The book is separated into three parts, which were then the subject of a book for each of them to further develop what interests us. The first material goods (the futility of possessing objects in counterparts, the advantage of cleaning a rather empty area qu'envahie trinkets ...) the second concerns the supply (search volume food that is enough for us, relearn the hungry to eat with pleasure, satiety relearn to know when to stop, enjoy and rediscover the taste to last ...), the third the mind (But then I hung less ).
The teachings and philosophies outlined are clear and help explain why some people chose this lifestyle, and inclines us to join; by against the advice given are extremists. It is nevertheless possible to adapt them to their tastes and personal needs ... For example, she advises not keep a limited number of kitchen accessories. In searching my drawers, I found that I had 2 opener and 2-saving knives. Under his guidance I have to keep only one of each ... But when my husband helps me in the kitchen, we are 2 to peel. And when my eldest son, already a teenager, leaving home, he will need a starter package containing duplicate the opener. So I have good reasons to keep them! (For cons, I admit that I should do something for the 3 corkscrew and knife sharpeners 4).
Similarly, she advises getting rid immediately (discard, give, sell ...) bulky items. The method is hard and cruel ... I chose, for clothes, for example, to keep more than she advocated and let wear and time to do their work, to take as and measure ...
For the part about food, she gives advice that may be the field of dietetics, in which case they are to be taken lightly, but also other on how to cook and food choices that ultimately a matter of common sense in which some have said "it goes without saying"; yes, but it gets better in the telling. Consume fresh fruits and vegetables and seasonal chew before swallowing long, limiting salt, sugar and fat, prefer whole grains to refined grains, favor the bio ... A point that many people reacted in the comments previous was the volume of food to be taken by meal: it merely the size of a grapefruit, which takes in a bowl. I fed me so long, and I assure you it is feasible! What astonishes me is to see that some people, at family meals on Sundays for example, are able to swallow 3 times more than me, or the amount that I take in a day!
As for the mind, it recommends only do one thing at a time, to focus on it, to meditate from time to time, and to grant the beaches of rest and relaxation. Alas, this is wishful TUSCs! A family life and a full-time job does not allow me (yet) apply these tips!
