Hi, I'm 36, 185lbs, male, no medical conditions. I could stand to
loose at least 20lbs of fat but I really just want to have a diet I
can live on permanently.
I don't cook or make "proper" meals and I'm just looking for some
advice.
per day:
1)1/2 tin of salmon
2)1 hard boiled egg
3)2 vegetables
4)nuts/seeds or pickled herring
5)occasional fruit
The salmon is Sockeye, canned, with bones and skin.
The vegetables are any of, broccoli, radishes, green peppers,
cauliflower. I'm not keen on carrots plus, they are pretty sweet.
The nuts are unsalted almonds, pecans, walnuts, macadamia.
The fruit is only berries, green banana's and figs. I think most
fruit has a much too high calorie:nutrient ratio.
Along with any suggestions please try to answer,
1) Is one egg/day everyday too much?
2) Are store bought(Safeway) bran muffins pretty healthful?
3) Is eating tinned chilli okay or is pretty much all tinned food bad?
4) The figs are for calcium but should I also take a supplement?
I know this is a very mundane diet but I have no problem with that, in
fact, the mundaneness may be good for me.
When I eat out, which is about 2/week I get salads mostly.
For exercise I play badminton twice a week and do some walking but not
much more.
Thank you all for taking the time to look over this and for making
dietary suggestions that don't involve any real cooking or preparation
or clean up: As you can tell from the above, I'm not into that.

Hi Eric. Have you read any diet books? If so, which ones? Do you
figure that you have insulin resistance?

Excellent!

Are they raw?

Hmmmm, sure youre not throwing the baby out with the bath water? The
Glycemic index of apples is 38, grapefruit: 25, tomato juice: 38.

Perhaps more fish; and less eggs which are very high in arachidonic
acid.
Quote:
2) Are store bought(Safeway) bran muffins pretty healthful?
Are they loaded with refined carbs and bad fats?
Quote:

Whats in that chili?
Quote:

Figs are high in carbs. Perhaps more salmon with bones for calcium.
The glycemic index for raw carrots: 16, is a lot lower than dried
figs: 61.

With what kind of dressing? Whats in it?

Perhaps the most important concept regarding weight loss, imho, is
that of Hormone Sensitive Lipase, aka Insulin Sensitive Lipase. Once
you understand how this little gatekeeper enzyme works, your body's
propensity to burn fat as fuel will be more easily promoted. One of
the best explanations of HSL Ive come across is in "Protein Power" by
Michael R. and Mary Dan Eades, M.D.s.

Red peppers have more nutrients than green.

That's somewhat true, but fruits aren't calorie dense.
Quote: 1) Is one egg/day everyday too much?
No.
Quote: 2) Are store bought(Safeway) bran muffins pretty healthful?
Probably not. They usually contain trans fats (hydrogenated fats).
Quote: 3) Is eating tinned chilli okay or is pretty much all tinned food bad?
Low fat canned chili is OK (e.g. Trader Joe's turkey chili).
Quote: 4) The figs are for calcium but should I also take a supplement?
Figs aren't high enough in calcium. Try supplements or skim milk.

The answer to obesity lies in an abnormal hypothalmus. Metabolism
and hunger are regulated by the hypothalmus. People who diet tend to
burn the structural fat first. This fat surrounds the organs and joints.
The reserve fat is the last to be burned. The metabolism has been
lowered and hunger becomes uncontrollable. Obese people have an
increased appetite that is caused from an abnormal hypothalmus. The
condition is reversible. Investigate the protocol in the site at bottom.
Hunger diminishes, reserve fat is burned and structural fat is left
alone, metabolism increases.
