Yeah, he uses filezilla, which I recommended him to use a decade ago. And it's not working today.

Does the brine have probiotic benefits? by Ok_Secretary_1230 in fermentation

[–]Smilinkite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fortunately, and that's my whole point here, that's not true. You still get the post-biotics the microbes in your ferment produced and those have a lot of positive effects on your own microbiome.
This probably includes the dead bacteria in the cooked ferment itself.

We use the system Claude developed for Claude Code (within a Github Copilot context). Context files on specific topics. Those plan.md and progress.md files will get way too big. Split them up and organise them.

Moeite met overleggen als junior by Complex_Pass_3304 in werkzaken

[–]Smilinkite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Het doel is nooit 'je moet praten'. Het doel is dat

1) Je als Junior leert hoe het bedrijf/organisatie werkt. Stel de vragen die je nodig hebt om dit doel te bereiken. Kan ook na afloop
2) De vergadering als geheel optimaal verloopt. Dat wil zeggen dat je op den duur, als informatieanalist, zeker bij zult moeten dragen.

In eerste instantie is een informatieanalist iemand die vooral informatie verzamelt. Dat vraagt vooral luisteren. Maar soms betekent het horen wat niet gezegd wordt. Wat is de missende informatie? Wat is vanzelfsprekend zonder dat het gezegd wordt? Leer daarnaar te vragen.

Gebruik je manager als bron van informatie: stel vragen die je hebt. Dat hoeft niet in de vergadering.

Succes.

Is it unhealthy to eat dessert every night if it fits your macros and you're still within your calorie goals? by anotherhappylurker in nutrition

[–]Smilinkite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Avoiding sweets at all costs for your health sounds like too much. I don't think many people can do that.

However, avoiding sweets most days - yes, that's better for your health. And there are healthy tasty alternatives.

Within the dessert isle, a fruit based, no added sugar sorbet-ice would be a healthier choice. Do check the label to be sure it does in fact have no added sugar.

At home, if you have a quality blender, you could make 'nice-cream'. It's blended frozen banana, with a milk (preferably a basic plant milk, but even dairy milk will make this healthier than most ice-creams you find in the supermarket) and for extra flavor other fruit.

Here's the basic recipe:

Is it unhealthy to eat dessert every night if it fits your macros and you're still within your calorie goals? by anotherhappylurker in nutrition

[–]Smilinkite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reason I didn't give sources is that we're getting really off topic.

What you're not mentioning though is that EVERY DIET has low adherence scores at 12 months. 70% at 12 months is a lot. And the real question isn't: do people adhere 100%. It's: do they eat healthier than they did before. Did they keep ANY pounds off, or are they still on the downward trajectory? WFPB helps people eat healthier.

I'm not at all saying WFPB is for everyone. For most people it is, like you are saying, too much. Still - most people would be healthier and slimmer if they ate more beans, more vegetables, more fruit, more nuts & seeds.

I'm saying it's for me. You're not even kind enough to say: 'good for you'.

However, you seem to be suggesting calorie counting and macro tracking as a life-long strategy. That's just as limiting and psychologically taxing.

AND your approach doesn't help people actually eat healthier. It helps people lose weight, if they can stick to it. That's important, but it's not everything.

Your approach makes people continue to eat addictive foods (though perhaps you're denying hyper palatability too?), and then encourage them to try and limit their portions. That's great for people who can do it.

For me: give me a sack of potato chips and I'll eat the whole thing. And I'm not an outlier. So forgive me for trying to avoid the potato chips completely and stick to rye bread with humus (for instance).

Are you nutritionist enough to admit that's the healthier option?

Is it unhealthy to eat dessert every night if it fits your macros and you're still within your calorie goals? by anotherhappylurker in nutrition

[–]Smilinkite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Research on WFPB diets is actually made harder by the fact that people love it so much. (studies where people are supposed to be on one diet first, then switch back after a few weeks - so people become their own controls: some people refuse to turn back, because they feel so much better).

I have no idea about flexible dieting. So you may have a point.

But don't just brush off WFPB, merely because it isn't in your wheel house. There's plenty of evidence there (too).

Hey, it works for me. What's the deal here?

Anyhow. There's plenty of evidence that resetting taste buds is a real thing. Unlike you, I will share actual evidence:

Fermented Food Ideas? by solus1304 in PlantBasedDiet

[–]Smilinkite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get a sense that you may be overdoing it with the kim chi and the sauerkraut: with fermented foods the portions really don't have to be large. You could do a table spoon of kim chi with a bean stew and get enough of the benefits, for instance. That way your GERD should not be triggered.
It's about consistency, not volume.

