mccoy Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 (edited) Caitlin, ditto for myself, I'm very curious about the eating habits of other health-conscious people. I'll add more pics from my diet. 1 - fruit, nuts and vitamin K2-rich homemade cheese from kefir 2-Incredibly good-tasting oranges from the Etna region, Sicily. I can eat up to 2.2 pounds of these. I also eat the untreated skin (some of it) 3-Swiss chards steamed with little water. The stalks come in 3 colors: white, red, yellow. 4-Veggies, black beans and pumpernickel bread 5-Turmeric-laden steamed cauliflowers 6-garbanzo beans plus a local vegetable 7-black beans, usually a few tablespoonfuls mixed to vegetables Edited March 23, 2017 by mccoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miraenda Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 That cauliflower looks delicious. I keep trying to add more turmeric to my evening meal every day so that I get 1-2 tsp a day in my diet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pryme Posted November 22, 2017 Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 (edited) Quinoa with avacado, peppers and other veggies. A little cilantro and a bit of fish sauce, give this dish an Asian flavor. Very light and fresh Edited November 22, 2017 by Pryme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pryme Posted November 22, 2017 Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 Vegan Lasagna. You would swear the tofu and white bean mix was ricotta. Very tasty. Topped with crushed red pepper and a little hot sauce on mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Todd Allen Posted January 29, 2019 Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 Gordo, that's a lot of nuts and sweet potatoes for one meal... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saul Posted January 29, 2019 Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 Todd, you're right. My take was that Gordo was showing us a collection of food from which his meal was taken -- not that he ate all of that. Also, I avoid sweet potatoes, as they're too starchy and high in calories. Rarely, I eat part of a small raw blue organic Japanese sweet potato. (I haven't done that for over a year.) -- Saul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordo Posted January 30, 2019 Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 (edited) Haha, you guys are funny. FYI: a relative sent me (by snail mail) an article about the oldest living person in the US who just recently died (114) and in the article it said she claimed that she ate a sweet potato per day (the long lived Okinawans also purportedly ate daily sweet potatoes). This person sent me the article because she knew that I like sweet potatoes and I also eat them almost every day. So I took that picture of my lunch to send back to her. I ate the below meal outside with no shirt on, 30F temperature the other day while getting sun exposure, hah! Its 26F today and sunny, I may try to find what my limit actually is. It's the wind that really gets me, no wind and its quite enjoyable. Edited January 30, 2019 by Gordo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordo Posted February 5, 2019 Report Share Posted February 5, 2019 Interesting, I stumbled across this article today about a guy who analyzed his gut microbiome 600 times: https://www.cnbc.com/2019/01/31/former-apple-engineer-analyzes-microbiome-what-he-learned.html?__source=twitter|main&fbclid=IwAR2v541R03qo-I_3m76Qarm4EJLCx0pYn62wewEsYBneWoBVSeXd5wf7Vdk He made an interesting connection between potatoes and great sleep! I eat a sweet potato pretty much every day, and also sleep well, I wonder if there really is a connection, it says: Diet can have a big impact on Sprague's sleep. He noticed that when he ate potato starch, he was able to increase the amount of a microbe called bifidobacterium, an ingredient found in many commercial probiotics, in his gut. "I learned that this microbe likes to eat a particular kind of resistant starch in potatoes, so I'd drink it about 8 hours before sleep and tested myself," he explained. "I saw a bloom (of it), and sure enough, my sleep that night was amazing." He believes it increased his levels of melatonin, which induces sleep.

Gordo Posted December 17, 2019 Report Share Posted December 17, 2019 FYI Peru has some fantastic blueberries right now, showing up in the US, only $1.39/pint at my local Aldi. This seems to be an especially good year! Highly recommend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mccoy Posted January 4, 2020 Report Share Posted January 4, 2020 (edited) Fredrick, that's a good meal, but you should probably add spices and also some tomato sauce or some hypocaloric dressing to make it more palatable. Also, flaxseeds need to be ground, otherwise, they are not digested. Edited January 4, 2020 by mccoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mccoy Posted April 12, 2020 Report Share Posted April 12, 2020 Very interesting regime, perhaps similar to the nutritarian diet proposed by Dr Fuhrman but stricter, with a keto-nuance. I wonder if you've tracked an average week with cronometer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
