Back on primal full time, with a side of cleansing.

Breakfast

Before juicing it all.
I juiced cilantro, parsley, asparagus, kale, celery, carrots, apples, ginger, and lemon. I also added a tablespoon of water soaked chia seeds (see below).

Lunch

Left over "mystery stew" (small bowl).
Ground turkey (99/1), peas, broccoli, carrot, celery, bell pepper, and tomato sauce.

Snack

(This picture is from yesterday, forgot to take a shot of today's. My bowl today was half that size.)
Pineapple, three types of melon, strawberries, blueberries, grapes, walnuts, cocoa beans, coconut flakes.

Dinner

Ground beef (antibiotics and hormone free) mixed with crushed walnuts, pressed garlic, 1 egg yolk, turmeric, and cayenne pepper. Mixed veggies with celery, broccoli, bell pepper, carrots, water chestnut, and peas. 2 over easy eggs, and of course ketchup.

Chia seeds

I currently have this 3 times a day. About 2 tea spoons of chia seeds covered with water. I mix it well and let it sit until it has a gel like consistency. For breakfast I mixed it in to my juice, and for lunch and dinner I just ate it like that. I will most likely have another just before I go to bed. It has no taste is supposed to help clean the intestinal track a lot.

Blog resurrected.

After a few months of absence I decided to resurrect this blog again. I had my wife and a few friends ask me why I quit posting my foods and progress of my meals so after a delicious breakfast this morning I thought I would like to share how delicious it was and decided to turn the blog back on.

I will keep the formatting similar for all future posts, but I will not note the calorie and other nutritional values of my meals anymore because I have stopped tracking them on MyFitnessPal a while back. My weight loss is natural now without having to learn what is good and what is bad for me anymore, so I don't count calories anymore but instead focus on the right food choices and only eat until I am full.


Handful - Raw Organic Spinach
1 - Medium Tomato
2 tbsp - Salsa
1/2 - Banana
1/2 - Delicious Red Apple
1/2 - Green Pear
30g - Pecans (Raw)
30g - Walnuts (Raw)
20g - Sunflower Seed (Hulled, Raw)
2 tbsp - Pure Organic Maple Sirup

Spices: Cayenne Pepper

Wash the spinach, then layer it in the bowl with Cayenne Pepper. Put the tomato and salsa on top. Cut all the fruits and then sprinkle the nuts and seeds on top, drip the sirup over it.

Very very delicious breakfast, I enjoyed it a lot. It was a welcome break from my usual Primal meal (meat and veggies). This breakfast was quite high in carbs, but I see them as good carbs because they came from fruits and veggies :)

I diced the onion and crushed the bacon. I made the bacon in the beginning of the week and keep it in a Tupperware in the refrigerator. I glazed the onions in coconut oil and then added the bacon and sausage links. Once the links were cooked I took them out and cooked the spinach in the sauce. Served it with a little mustard on the side.

Very simple dinner and it was delicious, I loved the spinach with onion and bacon.
