Day Two (for me) of Posting my Food. It is Monday!

Daylight Savings.  Wow.  I don’t really love that first work day of getting out of bed an hour earlier than your body feels you should!  But, I did it………an hour later than I was supposed to do…and, got Charly Kate to her school about 45 minutes after start time.  Not bad!

Protein ShakeBut, before I headed for my weekday morning ride with my eldest daughter, I drank another one of my famous Isagenix protein shakes at about 8 am.  The mixture didn’t change from yesterday.  So, I won’t go into it again.  But, let me tell you……despite this being my 2 millionth time of quickly downing the concoction, I enjoyed every drop of it and even lamented its final disappearance down my throat.  Mmmmm good.  (If you don’t do protein shakes, eat an omelet with some veggies and some fresh berries on the side of your plate……and, eat it all…….and, make sure you don’t even think about leaving out the egg yellows.  I would say 3 eggs is enough……maybe two.)

Protein ShakeWell, oftentimes, I would use my 10:30 hunger break to eat up an entire organic apple sliced into pieces and dipped into Raw Alive Almond Butter (www.livingtreecommunity.com).  Wow. Is that good or what? (More later on the topic).  But, today, I decided to drink another protein shake instead.  I knew I was doing CrossFit (www.crossfit.com) at the noon WOD (workout of the day).  And, I decided that my belly wanted that in it more than the fruit and almonds.  I must admit that the second time around was just as good as the one I drank at 8 am!  (If your tummy is not yearning for another protein shake, eat an apple with some almond butter for dipping.  Make sure it is raw almond butter with nothing in it but almonds.  And, make sure the apple is organic.  I assure you that your belly does not want pesticides or any other unnatural “make-your-apple-pretty” stuff in it.)

Protein ShakeWell, the Workout for the Day at CrossFit was very fulfilling.  And, although I thought REAL hard about heading for one of my favorite luncheon destinations (www.grandstreetcafe.com) to see if they had any fresh wild fish to serve me, believe it or not, my protein shake mixture was literally calling my name.  I notice this happens sometimes when my workout was hard enough to make me almost queasy…..sometimes the protein shake is just enough (but not too much) for such an after workout meal.  Either way, your body DOES need protein right after it exercises.  So, get something in there.  Perhaps you should have gone on to Grande Street without me.  Regardless, if you don’t want the protein shake, get yourself some meat and veggies…and, don’t be afraid to tell them to saute the veggies in REAL butter and olive oil!  What could be better than that?

IMG_4061As the afternoon wore on in my little upstairs safe haven of an office from the rest of the world, I started noticing that my body was calling for just a bit more sustenance than that which I had given it.  By rights, I should have pushed some fruit or similar through that eating door with the protein shake…your body needs some carb replenishment too….and, I had failed to do so.  (I had meant to grab a Trio Bar….www.mrsmays.com/….before I headed back upstairs.  But, I forgot.  If you exercised, you might want to do a bit better job of plan execution than I did and actually grab some fruit with your protein…or, grab the aforementioned Trio Bar.)  Since I failed to do either, it wasn’t too long (about 3:05 pm) when I realized that I was IMG_4062going to have to have a quick snack.  And, I headed downstairs for some apple slices and raw alive organic macadamia nut butter.  (http://www.livingtreecommunity.com)  I should mention here that, although it is true that the ratio of good fat to bad fat in macadamia nut butter is the best of any nut that God created, it is also true that is nearly the most expensive material that one can purchase on this planet.  $20 for an 8 ounce jar.  No.  I am not kidding.  It is good.  But, is anything really that good?  I wonder what that works out to for the tablespoon I ate this afternoon???!!!!  I will not be buying that again. Although Macadamia Nut Butter is VERY tasty….so is Raw Almond Butter…….and, for 1/3 the price, I think almond butter would have done the trick!

IMG_4067I am starting to think about dinner as I get close to the 5 o’clock hour.  And, I realize that my CrossFit workout took more out of me than I had realized.  Even with the calories that I have pushed into my body, I can see that I am simply NOT going to make it to dinner without a “tide-me-over” serving of something.  This time last year, it would be time to go looking for my favorite bag of chips.  About 30 of those would definitely have briefly satisfied my cravings and also spiked my insulin levels so high that the resulting glycemic crash would have me dying for dinner by the time it hit the table 90 minutes from now.  But, I don’t eat chips these days.  I haven’t thought about a chip in over two months.  I simply just don’t crave them anymore.  What I want are a handful of raw almonds…….and, as luck would have it, I know right where to find such a quantity of those.  Down the hatchet they go.  And, I am right as rain until dinner heads my way.

