Who wants to come over for dinner? 😋

"It's boring on purpose" is how I'll be describing my life from now on

I would never "automate" my way of eating. Missing out on so many interesting new flavors, is not something I would consider a life goal. But it was interesting to see your point of view

Another way to reduce meal decision fatigue is to have about 30 meal ideas, each on a recipe card. Throw them into a box. Each week, draw 7 random cards. Those are your meals for the week.

I really love this idea of eating out once a week to explore delicious food while sticking to a minimal healthy meal for the rest of the week. It's sort of restrictive but also exciting knowing that you'd be 'rewarded' at the end of the week. Or even if you don't go out, you can always spare one day or one meal each week to actually put in the effort to make something different at home. So even though it might exceed your caloric limitations, it will be healthier compared to the outside 'junk food'.

I respectfully disagree with the video. From my understanding, it is healthier to have a variety of foods in your diet. Even better to eat the seasonal foods available locally. No minimalism in (variety of) food for me:)

I actually do something similar! I have about 3 different options for breakfast and 5 options for lunch & dinner I rotate through. It's really convenient because it provides the variety I want while maintaining familiarity. I know that what I am eating is nutirtious. I know how to prepare it within a reasonable amount of time. I know exactly where to find it at my grocery store. I don't think I can get to the level of the same meal every day, but I'm glad I've found a system that I enjoy and fuels my body well. & I don't need to meal prep which is amazing for me lol

Cooking is an artistic expression, challenging, rewarding, fun, loving, caring, exciting, and so much more. It's okay that you're bad at it/don't like to spend time doing it, but I couldn't imagine life without the joy of food and cooking

I think this is fine because it works for you. And yes you're meeting protein needs and your macros and you seem to be doing okay so I'm glad. But I do just want to add that while macronutrients are super important to maintain your weight and increase muscle, micronutrients are also extremely important for your health. And variety in diet so that you maximise the different kinds of micronutrients has beneficial effects for your health. That being said, I feel like this was your response to the very LA kind of life where everyone is constantly doing everything and liking topping one another. Most normal people have a good few meals that they rotate between, and they can easily swap one out for another or try something new occasionally. And everyone's bodies are different, so honestly, people can need different things. But I did want to stress that a little more variety and attention to micronutrients would probably help you be even healthier - for example, have another smoothie that you like (maybe with berries since it seems like you miss that a bit) and swap between the two. The decision fatigue is minimal but the variety is optimal. This is just my take on it though!

I eat the exact same breakfast and lunch every day for this exact reason. Use my dinner to play around and try new things. Absolutely love the simplicity it brings to my life.

I totally get the point and I think it"s a great idea to have a fixed schedule of what to eat. I just think there is one downside to this. For a healthy gut a wide variety of foods is might be the better option. So it might be helpful to pay attention to some variety and diversity. For example, to switch the vegetables. Vegetables also have a low impact on the macronutrients. Other than that, thanks a lot, Matt. Great video.

To remove/improve the decision fatigue, I usually decide what I am going to eat for the entire week on the Sunday before, and create a shopping list for everything needed. Then I go buy everything on Monday, and know what I am going to cook each day, or whether I am having leftovers. Feels less time consuming making all those decisions at once for the week instead of making it everyday.

I would be interested in a 30 days vegan video, especially one with this same format where you've found a few meals you don't get sick of to eat every day.

From a nurtrional stand-point this might not be the best idea. Our gut microbiome (ie our second brain) THRIVE on food diversity. The more diverse your diet, the more diverse your microbiota. These microbes play an essential role in maintaining your immune system, energy levels, cognition, mood etc. Clever Guts Diet by Dr. Michael Mosley explains this importance incredibly well and is worth checking out.

I would love to hear Nat’s unfiltered opinion on this… this would be a huge annoyance for me in a relationship. I love experimenting in the kitchen and sharing meals with my partner. Appears to work for y’all though so not sure why I feel bad for Nat lmfao

I really love the "I wear the same clothes everyday" lifestyle, in fact, I've been doing that for the past year, just cause I bought a bunch of the same shirts that make me happy.

