I know too much about nutrition labels and I'm losing my mind over the pink sauce.

1. let's start with the upsettingly obvious. 3g total carbohydrates but 4g fiber and 11g sugar? fiber and sugar are carbohydrates, so if that's correct then there are 15g carbohydrates at least (most foods have more total carbohydrates than fiber + sugar because there's also starch ect)

2. the first ingredient on this list that has ANY fiber is garlic. it's the fifth ingredient. the serving size is one tablespoon. one tablespoon of straight garlic has 0.2g fiber. one tablespoon of straight garlic *powder* has 0.9g fiber. there is no fucking way that this sauce has anywhere close to 4g fiber

3. speaking of the serving size being a tablespoon - it's also 14.4 grams. this is weirdly accurate considering it's difficult to convert tablespoons to grams and any normal label would have used milliliters instead. but i digress. there's a total of 16 grams of macronutrients listed (fiber + sugar + fat - we are ignoring the mysterious 3g of total carbs). that doesn't fit into a 14.4 gram serving size, especially not because water is the first ingredient and water has zero macronutrients.

4. the second ingredient is sunflower oil, which is 100% fat. every gram of oil that you add to something = 1 gram of fat added. but there's only 1 gram of fat in a 14.4 gram serving size. so the second ingredient - oil- is no more than 7% of the sauce. Let's say honey is another 6%, but everything else is just seasoning. this sauce is almost entirely water. with no emulsifiers or thickeners to be seen (for comparison, ranch contains xanthan gum and modified corn starch which can thicken any liquidy concoction) this "sauce" would be exactly the consistency of water.

5. not to mention that raw honey is third on the list, so there should be less sugar than fat. nope. there's 11 grams of sugar. pitaya might add to the sugar content, but we know it has to be less than 1g and probably significantly less because it's the 6th ingredient on the label. I'd guess there's max 2g sugar total if 1g of fat is correct. did she list her ingredients in random order or did she just make up macronutrients?

6. speaking of ingredients, there's no coloring listed on the label. either she thinks the public will be fooled into believing this color can be achieved by a sprinkle of Himalayan pink salt, or she is not aware that food dye counts as an ingredient. It's possible the pitaya added some color but that would be closer to purple or magenta than bubblegum, so i call bullshit.

7. there's not a single iron-containing ingredient on this list. *six ounces* of pitaya contains 0.1mg of iron, but that's it. there's no way on god's green earth that a concoction of primarily water with a splash of oil has 0.5mg of iron. actually, iron is hard to get and 0.5mg of iron in one tablespoon would be an exceptionally high-iron food. one CUP of spinach has 3.7mg of iron - so 0.2mg per tablespoon. did she cook this in a cast iron pan with a metal spatula?

8. 4% potassium is also way too high. potassium is weird so i won't do math on it, but both oil and honey have zero potassium for sure. there's nothing else I can see that jumps out at me as a high-potassium food. garlic and pitaya may have some, but again, potassium is hard to get! a sports drinks might have 4% of potassium if you're lucky. a serving of himilayan pink salt has 15mg of potassium - such a negligable amount that it's still listed as 0% of your DV. many processed foods do have weirdly high potassium levels, but that's because potassium, such as potassium sorbate, is added in as a preservative. but without "potassium" actually listed on the label, nothing and I mean nothing contains 190!! mg of potassium per TABLESPOON.

9. I can't believe I almost forgot. 1 gram of fat - 9 calories. 15 grams of mystery carbs - 60 calories. 69 calories (nice). where is she getting 90 calories from?

conclusion: not a single number on this label is possibly correct. there's a 100% chance that she made up random numbers and said yeah that looks believable and a 200% chance that she's never paid attention to a nutrition label in her life.

and what really drives me crazy is that if you're measuring ingredients carefully, and especially if you're using very basic ingredients that should have clear-cut nutrition information (like fucking oil and honey) it is NOT hard to do some basic arithmetic to put together accurate nutrition information for the final product. this is the most ridiculous shit I've seen in my life.

