We're Going Green

Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it.  They will be yours for food.  And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground-everything that has the breath of life in it-I give every green plant for food."  Genesis 1:29-30

The major change that I am implementing into my diet and my family's diet is the addition of more greens.  My goal is to have some form of greens in every meal.  Here's a sample of my daily diet:

Pre and Post Workout:
  Green Smoothie
Breakfast:
  Pumpkin Protein Bar
  1/2 pear
  Green Tea
Snack
  Grapefruit
  Celery w/ Almond butter
  Green Tea
Lunch:
  Romaine lettuce w/ chicken, orange, almonds, balsamic vinagrette
Snack:
  Pumpkin protein bar
Dinner:
  Tilapia & Sun-dried Tomatoes w/ sauteed spinach and tomato
Snack:
  Protein shake

I am limiting my intake of dairy to only whey protein in my post workout shake and casein protein shakes before bed.  I am also limiting my intake of grains. I have added in the following Super Foods:  Chlorella, Spirulina and Wheat Grass.  I am taking these in capsule form and also have powdered Spirulina for my green smoothies but I am not very fond of the taste.  You can learn more about them at http://www.chlorellafactor.com/.

Try adding at least one green thing to your diet at each meal.  A diet rich in greens can help you lose weight, stay energized and help prevent many diseases.

Go Green!
