Hello! Haven't been over here in a while life's been a bit exhausting but Xisuma stream rant yay!
Okay Xisuma has always been one of those "promote healthy eating and good eating habits" kind of person which honestly I heavily support however with everything he says I feel like I always find a yeah but ____.
For context Ive struggled with every aspect of food. I used to drastically overeat in my early teen years (I'd eat like 4000 calories daily in high fat food) then mid to late teens I fell down the complete other side and developed a severe food fear and wouldn't eat anything. Nowdays I'm at a "I will eat what I want and I don't care" mindset however I'm a big fan of exercise (within my physical ability as a disabled person)
I think when it comes to food talk everyone will have a different experience. I will no longer listen to people tell me what's "good and bad" and what I am and am not allowed to eat however a lot of what he says is genuinely helpful. He was talking about how hot chocolate tends to help with his cravings and talking about the specific low calorie hot chocolate he likes. I'm all for hot chocolate instead of 14 chocolate bars however for some people this won't help and that's okay. If you don't find this useful then have a chocolate bar. There's no point drinking hot chocolate if it won't help you you.
He was also talking about how he doesn't like chicken nuggets due to them being highly processed and whatever. I'm autistic and I have arfid and chicken nuggets were all I would eat as a young kid and that's fine.
My point is with this rant, food and health and everything is all subjective. I sometimes find it hard to realise that he isn't saying yeah you have to eat like me he's saying just consider this but at the end of the day do whatever you want. I know a lot of hermitcraft members talk about different food items in different contexts and I know how much of the viewer community struggle with food and eating and all of that.
Point is, don't take advice from people who don't know your specific needs. Don't feel bad for not being like your favourite content creators and you're doing great regardless of whatever happens... 🫶
