### *Example Input Text:*

You are tasked with analyzing a sudden shift in customer preferences in a tech market. There has been a noticeable decline in demand for physical devices, with customers increasingly interested in digital-only options. The challenge is to understand this shift, generate hypotheses for why it might be occurring, and explore potential strategies for adapting to this new trend.

---

### *Processed Output with System 1 and System 2 Thinking:*

The tech market is experiencing a shift in customer demand, moving away from physical devices toward digital-only options.

[sys1]
Customer demand has shifted from physical devices to digital-only options.
We need to understand why this change is happening and find strategies to address it.
Key factors may include cost, convenience, and technological trends.
[end sys1]

[sys2]
**2.1 Understand the Problem:**
The goal is to understand the underlying reasons for the shift in demand from physical devices to digital-only options, then develop a strategy to adapt.

*Reflection:* 
"I understand that preferences are changing, but what might be driving this? Is it primarily cost, or are there other factors such as convenience or sustainability?"

*Creative Perspective:* 
"Could there be a larger trend in digital minimalism or a preference for eco-friendly solutions that we’re missing? What unseen motivations might explain this shift?"

**2.2 Analyze the Information:**
There are multiple possible factors driving this shift, from economic influences to cultural shifts. It’s essential to isolate each factor and understand its impact.

*Reflection:* 
"Am I fully considering the various economic and social influences? Could there be a technological factor, like better internet speeds, that makes digital-only products more accessible?"

*Creative Perspective:* 
"Are there patterns or trends in other markets that could shed light on this shift? Could this be part of a larger trend toward virtual experiences?"

**2.3 Generate Hypotheses:**
1. Customers prefer digital options due to lower costs. (Confidence: 0.8, Creative: 0.4)
2. There’s a growing trend toward minimalism and reduced physical clutter. (Confidence: 0.7, Creative: 0.7)
3. Digital products offer greater flexibility and ease of use. (Confidence: 0.6, Creative: 0.6)

Keto Grain-free Hemp Heart Porridge: Just Nuts + Seeds!

A keto and grain-free porridge made with just nuts and seeds. Over 24 grams of fiber in every bowl. A hearty meal that’s gluten-free, sugar-free, dairy-free, vegan, low-carb, keto, and paleo.

Porridge is good, especially with the weather we’ve been having. I tracked how much time I spent shoveling snow last week… 2 ½ hours. That’s insanity – secretly I love it, so much more refreshing than heading to a stuffy gym. The dogs were playing in the snow, I was listening to music, but I digress.

Porridge. Porridge is great… if you eat oats. Heck, even if you eat quinoa or amaranth; the grain-free “seeds” of the porridge world, porridge can be your thing. But, for many of us who can’t digest grains AND have a challenging time with quinoa and amaranth, porridge just isn’t in the cards.

Until now.

Did you know? Hemp hearts act like oats? You bet. They don’t absorb liquids like oats do, but add them to a pot with keto porridge-like ingredients and BOOM, you have yourself a keto porridge.

I used organic Manitoba Harvest Hemp Hearts for this keto recipe. I like using their hemp hearts because they’re locally produced, I’ve met the team, I’ve seen the facility, I love their message and I’ve even drummed with them (there may have been dancing, too).

New to the world of hemp hearts? My pals at Manitoba Harvest created this fun infographic that outlines just how easy hemp hearts are to use. And now that you know how similar they are to oats, you could potentially make keto cookies with them, different keto and grain-free porridge recipes, and more.

I’ve tested this keto recipe multiple different ways, you can have a lot of fun with it. Today, I’m giving you the basic keto template. From there, you could add egg whites, egg yolks, grass-fed collagen, replace the ground almonds with more seeds if you’re sensitive to nuts, different spices for different flavors, eggnog in place of milk, you name it. PLAY.

Add all ingredients but the ground almonds and toppings to a small saucepan. Stir until combined, then heat over medium heat, just until it begins to boil lightly. No need to cover.

Once bubbling lightly, stir once over and leave to cook for another 1-2 minutes.

Remove from the heat, stir in crushed almonds, and drop into a bowl. Top with toppings and eat immediately.

Notes

Making Ahead: I have not tried making this keto recipe ahead of time and eating it later. I’m not sure if it would get too sticky?Nut-free: If you can't do nuts, simply replace the ground almonds with crushed sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds.Digestion: If you're sensitive to nuts and seeds, you could try soaking the ingredients beforehand.

Note for those following a low-carb, ketogenic eating style as outlined in my book, The Keto Beginning. It’s best to enjoy this keto recipe before bed, as your last meal of the day. The reason being is although the net carbs for this keto recipe are a little over 2 grams, the shot of carbohydrates (regardless of the net carbs) may affect your blood sugar, depending on how sensitive you are to carbohydrates. It’s therefore best to do this at night so that your body has the glucose it needs for healing. Consuming foods that do this to your blood sugar in the morning, inhibits your body’s ability to burn fat during the day.

On to how to make your keto porridge…

Add all of the keto ingredients (but crushed almonds and toppings) into your saucepan.

Cook until it looks like this, below. You don’t want it overly “gummy” as it will firm up while it cools. You don’t need to cook this keto porridge too long, just a couple of minutes to heat things up.

Drop in the crushed almonds, and give it a good stir.

Transfer to a pretty bowl, top with additional keto goodies and dig in!

