what are the best veggies

[missymiss99]

I lost 60 pounds from eating No processed food. So that means if the lord made it you eat it lol, ie; plants animals and brown or black rice also Ezechiel 4:9 bread. With that being said, I make the yummiest soup for my "snack meals" here it is: (this is a head of each) Swiss Chard, Collard Greens, Kale, Baby Bock Choi, Spinach, Zucchini, and 1 big Leek. Seasonings; Salt, Trader Joes 21 Seasoning Solute, 4-5 Cloves Garlic, And Braggs Liquid Aminos. Season to taste. you can blend it and eat it but I like it whole. serve it cold or hat how ever you like even finish off the broth. It makes you feel like you did a cleanse the first time you eat it. but in an awesome way. very filling. Hope it helps and you like it

So you're coming over and making this, right? You forgot to add that in your post.

there are lots of various diets out there with lots of research behind them. each one has advantages and disadvantages. just stay away from processed foods, HFCS, and high amounts of starches unless its before/after workouts and as was mentioned about long distance runners, starches can be great, as can fats. everybody's body is different. Some people can tolerate and burn through carbs of all kinds and not gain an ounce of weight and then people like me cannot tolerate carbs at all without balooning up. I ate mostly paleo until I lost my job then decided to go with legumes since they are a dirt cheap source of protein and can be mixed up to make complete proteins and I eat meat occasionally but unless its wild, not farm raised, seafood I don't buy it and just eat it at get togethers because of cost. I tended to overeat with the paleo diet and meat because I had the mental image that because it was meat and I was eating paleo I could eat all I want and I'd have acid reflux and workout performance would suffer even 3-4 hrs after eating. Now I typically eat a good blend of veggies, with some protein and a little bit of fat about an hr and a half before my workouts and I'm fine. If you could post up what kind of workouts that might help too. I'm doing a workout routine that is much higher volume than what my body's used to and trying to get back into shape after gaining 50 lbs of "newlywed weight" that I've gotten over thhe past 3 yrs and 5 weeks and I'm already getting back into my old eating/workout routines and noticing a huge difference in body composition.

Actually you should visit a few Raw Food forums. There is A LOT of fruits and veggies that can be eaten raw.

Yeah, but a raw T-bone steak, raw salmon (well maybe sushi if you don't mind risking bacterial infections), or raw eggs. No thanks. I'll pass. The raw diet seems to be a trendy thing that only city people do.

About 80% or maybe even more of the food I eat I produce. I raise my own beef, poultry, eggs, goat milk, goat meat and live off my own veg's all year. Veg's raw or cooked in the summer, what I can preserve for the winter. I eat a lot of kale in the winter because it grows well here, is highly nutritious, and freezes well if you blanch it. How do you freeze veg's if you don't at least blanch them? Then they would no longer be raw. I don't eat much fruit (too much sugar) so only as a treat and because fruit doesn't grow well if at all here.

(BTW, ancient inhabitants of the Andean Uplands discovered the edible tubers which later became the cultivated potato. They ate the many varieties they discovered simply by digging them up and roasting them on slow fires. This doesn't qualify as part of a "Paleo" diet? thx for info)

You have to look at the potato not the human that started eating it. The Andean potato was a whole different critter than the big-agri, mass produced modern potato which has been gentically modified to make better, crispier french fries. The Andean potato was found to have much [url=https://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/jf0726583]higher levels of nutrients than modern potatoes[/url]. There are types of potatoes which are hard to find that have lower carbs and higher amounts of phenolic acids which discourage cancer growth. But, Russets which humans eat to the tune of something like millions of tons a day are nothing but big starch bombs.

It is a vegan diet no meat or eggs. Some people do freeze some produce but not all the time. Some just eat fresh produce only. Also nuts and seeds make up a big part of the diet too and they last pretty long on the shelves.

LOL! I would make it for you . I forgot to mention all you do is chop it up and put in in a pot and fill the pot of water to a little below the top
(room to boil). it is so easy. But no processed food is easy and great!

I was wondering what you used for stock. I could see some cayenne pepper going in also......

Ah. I can't remember when the last time was that I cooked/ate a Russet! I'm so spoiled, being able to choose varieties of spuds here in the Bay Area--and grow them, too! Fingerlings, So. American purple/red/"blue" varieties, Yukon Golds, Sierra Golds...most "waxy" types of spuds appeal to me; the fluffy starchy type not at all.

Thank you for the citation!
