This is a good diet I guess but don't you get weak without any meat?? I wouldn't want to feel like a rabbit.
I eat plenty of meat. I don't worry much about the amount of food consumed either. You can eat every few hours or three big meals, whatever works for you. When you choose food, it is easier to be boring and eat the same type of food 5-6 days a week and vary it up the other days. You will discover new foods you never would have thought of trying otherwise and become better in the kitchen (A real plus if you ask Mrs. Wonder!!) There are plenty of imaginative ways to eat your vegetables, you just have to find the ones that you like. I stick to the following principles in my eating...
1. All of the lean meat, fish, seafood, eggs I can eat.
2. All of the non starchy vegetables I can eat.
3. Plenty of fruit
4. Moderate healthy fats
5. Moderate nuts and seeds
6. No grains or cereals at all
7. No dairy products (eggs count as meat)
8. No processed foods ? make it yourself!
9. No sugars. Agave, organic honey, molasses, pure spun golden sunshine?.it doesn?t matter. They are all equally bad for you.
10. No artificial sweeteners. These are not food! Creepy laboratory products with sketchy safety records, artificial sweeteners have been shown to produce an insulin response.
Fat is good for you. Fat is essential to your well being and happiness. Fat is a great source of energy. Fat triggers your sense of being full. Fat is an essential part of many of your cellular and hormonal processes. We sicken and die fairly quickly without adequate intake of essential fats.
However?.there are many bad fats in our food supply.
Fat from healthy animals is good for you! Chicken, duck, goose, lamb, beef and pork fat can all be eaten and is an excellent choice for cooking because of heat stability. Lard is internal fat from around the kidneys. Lard from naturally (not grain) fed pork and beef is a very good choice. Lard from grass fed animals is hard to find though, so butter can be used instead.
Most importantly, try everything and eat what you like. Don't force yourself to eat something because some diet tells you that you must. If you don't like it, don't eat it! There are plenty of options out there that are just as good...
Hope this helps...