I literally do this! Minimalism has changed my life, and letting that extend to my meals is even more so. I'm single and work full time and have goals I want to achieve at the gym. I figured out what proteins, carbs and fats I needed, learned a few delicious recipes in my favorite cuisine, and I make a big batch on Sundays, and I never have to give a thought to food the rest of the week

You do you. I was waiting for the "just kidding" but it never came. Food is a passion, an experience to share with others, to enjoy and a very joyful part of living; socialy or for oneself. I'm glad you aren't doing it TOO literally, as eating the same meal every day looks like a hell I don't wanna be into

I can appreciate someone else who does this. My dinners are different, but breakfast & lunch are the same. Yes, please do 30 days of eating vegan! I’m curious to see if you feel different & what foods you choose ✌🏼🌱

The thing about expanding what you can cook is that the knowledge builds on top of itself. Yes, it takes time to learn new recipes, but after a while, I've found that my mastering of some core techniques makes it SO much easier to quickly pull off good and varied meals.

Yes, minimalism is also good for reducing anxiety. I like to do "Sunday dinner" every once in a while, or try something new if it really piques my interest. Other than that - keep it simple.

Eating the same thing everyday is actually really, really helpful for me. The ONLY time I diverge is when filming. Breakfast is almost always a bagel, eggs, kimchi

Question: when eating basically the same meals every day, how do you make sure that you do get enough nutriens, vitamines and minerals that aren't necessarily found in the things you eat?

I feel the same pressure from others but when I eat the same I feel more energized, less stressed and procrastinate less because it's such a struggle to me. I aren't fan of food, I just want enough to live, so thanks for normalizing this with hood reasons for why it's good 😊

I think part of minimalism is minimizing the things you don't care about in life to make room for what you do. So for instance I would never do this cause food is one of my deepest passions. But I absolutely do stand by wearing the same clothes everyday because I don't care about fashion, and using the same couple furniture pieces from IKEA cause they work and I don't care about interior design. Maybe someone elses hobby is sewing and making really elaborate outfits. Or woodworking. Thats all great. Where I think our culture of materialism and maximalism becomes problematic is when people are just buying mass produced massive wardrobes, eating out all the time without thinking about it, and buying a million items for their house they barely use. Then it isn't about investing in an aspect of life its just the philosophy more is better which just isn't true. More isn't helpful if you don't appreciate it.

Omg yes please on the vegan for 30 days. Im very interested in doing it, and you showing what you ate, what you learned, and how to get all the nutrients you need from it would really help me.

1:50 "I don't get a ton of joy out of cooking" That's a huge part of it, I think, for everyone. I love cooking, especially baking. Matt, what about meal prep sunday, aka, bulk meal prepping? You kind of do it a little. What about meal prepping for a month?

As someone who has struggled with my weight and relationship with food all my life, went through many periods of losing and gaining weight, is an emotional eater etc. doing this is extremely helpful.

i juess i beacame addicted to your channel , not only because of the value you present ,but only i learn english

Would love to see you going vegan for 30 days. Tried it myself. Would be fun to see what you think about it

While I used to live like this and completely relate to being completely content with it, I now feel like the reasons about "living on autopilot" and "less decisions" are a good reason NOT to do this. Personally, I've lived with crippling decision making abilities and that's something I've been consciously working on for a while. Turns out, decision making is a skill and by taking away food choices to remove decisions, it's taking away the opportunity to practice that skill - one which I've found to be incredibly powerful. As far as living on autopilot, that can certainly be beneficial for many things. It also sounds like the opposite of fun and adventure in many ways. "Living life on autopilot in as many ways as possible" sounds like "removing as much fun, adventure, and discomfort out of life." Life is supposed to be fun. Picking even just one new meal a MONTH to cook that could then be added into the regular weekly lineup to shake it up even just a little bit would take very little time and would add just enough of a little change every week to make life a little more exciting. Living like this seems like it would just lead to becoming that old person that gets stuck in their ways and that gets anxiety whenever they get taken out of their routine. This would, however, be quite useful in giving veganism a try. I went Vegan about 9 months ago and since it was so new and I had no idea what to eat, I started off with just a few meals that I could repeat and then have just continued to add in a little more variety as I go along. Would love to see a 30 day vegan challenge :)

