I am terrible and certainly no example. I really need to sort my diet out. Big time.
I eat 4 meals a day. My breakfast, lunch and dinner, and at night times at around 8.30pm i pig out on junk food/takeaways and shit. I walk around at 84kg/185lbs.
Going to go back on a modified paleo diet again soon though. :-)
One meal a day. I walk around at 170ibs
that cant be good for your metabolismQuote:

I had the worst metabolism ever...I was 245 tryin' to lose weight, and every meal made me gain tons no matter what I did. Saw fat sick, and nealy dead, tried it for 16 days, dropped 45, started the insanity dropped to 185, then kept up with jiu jitsu, and strength, and conditioning, and now I'm 170. There's still a fat boy in me so I end pig out on rare days like theres no tomorrow, but its really bad for training when I do so I try not to eat too much..Quote:

Also I hear weight training, and high intensity interval, and cardio training is good for metabolism..So that combined with watching your calorie intake should maks one do well right? :)
I carb back load 6 days out of 7 in the week, with one cheat day. Three protein meals during the day, and then a carb and protein post workout meal. When I was power lifting, I just ate anything that couldn't run away, and now I'm trying to get down to a sensible weight for grappling.
Dude your english teacher must be a meth head lolQuote:

Once you cut that shit out of your diet for a couple weeks your leptin functions will return to normal and you (A) will not crave junky shit food and (B) feel full when you eat enough nutrients to satiate your body, which is a LOT LESS FOOD than the bullshit we "Modern day" people are used to eating.

2) Can you give me your recipe for your kale shake please? All the ones I have tried taste like vomit.
As for the original question, I eat all day long, munching. This morning I had eggs and ham. I will eat sardines for lunch with a large salad. Probably around 3 or so I will eat another can of sardenes. Tonight at about 6 I will eat a large chunk of some sort of animal meat, with steamed veggies and a protein shake. Then Jiu Jitsu. Then recovery drink (Paleo solution book provides recipies) and through the evening I will munch on raisins because they immediately help to rebuild/repair damaged muscle tissues and they are alkaline, which will counteract the acidity of the other food I have eaten throughout the day and the net acid effects of exercise, plus they are high in glycemic load.
I'm not trying to sound super-educated on this, I am just reading a lot about it and if I type it it will help me remember better.
EDIT to add - Also I should add that I always take a protein shake first thing in the morning with a Vita-Freak pack. I eat unlimited fruit all day and evening as well.
I'm experimenting with intermittent fasting and feel much sharper during the day without breakfast to weigh me down. Sleep quality seems to have improved as well. Anybody else have experience with IF?
Some raisins will not counter the acidity of all the acidic food you ate....even considering the fruit, rice and steamed veggies. Thats about the same as eating a banana to counter the super size big mac meal. As for starch, if it is from a real whole food source it's less of a worry because of the fibre....similar to fruit.
kale recipes...I find the secret for me is either frozen berries or frozen mango, helps to mask the taste. From there it's whatever you like. Avocado and bananas help thicken, cucumbers give a "refreshing" taste, etc...
I have about 2 months of experience with IF and a co-worker of mine has been doing it for about 5 months. I find it extremely important to start in the morning, so I still eat breakfast. Breakfast is by far the most important meal of the day and if you break it down:
"Break" and "fast" you are breaking your intermittent fast. I usually start eating about an hour after I actually wake up and then consume food for about 6 or 8 hours. After that point, I will drink only water and unsweetened herbal tea. I fond it to really help me appreciate the food I was eating. I did not notice much, if any, difference physically. I still felt very good.
I eat spinach, at least one banana, raw nuts, keifer, oatmeal and flax meal almost every day. Most of the food that I consume is raw. I use a whey protein isolate as my protein supplement. I do not eat very much meat but when I do it is generally good quality.
The raisins HELP to counter the acididty.Quote:

"Carbohydrate remains very important at this stage of recovery, but the difference is inclusion of more solid foods, especially starchy vegetables that are high on the glycemic load scale while having a net alkaline-enhancing effect on body fluids. Good choices include potatoes, yams, and sweet potatoes, as well as dried fruits, especially raisins. These are excellent to snack on or even make a meal of during Stage IV recovery because they have the greatest alkaline-enhancing effect of any food studied while also having a high glycemic load. That means a great amount of carbohydrate is delivered to the muscles quickly, which is more valuable at this time than having a high glycemic index."
Stage IV recovery is the remaining time equivalent to the duration of your exercise, minus the initial first half hour immediately after exercise. That first half hour after class is stage III recovery time, and your dietary needs are different at that time then they are during the other hour and a half of Stage IV recovery. (Assuming you have a 2 hour class)
Regarding your Kale shakes, how much kale do you put in?
I'm not looking to argue, I'm just saying it's not enough. As for the claim that raisins are the most alkaline enhancing food study is just plain wrong. If you're trying to go alkaline it needs to be about an 80/20 alk/acid split....with that much meat you are too far acid for the raisins to really do much.
As for kale...usually 3 or 4 big leafs worth...I usually tear the leafy part from the stem too
Meh, I am still learning all this paleo/nutrition stuff.
What is more alkaline enhancing then raisins then? I ask because I have been eating them by the shovel full on training nights, and I could use a change.
broccoli, spinach, kale, cucumber...google alkaline foods, you can find a bunch of different charts. Some break down which are more/less, some just a general list.
