RE: Your Daily eating Habits

[Guest guest]

I don't eat until 6 PM, when I have a large salad with quite a variety of goodies. It's focused on fresh green and cruciferous vegetables with others tossed in as well. Tomato and onion are always included too. I accessorize it from day to day depending on the ingredients I have available. For instance, I may add mushrooms one day but not another, radishes or sliced ginger one day but not another, etc.

If it is to be my only meal, then I may add an ounce of lowfat mozzarella cheese, an ounce or two of leftover baked chicken breast, 1 hard boiled egg, and 8 or 10 nuts (mixture of almonds, cashews, & hazelnuts). Occasionally I'll add a few beans if I happen to have them on hand. The dressing is a homemade balsamic vinaigrette with extra virgin olive oil. I often add a couple tablespoons of fresh salsa to spice things up (which I read about in BT120YD), and sometimes a bit of prepared horseradish.

If this will not be my only meal for the day, then I don't add the additional ingredients to the salad, but I may eat one or maybe even two items from the following list during the evening: 3 oz. chicken breast, a two-egg omelet, 1 oz. lowfat mozzarella cheese, 1 oz. nuts, or 3 oz fish (preferably sashimi).

Note there are NO breads, pastas, or grain/flour products whatsoever in my diet. Fruit is an occasional treat but not a staple. If you look at the USDA food guide pyramid, I've completely wiped out the bottom row. I never ever consume sugars or sweetened drinks - other than an occasional diet soft drink. I do make use of Splenda in my salad dressing - or if I need an occasional beverage sweetener.

Of course, there are days when I mix in other items for variety, but this is my standard diet. It's about 1200 calories and comes out reasonably well balanced on DWIDP. I don't supplement at all, and have been very healthy and energetic since settling on this combination. I never get colds and have boundless energy. I could go on and on about the benefits and the major change in biomarkers I've experienced, but heck, you've heard all that before.

For me, this regimen is very easy to maintain. It fits with my lifestyle and my natural hunger patterns. Now I seldom get hungry during the day, even when I'm involved in strenuous sports activities. Prior to CRON I ate the traditional 3 hearty meals a day plus snacks, but was nevertheless ALWAYS desperately hungry.

Best,

Lee

Lee, I'm wondering how long you've been on this eating pattern

of not eating until 6 PM.

mozzarella

> cheese,

So are you meaning by this that any other food you eat would be

later than this 6 PM meal? I'm just questioning this as I've been

led to believe - as I'm sure most people have - that small

frequent meals are advisable. It would be nice to find out I've

been wrong on that.

Sorry I missed the fish on the first reading.

I commend you for your ability to adhere to such a strict regimen. It

would be way too low in calories for me and I get nauseous if I don't eat

all day, so obviously a one meal a day plan is not for everyone. But to

each his own! Each CRONIE must tailor his/her own way of eating afa timing

and calories. One size does not fit all.

I'm not consistent, but this week I'm shooting for 5 meals spaced throughout

day. Food is always changing... Todays foods were:

1) Sm scoop of protein powder (whey & smattering of aminos), 1 dollop

predigested collagen (CherAmino), sprinkle flax seeds, 1/4 cup blueberries,

add water & stir. Also, 1/2 c aloe vera + water + lemon juice concentrate

+ sucralose.

2) Large salad, w/ low fat dressing + vinegar + Mrs Dash, and apple.

3) Next is 3 oz chicken breast, chopped mixed with Nayonaise, mustard, ketchup,

strawberries, 1 slice gluten free bread;

4) next meal Imagine brand Cream of Mushroom soup and apple

5) Ground turkey mixed with Nayonaise, mustard & ketchup, spiced. sweet

potato with fake butter on top, half cup soy milk, half Endulge sugar free

bar.

I don't try to be perfect... I'm more successful at not being perfect :-)

[Guest guest]

Lee - seems really low in calcium.

It's always a struggle for me to get the RDA so I've been adding

yogurt and whey protein and I still come up short most days.

I often skip a meal or two to bring down the calories. Sometimes

it's breakfast and lunch, other days it's dinner. But it's easier

for me to get the optimal nutrition eating breakfast and lunch only--

because am more in control of the meal prep.