The MLM hack list

Alright. So there are a bunch of MLM diet companies that make a shitload of money of of us and yet our obesity rates in developed countries are thru the freaking roof.

How many times have you gotten the messages on Facebook, Instagram or whatever and it's like: Hey girl, haven't seen you since high school, let's get coffee... OR... they just post the precopied message & ask about your goals, & proceed to add a flurry of hyperpositive social media messages, like my friend recently did to me.

Did anyone in high school like you? Not me! Do that screams danger from the start. I was horrendously bullied in elementary school. I was gone to a parochial school for a couple years so the only reason that I avoided constant bullying in high school was because... they forgot who I was.

Here are some ideas I stole from various companies, cheaper:

Herbalife: this company's stuff works, for 2 reasons- you replace 2 out of 3 meals with shakes. However, alot of people are not successful if they make their shakes at home and if they add in all the snack bars. People do, however, lose weight if they get their shakes from a "nutrition" shop. Why? Because they blend those shakes super thick with a metric shitton of ice & I think alot of them add sf pudding, which enhances the thickness. Also, you get an iced tea, normally with added fiber. So the answer is- you have 2 drinks that take a long time to finish AND give you added caffeine & fiber. So? Just do it at home: keep your shake calories low, make it extra large & thicker than a snicker, & follow with a caffeinated tea & add fiber to it. I like the herbalife brand but I order it off Amazon so I don't have to get the whole shpeel. Now brand has "prebiotic fiber" that is cheaper. There is also benefiber from Walmart. It is cheap, so why not?

Beachbody: you don't need to spend a billion dollars on protein shakes or meal replacement shakes. I do, however, love some of their workout systems.

Tai Slim: this company's great idea was the chocolate gluccomannon chews, I just didn't know ot at the time. I have tried to order it but have been unable to so maybe they don't make it any more. So my hack would be- the chocolate calcium chews, some gluccomannon tablets, & a large glass of water.

Modere: this company was all over tik tok & reels for awhile, while the reps were trying to schlep people into this scheme. The Golden Child was the liquid CLA chocolate, probably because it tastes like a chocolatey treat while it is actually a CLA supplement. CLA can be purchased at almost any health food store, way cheaper.

Plexus: the pink drink. More research needed on this, but I think it is just a fiber drink. Hack: gluccomannon powder & a Starburst all pink flavor packet.

Most of these companies often sell an associated "fat burner:" often something with caffeine, ecgc from green tea, etc. You can get something similar at a health food store for a fraction of the price. If you want something fancy, there is Ember from the Ambrosia Collective. Use the Google. MFINGCOO is a discount code that I think still works, but it isn't mine.

The other way these companies are successful is because they have a built in "tribe." Weight watchers, beachbody, herbalife-- they rope you into a bunch of meetings, calls, and online groups. A bunch of people are sharing ideas regularly and getting involved in their cultish antics. You can do this on your own by finding your own people. You can get your own seminars by watching a lot of youtube. Anything that focuses on reprogramming you to cook at home and eat primarily whole foods will probably work. Join free groups. Disregard anything outside of what works for you ( I have to ignore a lot of dessert recipes because they cause bingeing for me).

Lipozene: pretty sure this is just gluccomannon. You can find gluccomannon tablets way cheaper at a health food store. Walmart also was carrying a generic version.

Hydroxycut: pretty sure the active ingredient here is HCA? I don't have a bottle currently to look. But isn't HCA just garcinia? So much cheaper at a health food store. I personally cannot take hydroxycut, it makes me RAGE. I like, get upset and freak out at work, so I don't even think I am willing to try it again.

It works: I think the skinny coffee would be comparable to the "slim coffee," which was cheaper but seemed to be chromium. You can just pick up a chromium supplement... & seriously, you can just drink coffee. Don't add calories to it.

Apple cider vinegar gummies: Just take shots of apple cider vinegar. You can buy a gallon at walmart, it will last a long time. Play with shot recipes, you can do good girl moonshine (ala Trim Healthy Mamma), & use it liberally for dressing recipes.

