Ha ha REJ, nutritarian kindergarten! LOL.
I hope you can soon get your favorite fruits again. Other than that you did great!

I already had a feeling you might not have a problem with not snacking. If you like, join the challenge but add a goal for yourself that you like to work on so you'll get more out of it.

Here's how I did yesterday and today so far:

Salad: yes and yes
Beans: yes and yes
Green veggies: yes and, not yet
Nuts/seeds: yes and yes
Onions: yes and yes
Three fruits; yes and yes
Mushrooms: no

Salad:
Beans:

Steamed green veggies: No steamed greens, but I did have beets and cucumbers
Nuts/seeds:
Mushrooms:
Onions:

Fruit: no fruit: Would you believe I don't have a single fruit (fresh or frozen) in the house! I just flunked nutritarian kindergarten! I'm planning to pick some up tomorrow. I wanted to pick some up on the way home after our walk today, but my sister was meeting up with her son and grand-children so we were in too much of a hurry to do so.

On another day of fabulous nutritarian eating, White!

I plan to join you in the no snacking May challenge, but I don't tend to snack between meals. I used to, but I heard Dr. Jason Fung explain that every time we eat, our pancreas releases insulin which, among other things, aids in fat storage. He says that's why having 5 small meals a day is not a good idea. It is also one of Dr. Fuhrman's nutritarian principles to eat in a hormonally favorable way. And snacking is not hormonally favorable. We need those "fasting" periods between meals. Even adding milk to coffee is enough to break a fast. So I'm really careful not to snack between meals.

I'm not sure how I'll do between May 22nd and June 5th. My son will be here for a visit and we usually go out quite a bit when he's here. But I probably still won't be snacking much between meals.

Thank you REJ for sharing. At least no one has to force the healthy stuff down your throat - as I am sure is the case with many people! LOL

I usually have my beans in my salad or soup at lunch. Then later on with the evening meal I can add more if I like.

You had another very good Nutritatian day!

I very much hope to see you join in the May challenge! Also if it's no challenge for you at all, maybe, to not eat snacks... Still I'd love your company!

Here's how I did yesterday:

Salad yes
Beans yes
green veggies yes
nuts/seeds yes
onions yes
three fruits yes
mushrooms no

Hi White. I can't say it's work, because I LIKE nutritarian food, but I'm still tempted by junk foods. Every time I walk into a grocery store, I have to determine to make wise choices. It's still a struggle. In other words, it wouldn't take 10 men to force a potato chip down my throat. LOL
Today, for example, I ate too much. But it was all nutritarian food. The salad I had this noon was too large, so I was not hungry for beans tonight. I did have some cooked brussel sprouts, but no beans. Even though I'm not hungry, and don't want to eat any more nutritious foods, I could easily eat bread, or snacks or sweets. I don't have to be hungry to eat those! I'm having a decaf coffee, then I will go brush my teeth and floss. The kitchen is CLOSED for the evening!

Salad:
Beans: no beans
Steamed green veggies:
Nuts/seeds:
Mushrooms:
Onions:
Fruit: only 2 fruits

And you had ANOTHER perfect day, REJ! Congrats, you're doing so well. Do you feel it's a routine for you now to get in all those healthy foods? Or is it still 'work'?

White! You got a perfect nutritarian day!

Nuts/seeds: yes
Onions: yes
Three fruits; yes
Mushrooms: no

Minnie, if you do overeat on nutritarian foods, it won't cause as much damage as if you overeat on junk food or processed food. Of course, overeating on anything can cause weight gain instead of weight loss.

You're right, White, we're getting pretty good at this.

What?! No beans? LOL but you're doing well REJ.

I may be doing well with this challenge and getting in all the foods on Dr. Fuhrman's list, but I am GAINING weight (probably because I am still eating too many of the 'wrong' foods, see my blog) and getting very very discouraged...

For some reason, today was a bit of a struggle. I just felt like eating junk. Since I didn't have any in the house, and I didn't want to go out and buy some, I had to somewhat behave. I don't like feeling this way! I like "feeling" nutritarian!

generally good food in the house. but i eat more than i burn off. too tempting when out of the house.

there is a zucchini cheese I like to make from a cheese book I have
The vegan cheese are so pricey!

Frozen fruit- yes. I use tha tquite a bit mostly blueberries
-Yesterday
1. Salad: 2X
2. Beans: YES!
3. Steamed green veggies: yes- Kale
4. nuts/seeds: yes pumpkin in salad drssing and flaxseed=1T
5. mushrooms and onions: Yep- both
6. fruits: Blueberries+ banana + apple

Great job, you got them all!
Have you tried frozen fruit? I think Dr. Fuhrman talks about it and that it 's okay to eat frozen fruit?

Yesterday (thursday):

1.No salad but had a smoothie instead so still got in the greens
2. Beans
3. No steamed green veggies, but had cauliflower
4. nuts/ seeds
5. onions
6. three fruits
7. mushrooms

I do tend to stay away from non ETL foods. Since I'm so careful about not having them in the house, it's not too difficult. But I'm often tempted by non-compliant foods in the grocery store or elsewhere. As far as eating fruit goes, the quality and taste aren't that great at this time of year. I enjoy lots of fruit in the Summer and Fall.

