I have always recommended to our members and athletes at MJBC that Mondays through Fridays be nutritionally loaded and set up for fat burning, high performance eating practices. Basically, following a hunter/gatherer approach to eating is more than anything the most sound, congruent and effective approach to proper nutrition out there. I personnally would not follow or consider any other nutrition program as they are ALL, in my opinion, suboptimal for true health,performance driven results and wellbeing. The members in our program who have enjoyed champion results with performance and weightloss have basically adhered to the tenets of a hunter/gatherer diet with the allowance to break away and "goof off" a bit during one day out of each week. There is science to back up why someone may want or need to ease up on a meal or two during the week. This would be described as a replete or rebounding opportunity to effectively reload or overcompensate depleted glycogen stores in muscle to help juice subsequent workout performance and enhance protein synthesis mechanics. That day usually falls on a 'convenient' Saturday or Sunday and is immediately followed with getting right back on track before the goof off turns into a runaway binge that will quickly stymie most anyone's progress to fatloss and performance results. Here is my sample of a goof off Sunday morning breakfast that will be, in this case, the ONLY meal out of this past week where I breakaway from my normal practice from daily optimal nutrition.
Sunday Morning Breakfast (family style): I made just enough to satisfy our family of five.
-Grilled Veggie Omelet
Last night's left over grilled onion, green, orange, yellow and red pepper,portabello mushroom, eggplant in heated plate and sprayed with PAM. Beat up 8 whole free range eggs and add to pan. (No milk added to omelet)
-8 slices of uncured Nature's Promise bacon (Applegate Farms is another uncured bacon we use)
-MJBC RE-LOAD Pancakes (These are the "goof off " part of today's breakfast)
2 cups Bob's Red Mill (gluten and dairy free) Pancake Mix
3 whole eggs
1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
1 1/2 cups SO DELICIOUS unsweetened and organic Coconut Milk
4 scoops Whey protein
Mix batter and portion out on a heated PAM sprayed pan. Makes 14 x 3"-4" cakes.
Note:These cakes do not need any kind of syrup. They taste awesome! Limit yourself to 3 or 4.
Remember this breakfast was divied up between my wife, myself and our three young boys ages 8-13 yrs.
