ive been obsessed with cooking and eating good food lately, so heres a typical day of eating. everything is organic, pasture raised etc you know the drill.
breakfast
-usually eggs, cooking them in ghee makes them have such a lovely flavor. i would have that with some tomatoes and cucumbers, maybe some smoked fish. or i like to make oil-free buckwheat muffins with coconut sugar, i'll have that with some fresh buffalo milk cream and blueberry jam. also, coffee and matcha always.
snacks
-i LOVE snacking on fruit and nuts, but if im extra hungry, ill go for yoghurt with raw honey and pumpkin seeds too. always gotta have fruits though, if i dont have some for one day i think ill throw a fit lol.
lunch
-this varies a lot, but grains are a must for me. im not gluten free or low carb at all, i need some carbs to function tbh. usually a bowl with protein, grains and avocado. today i had some homemade turkish "kısır" (bulgur wheat with green onions, red pepper paste, high quality olive oil, parsley and vegetables), 1/2 avocado and some dried/smoked meat.
dinner
-chicken or salmon for dinner, sometimes steak but not often. i'll cook some vegetables in butter or olive oil too, serve it with easy to digest greens and vinegar. my favorite vegetables are... well, whatever is in season. im not selective, and i love variety.
night snack
-tbh, i'll just go for some herbal tea. fennel, chamomile, rosehip or linden. maybe a handful of walnuts or cashews if im really hungry.
and thats it! i know my diet isnt entirely according to "holistic" rules, but this is what works for me. i always appreciate things that come from nature, and nourish my body with what its telling me to eat. whose diet is perfectly aligned with arbitrary rules anyway?
