Jiu Jitsu as a lifestyle, not a sport: Nutrition?

[Jay Chow]

Yeah, that's the main problem I'll be facing. I won't really enjoy having my dinner as wheat bread with olive oil and tomatoes every night!

That's another thing, something which Jason brought up. Hemp Protein? Whats the best thing to supplement a good diet with. Popovitch says protein shake, I've heard lots of good stories about Hemp Protein being the best one out of the lot, and having the fruit with natural yogurt and the hemp as a whole shake sounds better than eating fruit and yogurt separately.

the popovitch diet seems interesting, he is super ripped he must know something about nutrition. I do something similar to the gracie diet that based on food combinations.

Any ideas out there for somebody who eats absolutely no vegetables? My diet fairly rubbish, still in school so at lunch I'd eat junk food and all that stuff, recently I've tried eating healthier though, any ideas?

minced garlic, olive oil, salt, pepper... toss a bunch of vegetables in that, then stick them under a broiler or on a grill until they start browning. I haven't tasted a vegetable that didn't taste good that way (though I wouldn't try broccoli or cauliflower). I can't stand steamed or boiled vegetables, insanely bland.

There's a great dipping sauce you can throw together while the veggies are cooking. It's butter, balsamic vinegar, and a little bit of soy sauce and maybe one dash of Worcestershire sauce if your soy sauce sucks (mine does, it's kikkoman).

[Joshua Jarboe]

Yeah, I second grilling! You can also marinate stuff in various off the shelf dressings before it goes on the fire if you want to go really simple. Toss on some lean meat, add some rice from a rice cooker (rice cookers are ridiculously simple and pretty freakin good at making good rice), and you've got a nice meal.

To be clear you don't grill the rice.

Oh, I used to have problems picking vegetables. I would just stare at the produce section and imagine all the random stuff I could make and get nowhere. Now though, I just buy whatever is on sale. Actually eating healthy food is pretty expensive so just let the prices guide what you eat and it can actually be an affordable endeavor.
