My meal plan is very simple. I follow zerocarb (meat and eggs only, no vegetation of any kind) and eat once a day only. Meals are always 3 or 4 eggs with 1 kg of steak, lamb, goat, or duck. I only drink water or Perrier. And before you ask, no, I do not get bored with a rare ribeye and eggs 4 nights a week. I realize this approach is "out there" for most people, but over the last year it has produced great results in reaching my body fat percentage goal and increasing my lifts (Greyskull LP). I have no sugar cravings, no glucose crashes, and no hunger during the day. It was difficult on two fronts: weaning myself off a carb rich diet, and then switching to 2 meals a day, and eventually 1 meal a day. To be clear, I'm not recommending anyone switch to intermittent fasting or zerocarb without reading the rationale and critique of those two approaches. I have spent considerable time reading and experimenting over several years, and this is where I ended. I have put my parents on the same regime, and in the last six months their health considerably improved. They miss fruit, but my father is near diabetic and cannot tolerate any sugar, even "natural" sugars from fruit. And contrary to popular belief, fiber is not required if you eat meat only. It is probably recommended if you eat vegetables, but I have consumed pretty much zero fiber for almost a year now and it works fine. Once again, don't take my word, but rather read the origins of why fiber is considered important, and then a critique of that assessment. |
