What is your food/eating philosophy?

Question

Are you vegan? Paleo? Do you buy organic? What about processed foods? Just curious.

I try to eat the rainbow, meaning I eat as many different colors (naturally occurring in fruits and veggies) in any given day. I try not to buy food that comes in boxes or cans and I only buy the best quality meat. I go meatless once or twice a week, but mostly cause I like tofu and beans.  I like to cook so cooking from scratch is my go to.   We eat out once or twice a week, mostly Vietnamese, Thai, or Japanese.

Answer

I eat anything that is chocolate.

Answer

I'm in a weird position because I have some sensitivities that can cause migraines, and I have to watch when I eat as much as what I eat.

So - I can't eat fruit, or anything that might spike my blood sugar early in the day. So I have to have meat and some carbs and lots of water. Protein bars are a godsend... Can't have dairy, I'm allergic. Can't have too much processed food. Can't go vegetarian, my body can't handle it. Can't follow a diet because it's a balancing act as to what my body will accept and I have to be ready to eat the right thing, even if it looks unhealthy, at the right time to keep my blood sugar and brain chemistry ticking over.

So my eating habits look stupid from the outside and I'm doing everything wrong, apparently. But apart from being a total carnivore, I eat normally and intuitively.

Answer

I'm a vegan, I was raised vegan and tend to stay that way. Haha

Answer

I used to be really similar to you, and I am trying to get back that way. 
My husband and I have both gained weight the past couple years and have gotten really lazy.. So we are trying to find our healthy ways again. 
I used to follow the "eat clean" rules... Lots of veggies, fruits, beans, lean meats, healthy fats... Minimal processed foods, sugar, bad fats....
I miss how I felt when I ate that way!

Answer

I've been a vegetarian for 10 years. I mostly am vegan at home. I like to focus on high protein & iron and I track my food on myplate which gives you a days end nutrition value. I notice most days I have the daily recommendations for everything. I am noticing a pattern of not taking in enough potassium. My doctor said that I get potassium from my BC.. Im wondering if it was a language barrier.. Does anyone know if that's true?

Answer

I am trying to eat healthier.. Rainbow plates and shakes. I am not fond of many veggies so I will try to get an organic juice.
