Broccoli smoothie

@surftohealth88 I have experimented with adding leftover steamed broccoli to our green smoothies with fruit and they are just as tasty with broccoli. I also use frozen fruits of all kinds, lots of greens, and a non-dairy “milk” or coconut water. And I have been able to lose weight by having the smoothies instead of meals.

That is such a brilliant idea ! < 3

I always feel so bad throwing those stems out : ((( It will actually give even smoother texture to a drink - super !!!!

Thanks !

Some evenings in Germany, after working a long day, we would go to the pub and have a draft Pilsner with a thick layer of schmaltz (Griebenschmalz)...essentially congealed bacon grease with spices....spread over a piece of deliciously dense German bread...the taste was absolutely amazingly delicious...so what's your point about something tasting good????

BTW, there's no "ground up cruciferous vegetables" in my chili recipe!

In any case, as I've always said (and seen in my own case) the science behind running is more solid than relying on any particular diet, if slowing progression is of any concern and a goal for someone diagnosed with PCa.

In my book, the most important thing about diet is that it needs to consist of foods that sustainably allow a man to maintain his BMI between 22-23 AND which he enjoys to eat. If a man is heavier than that....the most important thing, regarding his diet, is to lose all that extra weight....assuming he cares.

If there's indirect "in vitro" evidence that certain vegetables have a beneficial impact on the slowing of PCa (which I have shown); then the next step would to implement the tastiest recipes, that include those items, even it only moves the needle marginally.

If a man decides he'd rather have bacon and eggs for breakfast, hot dogs covered with mayo and sweet relish for lunch, a McDonald's triple quarter pounder with supersized fries for dinner and then ice-cream washed down with a 6 pack before bedtime....more power to ya!

Just don't complain when the doc comes around with the recommendation to slash, burn and chemically castrate, when its time to pay the PCa piper. 🙂

@handera I’m so sorry my comments was not intended for you but for meat eating Phil 🙂

@handera See Alan, this is why discussing diet and food has become akin to religion and politics…you really CAN’T talk about it in a balanced fashion.
The notion that anyone can eat the foods you mention on a daily basis - or even a bit less frequently - and not succumb to an array of life threatening illnesses is madness. NO ONE has ever said that on this forum to my knowledge.
All I am saying is that a balanced diet, complete with meats, poultry, dairy, eggs, fruits and vegetables - and the occasional low sugar dessert is NOT going to be the cause of your death…
Plenty of men on this forum were triathletes, competitive cyclists and marathoners and they did eat nutritious foods - not the crap you mention; and I would guess they had even better BMI’s and VOmax’s than you currently do (congrats on that, nonetheless).
And STILL they’ve been confronted with “slash, burn and chemically castrate” knocked for a loop, completely out of the blue…
Life can be funny that way

@zzotte Jeez, you guys make me sound like some sort of voracious carnivore or something! 🦁
