Pack Your Lunch

After working with patients and clients for a long while now, I have found an almost foolproof means of controlling calorie intake that is almost always overlooked.  Lunches.  Doing something as simple as packing your lunch and snacks for the day not only controls your cost of food, but controls your calorie intake, and gives YOU control of what you are putting into  your body.

I'm seeing people around me becoming zombies, because they don't mind what they put in their mouths, and it's almost always beige, artificial, repugnant food.  They are being willing lab rats in a grand experiment to alter the basic functioning of the human organism.  I have noticed, and look around, you'll very likely notice it, too, that those who eat beige, artificial, repugnant food (BARF) are less likely to challenge the easy way of life.  What do I mean by that?  These BARF-eating zombies do not travel upstream anymore, they do not attempt to be original or to find a way to do anything other than create bureaucratic mazes with hidden shortcuts that only a few know of in order to make life a little easier for themselves.  These lab-rats are creating their own maze to exist in, and the BARF is only enabling them.

I propose a way to break the BARF-cycle.  Pack your own lunch from food that you know is solidly under your ability to account for it's upbringing.  Food with limited GMOs, and very little beige-ness.

What should go in  your lunchbox? It's pretty much up to what you do every day, but in a broad, general sense, try for a high-protein dairy (I like Chobani Greek yogurt.  they're the little guys and are still honest), one or two pieces of fruit (I would avoid papayas, as they are mostly all GMO), about 3-4 ounces of lean protein, the equivalent of a cup and a half of vegetables, and about a half cup of starchy carbohydrate.  That all usually fits into a lunchbox snugly.  When you are performing your daily tasks and are eating, you eat from the lunchbox, and when the food is gone, you're done eating until dinner time.

And all this done and you have avoided eating any BARF.  It's healthy and easily traceable, and in no time, you'll find another side-benefit of eating food you control: your eyes open.  

Less complacency, less zombie like behavior, the more likely you are to survive the ZA.
