Odidnetne Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 In the past couple of years I've normally bought in season fruits (normally for cost purposes), but this is the first year that I haven't touched summer fruit because of a lack of craving. Since it's gotten a bit cooler (though it's still 62 degrees on November 30th at 9:40 pm). In the spring and summer, no day was complete unless I had slammed down 5 - 8 kiwis. Cantaloupe was a common breakfast and I'd have 2 fruit smoothies with tons of berries everyday. Now that it's cooled off, I find that I'm eating a lot of oatmeal, apples, and nuts (vegetables too, but I find this has become a bit of a staple of my diet), and I find it interesting that my body is going into a "Find fats for winter famine/hibernation" mode. So what is everyone else eating that may be different from their spring/summer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelhobson Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 We have been eating a lot of perfectly ripe apples and pears from a local market. Our little girls really love these and raw carrots. Butternut squash and sweet potatos are also very good this time of year. We too have been eating more nuts.

pelicanAndrew Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 I've been craving nuts like mad and i'll probably pick some up at the store tommorow. I drank half a gallon of soy milk today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 I guess because of what's been happening at home, I've been eating a bit more junk that normal, some biscuits and stuff, bwah... But also, after watching the video that Raven posted, I tried eating some steamed kale, which I got on okay with, which is super, considering how healthy it's meant to be. Also I remembered I have 2 tubs of yeast flakes so I've been having that with stuff, yum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zack Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Lately it's been oats, beans, some nuts, lots of peanut butter, and pastas. I'm eating alot of fruit as well. I'm trying to eat more veggies, but I like fruit more. I ate 60 grams of protein worth of chickpeas today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kale's flavor really peaks after a light frost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robert Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 I've been eating like Brendan Brazier. Lots of greens, salads, raw foods, tons of fruits, dates, Vega, lots of bananas, and some non-raw stuff like tofu curry with rice. Lately I've been a lot more like Rawbert hanging around Brendan and Tonya. I still like my burritos and last week I ate an entire package of pasta (8 servings or more) in 5 hours. I need to do a cleanse soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 i just ate another big bowl, with lots of kale, some brocolli and some TVP. KALE. Just look at this table for how many tables these foods could powerbomb you through: Cola can't even get you through one table!

Guest Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 I've been eating a lot of cereal lately...I don't know why and I wasn't doing it for months and months but I don't mind...I don't feel much different and my training intensity hasn't really gone up much but I'll switch back when it does.

Michelle Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 i ate so much kale today it was insane. It's great. My diet has really picked up since listening to Dr Fuhrman. Kale is awesome. I added it to some soup last week, along with some carrots, beans, lentils and other nutritious stuff. YUM! Years ago, when I worked at a Wendy's, we used kale to decorate the salad bar. It went on top of the ice and between the crocks of food. I thought it was much prettier than anything else on the salad bar, and I'd nibble on it sometimes. I asked someone why we didn't serve it too, and they told me "No, you don't eat kale. It's just for decoration." How absurd is that? Serve the iceberg lettuce, grated cheese, and cold pasta, then use the kale as decoration? Ha! Glad I know better now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odidnetne Posted December 5, 2006 Author Share Posted December 5, 2006 Ugh, I worked at a Wendy's, I'm sure that's 80% of the reason why I'm on this forum today. I don't eat kale very often, but I've been wanting to up my greens (actually my vegetable intake as a whole) as of late, so I might start eating a lot more.
