Ever since I read David Agus's "A Short Guide to a Long Life": -10 portions of fruit and veggies a day (1 portion: ~ 80g) -No processed foods. -Wild caught fish at least twice a week -Red meat twice a week, at most. -Anything else is fair game, as long as I make it myself so I know what it contains. Pizzas, pasta, burgers, steak, cakes (with stevia instead of sugar). -No supplements of any kind. -No trans fats, addit…
On another note, am I the only one somewhat surprised about how healthy the diets of people here seem to be?
Is that typical of Silicon Valley and the startup scene? Do people there just eat more healthily than the average person in the country?
Where's the startup CEO who's just come back from McDonalds, eats a lot of processed food, barely exercises and spends most of their free time on the internet or watching TV?
Eh, it's fine.
My big thing now is to make sure my gut microbiome is doing well and the little buggers have food, mainly fiber.
Other than that I try to eat a balanced diet which has meat but just nowhere near what most people seem to eat. 90% vegetables, fruit, grains.
I also try to skip meals when possible if I know I'm not going to pig out later on junk food.
tl;dr concentrate on nutrients and low calorie when possible
edit: I should also note I drink water for all meals no pop or juices I treat those as a dessert
I do daily 16:8 fasting (only eat from noon-8pm) and keep things paleo/low carb when eating. Recently I've tried some extended 72-hour fasts and really like them too. The big thing for me is that I love exercising in a fasted state--I'll do 30 mins. of cardio and about 10 mins of bodyweight strength training each day in the most fasted state (right before noon when I break the fast). The combo of eating low carb, int…
Seems like it would approximate ancient conditions our bodies evolved to cope with. Especially the part about working hardest right when you're hungriest, then you get to eat. That sounds like a hunt!

I did a 72 hour water fast and it was so refreshing ! And wow! You more than halved your size. That is absolutely incredible.
Yeah it's wild, here's a before and after: http://imgur.com/hHtyMPF Training to climb Mt. Rainier later this summer--something I could never have imagined being possible 2 years ago.
I try to stick to 40/40/10. That is, 40% protein, 40% carbs, 10% fat. I eat about 5 small meals a day about 3.5 hours between. Usual protein is eggs, chicken, sometimes pork/beef, and supplemented with whey. Carbs are usually multi-grain breads, brown rice, or sweet potatoes. Fats usually nuts and cheeses. I'll throw green veggies into a few of my daily meals. I avoid all refined foods and sugars. I try to stick to t…

During your fast period, do you drink water or abstain from all consumption?
