on another note, i wanted to start eating more of a mediterranean diet that is more fish, bean/legume, olive oil, vegetable based and where meat is only introduced sparingly (and if so, only as a side). this diet is extremely time-consuming to prepare meals and expensive. i don't think i have the patience.
You'll always have hummus in a pinch.

I thought we had a dieting thread? Maybe we do.
Anyway, I'm posting to say I'm jumping on the Whole 30 bandwagon this January, starting today. I had to get a gigantic New Year's Day brunch in, and my wife and I had pasta and a nice bottle of wine last night to celebrate my last night as a carb loaded man for a while.
I'm well aware of the criticisms of this diet. "You won't get all yr nutrients cutting out nuts and grains", "you will relapse hard afterwards", "you won't lose weight". Blah Blah. I want to stress that I eat far too much bread and cheese. I've been eating too much sweet treats lately too. I could also afford to cut booze for a month. I think restricting myself to meats, veggies and fruit for a month would do me a bit of good.
Anyway, I'm excited about this challenge and I'm wondering how many RMers have had mental or physical success in the past? Main thing I hope to get out of this is to not feel so bloated and tired all the god damn time.
we've done it a few times now..first time was tough because i love my pasta but you get over it...i did cheat with alcohol however, I'm not stupid

I'm not going to cheat, but there's a GM conference in Austin I'll be attending later this month that is going to be tough. Lots of beer and liquor vendors hosting the events.

We're on a similar plan, Chris. I'll have a few during football on a Sunday, though. And holidays that don't fall on a Friday or Saturday. And days before holidays that don't fall on a Friday or Saturday. Vacations are something else, as well.

I am going nuclear this week, to offset the holiday gluttony. I'm running miles every day and eating so much fiber i might need to wear an adult diaper.
just bought some of these to dial up the tempo
i have found if you dry them and heat them in the skillet with a few drops of sesame oil it takes away the funk smell almost entirely
then douse them in pasta sauce or whatever

Day 3 with no added sugar after an extended sweets binge (basically ate whatever was put in front of me since my kid was born). So far this has been easy.*
*I'm allowing Cholula and Sriracha into my diet which each have a tiny bit of added sugar

confucius say agave sweeter than sugar but lower calorie

Ok here's a go-to vegetarian recipe we do all the time:
Roasted Cauliflower Enchiladas
One head cauliflower 1 cup frozen corn kernels 1 can black or pinto beans, rinsed and dried with paper towels One bag shredded mexican cheese blend One 16oz jar enchilada sauce, red or green (we use Cook's Organic) 10 tortillas Avocado Fresh cilantro Garlic powder Pepitas
1. Pre-heat oven to 400F
2. Chop cauliflower up into small pieces. Toss with EVOO and garlic powder. Roast at 400F for 20 minutes, tossing once in between.
3. Once the cauliflower is done, turn the oven down to 350F.
4. Rinse beans, then toss in a large bowl with cauliflower, corn kernels, 1/4c of the enchilada sauce, and about 1/4c of cheese.
5. Lightly cover the bottom of your baking dish with a little of the enchilada sauce (just enough so the tortillas don't stick to the bottom too much).
6. Roll enchiladas in your baking dish. This will be messy.
7. Cover with the rest of the sauce and as much cheese as you'd like.
8. Bake at 350F for 30 minutes.
9. Garnish with a ton of cilantro, some pepitas, and some sliced avocado.
You can freeze the leftovers and reheat them another night.

We're making eggplant and egg tonight. I really don't know what that is or what to expect besides eggplant and egg. Apparently it's a Filipino thing my wife grew up on.

Looking for some solid, healthy smoothies recipes. Anyone have some faves? Never been in the smoothie game before, but when I made them they were all 100% fruit based. Looking for some that I can have for any meal.
