Conservation muscles
I just read an interesting blog post:

He talks about a friend who used to eat everything with a spoon. Steak, bread & butter, didn't matter. Besides being mondo-strange, it's a great way exercise conservation. Literally - she was building her "conservation muscles."
This may be the most important way to prepare for peak oil. We'll have to do without lots and lots and LOTS. The best thing is to get ready for it mentally (and physically!)
The bad thing is that if you're a normal American like myself, it's realistically among the most improbable things you'll actually do. Think about it - for no immediate reason, you have to do without something you otherwise use up without thinking twice.
It's like dieting by consuming less of everything, not just food.
