above and wicking water up from below. Building on pavement takes this away, so how we fill the beds really matters!

Bottom Layer: Gravel

Fill the bottom of your raised beds with about 6 inches of gravel. This helps fight erosion, helps with drainage, and keeps your crop's roots from coming into contact with the pavement.

Middle Layer: Decomposing Wood

I highly recommend the hugelkultur method. A hugelkultur, or "mound culture" in German, is a raised bed with a base of decomposing wood. Rotting wood encourages fungal networks, holds moisture, and fills the space pretty cheaply. Get some logs, sticks, and other dead wood pieces and make a layer on top of your gravel.

Top Layers: Loose, Rich Growing Medium

There's lots of options for filling this space, but the goal is high-quality organic matter. Avoid bags of potting soil, as these aren't living soil. Living soil self-renews and keeps providing a nutrient rich environment. Potting soil will eventually dry out and lose nutrients. Instead gather things like:

Compost (homemade or purchased)

Coffee grounds (many coffee shops are happy to give out used grounds for free)

Living soil (from your yard or garden, even just a few shovels full will likely contain fungal networks and earthworms)

Grass clippings (not sprayed with anything!!)

Kitchen scraps (egg shells, fruits, veggies)

Leaf mold (leaves that have aged for two years)

Livestock manure

Shredded office paper

Worm casings

Alternate layers of whichever of these materials you're able to get and make a big raised bed lasagna. Save your compost for the top lasagna layer. Then top the whole bed off with mulch! Mulch helps hold water and keeps weeds at bay.

The Best time to Build Raised Beds is in the Fall

You can build beds any time, but building in the fall gives your bed contents time to settle and break down over the winter. Your lasagna layers need time to break down into finished soil, which crops generally prefer. Then just add some more organic matter on top in the spring before planting.

What To Plant

Here's some crop suggestions to go easy on your garden in the first year. After the first year though the sky is the limit!

Beets

Herbs

Leafy greens

Legumes

Onions

Maintaining Raised Beds on Pavement

Irrigate: Even with your fabulous organic material lasagna, your raised bed on pavement will still dry out. Prepare to water regularly, especially in the seed and seedling phase. After your crops get established a deep weekly watering should be enough unless it's extremely hot/dry.

Fertilize: During the summer, add some liquid fertilizer every couple of weeks (during your watering sesh) to push nutrients down into the soil. Some great liquid fertilizer options are comfrey tea, fish fertilizer, and worm tea.

Soil Renewal: Every fall top your beds off with some new organic matter. Over time your raised beds will decompose and sink, so fill those babies back up so they're ready for next spring! And don't forget to mulch!

Aerate: As your layers decompose you'll want to do some gentle aerating with a digging fork to keep the soil loose and crumbly.

Use Cover Crops: Cover crops help enrich the soil and keep it from drying out.

Summer cover crops: Buckwheat, cow peas, millet

Winter cover crops: Daikon radish, oats, winter rye

Happy growing!!

There are about a billion different diets circulating these days. Atkins, south beach, while thirty, paleo... and on and on and on.

One that has left a few scratching their heads is the blood type diet.

The blood type diet is a diet that, well, is based on your specific blood type. Created by naturopath Peter J. D'Adamo, the idea of the diet is eating based on your blood type -- O, A, B, or AB -- to help you trim down and get healthier.

So what are you supposed to eat? Well, depends on your blood type.

Type O blood: A high protein diet heavy on lean meat, poultry, fish, and vegetables, and light on grains, beans, and dairy. D'Adamo also recommends various supplements to help with tummy troubles and other issues he says people with type O tend to have.

Type A blood: A meat-free diet based on fruits and vegetables, beans and legumes, and whole grains -- ideally, organic and fresh, because D'Adamo says people with type A blood have a sensitive immune system.

Type B blood: Avoid corn, wheat, buckwheat, lentils, tomatoes, peanuts, and sesame seeds. Chicken is also problematic, D'Adamo says. He encourages eating green vegetables, eggs, certain meats, and low-fat dairy.

Type AB blood: Foods to focus on include tofu, seafood, dairy, and green vegetables. He says people with type AB blood tend to have low stomach acid. Avoid caffeine, alcohol, and smoked or cured meats.

So, whether or not you subscribe to this train of thinking of eating for your blood type, it is certainly something worth investigating and seeing what works for YOUR body. .

vegan protein

complete proteins in the vegan diet

what is a complete protein?

Protein is comprised of 20 amino acids; 11 of these amino acids are produced by the human body. The other nine amino acids (called "essential amino acids") must be obtained from the foods we eat.

When a food contains all nine of these amino acids, it is called a "complete protein."

which foods are complete proteins?

Animal proteins are complete, including meat, poultry, fish, eggs and dairy. There are also a few plant-based sources of complete protein, including:

* Quinoa

* Buckwheat

* Hempseed

* Blue-green algae

* Soybeans

For other sources of complete proteins vegans must combine incomplete proteins. They do not have to be combined in the same meal but can be eaten separately across the day.

combining incomplete proteins to form a complete protein

If you're a vegetarian or vegan, or if you limit the amount of animal products you consume, you can combine incomplete, plant-based proteins to meet your body's needs.

combinations include:

* Nuts or seeds with whole grains (peanut butter on whole wheat toast)

* Whole grains with beans (beans and rice; hummus and pita bread; bean-based chili and crackers; refried beans and tortillas)

* Beans with nuts or seeds (salad with chickpeas and sunflower seeds)

Gourmet Fried Chicken and Waffles

Eat them together and its a combination of sweet, salty, and crispy!

