What Do I Eat?

People often ask me what I eat.  I eat a gluten freeplant baseddiet.  I eat grains like amaranthoatmeal and quinoa.  I eat organic locally grown fruits and vegetables that are in season.  I head to the freezer section if I can't find enough fresh fruits and vegetables to complete my caloric needs for the week.  I also eat raw unsalted nuts and seeds.      

I drink filtered water and green tea mostly.  On occasion I will drink a glass of wine and or champagne.  I have noticed over the years that alcohol, even wine make me feel lethargic the next day.  When you eat clean you will immediately feel the consequences of eating and drinking crap.

I eat 3 meals a day with a snack.  I have my last meal 3 hours before I go to bed.  I find I do better when I set clear boundaries for myself.  Most people eat from the time they wake up until the time they go to bed. 

I have been eating this way for a while now, and I love how I look and feel.  Eating this way is very easy for me, but I do not try to push this on my clients. I do however stress the importance of eating real food, and staying away fromprocessed foods that are very high in calories, but offer very little nutrition.

When it is all said and done you make 1 of 3 choices with your food intake.  Lose weight, gain weight or maintain your current weight.  If you are happy with your current weight, then keep doing what you are doing.  If you want to gain or lose weight you must change your diet.