IMG_4071Time for Dinner!  And, I happen to live with the best chef in the world. (My beautiful wife, Angie Curry…..in case you were wondering!) Thank Goodness!  As I head down the stairs from my office to the kitchen, my noise picks up the scent of something very good cooking to put in my belly for dinner.  And, my nose was most definitely not wrong!  Upon entering the kitchen, I see that my lovely wife has two large saute pans completely full of vegetables.  One is brussel sprouts.  The other is zucchini and squash.  Both are cooking in coconut oil and REAL butter and probably some garlic and a bit of sea salt.  Why Coconut Oil?  Because it does better at not having funny little changes in its makeup when it gets real hot.  Olive oil is fine too.  But, my guru (Mark Sisson of www.marksdailyapple.com) says that Coconut oil is even better.  Why REAL butter? Because the other stuff will kill you in short order….and, make you fat along the way.  And, by the way, get organic butter from grass fed cows if at all possible.  (Yes. I know it cost 1 dollar more.  Skip that soda and/or flavored coffee you were going to get on the way to work tomorrow.  And, you will be ahead of the game.)

IMG_4066Along with the veggies, she has a special treat in the other saute pan…….fresh shrimp from Whole Foods Grocery.  And, believe it or not, it is also sauteing in coconut oil, real butter, fresh garlic, and a bit of sea salt.  I bet all of this is going to go down nicely………but, while I wait, I think I will pour us both a nice glass of red wine.  Red wine is about the lowest glycemic alcohol you can put in your body.  And, as it happens, it also is an anti-oxidant.  (We love anti-oxidants.  You should too.  But, you don’t have to drink red wine.  We have just found that we love to have ours as Angie finishes the mean preparation….and, as we IMG_4072eat that which she has prepared!)  By the way, don’t drink beer.  The glycemic index of one beer is greater than one large Snicker’s bar.  In other words, drinking a glass of beer spikes your blood sugar MORE than eating a Snicker’s Bar.  Do you really want that?

Now, look at all that food!  That is a freaking ton of veggies and butter going into my belly……along with a man sized portion of grilled shrimp.  After I finished eating all of that, my belly was full.  But, I did not experience any bloating.  IMG_4075And, if I had taken the time to run upstairs and measure my waist size, I bet it was the same as it was that morning.  Why?  Because of what I did NOT eat along with that fantastic dinner.  There is no bread mentioned, no rice, no baked potato, no pasta…….no grain, no wheat……you get the picture.

Well, maybe you don’t.  When I got done, this is what my belly looked like.  And, quite frankly, I am realizing that my belly looks no different than many many other bellies of folks that are “Just Eating What I Eat”!

IMG_4068I don’t normally “fast” at night after dinner.  But, I guess I did tonight….and, last night too.  I just didn’t want anything.  Nothing.  My hero, Mark Sisson, might say I could have had a little cheat with some 75% or greater dark cocoa chocolate.  But, I just didn’t want anything.  Whoops.  Almost told a fibber.  I just remembered seeing some of the girls left over dinner morsels on one of their plates as I was cleaning up……And, yes.  Strawberries didn’t look too bad.  Especially if they were going into the trash if I didn’t eat them.  So, I ate these two bites.  I know it was a bit late to be eating fruit.  But, I lived.  🙂

I grabbed myself a big water bottle full of iced water and drank it for the rest of the evening.  You might want to make a note to self:  Purchase a water bottle like David’s water bottle…..the one that has the cool top to it that does not require you to close it in between uses.  I love mine.  In fact, everyone in my family will fight to get one of the “good water bottles” instead of one of the old kind with the closing and opening tops.  We all love to carry them around.  And, I find that I feel very satiated in the evening if I drink from one of them.  In fact, it is my preference to whatever else I might have found in the pantry or the fridge.  

Another day down the chute……….Hope you enjoyed your food as much I enjoyed mine!

Your Friend,

David
