Below I’ve listed what, currently, I try to eat on a daily basis. This, is not, of course, everything I eat nor do I eat everything on the list every day. But these are the foods I try to stick to as my primary fuel for life and for longevity. Here, I have to say that the less I eat the better I tend to feel as a general rule. The problem is that I’m not very disciplined when it comes to hunger. I’d love to eat in a 3-6 hour window in an average day (a fasting strategy) and I frequently/periodically am able to do so, but not with any regularity. But I am able to stick to a diet where the primary foods I eat are in the list below. They’re what I like to eat. I’m into fiber for pooping. I’m into protein because I think it’s good for me mentally and physically. I like fats because they tend to give me energy and can be quite tasty.

I primarily use a microwave to cook. My cooking in not characterized by a high level of refined and sophisticated food preparation strategies and techniques. I don’t actually consider what I do cooking. You might ask about fruits and vegetables. Fruits are great. I really like them. I just don’t buy them because of a belief that proteins and fats are better for me than the sugars in fruit. I buy fruit periodically but I do not try to eat fruit everyday with the exception of blueberries.

Vegetables, however, is something I consume with regularity. I buy frozen vegetables (Google ‘frozen vegetables versus fresh vegetables’). I mix them into a big bowl and put them into a container. I generally have about ten different vegetables in the mix, depending on what is available when I shop. Then, when I’m eating chicken, fish, or meatballs I cut the protein rich foods into small pieces and add it to the veggie mix to taste covered with olive oil and what spices are appropriate to the blend. I really like the food I cook. I like it a little too much, actually. I’ve always had a healthy appetite.

Note that I do supplement my diet with vitamins and minerals. I have no particular recommendations as to supplements other than to experiment as to what works best for you. My belief is that your body will tell you what it needs. The biggest problem is interpreting what your body is telling you. Plus your body isn’t always your best friend. Your mind tends to be a short term mind. It will tell you that it needs pizza, cheeseburgers, milkshakes and double hot fudge sundaes with awesome regularity. At least mine does. It’s only trying to help me be satiated as best it can and I don’t think my mind appreciates the word discipline like it should.
