Da helfy food

I'm a fatass but the things I constantly hear as subs for most common simple carbs are quinoa and lentils. It's hella easy to adapt a rice cooker or existing recipes to either, and they add some protein and complex carbs to the mix.

I too weigh over 300lbs, but sv3rige has convinced me to stare at the sun and eat rotten meat. As as side effect it seems to have cured my congenital autism.

There is so much crap in processed foods and "snacks" and soda and all that garbage, that I really don't think one has to worry too much about the amount of oil they use to cook their chicken and veggies, especially if it's a healthy oil like olive oil.
Obviously always keep portion size in mind, but as far as I'm concerned cutting out the "junk" is by far more important than trying to shed 100kcal off a meal by skimping on the fats.
Besides, your body needs healthy fats and a fiber & fat -heavy diet is a great way to keep the hunger away if you're trying to lose weight.

As far as snacks go I like apples and cashews, though you've gotta be careful since since it's easy to eat 3000kcal worth of cashews in a day. In moderation though they're actually very healthy. I also like herbal teas when I feel like drinking something other than water. If I'm snacking for genuine nutritional purposes rather than as a treat I usually eat a banana and some yogurt or cottage cheese right out of the carton with maybe some nuts. Chia seeds are good too. If I'm real lazy I'll just chug down raw oats with water, coupled with some protein it'll keep you satiated for hours.

For breakfast I eat bowl of oatmeal and a source of protein and a source of fat every day. That might be yogurt and an avocado or cottage cheese and some nuts. I also drink a glass of whole milk, the kind of raw whole milk that's unhomoginized, untreated, organic, straight out of a cow's tit. For one it tastes fucking amazing, but secondly it has tons of nutrients and healthy fats missing from more processed milks.

Personally I believe in dietary supplements in a "better safe than sorry" type of way. They're not necessary by any means, but I'm not planning my daily diets so carefully as to be certain I could never use more of some micronutrient. If you're lifting, magnesium and zinc are crucial. A multivitamin is nice to have, but keep in mind they are not created equal, and what it says on the package is only half the story. As a rule of thumb the smaller and more "pill-like" it is, the worse it is usually absorbed in the body. Look for capsules whenever possible, they absorb better. Fish oil capsules for Omega 3 or straight up fish oil if you're hardcore. That's about it, unless you take a blood exam and find out you lack iron or whatever.

I don't know how people eat quinoa or brown rice though, might as well eat gravel!

Seasoning. And I don't mean pouring some mayonnaise-based "wok sauce" that's 50% sugar over anything, I mean actual spices. Buy them, learn to cook with them. Spices don't have any calories unless you're using some shitty spice mix, in which case it might contain added sugar, and you shouldn't buy that one.

You can make amazing dishes with just brown rice, chicken and veggies if you know how to use seasoning. It also helps you avoid that feeling of "eating the same thing over and over again" because two dishes using two different types of veggies and spices can taste completely different. Same with fish or red meat. Fish is great, and there's literally nothing wrong with red meat as long as you're eating good cuts. The problem with a red meat -heavy diet isn't the meat itself, it's that people who eat a lot of red meat also tend to eat a lot of processed crap laden with salt and additives.

I settled on carnivore and haven't looked back(4~ years with minor breaks). I tried everything for a pretty long period of time, and I've never had as much energy or mental clarity as eating a simple diet of meat, water, and coffee.

I’m settling back into this after a few month break.

It will be nice to be able to breathe again and not have to take a fuckton of antihistamines and medications like I have been.

I’ve got my beef for the next few days.

Thank you for mentioning this way of eating. It gets a lot of flak and it really shouldn’t.

I've regretted every single one of my breaks within a week. It's amazing how before the diet, most of us just live bloated and tired.

I’ve just started a new regimen on January 1st which I think is pretty healthy and I’m enjoying it a lot!

I skip breakfast and drink plenty of water and ginger tea. Then I eat 2 equal sized meals over the day, each containing 3-4 servings of vegetables, a complex carb, 1-2 proteins like shrimp, fish or chicken with beans, and a sauce/dressing. I eat the second one as my post-workout.

When I like, I swap out one of my meals for a big bowl of oatmeal and if I don’t add too many toppings I can have a second course, (with a high water content) like eggs florentine or vegetable soup. When it gets warmer I will likely switch oatmeal for smoothie bowls, frozen yogurt/ blended banana ice cream or make a grazing board.

Tonight for dinner I actually had a vegetarian meal and it was very nice. I made a dressing with tahini and dijon mustard and with it I had a baked sweet potato, 2 eggs, garbanzo beans (pan fried with paprika and a little maple syrup), 2 handfuls of chopped baby spinach and some thinly sliced red cabbage. It felt like a very substantial amount of food, very filling and was around 600 calories.
