Drop Dead Healthy

The Stomach, Revisited

The Continued Quest for the Perfect Diet

I’M EATING A LOT OF the same foods every day, which I’m not sure is such a good idea. Here’s my daily menu for the last month or so:

Breakfast: two scrambled egg whites in canola oil, a handful of walnuts, a bowl of steel-cut oatmeal topped with organic blueberries, strawberries, and flaxseed oil.

Lunch: chopped salad of spinach, broccoli, red cabbage, mixed peppers, peas, tomatoes, avocado, artichoke hearts, beets, and (sometimes) sunflower seeds. No dressing.

Afternoon snack: fat-free Greek yogurt with cantaloupe and grapes. Three spoonfuls of hummus.

Dinner: quinoa, steamed asparagus, Dr. Praeger’s spinach pancake. And three times a week, grilled wild salmon with lemon juice (sorry, Marti). Glass of red wine. Maybe two.
