Eat Whole Foods

Got a new habit today:

Eat Whole Foods


what does this mean?

Note: Still try to

  • Do a 5-minute action where needed
  • Eat slowly
  • Stop eating when 80% full
  • Eat lean protein with each meal
  • Eat at least five servings of vegetables
  • Make "smart carb" choices
  • Plan PN-friendly meals
  • Be conscious of what you eat (although you don’t have to keep logging your intake)
  • Have a sleep ritual (and shoot for at least 7 hours of sleep per night)
  • Drink only non-caloric beverages
  • Use a targeted recovery strategy

 Whole foods include:

  • vegetables
  • fruits
  • meats and poultry
  • fish and seafood
  • nuts and seeds
  • beans and lentils
  • whole intact grains
  • minimally processed dairy (e.g. fresh plain yogurt)
Now, you can make things out of whole foods, and that still counts. For example:
  • If you make stew from fresh vegetables and meat — that’s whole food.
  • If you make an omelet from fresh eggs and fresh veggies — that’s whole food.
  • If you make a quinoa and mushroom pilaf — that’s whole food.
