Morning Routine: I boil water then filter it through a Brita system after which I add to this filtered water olive oil, honey, pink Himalayan salt and the juice from a fresh lemon. This drink aids digestion, boosts heart health and supports immunity. 

I just purchased a Life Straw from Amazon which removes Bacteria, Parasites and Microplastics from drinking water. If you are interested in healthy water I recommend the Life Straw which can be found on Amazon at the following link just below the Amazon logo.

Post-Drink Snack: I eat cashews, walnuts, and pumpkin seeds for heart health and immune support.  

Daily Meals: For breakfast, I have low-sugar cereal with berries and Ezekiel bread, or eggs with salsa once a week.  Lunch typically includes yogurt or applesauce, salad with vinaigrette dressing, and a protein source like peanut butter, baked beans, tuna or chicken.  

I also enjoy ginger green tea and a tea consisting of turmeric, honey, black pepper and cinnamon later in the day.

If you are interested in a healthy approach of drinking green tea and drinking Turmeric tea I recommend the Amazon links below for Bigelow Green Tea ( The only Green Tea that I drink ) and McCormick Turmeric, Black Pepper and Cinnamon ( The only brand of spices that I consume ) each just below the Amazon logo.

Summary of my nutritional approach

  • Reduced sugar, salt and carbs.
  • Only drink boiled then filtered water.
  • Eat only fresh fruits and vegetables
  • Consume protein twice daily.
  • Include Healthy Fats (Cashews and Walnuts)
  • Include Supplements (Nitric Oxide, Magnesium, Turmeric and Taurine)
  • Include some other Healthy foods ( Honey, Lemon Juice, Pink Himalayan Salt, Beet Juice, Cinnamon and Tyme)
  • Include Healthy Seeds ( Chia, Fennel and Pumpkin )

Conclusion: I've maintained over 50 lbs. of weight loss for almost 2 years through a balanced regimen of diet, rucking and weight lifting. Even though I started this journey before retirement, these changes are achievable for anyone at any age.
