I am repeating myself but...
Gts keeps talking about vegitables. Vegitables are low calorie.
I think I recall making 500 calorie days that supply the RDA.
In practice I found it difficult to eat four gallons of vegitables.
As many as you can manage seems to be the guideline for
low calorie vegitables (the only high calorie ones that come
to mind are carrots, yams, sweet potatos, beets and some
squashes ).
Optimized Food Guide Pyrimid verses Paleodiet means
whole grains, legumes and lowfat dairy verses more lean
meats, fish and fruits. Maybe more of those high calorie
vegitables.
If I were not into life extension and not considering caloric
restriction I might be tempted to split the differance and
call it good. Replace half of my whole grains, legumes
and dairy with fruits, fish and lean meats. That sounds
yummy. It's much better than most experts ask for and
even Paleodiet folks might not bitch if 500 of my calories
are less than optimal. Every good diet ought to allow some
junk food for pleasure and flexibility.
Maybe diets are all about vegitables. Vegitables taste good
when I am really hungry and are not very palitable otherwise.
Maybe I should write a diet book. Just enough non vegitable
foods to supply known needs, a little bit of junk, and then all
the vegitables you can eat. You can flavor the vegitables any
way you want provided the flavoring adds negligable calories.
Raw, cooked, whatever. Hard to stay overweight on such a
diet. Some hunger but few cravings. To maintain you just eat
a little more of the non vegitables. One can loose weight really
fast on such a diet. It's better to eat more non vegitables and
loose weight slowly but if you want fast it's relatively healthy.