L-Glutamine: don't remember the company, but this is available at more health food stores, not for $100 a container.

Maybe I have bought so much shit so you don't have it. Is there an MLM company I missed? 🤔 let me know and I will check it out for future posts.

Remember- whatever you do, stay safe. Research your shit. Focus on your daily habits and remember that what you are eating outweighs almost any supplement you could buy. Eat whole food, walk, have an exercise routine & stop expecting a 30 day result for a body that took you 40 years (or whatever) to create.

I definitely don't think the ozempic trend is worth the cost, but if there is no other way for you & you have the money, it is worth a shot. Just don't expect your insurance to pay for it. Many insurance companies are currently not covering it, and I don't really know if they should consider it.

Surgery? If there is no other way and you want to, go for it.

The way that these things work though, is by changing what you are eating. Period. These are all systems to change what you ingest and you can change what you eat for free.

I am still on Nomorbidity & Alkemi from the Ambrosia Collective. I have not found suitable replacements for them but I am also not looking hard, they have a reasonable price point to me.

Easy Green Tea Peach Coconut Chia Pudding

1 13-oz can lite coconut milk (must be lite)

~1 Tb sweetened peach matcha powder

6 Tb chia seeds

The coconut milk must be lite, or it will be too fatty to set properly.

Shake up the can and empty it into a bowl. Whisk in the matcha powder. I meant to put in 1/2 tablespoon but I spilled in a bit more, which probably ended up being about right. Stir in chia seeds. Cover well and refrigerate overnight. Portion into individual servings if desired.

———

I came up with this idea to use up some leftover sweetened matcha powder from before my diabetes diagnosis and to have an easy high protein high fiber dessert to go with Asian food. But hot damn. Cold, lightly sweet and very refreshing. I’m tempted to actually buy more matcha powder now so I can try more flavors 😅

I got my matcha powder from here (Etsy link). It doesn’t look like she has peach in stock atm but I’m looking at the pumpkin spice like 👀👀👀 Whisk in a dollop or two of pumpkin purée maybe??

Unveiling the Green Marvel: Exploring the Myriad Health Benefits of Matcha

In recent years, matcha has surged in popularity as a revered health elixir, captivating health enthusiasts and coffee connoisseurs alike. This vibrant green powdered tea, celebrated for its rich history and ceremonial significance in Japanese culture, has transcended traditional boundaries to become a global wellness phenomenon. With its distinctive flavor and an array of purported health benefits, matcha has earned a special place in the pantheon of superfoods.

The Matcha Marvel Unveiled:

Derived from the same Camellia sinensis plant as green tea, matcha is distinguished by its unique cultivation and preparation methods. Before harvest, matcha leaves are shaded from sunlight, prompting an increase in chlorophyll production and amino acid content. After harvesting, the leaves are meticulously stone-ground into a fine powder, preserving their nutritional potency.

Unraveling the Health Benefits:

Rich in Antioxidants: Matcha boasts a formidable arsenal of antioxidants, including catechins, notably epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), which neutralize free radicals and combat oxidative stress. Research suggests that EGCG may offer protective effects against chronic diseases such as cancer and cardiovascular ailments.

Enhanced Mental Clarity and Focus: Unlike the jittery highs and subsequent crashes associated with coffee consumption, matcha provides a sustained release of energy due to its synergistic blend of caffeine and L-theanine. This unique combination promotes alertness and cognitive function while fostering a sense of calmness and concentration.

Supports Weight Management: Studies indicate that matcha may bolster metabolism and aid in fat oxidation, making it a favored ally in weight management endeavors. Moreover, its high fiber content promotes satiety, curbing cravings and promoting feelings of fullness.

Promotes Skin Health: The abundance of antioxidants in matcha contributes to its skin-rejuvenating properties, shielding against UV damage, reducing inflammation, and promoting collagen synthesis. Regular consumption may impart a radiant complexion and combat premature aging.

Fortifies Immune Function: The immune-boosting potential of matcha stems from its polyphenol content, which bolsters the body's defense mechanisms against pathogens and enhances overall resilience.