The "work" pays off in living a richer life dude, like listening to more than one song and watching more than one movie, you can balance convenient consistency sometimes and other times living more of the life you've been given, you have enough life to benefit from all these different behaviors

Hey Matt, I love this concept! I adopted it a while ago but with a few LARGE key changes. 1. I eat the same 3 meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day for a MONTH. It takes maybe a day or 2 to meal plan for the next month and provides seasonal variations and keeps me from getting bored. 2. I eat out once a week. Sometimes for lunch, sometimes dinner. The table is just such a wonderful place to socialize with friends and it gives me inspiration for my next meals! Maybe people who like Matt’s idea but don’t quite want to commit all the way can follow my strategy :)

Definitely do 30 days plant based. Vegan isn’t quite the right label as that speaks more to a person who is plant based but has a specific philosophical stand point on animals.

0:36 omg, thinking about what to eat is one of the joys in my life - I'd be so sad not to have such options. Learning new recipes and getting better at cooking is rewarding too, and I've also found prepping and chopping ingredients help relieve stress. ... just amazed by this video overall, but I guess everyone is different.

I ate the same breakfast, the same lunch and the same dinner every day for four months for fitness and health reasons,,,,, 203 lbs to 168 lbs. I hated counting and monitoring macros so I made the decision to take the guesswork out of the whole nutrition process. Best decision I ever made!

I come from a bodybuilding background. In my experience, some of the healthiest people I know pretty much eat the same 2-3 meals a day. I think one of the biggest advantages to eating this way is cooking in bulke. You have what you need when you need it. You're less likely to reach for something fast and unhealthy.

This is exactly what I've been doing for the past 3 weeks in order to lose weight. Having too much variety was making it waaay harder to have self control. I've already lost 3 kg and it's been the easiest weight loss experience I've ever had.

Love this! I'm vegan, and have autism. I have 5 meals I rotate, that include lots of different nutrients. I'm very happy eating the same things. If I feel like it, I might try something different, but that's rare, because I absolutely love the meals I have chosen to repeat. And grocery shopping is a breeze! Thank you for helping normalize what most people think is kinda weird. Also, as a side note, I like that food is for energy, not entertainment.

Looking forward to the 30 day Vegan challenge video. Here are a couple of recipes that might help you hopefully sustain the plant based diet. I have been vegan for 3 years now, and like you I was also constantly thinking about my protein for building muscle. But from experience I can tell you that a vegan diet if done right has a lot of protein automatically as we try to follow a whole food plant based diet. Also I have learned that our gut in general needs variety of plants and fruits to keep it happy. Here is one recipe that I follow daily to get a meal with all nutrients. This can be a daily meal similar to what you have: Roasted Chickpeas Salad Bowl: Part 1: Roasted Chickepas - preheat oven to 400F - Drain a can of chickpeas, - Dry it out using a cloth/paper towel - In a bowl toss the chickpeas with 1 tsp paprika, .5 tsp garlic powder, .25 to .5 tsp salt, drizzle oil of choice - Spread the chickpeas onto a baking sheet and put it in the oven for around 18 to 25 minutes depending on how roasted you like it Part 2: While the chickpeas are being roasted, make the dressing in the same bowl used for the chickpeas: - 2 tbsp Vegan yogurt (plain) - 1 tbsp tahini - Salt and pepper to taste - Lemon to taste (1tsp should be good), I don't add lemon to my dressing as I like it better that way - 1 tsp dill weed - Can add some paprika, onion powder and garlic powder to taste - drizzle water based on how thick/thin you want the dressing to be - you can add 1 tsp nutritional yeast to add some cheesiness to the dressing Once the chickpeas and dressing is ready, in a bowl just toss a romaine mix with some of the dressing, then use a salad bowl to add a layer of the romaine mix, some rice, chickpeas on top and drizzle as much of the dressing on top. Note: you can add some chopped nuts and also roasted sweet potatoes to make it even more nutritious,. Another recipe we love is: rainbowplantlife.com/eggy-tofu-scramble/ You can also check out Simnett Nutrition: kzfaq.info (he is a vegan fitness vlogger and shares a lot of healthy recipes)

