I've been hearing about more and more people doing things like this, but I have to ask (serious question, and I'm not trying to be snarky): do you not enjoy eating food? Eating such boring and repetitive meals every day sounds absolutely horrible to me. Granted, I cook almost every day and really enjoy making and eating varied meals packed with flavor, but even then—do you not get bored at all? Do you not get pleasure from eating cooked meals? I think I would go mental on this kind of diet, but I'm starting to think that maybe I'm an outlier, and most people are happy to simply fill their stomachs.

Sure, I enjoy a nice steak like anyone else. But I don't feel the need to have warm meals everyday, and it's certainly not worth the effort to me. The only part of the diet I actually find "boring" is the vegetables. I like everything else, I specifically picked foods from each category I enjoyed enough to eat daily. E.g. I tried several kinds of raspberries and decided I didn't like them enough to have daily. I can still add variety. Maybe once a week I'll go out and grab a tuna salad, and somewhat less often I'll have a steak salad. And the other week I bought a pack of ice cream sandwiches and had 2-3/day till it was finished, and had less elsewhere to compensate. I may gradually add more things in as I experiment, but this is my base diet, one I can be comfortable knowing it's nutritious.