Breakfast is 2 tbs rice bran, 2 tbs oat bran with 1/2 cup yogurt and

1/2 cup mixed blueberries and blackberries sprinkled with cinnamon.

Sometimes a tablespoon of whey.

Lunch is usually a mixed green salad with everything I have in the

fridge thrown in - this week it's spinach, dandelion, celery,

broccoli stalks and sprouts, home-made dried tomatoes (really

yummy!), pumpkin seeds, a little feta, carrot, balsamic vinegar and

flax seed oil. An oyster on a whole grain cracker supplies most of

the minerals I'm missing.

This is about 1,000 calories and overdelivers on everything but

calcium on the DWIDP so I might have yogurt or a glass of milk when

I get home from work.

If I'm eating dinner in addition to lunch and breakfast, I omit the

oil, cheese, and seeds in the salad and eliminate the oyster and

cracker. Or keep them all in and end up at 1,500 for the day.

Francesca,

Thank you.

I was diagnosed as diabetic 4 years ago. Determined to defeat it, I spent the first year refining my diet until I arrived at the combination I posted earlier, which I have maintained since. I keep a journal of the foods I consume as well as exercise, energy levels, weight, blood sugar levels, and so on. The journal helped me discover how to gain complete control of my blood sugar levels, which are now completely normal without any need for medication. Of course, I've enjoyed all the other typical CR benefits as well.

I don't necessarily advocate the same method or eating schedule for others. I know it works wonders for me, given my genetics, lifestyle, activity level, and so on. That doesn't mean it will apply to someone else. As you so wisely stated, I believe each CRONIE must tailor his or her own eating plan and schedule, without violating Dr. Walford's basic tenets.

Best regards,

Lee

You have a good point on the Calcium and I will address this as I make adjustments to my diet.

I was interested to read about your diet. It sounds delicious!

Peg -

I've been on that schedule about 3 years. Before that I gradually lengthened the fasting period of the day to see how it would affect me. I kept a journal to record all meals, exercise, biomarkers, energy levels, and so on, which helped me tailor my eating patterns.

You're correct - any other foods are consumed after the 6 PM meal. I know the research of which you speak. Well, actually, I don't know of any validated hard research; maybe others on the list do. But I know of many nutrition books, diet gurus, and traditional medical practitioners who espouse that position. All I know is that it doesn't work that way in MY body, MY lifestyle, MY diet. I am quite active athletically and often go all day at high energy levels while those who've eaten breakfast and lunch or energy snacks fall behind. I don't necessarily advocate my method for others. What I do advocate is to keep a journal when you experiment with new foods or eating patterns. This way you can learn exactly what works for YOU, regardless of the confusing and often incorrect literature and advice floating around on the subject of nutrition.

Best regards,

Lee

I usually eat three 500 calorie meals. That's the template, anyway. I am

never very strict about when and what as long as I get the basic nutrients I

need within a basic 1,500 calorie day.

OTOH, I do have some " tried and true " meals that I keep coming back to

simply for simplicity's sake, especially WRT breakfast because I seldom

have much imagination when I just get up. Breakfast is almost always

oatmeal and fruit (usually a cut-up banana) and a cup of coffee. Also, i'm

not afraid to use sugar in moderation, and will sometimes put a tsp. in my

coffee or sprinkled over the oatmeal if I'm feeling a need to indulge

myself. Today, I was feeling extra extra indulgent, and had a half a bar of

chocolate with another cup of black coffee.

I usually do my modest workout after breakfast, and then I'm out on my

rounds for the day, which usually involves a lot of brisk walking (I really

should get a pedometer to find out how much, but I digress).

My favorite lunch is a fresh tomato and cucumber salad. One serving

consists of two tomatoes and two small cucumbers (unpeeled) cut into small

cubes. I add one quarter chopped onion, and about 40 grams of cubed goat

cheese. Oil, vinegar, and salt to taste. That doesn't give much protein

altogether, though, so I alternate/include that with canned pink salmon on

dark bread. The great thing about the canned salmon is that it is not only

high in protein and good fat, but the bones are a great source of calcium.

