My eating plan has evolved little by little over several years now to the the point that it looks like a modified Plant Paradox plan. I like the plant paradox concepts but I removed anything processed or that comes in a box allowing for flax seed Nut Thins (because there is just nothing I like better with my sardines) and the occasional ice cream. Even though red wine is allowable on the PP plan, I find that it makes me feel terrible but port and rum do not. So be it.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>The critical thing has been to focus on foods that I personally enjoy eating, make me feel energetic, keep my mood even and support my athletic endeavors.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>But with any eating plan comes the danger that you might be missing out on specific nutrients. I wanted to know if my current vitamins where the right answer or if maybe I could find a single vitamin that would do the trick. So in full autistic OCD style, I did a FULL nutritional analysis of everything I eat. Here is what I found..<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>I had very small deficiencies of only a few things:<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Vitamin E &#8211; 1 mg per day<\/div>\n<div>Niacin &#8211; 2 mg per day<\/div>\n<div>Zinc &#8211; 4 mg per day<\/div>\n<div>Vitamin D &#8211; 1 mcg per day (equivalent to 40 IU)<\/div>\n<div>Calcium &#8211; 60 mg per day<\/div>\n<div>Sodium &#8211; 681 mg per day &#8211; OK that one is not small, I have started salting my breakfast<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Other than the sodium, the other deficiencies are small. I was able to find a really nice vitamin supplement that would cover this all nicely in one pill per day with breakfast.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>As I compared my previous vitamins to others that I found on amazon and other places, I was amazed at the differences. You cannot assume that any random multivitamin will have what you need. What I learned from this exercise is that you need to be aware of what what you are getting and what you need to supplement; and you need to examine your supplements in detail. Not all have iron, not all have enough magnesium or iodine or other critical vitamins and minerals. Caveat Emptor!<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>For your enjoyment, I have attached the insanity that is just tab one of my my nutritional spreadsheet. I am not saying you need to go as in depth as I did BUT this was an eye opener and it certainly would not hurt. If you want to see what I am eating, there is more detail here than you can possibly want.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><strong>The best result from this analysis is this: my plate is no longer a place of restriction. My plate is a competition &#8211; foods have compete to earn a place on my plate and my body is thanking me for this new mindset.\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><strong>How would your meals change if food had to compete to be part of your food plan?<\/strong><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><a href=\"http:\/\/kathryncolleen.com\/studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Nutrition-Database.numbers-MAIN.pdf\">Nutrition Database.numbers-MAIN<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A detailed account of the author&#8217;s modified Plant Paradox eating plan and an exhaustive nutritional analysis of her diet, identifying small vitamin and mineral deficiencies and stressing careful scrutiny of supplement labels.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1026,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","episode_type":"","audio_file":"","podmotor_file_id":"","podmotor_episode_id":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","filesize_raw":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","itunes_episode_number":"","itunes_title":"","itunes_season_number":"","itunes_episode_type":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[670,673,671,633,674,530,672,675],"class_list":["post-1025","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-diary","tag-analysis","tag-diet","tag-eating","tag-energy","tag-health","tag-nutrition","tag-plan","tag-strength"],"acf":{"recommend_blurb":"Helpful for anyone tuning an eating plan or choosing a multivitamin.
