Ten Foods No Nutritarian Can Live Without
In the spirit of Emily’s last couple posts (about the indispensable smoothies that make this plan possible), I have today a list of the ten foods I could absolutely NOT do without in a healthy world. In a live-for-today-die-of-heart-disease-tomorrow world, I would just eat giant hamburgers until I croaked and be happy. But dead. … ...
The Great Weigh-In: Part 2
I’ve heard your requests! Here are the stats of what we have lost in lbs and inches since we began eating the nutritarian way 3 weeks ago. We are now beginning our 4th week—-half-way through our experiment. I keep on having really interesting conversations with friends about this healthy eating plan and I need to...
Lunch on a Typical Day
Lunch: Lunch is simple. Think: big! green! leafy! Basically lunch should be a HUGE amount of leafy greens in a salad. Plus some other yummy stuff, but salad is the main event. For convenience I like the spring-mix with spinach salads from the store that are ready to eat, but you can save a lot...
Breakfast and Snack on a Typical Day
I brought a smoothie to Joe-in-bed. Joe-in-bed is very cute, you should get one. He said, "Why are you so happy today?" I think it is just because I feel so good!
So, What Do You Eat on a Typical Day?
We’ll answer this question in 3 segments. Stay tuned!
July 4th, How Do We Party?
Our friends are having a BBQ Potluck, yippy! Wait! What will we do? We’ll be surrounded! Before we decided to do this whole big healthy eating kick, Joe and I already talked about this. We hoped our friends would still invite us over and not be scared or worried about hosting us. We certainly do...
Dear Diary of Food Related Stuff
11:08 am – I don’t think twice about taking off my shirt at Joey’s AquaTots “lesson” (basically some dads and moms sit in the kiddie pool with their children and the lifeguards come by and say, “Good job, Joey, high five!” whenever he gets a new part of his body wet). It’s not that I’m...
Cheats, Eats, Sleeps, Withdrawal: A Review of the First 3 Days
Today we begin our 4th day on this VegiCarni eating thang. Curious about how its been going so far? Here is the low down… Cheats: I’ve sneaked chocochips. Guilty. Got rid of those last night though, and consequently (I think) have suffered from a nasty headache a few hours after the 2 times I cheated....
Run Fast! Jump High! Swim Lots! Bike Far!
This is the time for us to make this kind of change. Roo is 5, and JoMax is 2, and they don’t know that Doritos are called Doritos, and they don’t know that after they go to bed we usually have a milkshake with chocolate raspberry chip ice cream and milk. Therefore, while the change...
What do you feed your kids?
So, Kory asked a great question: Are our kids on the same eating plan? Yes! Yes. And no. Basically they will eat the way we eat as long as they’re in our care (at home, traveling, picnic-ing, etc.). However, we will continue to buy them cow’s milk. Also, when at a friend’s house, or a...
Thoughts from Day 1
1. I need to stop using the word “vegan.” It freaks people out. Over the next few weeks I’m going to be testing out: “nutritarian,” “nutrient dense,” and “no fun,” as in, “So what’s this diet you’re on?” “Oh, it’s the no fun plan.” and “Grow up and get on the no fun plan! Stop...
The Six Week Plan
So, what is the plan anyway? Well, the basic idea behind it is that you should eat plenty of healthful, nutrient packed foods, and avoid foods that are high in calories but empty in nutrients. Makes sense, huh? But without a plan, I’m pretty sure I’ll be making brownies by the middle of the second...
