>anything that is super nutrient dense works really at helping me feel at 110%

Can you explain to us what it feels like to "feel at 110%"?

>then I'd get 10x the micro nutrients

10x some micro nutrients, and 0x others.




>Can you explain to us what it feels like to "feel at 110%"?

Hyperbole to quickly explain that my skin is better, my hormone levels are more even, better sleep makes my mood better, less brain fog. So some objective facts like I've improved my skin texture, and better sleep (longer, less interruptions, easier to get to sleep). Then a few subjective things like mood, brain fog, body doesn't hurt as much working out.

Side note I also feel fuller longer and have a hard time over eating, mostly due to having a large amount of both protein and fiber. So its helped me stay much leaner as someone that has issues with bingeing

>10x some micro nutrients, and 0x others.

I think a lot of the reason why it works is that it forces you to be aware of that 0x, and build verity into your diet. I have eggs, quinoa, milk, varieties of beans and nuts to help me meet that 0x, but I also have meat every few weeks you know?

I just started to think about meat being like 15% of the meal not 40%, but protein still be to focus calories wise. So if I made a taco salad it is closer to a 2 to 1 ratio of beans to meat over a kale/spinach mixed with quinoa with a lot of salsa and a little cheese

Plant based as I understand it mostly just means fill your calories with plants first then others like diary, eggs, meats etc. I think its much healthier than restrictive diets like keto, vegan, etc where you flat out can't have some foods. Foods just started to feel like a gradient of more to less optimal


plant based doesn't usually include any meat but yours sounds like a great diet
