I poach it, and eat it without seasoning of any kind, including salt or pepper. I dump vegetables into the pot after poaching, for 60-90 seconds. I eat this as is, or with a couple of slices of bread. I drink water before and after eating, but not usually during. 1-2 hours after eating, I feel like a superhero. Then I exercise for 30-60 minutes, then read and study. This is literally my evening routine, and I sleep like an infant.