this perspective emphasizes boosting productivity through automation and quite literally discounts the “spice of life”, the pleasure mine gets from spontaneity & variety. interesting perspective but also sounds like it would be depressing for most

Would suggest vegan for 60. 30 is right when you start feeling good.

When I lived with parents we pretty much ate same things everyday and food was blunt. But every meal at a restaurant or friends house, or festive food was feeling like I have heaven in my mouth. When I started living alone I was cooking many different things and eating out a lot, so now my taste buds can't experience the heaven in mouth unless I start eating blunt food for like two months

I can’t be the only one who would rather lose a limb than be stuck doing this for the rest of my life…food is such an incredible part of life! Cooking, eating, sharing, it’s such a valuable part of my human experience, I just don’t understand how he doesn’t feel like he is missing out.

I eat the exact same thing day in and day out Overnight Oats with Blueberries Lean Protein usually Chicken or Fish, Veggies (California Blend or StirFry) and Rice Burrito Bowl with lean ground turkey Sugar Free Fudge Popsicles Why? Because I know exactly the amount of calories and macros I Prep 4-5 days at a time I only go to the grocery store once a month I know exactly what my bill will be every time It breaks down to close to $30 a week I've lost over 100lbs and continue to maintain that I dont have to worry about coming up with anything Once a week I cook a different meal because I enjoy cooking but for the most part dont have the time I eat out maybe 2-3 times a month and that allows me variety Next step is buying the same shirt in different colors because man do I hate looking for something to wear.

I would love to see what you eat every day as a vegan. I've been plant-based for about 6 years now, and I would love to see what your minimalist meal prep would look like.

Dude can’t wait to see how all these things pan out when you have kids. Not saying it’ll screw everything up but it’ll be interesting to see how you adapt and alter stuff

Not gonna lie, but this life would be absolutely horrible for me. But to each their own i guess

I'd love to see a video about a month of vegan food! Also, my breakfasts are pretty standardized at this point. I make an oat milk latte and eat some kind of homemade gluten free vegan muffin with berries and nut butter (usually peanut butter or almond butter, but pistachio butter is my favorite if I want to spend the cash). That basic breakfast has helped me streamline my mornings a lot, and it frees up some brain space. Since I have some food sensitivities and have to cook all of my own food at this point, having some go-to's that I like and are easy is a way that I can manage my sanity with my dietary restrictions.

I literally thought, "I wonder if Matt would try going vegan for 30 days?" and then that's exactly what you said you were thinking of trying. Please please try it!

You should look into an immersion circulator also known as a sous vide! This would be PERFECT for batch cooking protein and then you can throw it in the fridge. Then when you wanna eat you just need to sear it to reheat and your good to go! As a food content creator, what I eat is the ultimate struggle. This video was a reminder to keep it simple on the days I’m not “working” and stick to the basics to not only avoid get burnt out, but also keep the calories in check. Thanks Matt! Aloha!

