I have done this method of nutrition before, a slow carb way as it is typically titled. As opposed to totally avoiding carbs, which is completely impossible seeing as veggies and fruits have carbs, I am trying to go for something a little longer lasting, digestive wise.
The closest thing to what I am doing, that I can find, is the 4 hour body diet, Tim Ferris wrote a book on it. You can check it out, but in all honesty I disagree with his supplementation and with the no fruit rule. He claims that you should not eat fruit since it goes straight to sugar. Silly in my opinion. For example; grapes are great for you, as long as you don't eat a pound of them at a time.
Anyway, its time for me to move onto a new university (finally). ADU is from Florida, and their nursing program seems promising. I start in Fall. I have to call the lady tomorrow to register for classes. I want to get the basics, like philosophy of health care and whatever out of my way this semester. I hope the majority are all online, that way I can take more credit hours and rock it the whole semester.
Anyhoo. Its back to clean eating for me. The garden is in full fledge om nom nom mode. LOTS of zucchini to eat. Tonight I threw a recipe together, just based off of my own tastes. I threw into a crock pot:
4 cups cubed zucchini (probably more than that, we have a ton growing)
1/2 onion chopped
1 24oz jar marinara sauce (Ragu onion and mushroom I thing. It was on sale.)
1 14.5oz can tomatoes with juice
4 cloves garlic minced
1 tsp thyme
1tbsp pesto sauce (was gonna do basil, but I had this in the fridge open)
1 lb ground italian sausage
1/2lb ish chicken breast, pre cooked kind
salt and pepper to taste
Threw this all together in a large crock pot for 6 hours on high while I am sleeping. My pot automatically goes to a 'warm' setting after the timer is up. Kitchen smells amazing.
I actually have to be getting in bed right now. I have a CPR renewal class at the hospital I work at at 8am tomorrow morning. The only sucky thing about working nigh shift.....its almost 12:30am and I am still wide awake. But I love my crew. Wouldn't change it for the world. Bed time.
May Goth be with you.
