I led off with Captain Crunch. It isn't much of a leap to ice cold glass bottle Coke. As for the raw chile and lemon, are we talking jalapeno, habanero, or somewhere in the middle?

I like to eat a lot of vegetables. It makes me feel healthy and feel better about myself. I buy big packets of frozen vegetables, which usually contain three satchels of veggies I can microwave. The ones I get are broccoli, beans and carrots. I usually have the veggies twice a day with tuna (two cans of 95g tuna). I eat four cans of tuna a day too. 

 

I'd be concerned about the mercury content in that much tuna if that's what you eat most days... I mean, there's not often a limit discussed for men, but they're also not figuring that many people are eating 4 cans per day. One can per day is probably a reasonable amount for a man.

You might be interested in looking up how selenium might cancel out the mercury in fish, there is still some studying that needs to be done though... http://www.foodtrients.com/news-page/health/toxic-tuna-does-selenium-cancel-out-methyl-mercury/

#1 is fasting, #2 is high quality whole milk. Everything the body needs IMO.

I can't believe I forgot to mention Avocado!  I swear after eating one I can hear my beard becoming more full and vibrant. 

[Mordechaj]

meat and hot peppers (habanero and up) for power, but for health mostly raw vegetables, grapefruit, kiwi, ginger, and my home brewed milk kefir, water kefirs and kombucha.

An entire Chinese eggplant sliced and baked with a little olive oil and sea salt.  Delicious, filling, and not full of crap.  Every time I eat one, I feel great!

I absolutely love sushi. I like tuna and salmon sashimi as well. I make my own sushi rolls sometimes with crab, avocado, cream cheese, and jalapeno inside nd smoked salmon with dynamite sauce and eel sauce on top. Also good with a little bacon inside and tuna.

I really like very lightly seared tuna with lemon juice, fresh pressed ginger, and soy sauce.

 

Sashimi is really nice too

 

That's good you make your own sushi, I'm lazy to do it

Okay, that's absolutely a no no for me. I'm trying to avoid coke.

Homemade lemon tuna cakes, for sure...

 

 

 

With a good smattering of guacamole! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Looks tasty!

Sadly I don'thave an oven right now

Avocado, raw spinach, grilled chicken, mushrooms, peppers (usually habaneros) and onions is my feel amazing go to salad. 

 

Almond milk with peanut butter granola and strawberries is my feel awesome breakfast, I'm not sure what I'll do once strawberries go out of season again  

 

Sushi is also something I'm a huge fan of, esp. the new veggie garden rolls I've discovered at Wegmans

I just started doing kombucha, would be very interested for you to post your own protocol. I'm still hammering the kinks out of mine. 

 

Kombucha is excellent.

 

Oh and just to chime in again, the food that makes me feel healthiest is definitely fasting. No comparison.

Not needed! You can do them in the pan. Google tuna cakes.

I heat the water to boiling temp and lower the flames, toss in the tea leaves (50/50 green tea and oolong tea, because different teas have different nutrients), and boil them on low flames for 5 minutes to release the max of nitrogen, and leave covered for at least 20 minutes. It hurts the antioxidants, but I drink normal green tea also, so that's not an issue.

After straining the tea leaves I add sugar into tea until it's at 10% (100g for 1l of liquid), and a pinch of salt (NaCl or MgCl). I cool the tea by leaving the pot in the sink full of cold water, and then when it's the same temperature as the already brewed kombucha I bottle the brewed kombucha, fish out scoby on a plate, wash and rinse the jars, add back 2-3 fingers of old brew, add the new tea and try to keep the scoby from sinking. I rinse the scoby also, to remove the decaying layer, and since scoby grows only in contact with air I try to keep it from sinking in the new mix. If it sinks new scoby will form an it's not a problem, just slows the process down a bit.

Now that you have bottled the kombucha you can play aroung adding different things to the secondary fermentation stage.

Citrus and ginger work great, I'll try some dried fruits also.

Salads! More, the salads I make myself; restaurant salads make me go :| My favorite is spinach with strawberries and sliced almonds, but I also love eating my current salad of choice, which is mixed greens with cherub tomatoes, feta, and walnuts.
