#009 – Easy Recipes

by //

2 ingredient pancakes, banana & egg.

With the new workout routine I’ve been leaning away from a plant based diet to keep up with protein. Still sticking to whole foods, so there’s been a lot of chicken breast & seafood in my meals lately. These have become my go-to recipes for quick & easy meals.

This episode I go through my menu for the past 2 weeks. Breaking down the recipe & cooking methods as well.

#008 – Reconnecting Macros

by //

Don’t be romantic with what has worked, optimize to grow.

An eventful week. Tweaked my calories & macros. Progressed further bodyweight training. Reconnected with like minded buddies.  I never restructured my diet since I hit my goal weight. After hitting the goal I continued on regularly without strictly tracking macros & calories. It was maintainable. After starting exercise for over 6 months now the old weight cut diet plan isn’t viable anymore.

This episode I go through the new food plan, and reconnecting with buddies who have  become a support group in a short amount of time.

#004 – The Eats

by //

I’m on a 90% whole food plant based diet.

I went from normal diet that consists of weekly fast food to giving up the majority of meat. I love food is an understatement. I don’t just love eating. I love shopping for raw ingredients, cooking dishes from scratch, restaurant hopping for new tastes. Street food to fine dining. A whole food plant based diet may seem inhumane, but the truth is I’ve never enjoyed & appreciated food more than I do now.

This episode I go through the journey of going from a normal everyday diet to vegan, and ultimately a whole food plant based diet.
