It isn't really such a big deal as people are making it out to be. When I did it, I just ate like I always eat, but raw. E.g., bowl of turnip greens and a raw porterhouse steak. As a matter of fact, I still eat my steaks raw. They are so tender that way. It was something that stuck with me.

if you try to do everything that everyone in this thread will advise you to do, you will get overloaded and fail. So just do one thing. You don't have to be good; you just have to be better. For example, when I started I didn't do anything different other than make water my only drink. After that was no longer a challenge…

Hey Slim, it is really easy. I did daily 24:1 fasts for an extended amount of time (I would only eat a giant meal once a day). I have physiologist friends at the university and they say there are hormonal benefits to IF. I cannot confirm this, I didn't have myself tested but I will say that I did notice an increase of…

I would do nothing except drink some water and draw comfort from the fact that at least my lunch for tomorrow was already ready.

I have two jobs. In one "office" I load airplanes with a forklift, in the other I run a shipping department in a warehouse. I work 12.5 hour days and here's what I do: in my lunch pail I put a piece of meat (porterhouse steak, trout, 3 sausages from my charchuterie, chicken thighs) and 1 or 2 handfuls of vegetables (turnip…

Before attending these boards I had been with Precision Nutrition. Over there we never count calories. In fact, they don't believe counting is a "leverage point"--meaning that it is not worth the time-investment. So I've never weighed anything in my life. If you cared, you could look at my food blog and you would see that…

I've been off-and-on vegan most my life. I just ended a 6-year stint and I have a few words of advice. First of all, it is not rocket-science; don't overthink it. You used to eat steak and potatoes. Now you're gonna eat black beans and potatoes. Veganism is about what you don't eat; your health is about what you do eat.…

can't go wrong with skinless sardines. I love old fashioned sardines as well. But people who don't like fish have even liked the skinless sardines once I turned them on to them. As for sardines as a food choice. I like to ask myself "if I wasn't eating this, what would I be eating?" Often times, the alternatives are worse…

I agree. Buy a bag of pinto beans for $3 and you're good to go for a week. However, do you know what? I wouldn't respect Food Inc. (or any pusher/dealer) that didn't offer their junk for a pittance. It is just good business to get the junkies hooked. And they are hooked. Look at this site. The pivotal word is fitness, and…

When I was eating veganly for over six years one of my mainstays was seitan--basically patties you make from gluten flour. I also loved (and still do love) farinata which is a flatbread you make with chickpea flour and oil. Other than that I would normally just eat a cup of beans and vegetables, not exactly low-carb but…

uncookedchefy, I am not very conversant in grams and macronutrients; I understand food. Since people say I am rather healthy, I'll tell you what I eat to give you an idea of possibilities. To keep this short: I eat meat and vegetables. I don't eat pastries like bread. I don't eat anything processed. It is a real simple…