A comfort food restaurant in town sadly closed when the owner retired, and they made the best chicken and waffles I’ve had! They made maple butter and a sriracha aioli which made the waffles to die for! This is an involved recipe, be warned. Let’s break it down!

The chicken needs to sit in buttermilk for a while, and you’ll want to make the maple butter and aioli before you serve. This is written in paragraph form, and I hope I’ve made it easy to read!

Fried Chicken

Take 2 lb boneless chicken (light, dark, whatever) and put it in a container filled with 2 c buttermilk to sit for at least a couple hours.

In a large bowl, mix 2 cups of flour. Add 1 tsp of salt, 1/4 tsp paprika, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. To flavor that chicken add between 1/4 tsp to 1 tsp each of herbs and spices you like, such as garlic powder, onion powder, tarragon, thyme, oregano, ground mustard, ground ginger, white pepper, green pepper, and /or chili powder. You can even just do a tablespoon or two of curry powder if you want. Sift it all up with a fork. Store until usage.

Once your aioli, maple butter, and waffle batter are made, you need to fry the chicken. Start by taking out chicken from the buttermilk and dredging it in the flour mixture so both sides are coated

Fill a skillet with enough neutral oil (I used veggie oil) that your chicken cutlets are half submerged. Bring to heat on medium high, that a little drop of buttermilk sputters when dropped in. Put cutlets in a few at a time, as to not overcrowd and reduce the temp of the oil. Once browned flip them over with a spatula or tongs. After both sides brown, put the chicken on a towel or a baking rack to sop up any extra oil.

Sriracha Aoili

Mix 1 cup mayo with 1 TBS of sriracha. Mix. Halve this if you want.

Maple Butter

Melt 1/2 c butter in a bowl. I don’t own a microwave, so I double broiled it on the stove. Add 2 TBS of maple syrup and mix. Put maple butter in a smaller container to chill and harden.

Buttermilk Pancakes

In a bowl, sift 2 c flours (I used 1 1/2c all purpose and 1/2 c buckwheat for earthiness), 2 tsp powder, 2 tsp soda, 2 TBS sugar, and 1 tsp salt in a bowl.

Whisk 1 egg. Add it to the bowl with 1 tsp vanilla extract, 2 TBS neutral oil, and 1 c buttermilk. It will create a thick paste.

Whisk in 1 more c buttermilk until lumps disappear.

Heat up your waffle iron, and I recommend putting in batter after you heat the oil for the chicken, but not before you put the chicken in.

Shitty Picture

I don’t own a traditionally shaped waffle maker. We left it when we moved out of my granny unit (too small for two), and when I went online to replace it, I saw the bubble waffle maker and that was that!

What's your go to easy meal? For me it's spicy rice topped with a fried egg, or French toast

I got curious after seeing the oysters and buckwheat post again lmao

honestly my lazy meal lately has been poached eggs on toast. preferably, dill rye toast. there's just something about dill rye that's so delicious. or a frozen pizza with fresh green onions added after baking, that's also fantastic.

i know rice and egg go well together but i don't ever really have them. it's like i forget rice even exists when I'm feeling lazy.

I was tagged by @bacchianas (btw I was trying to tag you as habemus-sea and couldn't figure out why I did not work).

Relationship status - I don't have time. (That's a lie btw but social relationships are really hard it's a lot better but a relationship or idk casual flings are still an uphill struggle for me)

Favourite colour - all kinds of blue, is it green or blue you bet it's blue, bright yellow like the one French fishermen in Brittany wear. In general satured, brigt colours are good. Pastel tones are boring and ugly.

Song stuck in my head - Barbara - Y aura du monde à l'enterrement.

Last song I listened to - one of the dozen protest songs we have at the demonstration yesterday.

Macron nous fait la guerre/et sa police aussi/mais on reste deter/pour bloquer le pays.

Macron is waging war against us/and so does his police/we we stay determined/to block the country

Three favourite foods -

Complète andouille : a crepe made with buckwheat, filled with cheese, andouille (a sausage made with pig's tripes), and an egg.

Seabass oven-baked under a salt crust

Asparagus

Last thing I googled - how will tomorrow's strike affect public transportation

Dream trip - all the small Russian ports along the Northern Sea Route in the Arctic Ocean, and Norilsk.

I want to see the Pacific Ocean, doesn't matter from which shore.

Ideally I want to have visited all the countries in Europe.

Saint Vincent and the Grenadines - because that is my favourite name for a country.

Anything I want for right now - buy this week's Canard Enchainé, for Macron to eat shit, for this day's work to go smoothly.

Nunu Soup

"That sounds like the best thing BabyTea had never even imagined could exist."

And indeed, it was. He had a BALL. Except for the eggy, which was not scrambled, and therefore anathema.

Nunu Soup, incidentally, is basically pantry ramen when you have almost none of the ingredients, including ramen.

Saute 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced or pressed, in some olive oil and garlic, with some fresh or powdered ginger. Add two big handfuls of sliced mushrooms (from the freezer, that's where I keep shitake mushrooms, they do excellently. Weirdly, they were BabyTea's second-favorite part of the meal, and he required me to excavate them from his bowl for him). Add about four cups of water with chicken bouillon, or chicken broth, or what have you. Splash in some soy sauce. Add cumin, black pepper, a bit of cayenne, a little dried onion if you don't have green onions to hand (the freeze killed mine). Stir in a spoon of miso if you have it and feel like it. Cook whatever long noodles you have on hand - I used buckwheat soba - in the broth. Add in a grated carrot and some spinach, fresh or frozen. Toss a hardboiled egg or two on top, and there you have it! Delicious, looks fancy, nunu soup!
