What kind of diet do you follow and recommend Dr. M?
I prefer a high nutrient density diet with good amounts of animal protein and fat and green vegetables.
A good guide to this is Nourishing Traditions: The Cookbook that Challenges Politically Correct Nutrition and Diet Dictocrats by Sally Fallon and Mary Inig.

Of course not. :p
In psychiatry, the less a person knows about me, the easier it is to read their minds.
When the psychiatrist is a blank wall, everything a patient does is a reflection of their conscious and unconscious thoughts. Even their opinion about me becomes a projection of their own internal thoughts rather than an actual opinion of me.
Thus it is important in psychiatry to be as anonymous as possible.
I have forgotten that a few times and when answering a question then proceeded to ask it back to my own doc with the intention of being polite as force of habit as thou it were small talk or a greeting, I then usually realize while speaking that I was being asked as a patient and the session had started lol. Once I came late because parking is so impossible and erratic in Brooklyn NYC, he had given up on me and started to walk to the quality food market, so I caught up to him and we had an abbreviated session while I saw his diet first hand.
I wonder if any one has any idea as to how many carbs one should eat not including the ones from vegetables. I have found that I don’t get sick during a work out if ingesting enough carbs before hand, seems obvious but I was so crazy about avoiding simple carbs and carb counting in general for years. This is because I never got lean, thinking back I probably would have had more sufficient work outs that were less mentally taxing resulting in me working out more often.
I also find that eating no carbs makes me nauseous, even more so than just not eating at all. I always have room for a steak and its easy to consume with out bread. Bison burgers are good also but I usually end up using a bun, which I guess should be avoided. I can be very strict with my diet and really the only problem is not my will but more convenience and time. I have made an effort to eat more, as I have been eating way too little for a long long time and to avoid eating badly would just not eat for half the day due to healthy food not being available. I force feed my self a protein shake with 1% milk and 30ml’s of fish oil every morning(too much?) as I have no appetite.
I hope (3 scoop)whey shakes with 2-4 cups 1% milk are a good choice, because if not things would be much harder. I wonder how much steak is too much? and what the total amount of carbs fat and protein are ideal. I will buy that book when I get a chance.
Can any one tell me if raw vegetables are unhealthy to eat. I was at first under the impression raw vegetables held more of the “good stuff” but then read and heard that some vegetables such as broccoli are goiterans and can deplete one of iodine. I am curious if this really poses any significant threat to iodine and or the thyroid in comparison to the benefit of the actually vegetables. I doubt I could force myself to eat much cooked soggy broccoli, my method now has been to dip it in salad dressing and can eat alot this way( I know I sound like a baby). I didn’t eat them for years until this new method, we don’t have site down family meals in my house, were like hooligans who each have our own schedules.
sorry If I went on and on but this forum is interesting since every one obviously has the same interests/goals and I haven’t seen much activity since discovering it the other day.
You need the book Dr. M suggested. Get it at the library. Most of them have it. Don’t eat protein shakes or lowfat/nonfat milk. They are not whole foods and lowfat/nonfat milks contain oxidized cholesterol which causes heart disease. Cholesterol in its natural state is good for you but when it oxidized it is dangerous. You should eat most of your vegetable lightly cooked. Yes some of the vitamins are destroyed but even more nutrients are made available to the body by cooking. Cruciferous vegetable like broccoli should be cooked (steam it a little and put real butter on it) and spinach should be steamed. It is best not eaten raw. Go to the Weston A. Price Foundation website (founded by one of the author’s of Nourishing Traditions) and you can get tons of information on all the topics you have asked about. They have a search box and you can search many, many topics : protein shakes, real milk, excersie, vegetables, fats, cholesterol, etc. Good luck!

So you are saying protein shakes are bad for you? I drink rice and hemp protein shakes after workout and sometimes at breakfeast, never heard of shakes being bad for you.

Please tell me the ingredients and I’ll tell you what’s bad in it.
Rice Protein= enzymatically processed rice protein from whole grain brown rice, rice syrup solids, natural chocolate and vanilla flavors.
Hemp Protein= Raw certified organic hemp protein
Here are the words that raise red flags: “enzyme” anything, “processed”, “protein”, “natural…flavors”. Very often when you see these words you can expect MSG to be present. It is not listed on the label because they did not “add” it but it was formed during the processing. The word “processed” alone on any ingredient list is not a good sign. Also know that natural chocolate flavor is not the same thing as chocolate. Ditto for vanilla. By FDA definition, all MSG is “naturally occurring”. “Natural” doesn’t mean “safe”. “Natural” only means that the ingredient started out in nature. For more info on key words that tell you MSG may be present go to truthinlabeling.org or the Weston A. Price Foundation website and seach “msg”.
We’ve been given such wonderful food in nature for us to eat. Don’t be fooled into spending your hard earned money on so-called “food” that was made in a laboratory. And don’t bother asking the guy at the health food store. He has no idea what REALLY is in those packages and jars.
Go get that book and you will have an “Ah-ha!” moment that will last your entire life!
What about protein from these custom websites that allow you to pick the protein source as well as the sweetner and flavoring.
As for that otherwebsite thanks I’ll check it out.
For me what works the best is simply to avoid eating unhealthy. In that way, I do not obsess over certain diets nor become ill because of what I eat. Foe me a diet should never become a goal unto itself unless there is a certain condition that requires it.
If the protein doesn’t come in the source of a whole food then it is not food. Your protein should be in the form of a piece of meat (grass-fed), or whole eggs (preferably from pastured chickens), raw whole milk etc. Taking a whole food apart and making things out of it -like a protein something or other- and putting it together with other not-whole foods is how we’ve gotten into the health mess we are in. I’m not talking about a “diet” here. I’m talking about eating normal, real food. Not made up combinations of weird stuff. Almost every single item in your average supermarket (and health food store) is made up of “value added” fake foods that make a huge profit for a huge corporation and make people sick. We are so used to seeing strange ingedients on food labels that they don’t look strange to us anymore. We assume because they sell it in the store it must be o.k. We’ve been brainwashed and lied to. Don’t fall for gimmicks and lies. Dr. M’s recommendation is spot-on. He knows what he is talking about.
Thanks, Is there any protein drinks that are good? If not, what are you suppose to eat/drink postworkout? I always thought this was a good time for a protein shake.
Are single ingredient foods the best foods available? Thanks
