> Were I processing my solid waste for the garden (with soldier fly larvae or heat, etc) we'd have some decent, though costly, humanure (I do use my urine for the compost pile).

Love this <3, great idea. Are you taking any meds that might change the compost in some way? I used to take Amphetamines for/against my ADHD for a while and the urine did indeed have a negative impact on the soil! As well as too much vitamin B for too long. The soild "burned"/killed the seeds.

I'm not asking because of climate change, actually, even though it is indeed a relevant reason. I'm asking because there seem to be peculiar connections between functioning/high functioning people and over-eating and rationality vs rationalization, which some former acquaintances are keen on investigating scientifically.

agreed. it's crazy. but 3000 cal a day is incredibly easy if one simply does not care.

Am I correct in assuming that eating carbs like rice does not amplify your hunger 90 minutes to 2 or 3 hours later?

Highly recommend to be radically honest and natural about everything. Every time you get a piece of info about yourself aka natural feedback will immediately enlighten you and help you expand your perspective and move forward.

It's a bit counter-intuitive because so many of us are taught to hold thoughts, words and actions back, but once I stopped doing that, things started to improve massively.

I watched non-ADHD people attempt the same but none of them evolved (my sample is small, 40+ people, I don't have notes on all of them). So far, the only difference I could find, was ADHD-pattern-recognition + that weird ADHD-Naïvité <3

agreed. that realization is when I learned to distrust the lefties ( in Germany ) .... 10 years too late

Ask HN: Are YOU eating too much?

Have you calculated the amount of food you have to eat to get the required amount of nutrients while getting enough satisfaction out of the meals (in restaurants and so on ... )? Ridiculous question, I know.
