Topic: Some of my eating habits

Since you guys have this forum here are a couple of things I do.
My biggest asset is a good grill. I would recommend that to anybody that trains and like to eat well.
There is minimal clean up and the food tastes great.
Most of the time, I will fire up the grill when I come back from training, go take a shower and by the time I am out the grill is up to temperature. Grill chicken or steaks and have a great meal.

The other thing that I got into, and I know some of you will give me shit for it, is some of the Gracie diet.

I got a Champion juicer off Craigslist and have been doing the smoothies mostly. Half a Honeydew melon juiced, and 3 bananas in a blender work great as a pre workout/ breakfast meal. I usually drink it 1 hour before training and am good for about 4-5 hours. I don't even drink any water during training, because this stuff keeps me hydrated.
I am not following the diet too much, but just take some of the meals and try them out, because I get bored with my regular food rotation.

I don't Juice like a champion... But I do make smoothies. I buy Acai Puree' and frozen strawberries  and blue berries. I pour them in a blender...mix with some milk, a little bit of sugar and some vanilla extract.  MAN...it is the shiiizniiit.  Taste incredible, keeps you full and gives me energy. Its great for Breakfast or a snack.

Mike, check craigslist for champion juicers in your area.
I found mine for $80. It was old, but it works great.
I ve seen some go for as low as $35.

Colby, where do you get yoru Acai puree from? I ve been looking for Acai, but haven't found any. Costco used to carry Sambazon Acai juice, which was great, but they stopped carrying it.
