Also be sure to visit my [Diet](/diet) page to see what sorts of food I frequent.
## Grains & Legumes
Rinsing and soaking these are very helpful for my digestion.
Since I'm a nomad and engage in dry camping (boondocking) I've had to find a way to do this while conserving water so that I can stay out longer.
As of April 2026 I've shortened it down to only using twice the amount of cooking water, rather than 3 times or more if using separate water for both the rinse and the soak.
Further reducing the water usage involves washing the meal's veggies in the soaked/rinsed water.
### Example
So, basically, if making 1 cup of rice with 2 zucchini:
**Rinse & Soak Stage**
1. Add 1 cup of rice and 3 cups of water to the Instant Pot bowl.
1. Agitate the rice. You'll notice the water becomes cloudy.
1. Set the Instant Pot to Yogurt - Less - 30 minutes.
1. Allow to sit until ready to start cooking.
**Food Preparation Stage**
1. Remove the bowl from the Instant Pot.
1. Rinse off the zucchini in the bowl then remove them.
1. Pour the rice and water into a colander or strainer of some sort.
1. Continue like you normally would if normally cooking this meal.
1. Slice or dice the zucchini to your preferences.
1. Add the rice, zucchini, and 2-3 cups of water to the bowl.
1. Set to Rice - High and allow the pressure to release naturally!
- (I get better results using High Pressure for rice.)
Some may think that even this is a lot of water rice! I prefer my meals moist to help with hydration and digestion. Dry, crunchy, or even al dente rice is a no-go for me.
## Rehydrating Dried Fruits
Normally this is for mangoes and sometimes dates, as I've found that banana coins get a weird texture.
This is as easy as adding the dried fruit to a cup or a bowl, adding enough water to cover them, and then letting it sit for 1-2 hours depending on your patience.
For mangoes the water becomes a deliciously sweet nectar, and for dates it becomes a savory and sweet caramel-like drink, especially if using barhi dates.
## Simplicity & Food Combining
There's something to be said about enjoying the food you eat. If you don't like the flavor of rice, then rice may not be for you. Many people don;t even know that rice has a flavor because they're so used to it being cooked with salt, oil, and then having sauces dumped on top.
I subscribe to similar ideas as Natural Hygiene which says monomeals (meals consisting of only a single food ingredient) are the healthiest way to eat and the best chance at a highly efficient digestion. I rarely combine fruits, and allow 20-45 minutes in between each fruit type if eating multiple around a mealtime.
The same goes for cooked food. Sometimes I may combine rice with lentils, however most the time I find myself having rice and a veggie for lunch, then lentils or tofu and a veggie or two for dinner. Vegetables low in acid, calories, and starch (such as celery, kale, or zucchini) are typically safe to combine with higher calorie staples.
The same goes for seasonings. If cooking a celery stew (Khoresh Karafs), my only ingredients will be lentils and fresh celery, with the only seasonings being peppermint and parsley, fresh if I have it otherwise dried. Craving pizza? I'll add oregano and thyme to a meal. Experimenting like cooking a pot of rice with rosemary and lavender can be pretty great too!!

Everything I choose is organic or local unless it's something rare like durian.
Most items are eaten in monomeals. If multiple items exist in one meal, food combining (such as taught in Natural Hygiene) is practiced. More on that [here](/posts/blog/cooking/#simplicity--food-combining).
## Fruit
### Staples
- apples (pink lady, opal, cosmic crisp, autumn crisp, granny smith, sugar bee)
- dates (barhi, deglet, medjool)
### Seasonal
- bananas
- persimmons
- dates (khadrawi, halawi, honey)
## Dry Goods
Check out my [Cooking Guide](/cooking) to see how I rinse and soak these.
### Grains
- white rice (jasmine, basmati, long grain, sushi, short grain, arborrio, etc)
- wild rice
### Legumes
- lentils
- mung beans
- chickpeas
## Snacks
- dried mangoes (typically rehydrated before eating)
- dried bananas (coins, NOT oily banana chips)
## Refrigerated
{{% hide %}}Find my fridge setup and review [here](/fridge)!{{% /hide %}}
### Greens
- celery
- dino kale
- parsley
- cilantro
- lettuces
- brussel sprouts
### Packaged
Anything frozen here is allowed to thaw out so that they're ready to eat by time I get to them.
- frozen mangoes
- frozen cherries
- frozen berry mix
- tofu (typically super firm, high calorie)
- coconut yogurt (Coconut Cult original flavor)
## Allergies

My body is very sensitive in almost every way, including digestion. I've done reverse elimination diets to fine tune what I eat in order to ensure I avoid ailments as simple as bloating and as excruciating as migraines and night terrors.
Basically, if you can feed it to both a rabbit and a dog, then I can probably have it. If it's unsafe for either of those, then I likely avoid it for my own reasons.
Typically I don't accept food or food items from anyone, even trusted friends. This is more just to explain the why's of what I do.
It's also important to note that I practice conscious food combining, otherwise that causes another list of issues. More [here](/posts/blog/cooking/#simplicity--food-combining).
## High Reactivity
I flat out refuse to consume anything which includes even a portion of these.
- Alliums (onion, garlic, even shallots / scallions / chives) {{% show %}}
- Headaches and night sweats to migraines and night terrors.
- Horrible body odor, although most people experience this.
- Digestive and body pains, bloating, mental fog, etc. {{% /show %}}
- Grapes {{% show %}}
- Digestive distress. We'll leave it at that. :) {{% /show %}}
- Tropical Nuts (cashews, brazil nuts, etc) {{% show %}}
- Body pains, fatigue, digestive distress. {{% /show %}}
- Caffeine {{% show %}}
- Sweating, hyperstimulation, severe weight loss. {{% /show %}}
- Drugs & Alcohol
- I prefer to stay present and improve my reality rather than escape.
- These also tend to come with side affects such as mental fog and emotional suppression, some are highly carcinogenic, plus they're relatively expensive.
## Moderate Reactivity
I do not buy these, and will typically avoid a dish with these, rarely even choosing to pick them out of a dish.
- Nightshades (tomatoes, peppers, potatoes, eggplant, tobacco, datura, etc) {{% show %}}
- Mucous for days. Digestive ailments and bloating. Mental fog.
- When cooked at very high temperatures over 400F, like a deep fryer, then these symptoms can go away, but then the oil causes other suffering.{{% /show %}}
- Fatty Substances like Nuts & Seeds{{% show %}}
- Fatigue, lethargy, bloating, general body discomfort (inflammation).{{% /show %}}
- Avocados, almonds, pecans, and walnuts can be okay.
- Oil (Yes, even Extra Virgin Olive or Coconut)
- Inflammation, bloating, multi-day fatigue, acne, etc.
- It's a horrendously processed food!! NOT a health food!
## Low Reactivity
I typically prefer to avoid these and am likely to turn down food containing them, but if they can be picked out, then it may be acceptable.
- Cinnamon and other pesticidal seasonings.
- Usually cause body sweats, fatigue, overheating, etc.
- Roots.
- Typically digest poorly causing bloating and fatigue.
- Some are okay, but it's easier for me to just avoid them.
- Citrus
- General discomfort, digestive ailments.
- Will I sometimes cook with a lemon? Sure.
- No more orange or grapefruit feasts though.
