Muji or Uniqlo are good go to shops.

 

Sharing my go-to keto breakfast! What's yours?

  • 500ml water with electrolytes, or sea salt and lemon.
  • 2-6 boiled eggs. Oddly, they seem more filling than omelettes. I opt for organic or free-range.
  • Fry 1-3 handfuls of spinach or other greens in butter. Spice it up with chili and pepper. Sometimes I toss in a some mushrooms, ham, sausage, etc.
  • Back coffee with butter/coconut oil. Pro tip: blend it with grass-fed butter. But watch the quantity, many of the good effects of this breakfast can be undone if you go too far here on the fats.

This meal keeps me full and energized all day. No bloating or sluggishness.

A few have thought it was a political or even religious stance e.g. environmental-based, anti-corporation/capitalist. No I just don't like lugging around and burdening myself with unnecessary stuff. although I suppose it does influence certain views e.g. sustainability.

 

We've all heard the labels – vegan, city dwelling, young affluent, anti-capitalist hippies... the list goes on. But beyond the rage-baiting media's depictions, what's the funniest, most surprising, or common misconception someone has had about your minimalist lifestyle?

I love taking photos, so many great moments have been captured, wonderful people, and stunning locations. It is also a creative release.

Do what suits you best. For me, I either shoot analogue or limit the photos I take during notable moments. I.e. you don’t see me recording a concert on my phone, nudging purges out of the way for that selfie, or paparazzi-style blasting friends and family during get-togethers.

I completely disagree with your premise about the free market and its implications; however I think the second question is helpful.

What are your guiding principles that help you make decisions in everyday life?

I support people and businesses that operate in a manner that is inline with my values. Similarly, that’s how I try to live. You vote with your money and your actions. Economically a freer market would better allow this; as an individual you have the power of choice over many things; collectively, aligned parties without ego and other ulterior motives, can achieve great things.

Some of the values I have surround the following:

  • Healthfulness
  • Kindness
  • Utility
  • Sustainability
  • Efficiency
