Ok. It all makes sense now.
Good luck.
Thanks. It's been a total life commitment. A commitment that I wouldn't wish on anyone not a member of the Taliban. To give 'yall an idea:
6AM wake up and down a couple of herbs beneficial to my circumstances with a full glass of water. The water washes out whatever food residue left in the stomach and small intestine. 2 cups of black coffee (because I like it) as my body adjusts to wakefulness.
7:30AM Breakfast of spinach omelette lightly cooked in butter with an avocado. Overcooking the yolk is a waste. It depletes the needed fatty acids. Forget about the protean value of the whites. You get all you need in a day from other plant and meat sources. Never, but never cook with canola oil. Put it on your salad if you don't like olive oil.
There's a misconception about
breakfast being the most important meal. It IS, but for this reason: your immune system is in repair and rest mode during sleep. It needs fuel to get up and running. Eat a hearty breakfast...all you want as a matter of fact. But no dessert after eating breakfast or ANY meal. You want dessert? Eat it before the main course. And get this: do not eat breakfast until you feel hunger. The longer your gut rests the more it self repairs. That's why people fast, whether they know it or not.
8AM 10 minutes of hard and fast exercise to hasten glucose to the muscles for (where you need it most)
NOON My favorite meal. Big salad with a small added carb left over from last night's dinner. Vinegar or lemon juice are a must. (If you must have a creamy dressing then just drink the shit straight from the bottle and forget about it)
12:30PM 10 minutes of hard and fast exercise followed by a half an hour of a more leisurely workout.
6PM Dinner of 1 part carb, 1 part meat and 2 parts fresh green veggies.
6:30PM 10 minutes of hard and fast exercise followed by a half an hour of a more leisurely workout.
7:30PM 2 or more rum and green tea's with a bowl O' weed, depending how buried the Cardinals or Bulls are by then.
9:30-ish Small snack to keep blood my sugar from dipping, then sleep.
3AM wake up and eat a small bedside snack to keep my blood sugar from dipping.
6AM Repeat.
This my daily routine. Nothing gets in the way of it. No work, no pussy, no life. I did it to myself with years of self abuse and neglect. I'm cool with it though. What other choice is there?
Never fry when you can bake. Never boil when you can steam. Never over-cook food. Don't overwork your system by eating too many raw, hard to digest foods. Cooked foods are what took the energy load off our gut to process the nutrients that allowed more fat to enlarge our brain.
Don't go vegan. They suffer from B12 shortage. (found only in meat) Unless you live near the Equator take vitamin D in the winter months. D is not like other vitamins. Some others you can exclude completely with no ill effects. D acts as a catalyst to release enzymes from other vitamins that won't work without it. (look it up)
