Very interested to know what some of you more serious health conscious minded dieters do for your daily meals. Like from breakfast all the way through your day.........And what kind of variety do you have throughout the course of a week.
If you can give some minor detail also on how you prepare your food would be greatly appreciated as well.
My proteins mostly consist of wild game when I eat meat. (mostly deer meat and usually made in the smoker!
)
Im trying like hell to get away from refined garbage food but its pretty hard at times to not have some pastas or breads in there.
Thanks

5 days a week I start out at 5 AM with a 30 OZ smoothie made a cheap ole blender: Coconut water, a portion of apple cider vinegar, fresh ginger, ½ apple, banana, table spoon of turmeric powder. I change up with other fresh vegies and fruit. I’m after the greens for the most part.
I then graze in the AM at work with fresh foods and two hard boiled eggs.
Weekends I have fresh vegies, seafood etc with my breakfast.
1 cup of coffee a day or less...lots of water.
Lunch
Left over’s from previous dinners and some vegies and fruit. Water and never any soda. I cannot remember when I had a soda
Dinner
This is always cooked fresh - I shop once or twice a week so everything is fresh. Very little salt and no sugars. No processed flower.
Lots of chicken and fish. Very little too no red meat. Lots of rice as the filler. I’m not a vegetarian – however some nights I cook completely vegetarian. No bread except Daves Killer Bread……real butter!
Drink water, beer and wine.
Sometimes it seem a bit boring to me also. However our health is our major asset and we get no second chance!
I’m 63, weight 155, feel great ( I do workout with a simple workout) and when I’m asked how old I am – most always get a WTF – you only look 50.
Lots of water. No soda, etc. rarely have alcohol, wine or vodka when i do. Unless tap guiness is around...
Lunch is a toss up. Salad with fruits and chicken, made at home.
Dinner is fresh, stop at the grocery and farmers market daily, luckily they are both on my drive home. Chicken and fish on the grill or broiled. More veggies and water to drink. Jasmine rice instead of pastas or white rice. Otherwise its mostly fruits and veggies with some chicken or fish. Steak once a week. From the butcher shop, organic or i get sick as a dog.
The Shop
DeCal Works Huge Plastic Inventory of UFO and Polisport kits.
Luxon 4-Post Bar Mounts
$189.95 - $239.95
Whats the turmeric powder for?
And why little to no red meat?
Im pretty fit and for the most part but even at 45....probably look like im closer to 60!
I AM NOT going to leave much left for a good looking corps in the end! Im using this sucker up! But id rather not feel my age either!
We get a list of ingredients and recipes each week and go shopping on sunday nights. It is usually a lot of veggies, and different kinds of meat and costs about 150 per week for a lot of food for two people. Each meal makes four servings so we eat it for dinner that night amd lunch the next day. We have been doing it for about six months and have lost 50 pounds between the two of us. It's smaller portions than most people eat, so you end up eating less and being hungry more, but the weight just falls right off fast and we know we're eating really healthy foods so it's good motivation.
Gonna have to check that out. I hate feeling hungry. But I need to adjust my diet. My fiancé and I were just talking about it. She makes great old home cooked meals that are wicked tasty. It's so good I eat myself lethargic. And now looking back when we first started dating 7 years ago, we are a little bit more plump lol. I'm at 165 and was hanging around 145 when I met her. When I started road biking weight started to fall off just only in like 3 weeks. If I can just get my diet right....its so hard.
But I need ideas on preparing "clean" meals.
My wife is way to good of a cook like GP said and I will over eat myself into a freekin coma if its there. So Im going to have to start taking over more on that end.
If I have to move some of my track to have a decent garden ....so be it!
I get so much shit from my coworkers for what I eat, but they all order fast food all night and complain aboit feeling tired while I run circles around them on night shift without having to drink any coffee. I feel great and really think it has helped my moto endurance. I did a two hour hare scramble after losing the weight and felt great afterwards.
When you learn how to cook with spices you can make chicken taste delicious. Cumin is the most amazing spice in the world. It can make anything taste like taco meat.
But I want to totally reprogram all of my diet to none of that but seems nearly impossible unless you live at a grocery store or have a farmers market available year round
Id like to know what Aldon Baker lays out for a weekly meal plan for the guys he works with?
Does he make that info available?
Turmeric.....google it. I bought mine on AMAZON and it came in jars. Pure Indian Foods....
Fresh ginger root..... cut a small slice from the root toss it in.
Lots of experimenting for volume and taste.
I shop for the fresh veggies and bring home extra produce department bags and making up a bag of greens for each day in advance.
Red meat..... I like red meat but only the expensive cuts
Sugar... damn when I was younger I could not get enough sugar...... now NOT!
Processed food.... Yuk... the only people that helps is the corporate purveyors of drugs and medical care.
Does he make that info available?"
Yea, for $300,000.
Ima go get one on the way to the grocery store tomorrow morning.
I kinda like the idea of the am blender food idea so Im going to give that a go for the next month and see how it goes.

Make your own spaghetti sauce with tomatoes and the italian faves, basil, garlic, oregano, thyme and a few bay leaves. Use fresh tomatoes, in a blender or cuisenart to make your paste, add a bit of water to loosen it. Then dice some for the sauce. Chopped onion, etc. BUT, use ground turkey instead of beef. Add chopped zucchini, mushroom, i use portabello, and crooked neck squash(yellow squash). Still have spaghetti for dinner, but much healthier than ragu and beef.
Yea sugar is pretty much the cause of all evil. I know there is a lot more to it than sugar, but my mom has been battling breast cancer and her tumor didn't start responding to chemo until she cut out all sugar. She tried to talk to the doctors about diet recommendations and they looked at her like she was crazy. I have read stuff about tumors loving sugar, but of course there isn't a whole lot of info about it.
I used to think it was a huge conspiracy to keep people unhealthy, but then I realized that most people don't know anything about their bodies and don't care either way.
There are a lot of good documentaries about all the horrible things we eat that are on Netflix. One that I remember was called "Fed up."
when we prepare meat it's almost always done on the grill outside. More healthy, tastes better, and less mess.

The biggedt thing is to buy fresh, never frozen when it comes to meats. Never buy packaged lunch meat, have what you want sliced fresh at the deli isle. Always try to buy fresh fruits and Vegetables, stay away from frozen. I keep canned in the house for convienance, but not frozen. For snacks I don't eat junk, my wife makes home made granolla bars and a vegetable try once a week and I snack on those.
Its simple, just do a little home work and don't buy into the whole organic trend. I buy farm eggs fron a friend and I buy vegetables from the farmers market when I can.
It's all "high speed beef" and grass and acorn fed. Should be ok right!?

What is it about the "frozen" that you try to stay away from?
Frozen vegetables are not bad for you, but they aren't as healthy as fresh.
Lunch, eh, armpit ham samich, (2 pieces bread,ham,mayernase,warmed in my armpit)
Supper, moonshine ( from the freezer) or wild turkey if i got money. Lots of carbs in shine.
Late nite snack , ibuprofen biscuit ( biscuit,mustard,10 advils) ,good for hangover.
Get up next morning and repeat.
Already got the ibuprofen and tramidol coctail going but usually thats part of breakfast for me!
The price we pay for the fun we had!
