TheReanuKeevesAny Lemmings that have been regular fasters for at least a couple years? What's your first hand experience and opinion on fasting for health benefits?
I only eat once a day for years now. Not really for weight loss, but rather because it saves a lot of time and allows me to spend more time on preparing one really satisfying and healthy meal instead of just snacks and fast food. I still eat sweets and stuff if I feel like, but it’s easier to control and keep track of nutrients etc.
What do you eat?
I’m on a vegan diet and I would say that I eat quite a big variety of food. Many vegetables, grains, nuts, seeds, beans, lentils, rice, quinoa, chick peas, pasta variations, also some meat alternatives, soy yoghurt etc. I rarely eat exactly the same meal twice, but improvise a lot.
That sounds like something I’d like to try tbh, could u give like 4 random meals you’ve had recently?
I usually don’t write it down, so I hope I remember it correctly:
Yesterday I had:
- Gnocchi with leek, soy chunks (“minced meat”) and basil
- Smashed cucumber salad with roasted sesame and black onion seeds
- A salad with pasta made from pea flour with beluga lentils (ingredients were left over)
- Lentil waffels (crispy flat bread similar to rice cake, not sure if you can buy these outside Europe) with hummous
- Muesli with lupine yoghurt and walnuts
- Chocolate
The day before I had
- Pasta made from pea flour with a bolognese out of eggplant beluga lentil and nutritional yeast
- Bake-off bread with bean puree
- Caesar salad from sugar loaf (?) with blended almonds and hazelnuts
- Two bars from caramalized peanuts (“Mr Tom”)
- Vegan gummy bears
Another day before:
- Grilled veggies (zucchini, corn, mushrooms, green peppers)
- Grilled seitan steaks
- Chick pea waffels (similar to lentil waffels) with soy cottage cheese
- Pop corn
Yet another day before:
- Rice with green flageolet beans, smoked tofu, coconut milk and roasted peanuts
- Raw veggies (carrots, green peppers, cherry tomatoes) with cashew dip
- Baguette
- Nuts mix with raisins and cranberries
- Sugar-coated peanuts (vegan alternative to M&Ms)
Thx dude!
