Baseline Food Approach is my plant-based, gluten-free baseline mode for eating. It is built to improve predictability — steadier energy, a lighter sensory load, and more consistent digestion — by keeping day-to-day food variables low. Consider this page an open door into my personal system: you are invited to look around, not to adopt it.

• Plant-based + gluten-free: baseline meals exclude animal products and gluten in all its common forms (including hidden/derived sources) and are designed to avoid cross-contamination risk.
• No added oils or sweeteners: fats and sweetness stay in their whole-food context (no extracted oils; no added sugars/sweeteners).
• Whole-food priority: emphasises intact ingredients over isolates and concentrates; fruit juices and powdered extracts are kept out of baseline mode.
• Avoided in baseline mode (for consistency):
  • Ultra-processed and additive-heavy products
  • High-odour aromatics in larger amounts
  • Fermented/probiotic foods used as optional extras, not foundation
  • Common “variable” staples used selectively outside baseline mode (including some grains/legumes and coconut-based products)
• Odour + comfort considerations: choices also reflect cosmetic comfort (sport/fitness confidence and sensitive-skin considerations).

This is my baseline system: repeatable defaults that keep inputs steady so meals feel consistent day-to-day.
