KEITH'S EASY "OPTIMUM" NUTRITION DIET
VIRTUALLY NO TIME, SIMPLE


(As of 4/17 [at a young 74, who most of his life was fairly poor at this], various old versions represent part of the trial-error-learn progression.)

(I'm not "prescribing" this, as you should always consult a diet on significant changes.  Also, this is just for "ideas" for you to use, modify, or choose not to do.)

































































2-3 cups of coffee (Freeze-dried), added green tea extract and 20 drops of pH distiller, part of a tsp of Stevia, one calcium antacid tablet.

No, in my studies, "treats" or "treat days" aren't necessary and don't work so well. 


JUST A "MODEL" TO UTILIZE

In all of your learning, you should make sure what is true and adjust for what will work for you.  It is, I think obviously, useful to see what other successful people do in the areas that they are successful in.

It took me awhile and several iterations (trial and error back and forth) to arrive at this very different diet for myself AND to assure that it was a doable diet and one which took minimum (useless) time!

I think that it is imperative that each person assure that they have an excellent diet and other health routines if they are to live long "feeling good", high energy, disease-free lives.  How could anyone settle for less??? 

So, it is your chance to be smart about all of this and to assure you are following some excellent routine AND that you are at the optimum weight, blood pressure, and blood sugar balance - settle for nothing less!



Consultant

I now use a vegan physician's assistant (paid for out of pocket) to point out (and try out) what to do.

Under my health organization, 15 minutes with a GP just diesn't cut it!!!!

Most of key nutrients are assured in the smoothie mix!

EASY, DOABLE

This is very easy for me AND it is very doable and very reliably done, without any self control struggles or bad choices (slipups).


WHAT I EAT

Jam packed nutrition green smoothie - See instructions, in box.

A bowl of raw rolled oats, with almond or coconut "milk", flavored with blueberries (frozen). As desired. "Eat only pure grains in a bowl."

An avocado, virtually every day.  Mild bit of sea salt.

Non-salted almonds.

Hardboiled organic eggs - Erratically, supposed to limit to 3 or so times/week, but 7 may be ok.

Up to a palmfull equivalent of meat or fish per day, but tend toward 3 or fewer days, as recommended by nutritionist (who is a vegan).  See the comments box on fish/meat I eat.  (Also, it is a good snack for me.

Madras Lentils preparation (Costco).  1 min.  (Occasionally)

Premier Protein (with shaved ice) - Occasionally (Costco)

Do not eat any processed, refined foods.  No milk, cheese, dairy.  Only coconut oil (no processed or omega 6 heavy oils).


MY INDULGENCES

Most often: 1/6 of a Low Sugar Detour Bar, which has a low glycemic effect.  About 30 calories, though sometimes I might eat two (which still will not spike my sugar), usually eaten with about 10 non-salted almonds.

"Air popped" non-GMO, organize popcorn (in large containers from Amazon) in a 12-cup popcorn microwave container with lid (thru Amazon).  Only when watching movies...

Medium size Light Mocha Frappucino (about 160 calories).
Recipe, instructions for green smoothie

Using 80+ oz. blender (Ninja is good, not too costly), put in as much kale and spinach (with about 24-30 oz of water) quickly blending it (don't pack too tightly or it will stay in place above the blades) down to a chopped up liquid point.  About 12 - 16 oz. fit in.  I add in preferable fresh (sometimes frozen) vegetable medley, premixed in a bag.  Then one banana, one apple, and a couple of ounces of frozen mixed berries.  Plus 2-3 tsps of flax seed or chia seeds.  (Sometimes I add a scoop or two of non-whey protein and/or a scoop of powdered balanced meal item.)   It spread over through lunch, but I make it the night before during my lesser power times.  Occasionaly I'll remember to sprinkle of some Turmeric powder.

Fish/meat I eat and how they are "prepared"

Instead of cooking salmon conventionally, I use the not-as-good-for-you frozen salmon patties, zapped for 3 minutes in the microwave.  Sometimes, I eat the non-nitrite pure no additives turkey slices or the prepacked chicken pack at Costco.