I dont eat the same thing everyday but I have 3 to 4 meals on repeat. Breakfast is either a skyr bowl with applesauce and slithered almonds or oatmeal with cooked apple and cinnamon, toast with nut butter and banana. Lunch is either a vegetarian chili, pasta salad or sushi. Dinner is usually some type of fish with some kind of green vegetable and sweet potato 😊

Thank you for the video. I agree with your approach. Though I eat different foods than you (but share the same high protein focus) eating the same thing makes life so much easier. I heard another KZfaqr (Brix Fitness) say that eating healthy is not difficult, it is boring; so embrace the boring aspect and appreciate how it frees your mind to focus on other things, like the wording on a KZfaq comment.

I could wear the same clothes every day but cooking is my hobby and creative outlet. We do have about 8-10 basic meals on auto but I really enjoy relaxing and having fun in the kitchen. Clothes aren’t it for me but they are for some people. I think the take home is to identify the areas you can put on auto - they will differ for different people.

I would love to see a video about your journey of veganisme in a month. Would be so enjoyable for me because my sister is vegan and I'm considering going vegan as well. It would be great to get some insight on what it's like being vegan for a month. And maybe hearing about the benefints it has and also the drawbacks you stumble across along the journey.

Gosh, finally someone who eats like me. I do not mind eating the same stuff all the time. My food works for me, it is healthy and I’m in the best shape of my life. ❤️

Eggs Milk Rice&chicken Water and dates Mangos and apples

As a vegan, I believe the "correct" on-repeat meal is roasted broccoli, mixed beans, brown rice, cashew-sunflower seed sauce with nutritional yeast, and a piece of fruit? I built a repeatable plate once, but I'm basing this on memory.

2:51 go vegan Matt! I don’t eat the same thing every day, BUT I am a lazy cooker like yourself. There’s a channel called Cheap Lazy Vegan (perfect for me lol) and she gives a ton of easy vegan recipes that are flavorful, don’t hurt your wallet, or take too long to make, which is what intimidates most people about veganism

LOVED the VDO! The last 2 mins of ur VDO made the whole "I eat the same thing everyday" sustainable for me. For those of you who didn't watch till the end, It's because it isn't really the same thing every single day for 365 days. I'll be following Matt's strategy from now on too!

Definitely try going vegan for 30 days! You will crave foods initially, but after a week or two it becomes easy and an auto-pilot decision as with your meal habits now. Not to mention the benefits to health, animals and the environment :)

I highly disagree with this routine. It's not only about eating the same foods over again and again. In my culture, meals are a time for bonding over food and the cooking process of different dishes is included.

My meals i eat every day for years now: Breakfast: 2 eggs over medium Geek yogurt w/ granola Protein shake Coffee coffee coffee Lunch: Tuna packet Protein shake Grilled chicken w/ peas carrots and corn Dinner: Whatever my wife makes. If she isn't cooking we eat a protein, a veggie, and a fruit for desert. On special occasions i add brown rice.

Okay......as a Sicilian girl this goes against every thing I love. I love to cook. I love too look at cooking books. Cooking shows.....it endless. I give you so much credit for you're discipline. I know you're Italian so what do you do the during holiday season??? No "feast of seven fishes?"

Dude, eating the same meal every day is literally my nightmare 😅 Are you not getting tired of the same flavors over and over, even with changing 20% of it?

For me, being able to share a meal together with my friends, family, or my SO is one of the most fundamental aspects of sharing a relationship. That may sound weird, but food is so engrained into cultures all over the world, and for a good reason: it brings joy to people (or it may also just very well be that it is one of our primary needs hehe). But perhaps that feeling does not have to be coupled to eating the same food while having a meal together. While I do agree that automating food to a certain extent can introduce huge benefits to your life, such as eating more healthy and eating more conscious in general, I can't seem to shake the feeling that Matt is taking it to an extreme. To me, there exists a perfect middle ground between eating the same thing or cooking up something complex everyday, namely expanding your arsenal of go-to recipes: by creating your own collection of recipes that work for you (nutrient/efficiency/complexity-wise), you allow yourself the freedom of eating whatever you feel like, whilst also adhering to your own constraints. Cooking is a skill, and overtime you will create efficiency, intuition, and most likely the ability to enjoy it. Not to mention that it opens up so many doors with regards to sharing that meal with someone else. But that's just my take on it.

