My mother is a certified nutritionist so she has this diet plan for me.  I've been on this diet plan for over 18 months being a D1 tennis player.  Now that I am transitioning over to golf, I am still sticking to this diet plan but with a smaller portion since golf does not require as much energy as tennis.  Highly recommend to athletes in all sports

 

- Breakfast at 6am:  whole grain toast, scramble egg, one avocado, 1 banana, and 12oz of smoothie made from banana, avocado, strawberries, blue berries, spinach

- Golf at 7am until 10am

- snack at 10am:  whole grain toast on avocado, fresh squeeze orange juice, almond milk, and 12oz of smoothie made from banana, avocado, strawberries, blue berries, spinach

- golf from 11am until 1pm

- lunch at 1pm:  white eggs with zuchini, gluten free pasta with tomato sauce & chicken, one mango and 12oz of smoothie made from banana, avocado, strawberries, blue berries, spinach

- golf from 2pm until 5pm

- snack at 5pm:  One mango and three oranges

- golf from 5:30pm until 7:30pm

- dinner @8pm:  one bowl of Lentils soup, three rows of sushi, one mango and 24oz of smoothie made from banana, avocado, strawberries, blue berries, spinach

 

 

My smoothie recipe is similar except I added:

1 teaspoon of apple cider vinager

1 table spoon of each: chia seeds, flax seeds, cinnamon, turmeric and raw cacoa

My diet plans for my client are based off whole foods and minimal processed junk.  Also, dieting is all about two things.  Insulin manipulation and calories in and out.  There are several different ways/diets to get there, but it all comes down to those two factors.

^^^^^^1000% this.      Diet is about insulin control.    Eating a bunch of times a day is pure nonsense and the only reason you have to do it is because you eat way too many carbs & are always hungry.    Protein, fat, control carbs.  Jason Fung, Ben Bikman, Gary Taubes….and no more need for 8 small meals a day with insulin always up.   Btw, that “magical” kale cant sniff the rear end of this Ribeye.  The myth of veggies & whole grains & seeds is just that, a myth.   Of the 3 macros theres only 1 not needed for survival, and thats carbs.  

6am - 2 ounce raw liver (frozen)

6am to 2pm - coffee/HC/butter if i want

2pm-  cheese, eggs, bacon

530pm - only big meal of day. Some kind of Meat/fish/dairy. Eat until FULL/Satisfied

6pm-  coffee if you want

Rinse & repeat    Never hungry, never dealing with sugar spikes & then drops

over 3 yrs eating this way.  down 50lbs, all bloodwork improved drastically, blood pressure down and havent eaten a Veg in 2yrs.    Do your research and eat the diet that you trust & believe in.  Dont blindly follow anything     Doctors/Nutritionists have contributed to the highest obesity & diabetes in this countries history.   They have been more wrong than anyone cares to admit   😉

That’s more fruit in one day than I eat in a year! (Not counting the muddled orange in my vodka). My sister has a degree in nutrition- she lost weight by fasting. I just don’t believe in eating that often. You need energy to find food, not by eating food. Just looks like way too much sugar for my blood (pun intended) regardless of the sources.

 

Good luck either way.

Amen to this right here ^^^^^

If you have an active lifestyle, your diet really does not matter much until you are around 40. You are way overthinking this. Unless you are eating mcdonalds every day you are fine. Im 37 years old, i play golf once a week and hit the gym once a week. im 6'1 185

I beg to differ.  I see and know plenty of young people that eat like s*** that lead active lifestyles that aren't healthy.  It's not just what you look like, but also how healthy you actually are through labs.

One doesn't necessarily have to eat whole foods that have corn based sugar or whatever, because after all counting calories accounts for that. It's also hard to avoid preservatives anymore w/o spending a lot of money, especially if one has to eat out a lot for work. I believe maintaining bf at a low level and doing exercises frequently in addition to counting calories is the best most people could hop to attain. Also, sleeping on an empty stomach is great for insulin levels, it also increases energy.

People say that but there is really no evidence that "bad labs" in a 30-year-old contribute to an earlier death or poor performance. LeBron James is known for pre game meals at Waffle House and Dennys with all-american breakfast and 4 pancakes covered in syrup. He then burns it all off during the game. Dustin Johnson, who I hear is pretty good at golf, drank coca-cola on the course his first couple years on tour. It Tiger Woods ate this diet he would be starved to death by 2pm. His book talks extensively about a balanced meal and it looks nothing like the pictures here.

Last part of your statement is very true.  They say that all that counts in the end is cals in and out but I disagree on that.  You can't eat sugar all day and expect to be healthy and get down to healthy body fat levels.  It creates insulin resistance which in turn eventually leads to type 2 diabetes.  Also, most type 2 diabetics tend to be fat/obese and have a whole slew of problems like heart issues, circulation issues, etc.  Like I stated before, it's all about cals in and out AND maintaining good insulin levels.  As for eating organic whole foods, one doesn't have to do so.  It's costly to do so.  However, I would advise one not to lean towards processed foods as much due to their high levels of preservatives and other s*** that's in them.

With all due respect about the eating sugar all day long I do that in small amounts but also only have 8-9% bf plus I sleep on an empty stomach and I've been doing it for 5 years now. I also exercise frequently. My mother has checked my blood for insulin and it's good. In other words I believe the amount of bf and the other things I mentioned have a lot to do with how much sugar our body can tolerate.

That's great and all, but age catches up to all of us including you.  What your body can handle now, will be different when you get older, I promise you that.  Btw, how old are  you?

I'm 56 and work out 4 days a week with relatively heavy weight plus I practice swing at home a lot as well. Fasting, bf and exercising change the way our body handles food.

I started counting calories 5 years ago and like most I was overweight, like 25 lbs even though I considered myself in shape.
