Alternate Foods for Body Enhancement
You may replace some of the "Foods for Body Enhancement" with advantages and disadvantages. First I'll start with the ideal replacements:
Ideal Replacements for Even Better Foods
Add: 3/4 lb. escarole, endive, cilantro, watercress, spinach and/or broccoli.
Replaces: 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds, 1/4 cup sunflower seeds, 1/4 cup almonds, half of the fish oil/salmon, orange/fresh raw produce
Advantages: The omega 6 fatty acids in the nuts are difficult to balance. Even the high amount of fish fats aren't ideal. Eliminating the nuts solves this problem, and reduces the minimum fish fat needed. You may still take extra if you want, but it isn't essential. This way is also higher in phytonutrients like flavanoids (especially the cilantro), which may have uncertain benefits beyond just getting vitamins and minerals. Escarole and endive even contain prebiotics, spinach is high in mixed antioxidants and ALA essential fatty acids and broccoli contains diindolylmethane ("DIM"), the anti-"bad" estrogen substance. This version also has way less calories.
Disadvantages: That's a lot of produce. Leafy produce is light so you're looking at a huge salad bowl, or many smaller bowls. Escarole and endive are pleasant to eat with a nice dressing but expensive and hard to find. Consider growing your own. The other veggies are cheaper but harder to eat a large amount due to bitterness. Selecting multiple different veggies on the list also works and may be easier to eat too. Light cooking is fine and may make it easier to eat spinach and broccoli. Spinach becomes less bitter if cooked in dairy.
Fast Replacement
Add: Mix equal parts spirulina powder, brewer's yeast powder and rice bran. Blend 1/4 cup in a glass of juice with a blender, twice a day. When first starting use only a spoonful, then gradually increase to the full amount as you get used to it. Eat 1 white button mushroom a day, or any other mushroom.
Replaces: 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds, 1/4 cup almonds.
Advantages: Faster as you can blend it into a drink, less omega 6s but still some, so fatty acid balance is a little better though you still need just as much fish fat.
Disadvantages: Not tasty, hard to drink.
Other: This is taken from my first post in this thread. I've since moved on to the tastier version both in my recommendations and for myself. I often forget what's in it so I apologize if I told anyone anything wrong about it off the top of my head. The original version is correct.
Combos
You may mix and match all 3 versions (Nuts, ideal or fast), however you please. For example half of one and half of another. Or use one on one day and another on another day.
