You are as healthy as your weakest link. Eat right, treat your body like a sacred temple (not a wasteland) and it will shine like one.
Optimal diet:
MAIN (maximize)
sweet fruit (bananas, grapes, oranges, etc)
tender leefy greens (lettuce, celery, etc)
OTHER SNACKS & STUFF (minimize)
other veggies you can stomach like carrots
soft boiled broccoli
avocadoes a few time/week
nuts, seeds few times a week
DRUGS & POISONS (use at your own peril)
meat
salt
junk food
candy
soda
fried stuff
soy
grains
beans
legumes
heroin
alcohol
cigarettes
If you want to maintain weight you have to eat enough calories in proportion to your metabolism ie. how much energy you use e.g. working out, etc.
I would estimate that for average guy need 2000 calories/day to MAINTAIN weight. To get all those cals from fruit can seem like hard work and is actually very challenging in the beginning because our stomachs have shrunk and is used to compressed food which is the opposite of fruits and veggies.
What do I mean? Well, a slice of pizza has a lot of calories but that’s because it’s mostly fat (which has TWICE the amount of calories per gram then carbs or proteins) and it doesn’t contain any of the essential micro nutrients we need. (btw, carbs, fats & prot are MACROnutrients and vitamins,minerals,phytochemicals, fibre are micronutrients). So hence the term “empty calories”.
A big mac meal is almost 1000cals but there’s barely any nutritional value in it. But if you ate 1000cals of greens, you would be superman because all those cals are accompanied with all that other microstuff which makes us feel awesome when we get them. You may have heard of the paradox of how obese americans are actually simultaneously malnourished. Now you know why.
More cals does not mean better. That’s what the bodybuilders and pro atheltes don’t get. Look at Neil Armstrong, 10 time tour de france champ but he got cancer! Cancer is disease that comes from diet and environmental toxins, pollutants, etc.
Eat lots of bananas and dates which have lots cals/density. Their the easy route. Of course it’s better to eat a rainbow variety so you get as many different kinds of fruits as possible. There are hundreds of different fruits. Just not in Finland. We have about 3 haha. The rest you can get at stockman but they are expensive. Oddly enough, we don’t complain about expensive when it comes to our alcohol, cars, entry fees to clubs or new pair of jeans. Our value systems are pretty fucked up…
Most people shit a lot when they go on this and thus lose a lot of water weight. Don’t be surprised if you lose 10kg quite quickly. That is not muscle. Muscle cells break down very slowly.
Most people think going vegan means looking like you have aids. That’s not the fault of being vegan. That’s just not eating ENOUGH calories. The whole vegan thing is pretty stupid. Quit meat and health ensues? No way. Not so simple. Actually, most vegans are VERY unhealthy. Not much better then the carcass, road kill munchers. and drug addicts. junkies.
Some general guidelines:
* get majority of cals + vitamins from sweet fruit
* get majority of minerals + vitamins from greens
* drink ALOT of water throughout the day
* sleep/rest sufficiently
* stay active
* fresh air
* sunshine if possible
If confronted with other diets and paths, ask yourself “what do they provide that I am not getting from this.” The answer of course is, nothing, zilch, nada, fuck.all. If in doubt, go do some research and try to DISPROVE instead of prove what is right and wrong. People so easily fall into new diets and fads. and then defend them without questioning their own beliefs and values.
Okay, I think I will save this message and print it out for myself. I am done with putting shit into my system. We eat shit, we breathe shit (cigarettes), we think shit…. fuck, we ARE shit.
hope that helps.
feel free to ask questions
I’m starting this too.
Screw alcoholism. Fool’s path.
