Perhaps part of it is because you view your food as bland and simple?
Possible, you/I attract what we feel and think right? (law of attraction)
Is there a medical reason for your food to be simple and bland?
No. I just only wanted it to be this way.
Easier to prepare (Microwaved)
Whole food, lesser effort to prepare, save time, save money, freezable and in a way (eating disorder thoughts) healthier/cleaner?
I only thought sometimes it is easier to digest. (Especially when i puree it with my blender)
I know it is kinda inspired from YouTube (Possible Health Fad) Whole Food, Plant Based Diet
Just because food is 'plant-based' doesn't require that it be either of these things - infact much of Indian food (where aruyvedic concepts come from) is plant-based as well. Maybe finding some more exciting plant-based options would help.
I saw quite a few of them, but they are more on the "spiceful", "heaty/hot" types.
Plus... I felt that it is not worth it to prepare... just for self.
If you (like many) were to recommend "meal prep" style like making a larger batch and can be lunch/dinner the next day... I duno if it is a good idea...
I hate doctor's message of eating balanced bowl, must be rotating dishes... cannot always eat the same food... poor nutrients..
Alternatively, perhaps your lacking some nutrients -- if you're eating plants-based, it's possible that you're low on B, which is difficult to get without animal products, and some people have difficulty absorbing regardless. I'd recommend that you go to your dr and have a blood panel done. Low levels of B12 can not only cause the kind of lethargy that you're describing, but also depression and other neurological issues like confusion and trouble concentrating.
I hope that helps and you start feeling better soon!
Actually I did a blood test for B12 and Iron and the result was back within recommended levels. Although that was during late Aug 2018.
I understand about your concern (as i saw about the possible deficiencies) for vegans/vegetarians/plant-based diet.
Been "cheating" my way through to get as much B12 as i can...
- Eggs (yea, yea... i know it is not plant-based)
- Marmite
- Tempeh
- Milo (very recent introduction, although i seriously hate the aftertaste, plus it is not plant/vegetarian/vegan friendly)
