Natural Viking Diet

First of all understand that this diet will not be optimal for everyone who reads this, but I hate it when people post their diet guidelines but not the  actual diet they are using to reach their goals.

For this diet I am trying to cut fat slowly, eat only whole natural foods that adhere to the paleo diet, and eat every 2 – 3 hours depending on hunger.  I will not restrict myself to calories however this is what a typical day will look like:

Viking Diet 1:

• Breakfast:
  • 2 Egg whites, 1 whole egg (scrambled)
  • 2 tbsp Salsa (Green Chili is excellent here too)
  • 2 slices of Turkey bacon
  • 1 – 2 pieces of fruit (usually a banana or apple)
  • Large glass of water (very important)
• Snack:
  • 1 large handful of almonds
  • 1 piece of fruit
• Lunch:
  • Chicken Breast or 1 Can of tuna
  • Large Vegetable salad (add carrots, spinach, cucumbers, etc.)
  • 2 tbsp Stone ground mustard (trust me here!) 
• Snack (pre-workout):
  • 2 pieces of fruit
  • 1 handful of almonds
  • (whey shake, if needed)
• Dinner:
  • 1 Chicken breast (marinate  in Balsamic Vinegar for 30 min)
  • 1 handful carrots (I like baby carrots, no mess)
  • 1 handful of grapes
  • Small salad (add any veggies you want, dash some balsamic on top)

That’s a typical day for me, I’m never hungry and I have a lot of energy throughout.  Find what works for you, the idea is to get back to letting your body let you know when it’s time to eat.  When you do eat keep portions in mind, the typical portion sizes these days are way too big, eat what you need (think primal, just enough to sustain!).   Once you start eating cleaner, it will be easy to stick to it.  Eating every few hours will keep your metabolism burning all throughout the day.

Eat up!
