My new diet.
Lupac:
Okay, I'm tired of sugar, and eating unhealthy. I work out a lot. (I do P90X.) But I haven't really changed my diet much, except to add more protien. So I'm thinking about going vegetarian. The number one reason is, I want to eat more healthy. And number two, I have Keratosis pilaris (Small bumps around the hair follicle.) on my arms and legs. I've tried lots of things to get rid of them, but they won't go away. So I thought a diet change might help. I'm considering going to a naturopath for a "Vega" test for food sensitivity. (Yes, I know it's inaccurate, but it's also worked for a lot of people, or so I've read.) Anyway, here would be my diet every day of the week. I based it around a guy on Youtube who did P90X for an entire year, and looks great. Here it is:
Breakfast
Large bowl of oatmeal
1-2 Bananas
1st snack
1 oz. (more/less) of cheese
half of a 400+ calorie protien bar
Granola bar
Gatorade
Whey Protein Powder (When I work out.)
Lunch
2 Cups of leafy greens (Salad)
1 oz. parmesan cheese
Italian Dressing
Vegetarian Chicken Patty
2nd Snack
1 oz. (more/less) of cheese
half of a 400+ calorie protien bar
Granola bar
Dinner
1 Cup of brown rice
1 Cup mixed vegetables.
Vegetarian Chicken Patty
And, that's disgusting, but I'm going to do it. I eat way too much processed meat. (Ham, turkey.) That I'm sure isn't good for me. If I test negative for dairy, I'll have to switch the cheese for something else.
Edit: That's only about 2300 calories a day. I was aiming for more. Let me see here... Adding two oz. of nuts will add about 300 calories a day. Maybe that, plus some things from my P90X diet book that doesn't contain meat. I think I can do this.

Hey Buddy!
Make sure that vegetarian chicken patty is NOT made with Soy! MEN SHOULD NEVER EAT SOY!! Soy is a phyto estrogen (it mimics estrogen in the body) women should never eat soy,either...estrogen...bad...I'd rather see you eat peanut butter, my friend!! you can use beans...you can look up some recipes for vegetarian patties made with beans...lentils...I was a vegetarian for 15 years...I used to use a lot of soy...remember if you use soy use it in the form of soy sauce...fermented soy is ok...now that means anything with "textured vegetable protein"....another word for granulated soy....avoid it!!!
Educate yourself, dude!! ;) your best bet?? stay away from white flour products and sugar...sugar is your enemy....except in fruit and otherwise healthy stuff like that! concentrate on variety! red, green, yellow, blue, purple...Bryant...EAT A RAINBOW EVERY DAY!!! Don't worry, be happy!!! ;D To your health!!

I don't know. From what I've read, soy isn't that bad. People in east Asia have been eat soy as long as people have been there.
arion:
Listen or watch Dr. Steger's presentation from the bible conference if you have not heard it. You'll get some great health ideas that will probably be pretty helpful for you.
Ninny:
Well, I think they use mainly fermented soy...I need to check on that, cause I'm no expert!!! :)
Just do your homework!! and remember to be happy!! A merry heart doeth good like a medicine!! Proverbs 17:22 :)
