Topic: Diet

I am trying to minimize dairy, sugar and flour in my diet. So here is what I have been consuming lately.

1. Plain Greek yogurt
2. Oatmeal (lots of Oatmeal, and not the instant kind)
3. Cranberries
4. Light Cranberry juice (5 grams of sugar in 8 oz serving).
5. Fish, mainly Salmon
6. Fuji Apples
7. Turkey sandwiches on whole wheat bread
8. Plain Almond milk
9. Carrots and Broccoli with ranch dressing

Anything else I should include that is cheap? Cut anything out?

Re: Diet

Apples have a lot of sugar. It's sad to hear about your diabetes.

Re: Diet

I don't have diabetes. I want to eat healthier.

Fruit may be nature's candy, but it's not the same as the refined crap in most other foods. But overall I try to keep the amount of sugar I eat to 40 grams.

Re: Diet

more meat dude, its awesome and if youre not too old or eat too much other problematic stuff the cholesterol wont matter, just vary between beef pork and chicken

Re: Diet

Is your plan here to lose weight? Or are we just wanting to eat healthy?

Re: Diet

Noir,

I'm 5'7" (170.1 meters) and 125 lbs (56.69 kg). So no, losing weight isn't my worry hehe. I just want to eat healthy so I can delay my body's decay. I want to be healthy and youthful as long as I can.

Okay, I suppose I can eat more chicken and beef, even if it's a bit pricey. Isn't pork unhealthy though?

Re: Diet

5'7" is like midget height for men =x

Re: Diet

With ur weight i dont see why u diet, but it's never bad to eat healthy

1. Plain Greek yogurt
2. Oatmeal (lots of Oatmeal, and not the instant kind)
3. Cranberries
4. Light Cranberry juice (5 grams of sugar in 8 oz serving).  >> get rid of diet things they have plenty of chemical things that are really bad for health
5. Fish, mainly Salmon >>always good to eat fish but salmon isnt the best, lot of bad fat especially if it comes from sea farms where they eat shit.
6. Fuji Apples >>an apple a day keeps the doctor away.  better if u remove or wash very well the skin that have lot of chemical stuff. Frut sugar is natural u can eat as many as u want
7. Turkey sandwiches on whole wheat bread >>this is really shit, just get rid of it. this is a mix of 10k turkeys that lived on 1m2 6 weeks, that ate shit to make them grow fast and cheap then they put the 10k together with some chemical stuff to give them taste boiled them together, then they cut slices of this shit! Eat chicken or beef (fresh ones, not slices or mixt shits)
8. Plain Almond milk >>dont drink too much milk, human is not to drink cow milk, many ppl will tell u it's not digestable.
9. Carrots and Broccoli with ranch dressing >>brocoli is the best thing against cancer, carrots aswell. buy them fresh preferably


U can eat whatever u want especially fruits(washed well), , vegetables(washed well), fresh meat(cooked with no fat), I would eat rice (preferably not the white one) and other dry vegetables. put olive oil (fresh not coooked) to give taste(u will buy one bottle each 3-4 monthes so dont buy the cheapest one), it's good fat and vitamins, lot of fish they have vitamins u find nowhere else (maybe in olive oil) but not the one grown in farms. preferably buy ur things on market (bio if possible) dont eat things under plastic or modified, or pre-cooked, or diet. ppl think it's more expensive to eat market things  but watch the price per kilo it's often cheaper in market when u dont have to pay for the plastic around and all the chemical things they put for conservation...

isn't that only for people who are lactose intollerant? and milk has a lot of proteins and calcium. the fat shouldn't be a problem with that weight, as long as you don't overdo it..

