As you see, my diet is pretty simple: meat, eggs, vegetables, fish, and cheese on occasion. I do take a multi vitamin on most days and sometimes take an additional 200-300 IU of vitamin D, depending on anticipated time spent in the sun.
Some of you might think that I eat too much meat and fat and not enough carbohydrates. If that's the case for you, I strongly recommend reading Mummy Says John Horgan is Wrong about Fat and Carbs in Food, a recent article on Scientific American, to get a basic understanding of the health benefits of a high fat, low carbohydrate diet.
I don't think you are eating too much meat or fat and not enough carbs - sounds good what you eat to me, but why aren't you eating breakfast ? Or is that when you were fasting ? I don't fast but have similar diet to you, though I don't eat sausages ! Always real meat...I hope those were organically made sausages ?
ReplyDeleteHi Anne,
ReplyDeleteI usually incorporate my fasts by eating an early dinner or by having my first meal later. I do eat early on some days, depending on the intensity of my morning work schedule and when I work out.
The sausages are organic. The chicken sausages were a gift from someone. Usually I just eat pork sausage.
Interesting. Would this be considered paleo?
ReplyDeleteI like the simplicity. Looks quite good, except that I am not impressed with the amount of patties and sausages. I get it, though, they are quick and easy to prepare.
Hi Floriana,
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't consider this hardcore paleo, with the coconut oil, cheese, and sausages. The beef patties are in my diet often, but the sausages were just something I was having in that one week period.
