[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I eat a boiled egg, one bowl of oatmeal with a banana and pecans in it for breakfast.

For lunch and dinner, 30 minutes before - eat a large bowl of 1/3 cucumber, 1/4 lettuce, handful of mixed greens, 5-6 grapes, 1/2 tomato, 1/2 carrot, 1/3 apple - drizzle with chaat masala and lemon juice before every meal.   Then I drink 1/2 glass of inulin water with 1 tsp chia seed in it. After that 1/2 cup of spiced buttermilk.  Everything is organic.     After that I eat whatever I want to eat. Burger and fries? Sure. Cheesecake? Absolutely.    However, my portions become very small because my stomach is so fun. [/quote]

I love salads but you lost me at inulin water and chia seeds. With all that salad, which is great, there is absolutely no need for additional supplementary fiber unless you have a medical condition requiring it (which you might so I sincerely mean that).

Don't get me wrong, I eat a ton of salads and often huge ones, but I would lose my mind eating this much volume in such a regimented way. It is OK to eat a burger or cheesecake sometimes without forcing yourself to eat 4 other healthy things first either out of routine or because you feel you have to moderate portions with it.

You are wrong - I take chia for its superfood qualities and as source of stable energy throughout the day.   I take inulin as a prebiotic for my gut biome and to keep my blood sugar stable throughout the day. I also replenish my gut bacteria with the homemade prebiotic buttermilk  drink  that I drink.  That is why I do not have more than 4 ounces of each drink.  So, lots of veggies, fluids, fiber, probiotics.  No need to eat HUGE quantities of anything. You have to be balanced in your approach.  Most importantly, I am not using any processed salad dressings which are mostly unhealthy.  Sticking to spices and lemon juice makes my food more alkaline too.

I don't find that regimented because I can actually eat any food that I want, eat out with friends etc without feeling starved or unnecessarily feel bloated with fiber.   That may be because of cultivating good gut biome with my food choices. The bonus is that many of my minor skin issues like dryness, flakiness, acne has disappeared. I have a glowing complexion and thick, healthy and glossy hair.

Of course, everyone is free to eat whatever they want.  What works for me may not work for others,  But, this is the main diet tweak that has significantly changed my health, energy level and physical appearance in a few short months. [/quote]
