What should I filet next? There is no fish I can't filet.

what were your tuna's names on the old board?

Could've finessed that into a betta fish joke and made ruddo laugh.

I'm enjoying a salmon ponzu bowl right now. Half rice and half spring mix. Hawaiian Poke is about as easy and as healthy as it comes.

Farfalle, mushrooms, spinach and olive oil. Topped with parmesan.

I’ve never had farfalle

Roasted halved spaghetti squash with sage browned butter and pecorino Romano

Lots of grilling this time of year. Marinated chicken breasts with your choice of veggie. Usually an iced tea or something to wash it down.

Grilling is one of life's simplest pleasures.

Indeed. I wish I would get more into smoking meats, but I just don't have the patience.

Pan-seared pork chops with butter, salt, pepper and a splash of Irish cream and roasted broccoli with olive oil, sea salt and parmesan.

Chicken breast with heavy whipping cream, lemon and capers over angel hair.

Cucumber and carrot pasta tossed with avocado, pine nuts and ponzu.

I thought we had a dieting thread? Maybe we do.

Anyway, I'm posting to say I'm jumping on the Whole 30 bandwagon this January, starting today. I had to get a gigantic New Year's Day brunch in, and my wife and I had pasta and a nice bottle of wine last night to celebrate my last night as a carb loaded man for a while.

I'm well aware of the criticisms of this diet. "You won't get all yr nutrients cutting out nuts and grains", "you will relapse hard afterwards", "you won't lose weight". Blah Blah. I want to stress that I eat far too much bread and cheese. I've been eating too much sweet treats lately too. I could also afford to cut booze for a month. I think restricting myself to meats, veggies and fruit for a month would do me a bit of good.

Anyway, I'm excited about this challenge and I'm wondering how many RMers have had mental or physical success in the past? Main thing I hope to get out of this is to not feel so bloated and tired all the god damn time.

on another note, i wanted to start eating more of a mediterranean diet that is more fish, bean/legume, olive oil, vegetable based and where meat is only introduced sparingly (and if so, only as a side). this diet is extremely time-consuming to prepare meals and expensive. i don't think i have the patience.
