Kurt’s New Diet

Posted by glutenfreak on

After visiting my friend in North Carolina, he quickly saw how my revamped diet played a part in healthy weight loss and lean muscle gain. As a result, he asked if I could steer him in the right direction. Below is a basic overview of what he can and can not eat and some links to get visuals. He luckily doesn’t have as many restrictions as I do so there are some corn and sucrose-laden items on there.

Enjoy!

Breakfast:

Eggs

Brown rice or white rice (salt, olive oil, parsley)

Gluten free pasta noodles (Brand: Notta Pasta: link: http://amzn.to/1c18f42

Gluten Free English Muffins: (link: http://amzn.to/153Fg9w ) Once toasted, spray with olive oil for flavor and to soften up English muffin

White or Tri-color Quinoa

Need more Taste?

  • Make basic guacamole (sea salt, olive oil, ½ avocado) and throw into warmed up rice or quinoa. Eat as a side dish to eggs
  • Smear basic guacamole on GF English muffins

Tru Roots Gluten Free Pasta (expensive, but one of the more tasty): http://bit.ly/17QBtj1

Salty

*Dip for chips: Make basic guacamole, and heat up rice or quinoa. Mix together, add additional olive oil if needed to make more of a dip consistency, want it to stick to chip.

Seasonings/Dressings:

  • Buy a MISTO!! (best 10 bucks you’ll ever spend): http://bit.ly/19CjhvG
  • Marinade poultry and pork ahead of time (in a giant freezer bag of olive oil, salt and parsley)- do overnight for additional flavor
  • No BBQ sauce
  • No Hot sauce
  • Minimal garlic used on food
