HOW I EAT
I try to eat healthy, organic and raw foods. I avoid the obvious "bad" items like margerine, butter, chemicals,
preservatives, etc...I also avoid all gluten (wheat, rye, barley & oat protein--it gives me volcanic
gas) and almost all dairy.
I also drink about 12 glasses of cold water throughout the day. I also make time for a workout...as
well as stretch for 15 minutes before bed. I do take a multi vitamin/mineral vitamin B
& C, and 200 mg ibuprofen, as well as a cal/mag capsule. I try to eat vegetables when I can (even the kale garnish
off your plate). If they're available in a restaurant--I choose them. Since buying and cooking them can be
an inconvenience, I'll often take some of kind of "green" powder (you know, the stuff that says one teaspoon is
equal to ninety pounds of fruits & vegetables) to supplement on days where I don't eat enough.
As far as measurements go...I keep it pretty loose, knowing myself and what is and is not appropriate.
I tend to go by the "handful" method. If it fits in my hand, it's going to fit in my mouth & belly. I'm just
trying to stay REAL.
For some of the items like brown rice tortillas or potatoes, I'll spray them with canola or olive oil and
and salt and spices. For a salad, I may add a healthy dressing. I don't list these items in the eating plan.
Many of them are nonfat or marginal additions. Use some discipline and don't sweat it.
I go back and forth as to whether I want to avoid meat...or not. Meat is much more of a convenience
and variety for me than it is a need. I go long stretches without it...But when it's available, I'll have some.
I almost never make it for myself. This goes for all meats, chicken, fish, manatee, chupacabra, etc...
I often embrace the concept of the hunter/gathering man...Waiting a few hours before I eat, growing an alarming hunger...Then, I'll put myself through a depleting workout...By now, I'm raw and humming...Exposed...Ready...Then
I'll snack on nuts and dried fruit throughout the day...When the day nears it's end, I'll attack a clutch
of eggs obtained from a wild nest (my fridge) and eat heartily as if it may be my last meal...Or until
I discover the gluten free/dairy free chocolate chip cookies made with heathy oils baked by my awesome wife.
I've listed a week's worth of MY menus below...You may want to try them, alter them, or simply
use them as food for thought...They vary, depending on my mood, schedule and whether there is a rainbow outside. Rainbows
are rad.
