MAKING IT EASY TO EAT WHAT'S GOOD
EASILY DONE, WITH TIME SAVED, BUT VERY HEALTHY
If you're even remotely like me, I feel that the super-super maximum health diets are too hard to keep up and take too much time to prepare. I think preparation and maintenance time should be minimized so that I can do other things with my life. So I make it super-simple - and of course you can add any complexities you want on top of this to make it better.
I simply load up on:
Frozen veggies (cooking/defrosting one gallon bowlful every morning to make sure I have a ready-to-eat supply; sometimes doing another bowl for finger food; I only add garlic salt before I defrost, and it tastes fine to me); occasionally I'll grab two handfuls of baby spinach and stuff them in my mouth (!) and find it is just fine and very easy, but I stick it in my smoothie if I have one.)
Eat a smoothie mix of spinach with your own basic mix of, say, greek yogurt, 1/2 banana or berries or a pre-prepared smoothie mix from a reliable supplier (for 44 grms: 5 gm fiber, 20 gms protein, fat 10, sugars minimal (less than 5)
Eat, to my taste, hard boiled eggs.
Grab pre-cut slices of non-nitrate/nitrite meat (turkey, ham). Tuna in water;, canned wild salmon, frozen pre-cooked grilled chicken pieces.
Lentils w/o any sugar or bad ingredients (Madras Lentils in 60 second microwavable packets, Costco)
Sweet mini Peppers (fresh in a bag) - eat 4 or 5 as a finger food (or add to something)
Cooked steelcut oatmeal (small containers, 60 second microwave, Costco) (minimize grains!)
Unsalted almonds, chia seed, sunflower seeds, walnuts, sprouted pumpkin seeds
1 apple (cored, with almond butter) or 1 banana (not if have to lose weight though)
Supplements (Omega 3 especially, Vit D3)
Fish 3 x week
Protein (no sugar) powder
No grains, except have low fat (for the calories) popped popcorn; no bread
My easy, but a little "further out" practices:
Add to coffee: green tea extract and pH drops, stevia (all purchased from SwansonVitamins.com).