And! Manitoba Harvest just launched a New Year, New You campaign where they’re kicking off 2015 by giving away the products from other brands that they love – Natural Vitality, Yoga Journal, New Chapter, NutriBullet and more. I know how much you all love free (healthy) goodies, so I wanted to mention it to you. The best way to stay updated on the giveaway happenings is to follow Manitoba Harvest on Facebook.

I have been making fermented oat meal from freshly flaked groats. I make the flakes and add them to water to which I add a capsule of probiotics and leave for 8 hours at 43 degrees. The same as when making yogurt. I program the oven to cook 8 hours at 205 degrees. The probiotics “eat” the flakes and the result is a tangy liquid porridge.
I wonder if I could do that with hemp hearts.

Praise

I love that you have offered a way to “keto” without all the counting! I think it’s helpful to learn how to and why to count macros, but I also know it isn’t for everyone, and not completely necessary….so it’s been great for me to have someone lead in that direction! Thank you!

 Kristen

I have struggled with body issues and depression/anxiety since I was a pre-teen. When I became pregnant with my daughter, I made the conscious decision to make myself healthy and did all the “normal” things. It was so restrictive and unnatural for me that I gave it up and gained the weight back. After doing a little more research, I discovered keto. Almost as if it were meant to be, I found Leanne Vogel on Pinterest, who inspired me to find the diet that made me feel good. I’m now nearly 25 pounds lighter, and so much happier! I love my body for the first time.

 Haley

I’ve only been doing keto for a couple months, but so far my depression has lifted, my knee injury was healed quick, my sinus allergies aren’t bothering me, and my hair is growing wonderfully fast! I get a lot of inspiration from Leanne – thank you for sharing your life with the rest of us! Now I’m keto for life!

 Earline

When I was raw vegan, my gut played up severely and I was never full. My moods were erratic, and when I added cooked carbs and beans, my colitis flare-ups were pretty much a daily occurrence. After years of estrogen dominance and PCOS, I’m so pleased with keto now. In addition to that, I got the best news today– I got my period. (It stopped months ago.) You have given me the courage to let my body balance and heal. I stopped the progesterone and testosterone treatments and started keto, and things are starting to happen. I’m only a few weeks in and I feel like this is the missing piece of the puzzle.

 Janita

I am loving your book, your podcasts, and all your videos! Since post menopause, I had most of the signs of pre-dementia, and this diet has been reversing them – it has been a true miracle for which I am eternally grateful. I believe it has saved my life. I plan to also incorporate the other health advice you give, such as yoga and breathing. Thank you so much for what you do!

 Heather

I love this program! After watching some of Leanne’s videos, I decided to take a risk by eating high-fat. My body has healed SO MUCH over the past few months. Fat fueled is an awesome guide to eating high fat and healing your body.

 Luise

After 8 months, I am 80 lbs lighter. My chronic pain has completely disappeared and I haven’t even taken a single ibuprofen since June. I don’t track any macros. And… WE GOT PREGNANT! After ten years of infertility and two losses. Ladies, if you are trying to fix your hormones this really works! Listen to your body and run experiments on yourself to see what it responds to. Whenever I began to stall in my loss, I tried something new and I had fabulous results. I’m still considered overweight, but I have never felt as good as I do right now.

 Sara

I’m loving The Keto Beginning Audiobook. I’m excited to order your upcoming book this spring! Thank you for your wealth of experience and positive attitude. I love your podcasts and articles.

 Tiffini

Thank you for all of your positive videos and amazing knowledge. I used to eat fast food almost every day and I was 110kg (242 lbs), but I’m now down to a healthy 77kg (170 lbs). I started out eating paleo, but have recently changed to your keto eating plan and I am very excited!

 Sheldyn

I have been an endurance athlete for 12 years now, a vegan for 3.5 years, and am now starting my Fat Fueled journey. I have found your recipes immensely helpful as I train for Ironman distance triathlons. I don’t have to eat as much during the workout, and I avoid the horrible gut-bombs and sugar fermentation bloat that so many athletes suffer from. I consider your recipes vital to optimal performance and stalk your website regularly to see what new brilliance shows up!

 Amanda

Enjoying your gooey St. Louis cake at lunch today. I was a little skeptical when I was making it but it is a-mazing! I chose it because I had all of the ingredients on hand…would make again!!

 Susan

I’m new to the keto diet and am so grateful I’ve found healthfulpursuit.com– down to earth, approachable, holistic, but most of all, speaking to women’s specific needs. I find the lack of shame and the use of real food to be refreshing. Thank you for being a rational, reasonable voice. It’s the honesty that caught my eye.

 Tia

I have been subscribing to the meal plans for a few months now, and I just have to say, THANK YOU for offering this service. It is everything I ever wanted in a food plan and more. I love that I don’t have to think about my grocery list or what I am going to eat because it’s all already laid out and all I have to do is shop and cook! For me, it is just perfect.

 Ashley

I have been on and off keto for years. I purchased the Keto Bundle a few days ago and read the whole book today. You answered questions I got from nowhere else – why I can’t sleep – why my carbs and calories are too low – thank you!

 Robin

I recently decided to try a keto diet since I suffer from endometriosis and have tried a low fat diet, vegan diet, etc. and nothing has really worked. In doing some research I came across your website and it has been so helpful. I purchased the Keto Bundle and then your book The Keto Diet, which I absolutely love. Every recipe that I try is so good, even my 4 year old son loves them. My favorite so far is the chili stuffed avocados, such an amazing flavor. Your podcasts and videos are so helpful. Thanks for providing such great information!!
