Through mindful eating, gardening, and embracing hunger as a teacher, I’ve shifted from living to eat to eating to live.

I consider myself an #EatToLive kinda guy as you might expect if you know about my chosen namesake and not just the adjective based upon a complete inversion of the lifestyle he was dedicated to promoting in his Garden of Athens over 2000ya
Ive been more interested in food for the mind than body since #JrHigh when I skipped the #Hostess treats to save the money to buy comic books at the drug store or new 7-11 in town
Ive simplified my diet in last 10y since my #BetterHalf who
#LivesToEat became my #FormerCompliment
Here is one of the few things Ive limited my consumption to that I recently discovered at #TJs that others might especially appreciate
Ive shopped at my local one for over 8y and while pleased with the coffee selections Ive been disappointed with their caffeinated tea choices until I discovered boxed
Organic #Assam Black Tea
Its the best black tea that Ive savored w/o a #Liptonlabel attached to a bag and they're big enough to make a big/tall cup, unlike tiny bags

The weight loss continues. I live in a house filled with snackers so avoiding the processed, sugary and salty stuff is hard but I am mostly avoiding it. I've had moments of weakness but mostly am sticking to the raw vegetables and it is working.
The poker world loves a weight loss bet like "lose 20% of your body weight in a year". People hire trainers and nutritionists. I'm doing straight #EatToLive, a $10 book, and I lost 8% of my body weight in a month eating more healthy than usual.
When I said I eat the same thing every day, this is mostly it unless I am too lazy to put it together. One bowl lasts 2 or 3 days.
I use hummus as the dressing. I used to put guacamole or mushrooms in the big bowl but they tended to get gross faster than the rest so I just add those things to the salad plate by plate.
- spinach
- cucumber
- jalapeno
- bell pepper
- grape tomato
- organic (low sodium) 4 bean blend
- milled flax seed
- raw sunflower seed
Over the last few years, I've put on weight for obvious reasons. I was walking around with 50 more pounds than I want.
In the past, I have successfully lost weight using the #JoelFuhrman #EatToLive plan. It is mostly raw vegetables, no processed food or simple sugars. Some people call it a "woo woo" diet but how is "eat mostly salads" controversial as a weight loss strategy?
I've been on for 10 days and it is working well. Historically this curve holds for months.
