My diet since April 2017, is the following:
Anything fresh pork. Pork steaks, chops, ribs, etc. I basically never pay more than $2.50/lb for pork. Often get it for $2 and sometimes for less than that.
Eggs. A local Safeway does “repack” dozens, where they consolidate unbroken eggs from broken packs and sell them as good dozens. $0.99 per dozen. If they are out of repacks, a corner store near me sells eggs for $1.40/dozen.
Swiss cheese (Swiss cheese has Vitamin B12, due to the bacteria used to make it. Cheddar and many other common cheeses, do not have B12).
Plain Greek yogurt. Fage brand, with full 5% fat. The large tub is cheaper per ounce, than buying Individual containers. Even when they are on sale.
Raw, de-shelled, unsalted sunflower seeds. Bought from bulk section. Raw means more of the natural phyto nutrients are intact. Similar nutrition as other nuts/seeds. $2.50/lb compared to almonds, which are like $6/lb. I do occasionally get other nuts, however.
Any cruciferous vegetables. Broccoli. Radishes. Cucumbers. Bok Choy. Broccoli is usually cheaper frozen. I try to eat raw veggies for the phyto nutrients. But if I eat frozen or cooked, I chase it with some raw mustard seed powder. As that has a similar chemical as raw broccoli, and is proven to activate the other stuff in the broccoli, radish, etc, for anti-cancer, aging, telomere length, etc.
Avocados. I used to have to wait every couple weeks for 99 cent deals. But a new store opened nearby, which sells them for less than $1, every day.
Frozen blueberries. Add to yogurt. Or eat by themselves. High in anti-oxidants, minerals, and phyto nutrients. Smaller “low” growing or “wild” types have more beneficial properties than the larger “high” growing type, which are also sweeter.
I only cook with grapeseed oil. I also drink it for extra calories. Right now I have some walnut oil because it was on sale. Only for drinking. High in omega 3.
My only “supplements” are whole foods. Raw cacao powder (high in anti-oxidants, fatty acids, etc. One of the highest sources of magnesium). And raw Maca root powder. Also high in good stuff. Particularly beneficial for hormone balance. I usually have Red Maca, which has some particular benefit to prostate health.
No synthetic supps or vitamins. I do have a D3/K oil dropper. It’s supposed to be food sourced and the K is MK-7 from Natto. The fermentation in Japanese Natto creates the most potent form of Vitamin K.
That’s it! Low carb. High fat. High vitamin. Feels amazing. No more midday crash/nap time. Sustained energy for the day. Feel less hungry. Roll out of bed feeling good/ready to go. A lot less morning stiffness. Rarely need to slowly ramp up onto my day. My mental clarity is fantastic and often a bit too much. As a man, my testosterone feels a lot higher. Like when I was 24.
Grainy carbs like bread and cake usually makes my head feel shitty, now. Same with potato chips. Although something like an actual yam is fine. Sugar feels fine. But too much of that stuff and you get those midday crashes and start to feel sluggish and stiff upon rising from bed. I went through a rough reminder, during the holidays with pie, cookies, etc.
