Cecily, good job seriously.
But don't run too quickly, right now. Your lungs are in-between, give them time to heal before you start treating them like shit through massive exercise when they are clearly weak.

I'll give you a trick, for vegetables.
Cut them so they are ready for ingestion.
What you intend to eat today, leave outside the fridge and marinate them in good olive oil, sea salt, freshly ground black pepper... and some sugar.

Most vegetables will start secreting water and drinking salt, sugar and pepper, adding an intense flavour. Guys I'm a chef if you have food questions ask.

About the crunch leaving you satisfied, it's because it's mental: your brain heard the crunch, your mouth felt it and your stomach enjoys it. Triple threat but there's a bunch of things that can crunch!
Very thinly sliced baguette will create "croutons" which you can turn into croutons in the oven with olive oil or in a pan, with butter and fresh herbs. or no herbs.

And cover that shit in peanut butter.
(yeah I know I explained how to make fancy toast)


But since sugar is the problem, not say, fat like butter, you can also make madelaines which are very. fucking. easy to make and taste like butter.

However, my favourite crunch that is very easy to make, is pan fried buttery philo pastry.

You can buy the frozen package.
I use a round cookie cutter to shape it round like a cookie and throw butter in a pan.
I wait for the butter to brown a little and toss my philo pastry circles in there.
They puff.
They crunch.
They taste of golden butter.

No sweet.
Last a few days in a container.
Let me know if you need easy / cheap ideas to combat this.

I recently stopped smoking weed and I feel you.
(i would ix with tobacco and 25 years of this took its toll and I was coughing a lot and three months in, I run now. Like I haven't done that since my service)(but I fast walk yet now I fast walk even faster)