Navigating Potential Considerations:

While matcha offers a plethora of health benefits, it's prudent to exercise moderation and be mindful of potential side effects. Excessive consumption may lead to caffeine-related symptoms such as insomnia, jitteriness, and gastrointestinal distress. Additionally, individuals with sensitivities to caffeine or those on certain medications should exercise caution.

Matcha: A Versatile Wellness Ally:

From traditional tea ceremonies to trendy cafes, matcha has seamlessly integrated into diverse culinary landscapes, lending its vibrant hue and distinctive flavor to an array of beverages and culinary creations. Whether enjoyed as a soothing latte, incorporated into smoothie bowls, or infused into savory dishes, matcha transcends boundaries to captivate palates and nourish bodies.

Final Thoughts:

As the wellness zeitgeist continues to evolve, matcha remains a steadfast emblem of vitality and rejuvenation, revered for its unparalleled health benefits and culinary versatility. Whether sipped ceremonially or savored as a culinary delight, matcha serves as a potent reminder of the profound connection between nourishment, culture, and holistic well-being. Embrace the green marvel and embark on a journey of vitality and renewal with each sip of this esteemed elixir.

Sure, let's estimate the totals for some key nutrients based on typical quantities of ingredients used in the smoothie:

Total Carbohydrates: Assuming moderate quantities of ingredients, such as 1 medium banana, 1 small green apple, 4 dates, 1/4 cup dry oats, and 1 Tbsp each of goji berry powder and cocoa powder, the total carbohydrates would likely be around 80-100 grams.

Total Fiber: With the ingredients mentioned above, the total fiber content is estimated to be around 15-20 grams.

Total Sugars: Considering the natural sugars present in fruits and dates, along with any added sugars in cocoa powder or goji berry powder, the total sugars would likely range from 40-60 grams.

Total Vitamin C: Assuming the consumption of 1 medium banana, 1 small green apple, and 1 Tbsp of goji berry powder, the total Vitamin C content could be around 30-40% of the Daily Value (DV).

Total Potassium: With the inclusion of 1 medium banana, 1 small green apple, 4 dates, and possibly some potassium from other ingredients like oats, the total potassium content could be significant, potentially meeting or exceeding 20% of the DV.

Total Vitamin B6: The total Vitamin B6 content could be around 20-30% of the DV, primarily from the banana.

Total Protein: With sources like oats, goji berry powder, and possibly some protein from other ingredients, the total protein content might be around 5-10 grams.

Total Calcium: Depending on the choice between dry oats or oat milk, the total calcium content could vary. If using oat milk, it could contribute around 2-12% of the DV.

Dinner: Orang Tofu w/Basmati Rice and Hosta Greens

Tea: Lemon Ginger Turmeric Tea w/ Black Pepper & Yarrow

Recipes!!(:

Dinner:

Ingredients:

1 block of drained super firm tofu

Panda Express Orange Sauce: ~2 tbsp

Corn Starch: 1/3c

Basmati Rice: 3c dried

Water: 3.5c

Hosta: (quantity varies by portion, for the portion pictured 1/4c chopped in 1/2c rice )

How To:

Start by preparing your rice and seasoning it in your preferred way ( I like to use rice vinegar, salt, and pepper, while some also add oil in as well), rinsing the rice and draining it before adding the 1:1.5 ratio of rice to water and seasonings. If you have a rice cooker it will take a lot of the work out of making rice, but you can also use a covered pot on the stove. Typically once you bring it to a boil and reduce it to a simmer, the rice should be done in about 20 minutes. Stove cooking requires you to know how to balance the heat you use in an efficient way so that you reduce the amount of scorching. You'll also want to have a tight-fitting lid for the pot since the steam is the most crucial part of the rice cooking process. Once the rice has been reduced to a simmer you're going to want to avoid removing the lid until it's done cooking. After the 20-25 minutes have passed, you'll see that all of the water has cooked away and it is time to remove the pot from the heat. Allow the rice to rest in the pot for a few minutes before removing the lid and fluffing it to have a fluffier result.