I'm on the different meal schedule with my boyfriend as well. I thought we only one, I''m glad it is kind of normal. And if Matt does it we can do it too.

For the sake of the gut health, 30 different plants/foods a week might be the key. I do 'same' (routine, workout, clothes) things... but I eat meals DIFFERENTLY for my gut microbiome. Btw, Australia is one of the major countries having quality studies on gut health.

You should definitly go and be vegan for 30 days :) But if you do, do it seriously. Do not simply eat unseasoned tofu or stuff like that. I would love to see you trying to be vegan for 30 days. :)

It’s an interesting concept but I’m quite concerned about the environnemental impact and surprised nobody has commented on it. Eating the same food (i.e. without eating seasonally) with meat twice a day, even if it’s organic, etc. still has a huge impact on the environment. Reducing meat consumption is one of the most effective way to reduce our carbon footprint. I’m not vegan but I definitely try to reduce the amount of meat & fish I eat (currently down to 1-4 meals with meat or fish per week, with at least 1 meal per day including proteins (eggs, etc)). I would definitely try this but with a different meal structure for lunch (including proteins) vs dinner (excluding proteins) and considering product seasonality.

This is exactly how I like to live! I have minimal clothes, eat the same breakfast, lunch and dinner every single day. It’s always nice to , once a week, treat myself to a nice meal inside or outside the house. It makes me appreciate all the little things so much more! I think there’s too much food choice out there. Keep it simple !

Love this video! The videography is on point aswell 🤝🏼

I'd love to see you try a vegan diet for at least 30 days! Make sure to not simply go for substitute products though, but to cook with fresh ingredients from scratch. "Yeung man cooking" and "pick up limes" are some awesome cooking channels for even more awesome food.

You Matt, are the cover face for "eating to live and not living to eat". My dad had that as his motto and lived and was mighty healthy until he died at a very mature age. He lived way longer than most people. Do you, boo!

Having a boring and repetitive diet is the key to losing weight and staying in shape. Makes calorie counting, super easy. A game changer.

I really love your style man. It's just over calming.

you should totally do the vegan for 30 days challenge - after going vegan the recipe base was still overwhelming, but it brought on a love for cooking and finding a sense of creativity for me ! I'm also curious if you would still do the same meals or explore new recipes/ingredients in your challenge !

Most people will notice a "void" or "boredom" in their days when they first try this, and that just highlights how much we're on autopilot in terms of using food as a stimuli - as entertainment. It's a good exercise to show you how much mental bandwidth you're not using everyday. That's where people feel they "free up time" doing this - it's what they're focusing on.

Am I the only one that really likes making decisions? It’s somehow empowering to know that you have so many choices every day

Imagine Matt actually doing a food blog, and it's just the same meals every day.

When I was living with my parents, the worst question was "what are we going to eat?". Thinking of what to eat was taking so much effort. And all of us are eat to live, not live to eat types. Now, when I live alone, I have a few main dishes I rotate in a week and it's more or less the same dish every Monday, Tuesday etc. Not having to think about what to eat is a blessing. But recently it really got repetitive, so I started to experiment just once in a while.

✨❤️”Boring on purpose” is very underrated! I’ve eaten the same basic breakfast and lunch for months at a time, then dinner is the only meal I have to think about….way less stress and thinking about food. I have a list of dinners I love, pick from that list to plan my week and shopping order….perfect!❤

For the production from the raw state to the processed state WATER consumption for the following products is as follows: 1 cup of coffee: 132 litres 1 kg beef: 15,000 litres 1 pair of jeans: 11,000 litres (organic denim will need lesser) So Mr. Minimalist, You got to take action and swap beef for lentils perhaps?! :)

I'd love to see you do a 30 day veganism challenge personally. Super easy to meal prep, and with the right recipes the meals don't need to be any harder or any less tasty than the stuff you seem to be on eating on the daily now. Anyway, great video as always. Keep up the great work, I've always been a big fan of your film-making/video-making style!

