HEALTHY EATING AND THE MARTIAL ARTS - page 2
A healthy diet may increase life & enhance overall quality of life.
Day 1
Breakfast: 1-2 servings of water - For the most part, I’m not big on breakfast and get icky if I eat much in the morning. When I eat- 1 serving of soy milk and a grain, flake or granola cereal or a fruit or a 6 oz serving of soy milk blended with fruit in a blender for a natural breakfast smoothie.
Lunch: An apple, a fruit bar, and some kiwi’s or left over food from the night before or salad
Dinner: Big salad (lettuce/spinach, broccoli, nuts, olives, croutons sometimes or celery, mushrooms and peppers with a light dressing). You can get creative with this and use pineapples or mandarin oranges or avocados, etc.
A snack sometimes in evening if still hungry - a fruit bar, a small bowl of cereal, or fruit
Day 2
Breakfast: Same
Lunch: Same
Dinner: 1-2 servings of pasta and tomato sauce with 1-2 servings of bread. (Note, not always best to combine starches with starches, but sometimes you weigh out the possibilities and look at the benefits from the individual food.) With pasta you can add oregano, garlic powder, chili powder, paprika as spices or not, spices won’t effect the weight if in moderation and not allergic to them. You can also add mushrooms, broccoli, carrots, squash, peppers, etc. at your judgment of which ones to add.

Day 4

Dinner: 1 serving of white rice steamed with medley of vegetables (possibilities-baby corn, bamboo shoots, broccoli, legumes/snap peas, etc, green beans, mushrooms, cauliflower, bean sprouts, carrots, water chestnuts, bok choy, peppers, etc.), and baked/grilled or sautéed tofu. All prepared with light sauce low in sodium and fat or no sauce at all if you wish, depends upon mood.

Day 7 Day Off
Breakfast: Same

Day 8
Fast, nothing but water.
Note: Throughout menu plan I consume 6-8 more servings of water a day other than breakfast. Every few days I consume 100% juice with no added sugar- 1-2 servings. About every other day I consume green or herbal tea for relaxation and to disperse toxins. Rarely may I have a cup of coffee in a blue moon. Chai tea is a treat to me on occasion.
