I use fruits as desert or as a flavor in my juices/smoothies. I use bannanas as a filler if i get hungry between meals so I don't go snacking on bad foods.
Meat and dairy I dropped because it is imposible to find them clean around here. I don't know any farmers around here and I'm going to eat beef and chicken which was fed with growth hormones, antibiotics and mix of processed corn and dead cow/chicken leftovers, raised knee deep in it's own shit, than irradiated after slaugher to kill bacteria that it was full off, because slaugher houses are in too much rush to actualy wash the shit off the cow before choping it up. I'll pass on e.coli, mad cow, antibiotic resistance, cancer, heart attack, (unfortunatly was too late to pass on gallbladder stones from digesting animal fat). Same goes for milk and eggs since they come from diseased, hormon and antibiotic filled animals. I mean meat and dairy produced in US and Canada is banned in most of the world because of how bad it is, how full of radiation, hormones, antibiotics and bacteria it is; why would i eat it.
That is why the only fish I buy is wild caught. This also makes keeping kosher very easy. It is very easy to replace proteins from meat and dairy with good vegetable proteins: lima beans, lentils, grains, quinoa, chia, flax, spinach, brocoli, mushrooms - all have very high protein content and dont cause any negative sideeffects unlike meat and dairy does.
Again, diet is an individual choice and what you are doing works for you. Ganzo, my family has a history of diabetes and fructose spikes ones blood sugar. That's not an opinion, but simple fact. Ripe bananas are loaded with sugar. I agree it's far healthier eating that versus a snickers, but both are probably doing the same thing spike wise. I personally think a ton of our health issues are related to the huge amount of carbs our bodies are being forced to digest versus what our body was meant to handle. I believe limiting carbs for me is the key to my overall health.
I buy directly from a farmer who has cows, and get 500 pounds of beef at a time. It lasts a good chunk of the year. No slaughter house involved. That said, I have no issues with store bought. You are more likely to get sick and E Coli from 'organic' sources, which is also verified if you google it.
I keep fairly meticulous track of my numbers and I've found limiting fruits, and having some meat and eggs is what works best for me. Most of my meals are about 75% green veggies, and my main goals are to limit processed food and to limit carbs and sugars. I find by doing that my tummy never has any issues and I have high energy and no health problems. I'm not totally ketogenic, but for weight loss I think the more ketogenic one is, the easier it is to lose weight. I think the amount of carbs taken in should be simply what is required for feeling well.. I think for weight loss you need to limit calories, but more importantly you need to watch ratios and understand how ones body reacts to what one eats.
I'm also not limited by kosher choices and include a good chunk of bacon, sausage, and ham in my meals. Fuck giving up my coffee, too. It doesn't hurt me and I it's my one vice left, as I never smoked, wasn't a druggie, and rarely drank.
