If I am going to be out and about for a good chunk of the day, I make sure I have a snack plan cooked up before I head out the door. A great place to eat crappy snacks is a golf course. Before I put my sticks in the... Continue reading

I received some questions about my travel post regarding what I ate when I was on my 9-day business trip. OK, here was generally what I had: BREAKFAST: I had them make me a veggie omelet, with no cheese… no toast… no potatoes… and two slices of bacon. Three things... Continue reading

Every once in a while, I tend to lose a bit of interest and a bit of focus on my food plan. Lots of times it is around a family vacation or a bunch of business travel where I just kinda fall off the Simple Guy wagon. In many ways... Continue reading

I really know very little about nutrition. Although a friend of mine who saw what I was eating suggested I amp up my protein. Since I really did not care, I did not ask him why… but he thought it would do me a world of good. I figured, “what... Continue reading

Although it has been years since I wrote the Simple Guy Diet, one thing certainly has not changed… my LOVE for doughnuts!! I probably get a doughnut only about four times a year, and every time I have one, I am smiling from ear to ear. I hope whoever invented... Continue reading

So many of the bad things I ate at home were because I had my kids in the house… and clearly a lack of personal will-power by me! I love my kids, but I can tell you, that once my wife and I became “empty-nesters” our food world changed. The... Continue reading

Not too long ago I found one of those Magic Bullet mixers in our kitchen cabinet. I thought that it might be good to see what it would be like to start my day with a small home-made shake. I start with about 4 ounces of water, three ice cubes,... Continue reading

As I was going through TSA, my weight is still lower that what is on my driver’s license… I love that! Especially knowing that I lied about my weight by nearly 10 pounds, which makes the delta even bigger. It is the little moments like this that give me great... Continue reading

OK…here is some crazy thinking… On my last long business trip (a week long), I decided at the beginning of the trip that I was going to only "Simple Guy it" for the week. Usually when I go on trips, things get out of control… food wise. There are dinners,... Continue reading

Man, whoever invented arugula lettuce was one smart dude! If you are not a user of arugula, you need to get a packet of it at your local grocery store. For EVER I ate the same crappy iceberg lettuce and thought that was what salad was all about. Now with... Continue reading

Now that I am using my salad plate as a clever portion control device, it is worth a moment or two to chat about what to put on that salad plate. If the food is being served family style (everything is out and available) leaving it up to us to... Continue reading

Well, it has been well over a year since I converted to eating off of smaller plates for my at-home portions. Of all the things that I have adopted, this one has really stuck!! When I get served on a regular dinner plate, it looks like a garbage can lid... Continue reading

Things seems to be always evolving for me and my salad for dinner strategy (which I still LOVE!). The newest spin for me is that I have abandoned my need for ranch dressing and have now (happily) replaced it with basalmic and olive oil. For some reason, I had convinced... Continue reading

We have lost control in our house…at least with the notion of a single menu for dinner. At first, it was a bit weird for my wife, my son and I to all be eating different items. For the past year, we have each gone a bit solo for our... Continue reading

I am still "crazy in love" with making a salad for dinner every night. There are so many good things about it….1) creating it myself, just the way I like it, 2) easy to do…as it just takes less than 5 minutes to pull together, and 3) there is no... Continue reading

Recently, I have really noticed that my consumption of processed foods is at an all time low. It is important to know that I am NOT doing this with intent, but rather, more fresh veggies (both hot and cold) seem to be very satisfying for my evening meals. I must... Continue reading

Lately, in addition to my magic salad creation for dinner, I have, at times, added a super small side of hot veggies the I grill up in a pan on my stove. The quantity is about equal to a scoop or two of ice cream. Perhaps it is that the... Continue reading

If you find you are pounding a few too many coffee beverages, try this. Once I have my tall americano from Starbucks, I tend to sip through about 3/4s of it before it is room temp. Rather than tossing it out, or buying a new one, I simply fill the... Continue reading

WATER TO WIN!! Drinking water is ruling my world! I seem to have transitioned off adding in a pinch of Crystal Light for flavor and am now appreciating water in a variety of temperatures...cold, room temp, warm and hot. What once seemed "so nothing", seems really good...drink up!! Continue reading
