Q: You probably have to eat special foods that cost a ton of money?
A: Nope, it's regular food. Only I'm eliminating the overly processed from my diet... so by "regular" food I mean real food.
Q: Is the trick to go no carb? Or is it no meat? Or is it nothing but chicken and lemon for weeks on end?
A: Meats, grains, breads, dairy, all sorts of flavors are on my plate.
Q: But probably in micro-portions?
... and so on!
Julian is an Italian man who loves good food. He also takes a commonsense approach to nutrition consulting (read more about it here).
In this entry I decided to show, rather than tell. So last Sunday I took pictures of what I ate for a 24 hour period. Click on each photo to see it in all of its glory.
Breakfast:
1 serving of multigrain granola with 1/2 cup of skim milk. An orange. Black coffee.
Mid-morning snack:Raw walnuts with chunks of Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, dipped in honey. More filling than you would think, and the perfect blend of savory and sweet.
Lunch:
Hummus, green onions, and shaved carrot sandwich. On Niedlovs Four Seed bread (so healthy, so delicious). 1/2 an ear of corn.
Mid-afternoon snack:
This yellow pepper. Simply sliced it up and enjoyed.
Dinner: Palm-size piece of NY strip, grilled. Trimmed that fat off, of course! Served with snap beans and new potatoes cooked with Alchemy Spice lemon pepper, in a bit of olive oil. A small glass of red wine.
And all day, every day I drink lots and lots (and lots) of water.
Could I eat more? Sure, I could cram it in... like I used to do.
But you can see that I'm not hurting for quantity, or quality, or flavor.
