Modern food is overly sugary, processed, and devoid of meaning and purpose. Good fats and proteins are important!
My ideal diet is progressing!
So the idea to focus on metabolic health would be to reduce carbohydrates, especially refined ones (which do not necessarily taste sweet like in rice, pasta, bread, potatoes... regarding rice or potatoes, interesting to know that when they are cooked, refrigerated and reheated, their glycemic intake is reduced by up to 50%!). The good idea: add proteins and good fats while the abundance of vegetables is still required.
For my part, I want a highly digestible and cost-effective diet that provides me with energy, which benefits my muscle mass, while allowing healthy joints to move for a long time, good sources of antioxidants, nitrates (green vegetables).
- Lemon juice and fiber in the morning
- Fountain of youth or protein shake.
- Before lunch and dinner, salad of 12-14 mixed vegetables, avocado in good fat, nuts or seeds, sprouts and mung beans in germination, herbs then addition of spices in my salad dressing; a non-vegan could add eggs.
- If I'm still hungry (you should never be hungry), I'll once again rely on a good fat like the one in my snack square.
-
Chaga decoctions or jiaogulan infusion or drinks with essential oils to cheer me up!
I replace some of the wheat flour in my recipes with almond flour, hazelnut flour and rice protein, for example, I add my fermented brown rice protein to muffins and to my protein chocolate plant milk ( homemade or not plant milk with 1 part vanilla protein, 1 part chocolate protein and 1 part 22% fat cocoa); so delicious that Jonathan walks around with his shaker under his arm.
So I get my protein intake from Plant Protein, Collagen and my Complete , in addition to my sprouts, nuts, ... already integrated into my salads. I added supplements to my plate, a variety of vitamins & minerals that make the difference. Even though I have an excellent lifestyle.
So I take them all at lunchtime with salad, green or red juice! For vitamin D , I follow the proposed equation (weight in kilos X 50 IU), I also take 3 to 4 supplements of O mega-3, magnesium , multivitamins and vitamin C , I try 3 x per day.
(Is more omega better than less? Listen here to the show with Dr. Brouillard).
*Note to vegans (and I am more than open to constructive discussion, all our choices are made consciously, respect our values and the animals-humans-planet): our collagen comes from the residues of eco-responsible fishing. It is therefore a valorization of the waste of this industry. “Vegan collagen” does not exist. It is often only a few synthetic amino acids and does not usually generate the desired benefits. I consider myself vegan and I choose this highly assimilable and profitable collagen from marine residues, combined with plant hyaluronic acid. And I experience a beneficial impact on both my joints and my skin.
For those who are almost entirely vegetarian because they have adopted a cruelty-free lifestyle, collagen, omegas, and vitamin D are made from waste. So, no cruelty was exercised in the sourcing of these ingredients.
If you wish, we could have a vegan version, but without the same effects. You tell me. It's like vitamin D3 (which comes from the lanolin in the wool of sheep that are sheared without bruising them) VS vegan D2 or like omega-3 which also comes from marine waste VS vegan omega-3 whose impact on health is questioned by our consultants and specialists...
I believe in recycling waste for our planet, for us, for balance. It's all about awareness and respectful choices, in my humble opinion!