Salad:
Beans:
Steamed green veggies:
Nuts/seeds:
Mushrooms:

LOL yes you just might be tempted to put bread under it! Though we have a saying in my language (Dutch):
"In geval van nood, Smaakt kaas ook zonder brood".
Translation: in case of an emergency, cheese will taste fine without bread. (In Dutch, it rhymes).

You're doing very well, REJ. And I suppose you manage to stay away from the 'non-ETL' foods? (Unlike me).
I wonder how come you miss the fruit now and then? I wonder how you do that: I could not go for ONE day without eating lots of fruit, I think eating the fruit is what enables me do eat all the other healthy stuff...

Edited by: WHITE-GREEN at: 4/17/2019 (06:59)

That's some mighty good nutritarian eating you're doing there, White!

I don't know anything about vegan cheese. I've never tried it. I'm afraid that if I get some, I might be tempted to put some bread under it.

Salad:
Beans:
Steamed green veggies:
Nuts/seeds:
Mushrooms:
Onions:

Fruits: no fruits today

Today so far:

Salad
beans
no steamed green veggies but fennel as 'soup'
nuts/seeds
mushrooms
onions
3 fruits

Thank you REJ! You met all the goals, AGAIN! YAY for you!

So far, my husband had agreed to not bring trigger foods into the house, except for chocolate sprinkles and jam, but he does keep those out of my sight, most of the time. (I do need to ask him now and then to remember to put them away).
He has not been eating 'real' cheese for several months but I have the impression he wants to go back to eating cheese. We agreed for the time being to at least get VEGAN cheese; I think that the vegan cheese will not cause those nasty cravings (fingers crossed).

I feel awkward having to ask him to take my needs into account like this, but I'm very thankful he's all right with it.

However cheese needs to be kept in the fridge and we can't lock the fridge.

Minnie, on reaching all of your nutritarian objectives today!
White, you also did very well in eating your nutritarian foods today. But as you mentioned, it's possible to also consume foods that do not contribute to our goals. The "secret" to my success has been mostly to keep those foods OUT of the house. But I live alone, so it's easy to do. I know that some doctors (and chef AJ) recommend that when a spouse wants to buy non-conforming foods, those foods should be kept in a locked container, and out of sight. It seems a bit drastic, but it's a question of health, and if the spouse really understands that, they may be willing to comply. It also shows that you and I are not the only ones who struggle with the addictive nature of certain foods. If I have rice cakes or bread in the house, I eat too much of them. They call my name. Please don't get discouraged! Keep doing the best you can.

Today:

Salad
beans

no green veggies but had fennel

nuts and seeds
onions
3 fruits
mushrooms

I manage to get in most of the required foods for the checklist but I feel terrible because I am overeating a lot (rice cakes, peanut butter, gluten free bread). I have huge cravings, not sure why. Maybe because I succumbed to the temptation of having cheese - I don't like to have it in the house but my husband seemed to have to have it... It's hard not to feel discouraged.

Boy, am I ever late checking in to this challenge. I've been out of the country, but fortunately in the middle east, the Nutritarian diet is their normal way of eating. I guess we in the US have some serious catching up to do. :)

Anyway, my checklist for Wednesday:

1. More salad -- No
2. Beans daily -- Yes
3. Steamed green veggies -- Yes
4. Nuts & seeds -- Yes
5. Mushrooms and onions -- Yes
6. 3 fresh fruits -- Yes

I just split up the goal of 'onions' and 'mushrooms' for simplicity.

2. eat beans daily (at least 1/2 cup)

This is our challenge for April 2019: every day we'll report on how we did with the Nutritarian Checklist.

What does this mean: every day you try to meet every nutritarian guidelines. Regardless of whether you meet them all or not, you post here every day and share how you did.

So you copy the list below and add 'yes' or 'no' (or use an emoticon if you like) to each guideline to indicate if you managed to eat the required foods that day.

This is the checklist:
1. eat more salad (at least 1 salad as your main course, daily)
2. eat beans daily (at least 1/2 cup)
3. eat one large serving of steamed green veggies daily
4. eat at least 1 ounce of nuts & seeds daily
5. eat mushrooms and onions everyday
6. eat three fresh fruits daily

More about the guidelines here: hellonutritarian.com/the-basic-nutri
ta
rian-guidelines/

Note: the challenge is not about meeting the guidelines every day (though that would be the ultimate goal) but about posting every day, or as often as you can, on this thread to share how you are doing. This helps to stay focused on eating the healthy foods! AND, it's FUN!

So, for example, a post could look like this:

1. Salad: yes
2. Beans: yes
3. Steamed green veggies: no
4. nuts/seeds: yes but only half an ounce
5. mushrooms and onions: mushrooms no, onions yes
6. fruits: yes
