Working and eating are our responsibilities. Oftentimes it’s not a choice, but it’s already programmed into our lives. Now let’s talk about it
Sugar High 🍬
At one point, I was eating snacks like crazy. I could finish a loaf of bread in one day, a pack of biscuits for dinner, or a litre of milk within a few hours. It escalated to eating ridiculous amount of sugar for a few weeks. I couldn’t stop myself until I had two huge acne on my nose and chin that are comparable to Rudolph’s. My body was telling me how absurd my sugar consumption was.
That was the start of my interest in nutrition. I don’t wanna know everything about it so I’m not always worried about what I eat, but I want to know enough that I’ll refrain from overeating.
Key points from Matching Your Diet with Your Life podcast with Dr John Berardi:
Sleep needs is dependent on your diet and activities
Instead of counting calories, pay attention to the calorie source (good or highly processed)
Prioritize eating protein, fruit, and veggies as most snacks have carbs in it
Fasting helps to control our appetite, we can eat whatever we want after and still maintain our weight
Women are much more sensitive to negative energy balance, be more careful with diets
The method of ‘intuitive eating’ only works when we are active, sleep enough, and manage stress well
Slow down your eating to be mindful instead of emotional eating, it helps you to be aware when you’re full
Flexible > Remote Work 🏢
Everyone I talked to in my office prefers flexible working arrangements. Our company is doing 3 in office and 2 days WFH, with the office acting as a base where everyone can come in whenever they want to.
For me, flexible work is the ideal mix between connectedness, productivity, and accountability. What do you think?