Once your rice is cooking, then you can start cooking your tofu. You'll want it to be pressed and drained before you cut it into your desired-sized pieces. Once it's cut, you'll toss it in some corn starch, rice starch, or perhaps arrowroot powder (if you have that) for extra benefits. A light coating that covers all sides is plenty for this process, but if you want a crunchier outer shell on the tofu, you can simply increase the amount of starch/powder coating the tofu. To do this, just cover it in the powder and allow it to rest for a couple minutes. Once the water has moistened the existing layer of powder, you can toss them back into the dry powder to coat again, repeating as many times as desired.

From there, you can take your coated tofu over to a pan of heated oil, just high enough to cook your tofu halfway - this is referred to as shallow frying. The pieces shouldn't be fully submerged in the oil in this process, but any pieces that are will cook in half the time so keep that in mind. Tofu can get quite hard if it's overcooked - sometimes almost inedibly hard - so keep that in mind as well. If kept on medium heat, the tofu should take only a few minutes to cook before turning a beautiful golden color. If you want a harder crunch, allowing the sides to cook a bit longer will turn them a darker color - signifying to you that you have an uber-crunchy piece of tofu on your hands (or, rather, in your chopsticks...) Just simply flip a piece or two over to check the color before flipping all of them and repeat on the other side. Sometimes you may need to rotate the sides that are down on the pan in order to get an even crunch on the entire piece (this will vary with the cut sizes). After every side is cooked, remove from the oil, placing on a clean towel to absorb any excess oil. From there you can toss it in any sauce of your choice! Tofu takes any flavor quite well so feel free to experiment with your sauces.

After your rice and tofu are finished cooking, chop up some hosta greens (portions will vary by preference) or add in any other fresh greens and enjoy!! I often enjoy making a large salad and then adding a cup of hot rice and some tofu on top to increase the amount of fiber in my diet, so try that out as well!!! Play around with the ratios to find what works best for you. (: Always make sure you enjoy your creation and thank God for the blessings in your life, asking for His blessing before enjoying your meal.

To make the tea, simply boil some water and add in some turmeric, ginger, black pepper, lemon juice, and yarrow. You can play with the ratios here to suit your taste as well as your needs. If you're in a significant amount of pain, adding extra yarrow would likely help. I usually just swallow the pieces of yarrow as if they were pills or chew it up before swallowing. Straining it seems like an unnecessary waste to me, as you can always benefit from a little extra fiber. Also by ingesting the spices and herbs with the tea it seems to me that you'd get more benefits that way, but to each their own!(:

I hope yall share this with your loved ones and have a wonderful bonding experience in enjoying sustenance together. Remember to be loving to all of those who love you, and try to extend an olive branch to those who don't - because you never know what is going on inside a person.

