Hi all,
New to the forum and curious if I could get some thoughts on my diet. I am a 31 yr old male, 5'8", and recently lost 35 pounds (205 to 170) following a Primal/Paleo diet. Overall, I don't feel bad, but have some nagging issues that lead me to want to experiment a bit with Peat (constipation, dry eyes, lightheadness, and just a feeling that I should have more energy you know?). I still would like to keep my meals more "traditional" as I have a wife and 2 kids that are not on board yet, but I feel I should be able to do a "Peatish" version (correct me if I am wrong).
My plan is to eat the following:
Breakfast
2 Egg, 8 oz Milk, Melon, Coffee (2 tsp sugar, milk)
Snack
8 oz OJ, 1 oz Cheese
Lunch
Meat (Lean beef or chicken... shellfish 1 time per week), Starch (potato, sweet potato, or white rice), Orange, Coffee (2 tsp sugar, milk)
Snack
Raw carrots, 8 oz Milk
Supper
Meat (Lean beef or chicken... shellfish 1 time per week), Starch (potato, sweet potato, or white rice), Orange
Snack
Grapes, 8 oz Milk
This daily menu adds up to roughly 2200 calories, at roughly 110g of protein and 250g of carbs.
My goals are to lose 10 lbs more of fat (160lbs) and HOPEFULLY solve those nagging issues mentioned above. I have transitioned slowly to this menu over the past 3 weeks, and have seen pretty decent results so I am hopeful.
So, after reading through your board I know there are many smart people here! I was wondering if any of you who have been eating this way for longer than I could comment on my menu. I would love to hear your thoughts (good or bad) in hopes to either get confirmation that I am on the right track, or get suggestions on how to make it better.
Finally, my last comment. Ideally I would like to fit some gelatin into my coffee's, but I have yet to find a good source in my area. I live in Canada and so far haven't been able to source any in sufficient quantities (I have found a 3 pack in a health food store, but it was $6!!! Obviously not very cost effective).
Well that's it, a long post, but I appreciate any help you can offer.
Cheers,
Zor