Doing the same boring things will create an extraordinary life. On the other hand, I strongly believe that we must try out new things sometimes, because that's the only way to grow and gain new experience. It's always inspiring how far can people go if they stick to their healthy routines - thanks for the video! :)

I think this is normal and it makes sense. You still have food variation at least twice a week. My grandma basically meal planned and just rotated her recipes. My aunt did the same thing. My mom usually made chicken/porkchops/shrimp, rice/noodle/bread, and veggies. I can only cook with an instapot so it's a variation of stew or soup. My daily breakfast varies each week.

I'm the same! I've got a few different meals I like to rotate between but most days I have a chicken wrap for lunch. The wrap has chicken and rice that I cook every week, avocado, beans and spring mix. If you cook the chicken well and add nice seasoning to it, it still tastes so good by the time we get to Friday.

you should watch the game changer, seasparcy and the sicily episode of zac efron around the world to find out, how bad daily meat and fish consumption is bad for your body and the enviroment. Also in western society we eat to much protein. I mean this comment for got :) i hope your start simply adding more vegetarien und vegan recipies in your weekly cooking! Great video though!

yes do a vid of you being vegan for 30 days

I do exactly the same! Only during weekends I treat myself once or twice, the rest of the week I eat just to feed myself, not to enjoy the meals or something. I think the same, Deciding what to cook and grocery shopping accordingly is quite time consuming (and money if you take into account all the food you end up wasting).

This is next level minimalism. I am not a foodie but I can't have the same food for 3 days straight. May be repeating some dishes over the week will work. Besides it is best to eat fruits and vegetables as per season. It decreases dependency on supplements.

first, you should change your workouts tho, same workout everyday for 10 years is not optimal. Try breaking your training into 6 week blocks, and change your accessories every block. It allows for more progressive overload by variations in muscle fibre emphasis.

The wise stay financial stable by spending less and investing more and the unwise remains poor by spending more and yet not investing like the wise ones do.

I'm learning a lot from both you and Gabe Bult about how great a boring life can be. I have been trying to eat better and workout more but with that I noticed my eating habits were getting boring. I assumed this was a bad thing because "variety is the spice of life" and all that. It's nice to know that one of the people I look up to thinks the same way.

I have had almost the exact same salad lunch every day for almost a year. I don’t eat breakfast because I do intermittent fasting. I also have six pairs of black leggings, six pairs of black shorts and a pair of black sneakers. I have lots of different band shirts, but I wear them interchangeably. The seven on top of the pile in my dresser drawer are the next seven I am wearing. Little things like this have made my life run so much more smoothly. I love cooking dinner for my family so I do that Monday through Friday. Shopping has been simplified because I do it online and I do not wander around the grocery store. I have all my ingredients for the week listed from recipes and aside from a few incidentals that’s all I buy online. I meditate first thing in the morning and do the same yoga routine seven days a week. I don’t have to wonder if I should do those things, how I should do them or when I should do them either. These few changes have made my life so much more easy in so many ways.

Sameeeee. Eating the same thing everyday makes life more simple, helps you to make faster decisions, and get things done faster and efficiently! Love this video!! I couldn’t agree with you more! 👏🏼👌🏼

I'd love to see a repeatable minimalist vegan daily meal plan, minimal cognitive effort! I've been going back and forth and getting lost researching this, definitely not a gift of mine. First time I'm meeting you (hey!) and look forward to more, thanks

My motto for life now, rather than "it's boring on purpose," is "it doesn't have to be perfect" Just writing it out like that comforts me. I need no acknowledgement.

Yes, I want to see you go vegan for 30 days! I’ve been vegan for 5 years and I feel so much better. Last summer when many of my family converted over to keto, I thought I would give it a try. I felt exhausted and went back to my vegan lifestyle after a month. Do your research and eat plenty.
