Day 10
Challengers! you guys are doing great, here are a few things i'm noticing becoming trends that need to be addressed:
1) vegetables!!!! you guys can all handle more veggies, i know fruit is sweet and great but veggies are where we need to focus our intake. the more the better, not only to buffer acid in meat but to reduce the sugar carbs going in. More veggies, more veggies!! can't say it enough.
2) almonds, almond butter, almond meal. Try and focus more on eating walnuts as snacks and limit 1 serving per day of almond butter OR almond meal, not both. here is why: The omega-6 to omega-3 ratio in nuts should be 2 to 1. omega-6 is not good, omega-3 is great for you( think seafood, omega 3 enhanced eggs). Walnuts have a ratio of 4.2 to 1, macadamia nuts are 6.3 to 1, cashews are 47.6 to 1, and almonds don't contain any omega 3's!! so the ratio is non existant. remember we want 2:1 or as close as we can get. any questions let me know. yes almonds are good for you but in moderation, not 6 servings a day. So to sum up... eat nuts, more walnuts than almonds, and you will be fine.oh and if you have a food processor you can make walnut or cashew butter yourself. ask me how.
3)Raisins and dried fruit. Raisins and dried fruits should only be consumed in the 30 min window post exercise. Reach for grapes instead of raisins during the day. They are very similar. They can be kept cold or even frozen (my wife's favorite snack) and have similar nutrients to raisins.
That is enough party crashing for one day, like i said y'all are doing awesome, I'm hearing great results and charlie and i are blown away by the level of commitment we are seeing. KEEP IT UP!!
and remember.....
