Healthy eats

[mxracer317]

High protein, shoot for .8 grams per pound body weigh, lean and clean. No processed stuff.

Low-carb deriving from things like PLAIN yams, broccoli and HEALTHLY fats from avocado, fish oil, etc.

Eliminate processed foods, sugars and alcohol.

Eat REAL food. From God’s green earth.

Find out your resting metabolic rate. Google is your friend.

Eat slightly less calories and do some exercise. Even if it’s a daily walk.

Water intake goal should about 0.5 - 1oz water per pound of body weight.

You’ll see results quickly and feel better than you’ve ever felt in your life.

Looking at some of the post on this site, you guys are just starving yourself, depriving yourself of protein and only eating fruit. That’s going to cause you to hate your life and actually be detrimental to losing weight.

Try the above and be strict and consistent and come back in a month to posts your results. It will be transforming.

My wife just started doing this too. We get two gallons of raw milk a week.

Must be nice to have the ability to get raw milk. I remember getting raw milk from a local dairyman as a kid in the Midwest. That ain't happening where I live in California

 

[JEL]

Breakfast is usually yogurt with homemade granola and fruit or oatmeal with fruit. Avocado toast on occasion. Was fasting after 3 o’clock for a whole and I felt really good but the wife misses our evening dinner together.

Salad tonight. Breakfast is normally a little cottage cheese or a couple hard boiled eggs. Throw in a couple little clementine oranges now and then.

It's state by state, i hope bobby will lighten the reins on it soon. In virginia we do a herd share. So I own a portion of the cow and go pick up "my" milk each week. I like it so much if we're out I'll just make coffee with straight water I don't enjoy store milk as much

Gonna pass this along to the wife. She did whole 30 and hasn't felt better in a long time. We went away for a couple days this week and she kinda slid on processed foods while we were traveling. Flu like symptoms. Also she lost 20 lbs in 4 weeks just by cutting out processed foods for anyone on here thinking about trying it. Weight loss wasn't really even her goal with it.

Yesterday was my #3 daughter's birthday. She wanted to celebrate with banana splits. So, I got up in the morning and wasn't really hungry, but my wife had made some peanut butter cookies. So, I ate two. I started getting hungry around 11:00 so I ate another couple of cookies and some cheese and crackers. That held me over until it was time for the banana split party. The banana split was pretty filling and held me until about 8:00 when I ate three more cookies, popped a bag of microwave popcorn and washed it down with a cold beer.

My stomach isn't feeling so great this morning, but maybe a couple more cookies will help. I think I could get use to this healthy eating idea.

Oncologist suggested diet (pre-surgery). Down 30 pounds and almost back to early 20’s weight. I’m hungry

Excellent! Im pretty sure though that venison or lean pork/beef is way better for you than fake meat! Good luck with the surgery.

I would think so too, however, apparently Prostate Cancer feeds off red meat fats and proteins.
I’ve been eating Chicken, Turkey and Fish….no Tofu

This looks like a starvation diet. No wonder you’re hungry. There’s very little fat in a diet like this

It’s certainly working. I feel great and
it’s not meant to be long-term. It’s meant to lose weight pre cancer surgery.
This plus regular workouts (cardio & weights) has me down 38 lbs now.

No real formula, meaning I don't count, etc, but staying lower carb to try and get the A1C down to the point I am off meds.

I have had good success with intermittent fasting - I am a rules kind of guy, so if my rules say eat only between 10am and 6pm, that is easy to do (I cannot cut myself slack). I don't know about the impact of the fasting on my system, but it does keep my meal size down and I don't end up making love to the Frigidaire every evening about 8pm.

We are also working to eat clean. I think the closest to processed food in our diet is hummus, which for some crazy reason has made it to the top of our snack list (dipping with carrots).

I miss my beer. Love a good Stout, IPA, Amber, Red, ESB, Pilsner, ... But have to just say now, and even severely limit the nonalcoholic stuff.

Only drawback I have experienced so far is the joy of constipation. Increasing fiber slowly to reach optimum without swinging too far in the 'd' direction.

20 down, 40 to go (a very skinny guy under this fat).
