What do you always try to avoid?

[7Phoenix7]

Processed 🍔

You can get creative and say whatever it is that you avoid... I've been trying to avoid processed foods...

[HawkPerception]

Shellfish. Never looked appetizing to me. They look like big ass insects. And shrimp are literally the cockroaches of the ocean. Clams and oysters look slimy and nasty. And yes I've tried shrimp and calamari. Not a fan.

Chocolate too. Weird thing is I like chocolate milk, hot chocolate, and the 2 bite brownies and soft chocolate chip cookies. But not chocolate bars, chocolate cake, or chocolate ice cream.

Ah and insects. I'll never eat em. And I'd probably go without eating them until I'm literally dying. Then who knows... I might go into survival instinct mode and just do it.

[7Phoenix7]

I just had this conversation with my cousin today! Why do shrimp look like cockroaches?



I feel the same about chocolate. Im not a fan... but i can eat a fresh baked chocolate chip cookie... or chocolate covered strawberries.

And as far as insects... I have a mini panic attack if I see one crawling on me. There's no way im ever eating one lol

[WhiteSteve]

Traffic. I’ll take an extra 15-20 minutes taking local roads just to avoid it. I’d rather maybe take a little longer getting somewhere than be in stop-and-go traffic. I am a MASTER of back roads. I live in a tourist town that’s tough to get around in during vacation season, so I’ve figured out every way to avoid main roads unless absolutely necessary.

[7Phoenix7]

You remind me of a friend big time lol. Master of back roads and all hahaha.

Do you get road rage?

[WhiteSteve]

Life is too short to be burning out my brake lights, haha

Road rage…. kinda. Not really on my own. Traffic frustrates me but I’m not like pounding the steering wheel or anything. And it’s been a while, but I’d say two of my biggest triggers are egregious disrespect and “getting mad at me.” I never instigate it, but if anyone instigates it with me, we might have a problem. At that point, I’m now cancelling my plans and I’m going where YOU’RE going, and you’d better hope you have more gas than me, lmfao. I don’t allow people to just flip me the bird and then just drive away unaccountable. Don’t flip me off unless you’re gonna pull over and answer for it physically. Nobody cuts me off to get through a doorway on foot, nobody gives me the finger and tells me to go fuck myself because I was walking too slowly when we’re on foot….. so don’t get hype on me as you’re blowing past me at 80 mph.

This may be the way I die, lmao, but I stand by it, I’m not wrong in principle😝 Don’t be any more ballsy with people behind the wheel than you would be on foot, bottom line.

The worst is when it’s a woman, then it takes all the wind out of my sails and I can’t bring myself to be threatening, and I just have to eat it. I don’t live like that😅😂

[7Phoenix7]

I knew it lmao I knew it

[WhiteSteve]

😮How dare y—…nooooo, that actually makes perfect sense that you’d assume that😅😂

[7Phoenix7]

When is your next hockey game? Loll

[WhiteSteve]

It was supposed to be tonight! Other team forfeited though😒 Got a game tomorrow night and Wednesday though👍👍

We were doing roll call for one of the games via text, the captain put a “🩵” reaction on everyone’s “in” response (that’s our team’s color), except mine. I got a “💪” on mine, and I was so flattered😅🤣

[7Phoenix7]

Hahaha 😆... nice. I'd come to your game just to watch you. Would be entertaining

[WhiteSteve]

Oh, you’d love it. I’d be trying wicked hard to impress you, and I’d 10,000% comically bust my ass😂

[FreyaRed]

Foods which could be contaminated with Bisphenol A, tin cans as example. Foods with gigantic amount of message and phosphate like Kebab or some sausages like Vienna sausage from big meat concerns. Everything with corn fructose syrup and similar stuff. My mother had diabetes due pancreas cancer, after I have informed myself about this stuff I decided to avoid it and it's practically everywhere

[FreyaRed]

*message not message. XD

[FreyaRed]

* M. S. G. ... this freaking auto-correction on this side annoying

[Crimsyjo]

There's probably a lot of things I avoid! Foods I dislike. People I dislike. Heavy traffic times if I can. I'd like to avoid seeing my mum more but she needs me (she's narcissistic and draining but elderly now and I'm her only caregiver).

[Massageman]

Liver and onions. Fish.

Breaking my back or my leg.

[Sonorous]

I try to avoid sub-optimal intake ratios of many things diet related

Here are a few:
• Sodium to water ratios (sodium/10=oz of water to drink)
• Carb to sodium ratios (should never exceed 3lbs total in combined water weight)
• Insulin timing (for more immediate fat burning mode & reduction of facial bloat)
• Blood sugar management by staying within a certain glycemic load (helps with long-term health & facial bloat)
• Timing digestion of fats & protein for least insulin resistance (fats in grams *.2 & then add like 5-8hours for small intestine transit)
• Keeping my carb energy offset at a good spot (any lower than baseline of 155grams per day & my performance is hindered)
• Food intake in grams should Ideally never drop below 1.6-2lbs of food. Any less & satiety won't be as strong.

[7Phoenix7]

We gonna fight

[Sonorous]

🤣 why

[DJB72]

Plastics. I buy in glass or transfer to glass as soon as I get home. I can my own fresh fruit and veg when I can and do the same with jars of home cooked food at the start of each month. No waste. If I can't compost it I burn it in my furnace to make hot water or heat my home almost zero goes to landfill. I'm getting a crucible next year so I can melt aluminium cans and recycle other metals into useful stuff and sell the metals back.

There's no need for landfill if you know what you can do. Anything made with petrochemicals burns, just make sure you use closed combustion and a tall chimney. All metal and glass can be recycled infinitely. Glass can be sterilised very easily and if it breaks it's not so hard to melt and make something else with it.

[Iron_Man]

Most seafoods

like squid and octopus 🐙

[7Phoenix7]

Eww yuck

[7Phoenix7]

I need to put that guy in my pocket and keep him as a weapon lol

[OneViewpoint]

I try to avoid stupid, useless people who suck up my time like a vampire draining a victim.

[7Phoenix7]

Ugh yea

[dragoblack]

Too much carbohydrates, sugar, & salt, artificial sweeteners, stevia sweetener (natural, but make the body produce more insulin and expel all sodium. Great for diabetics, but can cause diabetes with prolonged use for non-diabetics. Source)

[7Phoenix7]

Oh wow, I didn't know that about stevia. Thank you

[dragoblack]

No problem. I had to look into alternative sweeteners at one point and I found the research papers about it. Only one i don't know anything about is monk fruit

[7Phoenix7]

Im glad I dont crave 'sweet'... what i do tend to crave is salt.

[MemeSupreme]

bad drivers like gtf away from me

THEY ARE A DISEASE TO OUR SOCIETY

[7Phoenix7]

[exitseven]

Food that is buried in some kind of sauce that is so gross you cannot even figure out what you are eating.

[andreasderjuengere]
