I eat boneless skinless chicken breasts and sweet potatoes 4 times a day. Big premise of this diet is that our digestive systems haven't evolved enough to properly digest and absorb nutrients from foods such as rice, grains, legumes(I think), etc.
I have so much more energy from eating simply chicken and sweet potatoes and actually feel quite ill if I eat other foods like fast food, beef, processed meats, etc.
I found a life altering quote and ideology while reading about buddhism that society today, has turned eating into an event full of enjoyment rather than what it is. Once you get to the realization that food was never meant to be enjoyed and simply for survival, it's much easier to eat the same thing every day. Of course, I still eat other foods every now and then but it has to be whole foods with very little processed ingredients
