Maintainers' Menus
In 2000, when I drew the line in the sand and decided to stop killing myself with carbs, I decided to find out how people live who were not fat, and what they ate. I looked up maintainers' menus, exercise plans, supplements, and lifestyle. I just decided to eat as if I were already at my goal. It was a good choice for me.
In case reading menus of those in maintenance would be of help to someone, I start this thread. :) Best thoughts and wishes to all for success and super health. :) ---- My food today: black tea and hwc sauteed chicken marinated green beans with potassium salt and roasted sesame seed oil homemade yoghurt (made from half-&-half, aka hh) more tea sauteed salmon some kind of marinated green veg perhaps homemade gelatin w/ yoghurt egg yolks and butter, w/ salt and pepper green veg. perhaps some hh |
On waking: A 12 oz. glass of cold water.
Breakfast today (I don't always eat breakfast, only when I'm hungry): Two eggs fried in coconut oil, a cup of chicken bone broth, and a cup of decaf Earl Grey tea. Lunch today: I was out and about with my husband, running errands, and he was in the mood for KFC (not a health nut, my DH). So I had a thigh and a drumstick, breaded skin pulled off, with green beans and cole slaw and several tall glasses of unsweetened iced tea watered down with lots of ice. Snack: A handful of raw unsalted mixed nuts (walnuts, cashews, macadamias). Dinner: Tired and lazy after errands, so got a big bowl and filled it with bagged garden salad, canned chicken breast, a couple of "colossal" (super jumbo) pimiento-stuffed olives, and ranch dressing with a glass of Sparkling Ice (Splenda-sweetened, fruit flavored sparkling water). I will probably have a cup of decaf with almond milk for "dessert" before bed. Definitely a glass or two more of water. |
Mmm, Barb, that looks scrumptious. :)
Food for me today: Tea and cream Likely egg yolks and butter w/ potassium salt and pepper Homemade yoghurt w/ a spoonful of GF rice cereal. More tea and cream Chicken or fish w/ marinated vegs. Yoghurt or some hh. Probably tuna fish w/ marinated vegs. Yoghurt, hh, or some hwc. Also working to increase water intake. A pile of supplements for the day, as well. :) |

I've been posting my food in my journal lately, if anyone wants to see more. Yesterday's menu: - brekky: a "real" donut shop breakfast sandwich (on a coconut flour tea biscuit) and coffee - lunch: chicken breast on lettuce with ranch dressing and parm cheese, garlic mashed cauliflower (with butter and cream cheese) - afternoon/evening: a few vodka and diet cokes while watching sports - dinner: beef vegetable soup from the freezer with another coconut flour tea biscuit I made those tea biscuits last Sunday and wanted to use them up. I guess I could have put them in the freezer. They're a good choice for me because they're good, but not that good. I brought one to work on Monday and it sat there all week. The chicken breast: I found them on the reduced rack while doing my weekly shopping. I threw them in the instant pot. Now I have two more meals worth of already-cooked chicken for the work week. After the breasts were done, I tossed my freezer bag of frozen bones and scraps in for broth. I don't think I'll be cooking today because we're having an ice storm and they're predicting power outages. We'll probably just have hot dogs on the clamshell grill. |
Tired of eggs for breakfast? Have an avocado. Slice in half, scoop out the pit, sprinkle with lemon juice and/or a dollop or two of sour cream. Eat with a spoon. Enjoy.
