The ingredients of the stew cooking right now are: lentils, pumpkin, kale, habanero, jalapeno, onion, parsley, nutritional yeast, water, cabbage, salt.

I make these stews a lot with what's in season through my farm share and from the local farmers market. Usually about 20 minutes preparation time for 6 or 7 meals. Guests are uniformly surprised at how delicious they are and how easy they are to cook.

I cooked with almost none of those ingredients before starting avoiding fiber-removed foods. Now I'm amazed at how sweet and juicy vegetables and fruit are.

Breakfast was oats, apple, chia seeds, nuts, apple, water.

Lunch was leftover stew made of: split pea, onion, cabbage, jalapeno, kohlrabi, a beet, water, nutritional yeast, carnival squash, salt.

Snack was a vegetable salad of kohlrabi, onion, apple, vinegar, nuts, salt, pepper.

Another snack was a persimmon and an apple.




Against the dimensions of Potency, Frequency, and Volume, where would you place your farts?

I will accept absolute values, or a vector relative to your pre-no-fiber-removed-diet days.


There was a month or two of being bloated, then things went back to before.

My hunch is my gut had to adjust, or maybe the bacteria in it. I think problems people have is with the transition between eating habits, not the final situation.


I noticed you did not include any meat in your description. Do you find health reasons to avoid it for you or are you vegan?


I haven't eaten meat since 1990. I don't completely rule out non-meat animal products. I have something like 100 grams of cheese per year.

Health is a side effect for my eating habits. Deliciousness is by far the biggest reason, followed by convenience, lower cost, getting to eat more, less pollution, and health.

I just love eating delicious foods. I've come to find taking out the fiber leaves things too sweet. Fruit became incredibly sweet after I got used to it and I love eating it. Now vegetables are tasting sweet. I didn't intend or expect to experience this change in tastes, but I'm glad it did.


I've never been able to only eat one persimmon, alas.