Dinner is something I'm still working out. Often I get home late (after

nine) and am not too hungry, but am usually short of calories and nutrients

if I haven't had my last meal. I'm trying to keep a supply of chicken and

vegetable soup on hand in the fridge for times like that. I also enjoy wine

with or following my last meal of the day, though not everyday, and

sometimes beer for a special treat.

I'd just like to chime in in agreement with the others that the ultimate

arbiter of what is " right and wrong " in your diet is *your* body. One thing

that you'll find with the the most successful Cronies (I've found) is not

that they all follow the same rules slavishly (apart from the common sense

ones), but that they are all very careful about keeping track of not only

what they eat and how much, but how their bodies respond. They then adjust

accordingly.

One thing I think you *won't* find on this list, is a lot of respect for

Conventional Wisdom, as it relates to nutrition. Walford was a rebel in a

lot of ways, and most Cronies seem to have a streak of that in them, too.

I think most of us have been around long enough to see the Pendulum of

Nutritional Orthodoxy swing back and forth enough to know that what

nutritionists and fitness people say is the Last Word on something today,

seldom is tomorrow.

Lee,

I seem to feel more energetic if I refrain from eating in the

mornings. In fact I've felt the best both mentally and physically

when I was required to fast for a couple of days - for

colonoscopy. Being indoctrinated - up to now - about the

frequent small meals I feel absolutely guilty when not eating

breakfast but I'll get over it I'm sure.

I've also just been diagnozed as hypothyroid and am on a small

dose of Synthroid. I have read that soy is to be avoided but that

coconut oil is especially helpful for this condition.

BTW I'm an OLD OLD lady and was doing pretty well until I

gained about 10 extra pounds so now it's back to the drawing

board. I have also read that any weight reduction must be done

gradually when one is old.

Thanks for your imput. I will do what you suggest - keep a

journal.

Canary Peg

BTW Whey costs 30 Euros ($36) for 750 grams (just under 2

lbs) here in the Canaries. I cant find flax seeds or the oil

anywhere here.

I try to eat every four-five hours to keep glucose/insulin serum

levels consistent. Due to the mounting scientific evidence about

insulin's role in pro-aging, I avoid eating all high insulinic foods

and eat roughly 1500 calories a day. I'm a holdover vegetarian for

hygiene purposes, so I eat non-instant oatmeal, homemade semolina

bread, semolina pasta, raw milk-grass fed cheeses, undenatured

protein powders (CFM whey, micellar caseine), raw or steamed

vegetables, unprocessed EV olive oil, occasionally some meat and I

would eat whole, farm-raised fresh eggs if I weren't allergic to

them. I hate the smell and taste of seafood.

I generally prefer to drink my vegetables broken down raw as there's

more nutritional density. I avoid all fruits (including carrots,

peas, potatoes, corn, tomatoes) as they're all high insulinic, except

for berries, apples and oranges. To make up what's lacking

nutritionally (especially antioxidants), I take raw, ultra-

concentrated superfood supplements, fish oil and borage oil as well

as fiber and digestive enzymes. I no longer ingest any synthetic

vitamins and minerals as the evidence seems to me to be conclusive

they are a colossal waste of money with very poor assimilation and

bioavailability. I also take Resveratrol for favorable gene

expression and Relora/Sensoril to reduce my chronically high cortisol

levels from the caloric restriction. As for non-sugar sweeteners, I

use stevia as the synthetic ones are all high-insulinic. I aim to

add on metformin again and also AGE-blockers/destroyers as finances

permit.

I tend to eat carbs, proteins and fats singly at each meal. I've

read that this way of eating is less taxing on digestive enzymes

as hydrochloric acid production slows down with age - probably

not with you CR'ers - I need all the help I can give myself ;-) This

way of eating is no problem for me as I'm living alone.

Do you recall Dr Fuhrman saying exactly WHAT was unhealthy about the body being in constant digestion?

Let's weigh the "strain" of constant digestion versus the "strain" of not eating.

Regarding many small meals during the day...Dr. Fuhrman says that it is healthier to eat fewer times becausedigestion puts quite a strain on the body. It is not healthy for the bodyto be in a constant state of digestion. He also says "eat only whenhungry" so if waiting until 6:00 pm is when a person is hungry and readyto eat ....that's a good thing.Debbie
