Here is a recipe produces 5 simple meals in 40 minutes.
I don’t like restaurant foods and I don’t feel well after eating them due to histamine content, so I developed following recipe over the years. Some ingredients are accidentally inline with likely quite healthy Bryan Johnson’s recipes, but some things I got inspired from him. You can cook this all-in-one pot, and that is how I cooked the original variant, but for the best results, I recommend splitting it as described below.
- Prepare your large pressure cooking pot, e.g., from IKEA.
- Soak 500g of black beans (or red beans) for 8 hours, e.g., overnight. Wash beans afterward. The beans should absorb the water and be a bit softer. You can skip soaking, but you will have to cook longer.
- Then pressure-cook the beans but add:
- 1 or 2 frozen chicken breasts
- salt, 1g oregano, 1g potassium chloride salt.
- Increase the pressure fast within 5 minutes. Then cook for 35 minutes in high pressure. Rather over-cook than under-cook. If you haven’t soaked the beans, cook for 45min+.
- After this, the frozen breast should be done well. The beans should be soft almost like a paste, and must not be crunchy or sandy. Otherwise, restart cooking for 5+ minutes. Uncooked beans won’t feed and can be partially toxic.
- In parallel cook:
- 150g of quinoa (good protein spectrum) or semolina high fibre pasta cooked for 15 minutes. I prefer to under-cook to have less sugar.
- 300g of frozen mixed vegetables of cauliflower, brocolli, carrot, pepper to reduce the fibers a bit. Add 100g almonds. Cooked for 10 minutes.
- Then mix into the large pressure-cooking pot:
- Add following:
- creatine
- psyllium 5x tea spoon
- 5 teaspoons of blueberries or redcurrant
- (Optional) Add selected from these:
- pea sprouts for DAO enzyme.
- carob for flavonoids and polyphenols as a cacao alternative.
- 6x1 brazil nut, or macadamia
- carrot, bell peppers, parsley
- goat whey protein 5x 30g (this is hard to get. only the AlpenPower is good enough)
- Split into around 6 portions into containers, cool and freeze them within 1 hour for later use. (I will test stainless steel containers.)
- I eat 1 meal for breakfast and 1 for lunch.
If you have any suggestions, please let me know.
If you are reading this, you may have low on vitamin D. There are blood tests for that. I take fish oil and recently started supplementing more.
Histamine Intolerance Tips
Histamine intolerance can be stressing, mind-dimming, and distracting, and so progress-freezing. In addition, you risk developing a bad mindset that snaps back and self-disappoints without any other cause. But all this is all resolvable! With technologies like the diagnostics, internet, and a discipline of specific diet and habits! Easy. Keep conjecturing, criticizing, and conjecturing again, because this, even if flawed in parts, will still lead to improvements. Fortunately, histamine intolerance is such a silly easy problem if you compare to what many successful others faced from past to present. Reducing this health distraction and powering up new efforts, you may become more ordinary and beyond.
Here are non-expert tips that seemed to work to give back time and focus:
- Consider getting measurements and advice from a doctor. I have S-DAO measurement in U/ml units.
- Read SIGHI list and compare it with my recipe. Black beans are not optimal, but I haven’t found replacement yet.
- Consider cooking above food for 1 day. My blood work is normal when using this formulation most of the time longer periods. But you may be different and my diagnostics may not be complete. I will rotate more variants in the future.
- Consider to stop eating earlier before going to sleep 2 nights. I eat twice a day only, which may not be optimal though.
- Consider one pack of NaturDAO vegetable DAO enzyme supplement or something similar.
- Consider reading 3 posts with a dose of skepticism from the dedicated histamine intolerance subreddit.
- Consider rowing 2 minutes at maximum speed and max hardness for 3 mornings.
- Consider retrain your mind by repeating selected thoughts. Stress enhances you.
Be careful. This is not an advice and I don’t have full knowledge of this topic. But if I find something improving this specifically, I will post an update.
One has to be grateful for all these bettering technologies and techniques that we have today.
