mccoy Posted April 13, 2020 Report Share Posted April 13, 2020 Thanks Mechanism for the exhaustive and fascinating details, I like above all the name you chose for this unique regimen, the Spartan Diet, which is very appropriate. The level of discipline it requires is absolutely beyond average and you have rightly pointed out that it may come not without some risks for those who do not have a profound theoretical background of all details involved. I reckon You'll be probably able to judge the results more objectively in 2-3 years, after a 5 year period has elapsed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibiriak Posted April 13, 2020 Report Share Posted April 13, 2020 (edited) Thanks Mechanism! Clearly, a lot of thought went into the SFD, and a lot of discipline mustered to carry out out. Congratulations! Молодец! I personally would love to read a book on the SFD to review all the scientific rationales behind it (even though there is little chance of me adopting it --but who knows?)

drewab Posted May 23, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 (edited) Pretty simple, delicious, and healthy plant-based meal for me here. That is as follows: 2 orange sweet potatoes Spice mix (turmeric, cumin, organic 15 + spice mix) Berry mix Chia seeds Walnuts A side dish of 8oz of steamed broccoli Basic but excellent lunch!

Ron Put Posted May 27, 2020 Report Share Posted May 27, 2020 OK, here is my Cronometer day. No veggies to speak of, but just didn't feel like it today. Tomorrow is another day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomorrow is another day. Ron, I'm wondering how you are able to hit 1000+mg of calcium on that plan? It looks like a great dietary pattern! Today's supper was as follows: Steamed arugula, kale, and a whole beet. A random mix of whatever I had around - green lentils, kidney beans, corn, oats, brazil nuts, banana, zucchini, 4 berry mix, cherries, spice medley, turmeric, etc. These mixes have a habit of really hitting the spot! The calorie total for the meal was likely 700-800. Three cheers for basic plant-based dishes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drewab Posted July 9, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 My second meal of the day today, for approximately 900 calories! Decently hungry after 60 min of mountain bike riding, chores around the house, and playing with my kids. Bowl on the left: From the garden - grand rapids lettuce, kale, beet greens, spinach, radish, chives, oregano, basil, chives, onion + Not from the garden - balsamic vinegar, banana (this is my version of the dressing, which I use regularly). I don't weigh anything as the quantity will vary depending on what's in my garden, but I'm certain it's 1 lb+ of fresh local/organic/just picked produce Bowl on the right: Green lentils, mung beans, chia seeds, mango/pineapple/spinach (from frozen smoothy mix), goji berries, almond butter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordo Posted March 3, 2021 Report Share Posted March 3, 2021 Harvard study says 2 fruits, 3 vegetables ‘right’ number of daily servings for a longer life I mostly just liked the picture which resembled what I ate yesterday for lunch. 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mccoy Posted March 12, 2021 Report Share Posted March 12, 2021 Oranges from Sicily: right now they are exceedingly delicious, this is my regular breakfast. Just 3-4 oranges, not the whole crate. I found they don't elevate blood glucose significantly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mccoy Posted March 13, 2021 Report Share Posted March 13, 2021 This is some sort of homemade superbread: 50% whole grain wheat flour, 50% ground sunflower seeds. Exceedingly nourishing as per cronometer, exceedingly delicious, exceedingly satiating, not exceedingly glycemic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Put Posted April 10, 2021 Report Share Posted April 10, 2021 Here is what I am getting ready to eat (among other things). I love kabocha and often consume a pound a day. The taro is a relatively rare treat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drewab Posted March 25, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2022 A typical meal for me below - the nuances can vary from day to day, but the overall 'jist' of the meal tends to be fairly similar. Gordo, your meal looks delicious and probably a little lower in calories than mine. 1) Brussel sprouts, carrots, and red onion (the seasoning is black pepper, turmeric, garlic, basil, nutritional yeast, and balsamic vinegar) 2) Orange sweet potatoes, green lentils, raspberries, banana, raw cashews (sprinkled with a small amount of cinnamon) Both of which we absolutely delicious and food that I never get tired of eating.

mccoy Posted August 6, 2022 Report Share Posted August 6, 2022 Tomatoes, eggplants, leeks and peppers, spiced with hot chile and EVOO. Delicious is an absolute understatement. The water was then used to soak ground flaxseed and chia seeds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mccoy Posted August 7, 2022 Report Share Posted August 7, 2022 Today tomatoes+cabbage +cauliflower + beans, sprinkled with hi poly EVOO, turmeric and black pepper (2nd dish also nutritional yeast). As a dessert, green bananas sprinkled with undutched cacao powder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mccoy Posted August 13, 2022 Report Share Posted August 13, 2022 Classic large bowl of green mixed salad with onions. Corn and red beans added, also pumpkin seeds. Dressed with EVOO, apple cider vinegar and salt. Very tasty. My son loves it even at breakfast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mccoy Posted August 16, 2022 Report Share Posted August 16, 2022 Another salad in the same large bowl, with Sicilian 'datterini' , or date-like tomatoes. Pumpkin seeds are ubiquitous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mccoy Posted August 16, 2022 Report Share Posted August 16, 2022 This is yet another mix of cooked in-season vegetables: zucchini, peppers, onions, very tasty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