Fries with chili cheese sauce are the only thing that will work sometimes. You know? Fortunately, this equally comforting vegan version is now available to satiate that craving! Though it comes together quickly using healthy pantry staples (like fiber-rich lentils!), it feels opulent and special. Friends, all you need to nourish your body and soul are ten ingredients. Allow us to demonstrate how to do it! Given that they are dubbed chili cheese fries, let us talk about the chili first, the cheese second, and the fries third. For the vegan chili, we went with a wholesome base of lentils and seasoned them with chili powder, smoked paprika, apple cider vinegar, ketchup, and coconut aminos. It’s a smoky-savory mix that cooks until thick and flavorful. It’s not too saucy because soggy fries are not a winning move! Now, on to the cheese! We opted for our cashew + carrot vegan cheddar, which is also good on grilled cheese sandwiches and in mac ‘n’ cheese. It has a neutral, cheesy flavor and is super creamy and delicious! For the oven-baked fries, we kept it simple with potatoes, avocado oil, and salt. Cooking at a high temperature (425 F / 218 C) ensures they get golden brown with crispy edges (a.k.a., fry perfection!). Put the three parts together, and you’ve got CHILI CHEESE FRIES! Cue the face stuffing. Keep it simple or make them beautiful and extra special by topping with quick pickled onions or pickled jalapeños, vegan sour cream, green onions, and/or cilantro. We can’t wait for you to try these vegan chili cheese fries! They’re: Savory Spicy “Cheesy” Satisfying Comforting & SO delicious! This dish is the perfect meal for satisfying your comfort food craving and getting your fiber in at the same time. It would also be perfect for enjoying when the “big game” is on (or whatever the sporting folks say). Prep Time: 15 minutes minutes Cook Time: 30 minutes minutes Total Time: 45 minutes minutes Servings 3 (Servings) Course Entrée Cuisine: Gluten-Free, Vegan Freezer Friendly: 1 month (stored separately) Does it keep? 2-3 Days Cook ModePrevent your screen from going dark FRIES 2 large (~1/3 lb each) potatoes, scrubbed clean but NOT peeled, cut into 1/2-inch “fries” (Yukon gold or russet work well) 1 Tbsp. avocado oil 1/4 tsp. sea salt CHILI 1 (15-oz.) can lentils, drained and rinsed 4 tsp. chili powder (or store-bought; if salted, start with less coconut aminos) 1 Tbsp. smoked paprika 1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar 1 Tbsp. ketchup 2 Tbsp. coconut aminos 1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper (optional) 1 tablespoon avocado oil, for cooking Cheese: If serving with homemade vegan cheddar cheese, begin soaking your cashews and carrots now. 2/3 cup (80 g) cashews + 1/2 cup (64 g) thinly sliced peeled carrots covered with boiling water. Set aside.   FRIES: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (218 degrees C). For easier cleanup (but slightly less crispy fries), line a baking sheet with parchment paper (we didn’t). Add sliced potatoes to the baking sheet and toss with oil and salt. Spread the fries out so they are all on a flat side with the peel facing up, and ensure that no fries are overlapping. Bake for 20–25 minutes or until beginning to brown on the bottom, then carefully toss and bake for another 8–10 minutes until tender but crispy.PRO TIP: If your fries are sticking, use a metal (or other thin/hard) spatula, flip it upside down, and push it under the fries to lift and flip, keeping all the crispy goodness (think scraping rather than scooping).   CHILI: While the fries bake, add your lentils to a mixing bowl along with the chili powder, smoked paprika, apple cider vinegar, ketchup, coconut aminos, and cayenne (optional). Toss until evenly coated.   Heat a 10-inch or larger nonstick or well-seasoned cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add avocado oil and place your lentil mixture into the skillet. Distribute the mixture into the pan, ensuring an even layer. Cook for 4-5 minutes, undisturbed. It should be sizzling and bubbling nicely; if it’s not, turn up the heat a bit.

  Once some of the liquid has cooked off and the mixture is slightly browned on the bottom, use a spatula to flip sections as evenly as possible to brown the other side for another 3 minutes. Once the mixture is darkened in color and looks thick and chili-like, turn off the heat and set aside.   Cheese: Finish making the vegan cheddar cheese at this time. Stop cooking when the “cheese” looks creamy and thick like queso, but before it firms up too much.   Time to assemble! Plate your fries and top with lentil chili and vegan cheese sauce (there will be extra cheese sauce). Garnish with pickled onions (and/or pickled jalapeños), vegan sour cream, green onions, and cilantro (all optional). Leftover chili and vegan cheddar keep (stored separately) in the refrigerator for 2-3 days or in the freezer for up to 1 month.   Serving: 1 serving Calories: 489 Carbohydrates: 66.7 g; Protein: 19.4 g; Fat: 18.6 g Saturated Fat: 2.5 g Polyunsaturated Fat: 3.4 g Monounsaturated Fat: 10.8 g Trans Fat: 0 g Cholesterol: 0 mg Sodium: 652 mg Potassium: 1527 mg Fiber: 13.6 g Sugar: 9.6 g Vitamin A: 2687 IU Vitamin C: 9.5 mg Calcium: 136 mg Iron: 11.1 mg