Re: Diet

Pasteurized cow's milk is the number one allergic food in this country. It has been associated with a number of symptoms and illnesses including:

Diarrhea
Cramps
Bloating
Gas
Gastrointestinal bleeding
Iron-deficiency anemia
Skin rashes
Allergies
Colic in infants
Osteoporosis
Increased tooth decay
Arthritis
Increased tooth decay
Growth problems in children
Heart disease
Cancer
Atherosclerosis
Acne
Recurrent ear infections in children
Type 1 diabetes
Rheumatoid arthritis
Infertility
Leukemia
Autism

http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/63483

Actually - allergies from milk occur equally between pasteurized and unpasteurized (please don't let the Weston A Price foundation/Mercola brainwash you into thinking otherwise)... It is the protein Casein that people become allergic too - and I don't believe it multiplies as it is heated up (if anything, heating up milk will destroy the amino acids)... The person who claims that raw milk causes less allergies is horribly mistaken.
Also, there are 59 hormones NATURALLY in milk - all intended for baby cows with natural growth hormones in it - like IGF-1, which exists naturally in milk. IGF-1 has been found to increase growth of cancer in human beings. It's important for baby cows to get this hormone because they need to grow quite a bit - but humans don't need that kind of growth hormone and it shouldn't be consumed in adulthood especially.
Also - a cup of carrot juice has the same amount of absorbable calcium as a cup of milk - this is because milk is almost void of magnesium which helps us absorb calcium - without it, the calcium is simply pissed out in urine. Also - too much calcium that is not absorbed has been linked to prostate cancer, another thing to consider.
Because milk is an acidic food, it actually doesn't help bone strength, if anything it causes bone weakness. What causes osteoporosis many times is eating too much meat/dairy/eggs and soft drinks - all of these things are highly acidic and for our bodies to neutralize our blood, we draw from our bones calcium or any caclium we eat doesn't even reach the bones if our bodies are too acidic.

-------------------------

they are many ways to get calcium if u eat fresh food u can have all the calcium and vitamins needed without drinking milk

Re: Diet

Wow, Kollop really doesn't like milk tongue

If you're worried about the fat in milk then just go for skimmed or semi-skimmed milk. I drink a glass a day plus the milk I have with my cereal at breakfast and I seem to be ok. If you know you've not got any allergy problems then it shouldn't be a problem - apart from the prostate cancer thing, and let's face it: no one wants that.

The rice is a good point though, either that or pasta/potatoes - there does seem to be a lack of carbs in there. Out of season though it may be, salad could be a good addition to the sandwiches?


On the whole though, so long as you balance what you eat, you shouldn't need to worry too much about it surely? Although obviously it is good to make a conscious effort

Re: Diet

yesterday I had a Jack in the Box pita pocket combo, with oj, then I had a quart of coffee, a cinammon roll, a box of sesame seed crackers, a chile verde burrito, some fried tortillas with avocado guacamole, a liter of coca cola, another quart of coffee, a half-gallon of beer and two dozen canned instant biscuits.

Re: Diet

if you replace the coke and beer , by say...water... tongue

my friend's trainer said: you can have all the stuff you want, just as long as it is something that expires after 3 days
in other words; fresh and hardly modified stuffs
i heard somewhere else: try to eat like yr granny did, in her time yogurt was just plain yogurt..try reading the ingredients on a pack of yogurt today..

if you have fruit and veggies like nolio said, and it feel expnsive, think of the unhealthy stuff you wont buy cuz you dont have the urge to have them anymore, in the long term that might save you more than you think

till the end of time..

Re: Diet

If you want to eat healthy, and not worried about any food allergies, just eat stone soup 3 times a day and take a multi-vitamin. You're good a gold.

Re: Diet

Pork is not unhealthy,

A good variety of Chiken fish and pork mixed in with as much vegetables as you can eat will provide a healthy cornerstone for anyones diet. If you have no problems with keeping your weight down, carbs like oatmeal, rice, pasta and potatoes are no problem  either..

Try to keep away from unhealthy transfat. That means especially all massproduced cookies etc, and anything deepfried.

Eat as little salt and sugar as you can. Mix in some ocational calcium from dairy produts, choose from milk, yogurt, cheese etc, just limit it if the said cheese or yogusrt has alot of fat/sugar

The key is not to eat super healthy, but to eat healty as often as possible, and not slip up after 2 weeks..

And oh, drink lots of water wink and masturbate regularily
