I don't know about anyone else but I am really getting into nutrition based documentaries on Netflix! I find them fascinating and eye opening to say the least. There are a ton of them on Netfilx and the one that I liked the most so far is called.. "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead". If you have not seen it, check it out, the stories are great, inspiring and the content makes a ton of sense.
Another great documentary Sequoia and I watched last night was Engine 2, a follow-up to "Forks over Knives". I strongly recommend this one as well.
One of the things that stood out to me was when they interviewed a doctor, his name is Dr. Joel Fuhrman, he is the author of the book "Eat to Live". In the movie he talked about his food pyramid, at least the one he supports in his program. I felt it was a really good guide for eating a whole food, nutrition, plant based diet. As you can see from the picture, he has his recommendations on what to eat each day and week. It seems like a great model for optimum health without cutting EVERYTHING out by simply increasing the good and decreasing the bad. Sooo more veggies and fruits and less meat, dairy, flour and sweets. This is the model I have been working off for my challenge so to see it visually helps me out a ton and will hopefully keep me focused. I am still progressing to get to the point where I follow this on a more regular basis but I think I have done a pretty decent job so far...BUT, a work in progress!
Great workout today, I will get my cardio in tomorrow and yoga on Saturday. Meals went well today as well. Eggs whites with veggies in the a.m. with red potatoes instead of toast. Juice guy around noon then some veggies as a snack. I had a little chicken teriyaki for dinner with brown rice but I only ate half the order and saved the rest for later.
I will start my cleanse after the Super Bowl. Really looking forward to that especially after I watched Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead!
Out for now....Ryan