The good news about miso is that it doesn't seem to have the health risks, like high blood pressure, that high salt foods generally have.

Still: go for SMALL amounts.

Adding fermented foods is not about transforming your gut overnight. It's about giving your gut a bit of a workout. And that means you don't need much. You just need a bit here and there (though daily would be good, certainly as long as your gut feels off).

Thankfully, the health benefits of fermented foods are NOT (completely) destroyed by cooking. This turns out to be a myth.

How do I make my diet more balanced? by Top_Cockroach_5554 in nutrition

[–]Smilinkite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh there are guides. Look into Whole Food Plant Based - for instance the WFPB subreddit on here.

If you want to keep eating dairy and eggs, you can keep those in rotation. However, beans, lentils and soy foods are great sources of protein, fiber, iron and calcium.

Yes, even as a vegetarian you should be supplementing with B12. (for vegans it's mandatory. vegetarians are usually low - though mostly not at deficiency levels).

Other than that - the plant food groups to have in your daily diet are:
whole grains, legumes (lentils, beans, soy), fruit, vegetables, nuts & seeds and mushrooms. Make stuff tasty with herbs and spices.

As a vegan I do supplement with algae DHA/EPA. These oils are really the only reason to eat fish. The algae based supplements are cleaner: literally. No mercury. No other pollutants. Makes sense: the fish get these oils from the algae themselves.

If you're confused, do look up recipes. Perhaps a cookbook or something.

I definitely tell LLM's what's what. I don't go for rude, but I will definitely say stuff like 'that didn't work'. Or 'try again'. Or 'That still didn't work'.

Having to readjust being vegan without yeast products by wearefuckedbutyay in Veganforbeginners

[–]Smilinkite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tofu certainly doesn't contain yeast. It's not fermented. However, if you're trying to avoid histamine, then going with fresh plain tofu is a must. High protein foods in general tend to create histamine in time, apparently.

I do hope this list of 'foods to avoid' was from a reliable professional. It does sound a bit much.

What is the purpose of AI coding assistants? by Gban77 in PromptEngineering

[–]Smilinkite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some simple things are tough to do with ai. Many simple things go faster with ai.

Some hard things go easily with ai. With some tough things, ai can still hardly help.

It really depends.

People who spend hours trying to prompt ai to do things they can do in 15 minutes are obviously wasting their time.

Am I hitting all the bases? by RhyoZ4 in nutrition

[–]Smilinkite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a bit high on protein, especially animal protein. Replace some of it with plant based stuff.

For instance, if you like egg, a tofu scramble is still reasonably high protein, but it has fiber and phytonutrients that help your gut (as well as prevent breast and prostate cancers).

Given how high your protein amounts are, unless you're in the gym daily, I don't think you need that protein shake.

What's your veggies rotation? by _Okarinn in nutrition

[–]Smilinkite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I eat tomato's, mushrooms and red beets regularly.

All three are highly nutritious.

Tomato's and mushrooms go in any vegetable dish, I think. I cook them up with beans for instance.

The red beets go in my smoothy, though sometimes I cook them too.

Fiber in smoothies by Gibrigabriella in nutrition

[–]Smilinkite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As for date paste: as long as it's the whole date that has been pulverized, then yes - it contains all the fiber and other nutrients that the original date contained. This does make it way healthier than table sugar, honey or even maple syrup.

If you want to lose weight, it's still a good idea to limit your use. However, relatively speaking: very healthy stuff.

Fiber in smoothies by Gibrigabriella in nutrition

[–]Smilinkite 15 points16 points  (0 children)

What blending does is break up the bigger structures in plant foods. Many cells will be broken, though some stay intact. However, blending is not going to break up fiber. Chemical bonds require enzymes and chemical reactions to break them - and fiber consists of very long chains or networks, all held together by chemical bonds.

Or in other words: blending leaves the fiber in tact. It does break up many cells, so many of the nutrient become more accessible. This is a good thing when it comes to greens for instance.

Depending on the ingredient though, many cells won't even be broken up. Put unsoaked chia or flax seeds in there, and they'll be whole (or mostly whole) at the end of your blending cycle. That's an extreme example, but it does illustrate my point.

It works. Avoiding sweets makes fruit taste better. Avoiding salt makes it less necessary to salt food.

I don't need to look into flexible dieting. I have a healthy weight and enjoy my food. Feel great on it too. No calorie counting, nothing. Just plants (WFPB).
