Kickas.org Forums Treatments, Drugs and Alternatives NSD and diet-related; what does a typical day look like for you?

im just curious what everyone's diet looks like? what do you all eat?
also, im curious what type of exercise you all get?

thanks!

My diet is really boring right now. I don't really have a lot of time to cook and I'm just very worried about trying things outside of what I think is my safe bubble of food.

In the morning I have yogurt with cultures in it. For lunch I usually have a salad. And for dinner usually chicken and some sort of veggies. I also like to eat eggs quite a bit and sometimes substitute a smoothie or something for a meal. Raisins and organic chocolate ice cream are my go to snacks. Though, I'm trying to cut the ice cream back to maybe once or twice a week.

I've been trying exercise more lately, but everything I usually do is within my apartment and is very low impact. Usually going on my exercise bike and doing situps and pushups and stuff. I really like pullups because I feel like they just stretch my entire back. There's alays a nice crack down my spine when I first get on the pullup bar.

For me, I get up around 9-ish most days since I work from home .

Then for breakfast I usually have either one of the following:

eggs (coconut oil) and avocado
fruit
salad with tons of EVOO
or I do green juice

Lunch is usually more greens with left over protein from night before such as chicken/fish/meat. Sometimes I do eggs for lunch if I had a salad for breakfast.

Dinner is then another giant salad with some protein. Or just steamed greens like Kale, Collards, etc. Make my own dressings with EVOO, spices, maybe some apple cider vinegar and sea salt. I love the infused olive oils too with basil, garlic, lemon!

I throw some nuts in there for snacks. A sheet or two of seaweed and the occasional scoop of ice cream.

Drink a lot of peppermint tea sometimes ginger and love Rooibus (red) tea! Homemade almond milk is great and about once a week I have a decaf latte. This is my guilty pleasure!

For exercise I usually take my dog for 30-45 min walk 3-5 times/week.

Breakfast is usually 1 or 2 huge smoothies:
Nectarines or Peaches, seseame seeds, spinach, dates
coconut milk, big handful of mint leaves or fresh basil, lime juice, honey
raw cacao, dates, homemade almond milk, swiss chard
cherries, coconut milk, lemon, spianch
I just usually combine whatever I have on hand or in the freezer, also like to use pineapple, mangoes, kale, vanilla bean.
Sometimes I make fresh fruit/veggie juices for breakfast or dinner too!

Chia seed pudding with homemade almond milk and dried berries or fresh fruit

Lunch:
Raw Pad Thai (fresh veggies, zucchini noodles, homemade raw thai almond sauce)
Salads with any of the following: Big Pile of Greens, brazil nut "parmesan", bell peppers, sprouts, olives, apples, pears, sprouted nuts, onions, cucumbers, carrots, olive oil, balsamic, lemon infused olive oil, sea salt, homemade dressings....
Thai Style Coconut curry with lots of veggies (There is a great brand of curry paste made locally w/o nasty perservatives that I love!)
Homemade Tom Kha Soup, veggies, seaweed, coconut milk, spices

Dinner:
A big smoothie (with ingredients listed above)
Or Maybe some wild caught fish and satueed chard or veggies
A homemdae veggie based green soup, or coconut curry soup

Snacks:
Raw brownie bars
Raw "cookie" dough
Raw Homemade Chocolates (cacao butter, cacao powder, coconut sugar, sea salt)
Other homemade energy bars with dried fruits, some sprouted nuts
Handful of dried fruit

Excersize: Just yoga class I go to. I am so so busy with working at the winery and catering & teaching raw foods classes, I just put excerise at the bottom of the list. I feel great most days though, and have a ton of energy!

I don't have any problems with dairy or eggs.

Weekdays:

Breakfast: sausage or bacon and applesauce.
Lunch: Cottage cheese and vegetable juice.
Dinner: Salad with grilled chicken chunks (most days) or omelet
Dessert: Smoothie or fruit topped with yogurt.
Snacks: Trail mix [raisins, almonds, cranberries, diced dried fruit mix (pineapple, papaya, apricots, apples)], prunes, apples

Weekends:

Breakfast: cinnamon toast made with coconut flour bread, or omelets, or almond flour pancakes
Snacks throughout day
Dinner: pizza with coconut flour crust, or lasagna made with zucchini in place of noodles, or hamburgers with coconut flour buns, or grilled chicken or almond-crusted fish, or so many other choices (all with veggies on side: green beans, broccoli, grilled zucchini)

NSD does not mean any deprivation or boredom for me.

For exercise, I usually do dumbbell exercises during lunch in my office and ride my exercycle in the evening while watching television.

I am not free of pain, but my diet and exercise keep it low enough that I can continue to have a full life.

My day...

I work from home now as project manager... so a lot of flexability with schedule.

I get up... generally start working. Will play with son for a while and at 12 noon we eat lunch (NSD for me) as family. My son goes to preschool in afternoons and I continue work.

Afternoons I typically have a fruit tea and snack on some walnuts. Around 5pm will eat an apple.

I work typically until 8pm and then around 9pm we eat together as a family (NSD for me).

Argentina they eat later in evenings than in States typically.

Prior to bed I will do stretching exercises.

tim,
what does you daily diet look like?

No cow casein.
No milk (almond milk instead),
no cow cheese (a little goat cheese now and then, romano (sheep's milk cheese),
no ice cream (coconut milk ice cream is excellent,
no cow yogurt (was gonna try goats milk yogurt but then had an intestinal bug).

Blood work showed a casein allergy / sensitivity.

Chicken, turkey, fish, a little grass fed beef or other red meat. A lot of veggies. Fruit in moderation. Nuts. Olives and olive oil. Limited grains (low starch diet for metabolic syndrome). I drink water and teas (mostly herbal, a little green, oolong, occasionally black).

I walk every day that I can.

I bike when the weather is nice; i should do that more often. I should also go to the gym again and ride the recumbent stationary bikes.

Do any of u guys do legumes and/or rice/oat bran for the resistant starch?

A big 'No' from here, since eating more than trace amounts of starch (or lactose) spikes my inflammation to the point where I get eye irritation... having experienced full-blown iritis a few times now, eye irritation spooks me enough to stop eating whatever food I was experimenting with.

P.S. welcome TeenyBee
