What Do I Eat For Breakfast?

I know that each of you is waiting impatiently for me to reveal what I actually eat that made me lose 50 lbs. 

Well here is one thing I eat most mornings.

Yes, really. Natto tastes fine, like what I remember pork 'n beans used to taste like when I ate that. But the slimy look leaves something to be desired. 

One reason I eat it is that it has more vitamin K-2 than any other food in the world. There are a few vitamins that are in short supply in our diet. K-2 is one of them. For a more in depth discussion of this click here. 

If you eat fermented cheese like blue cheese, liver, pasture fed butter and milk, or have good gut bacteria that live on soluble fiber, you might be ok—might. But if you don't, you should supplement. This is not the K-2 you are looking for, move on. (Remember that K-1 is not the same vitamin!) 

K-2 is crucial in calcium allocation. Even if you have enough calcium, without this vitamin, along with vitamin D, the calcium is not laid down in the bones as well. Even worse, the calcium might be put in places you do not want it, like your heart. 

So either crack open the styrofoam Natto container, eat a lot of blue cheese, or get some supplementation.

Love how the video finishes in historical Japanese Movie fashion, with the lips and sound out of sync. ;) Clever touch there.

There are a great many things that I will try, in terms of food, but this video was making my stomach do a few flips. Which means ... more for you, Dennis. Plus I can't eat soy anymore.

On the upside, I do not fear bleu cheese, liver, or pastured butter and will enjoy them with some frequency. And I can handle white rice, of all things.

One thought - if I could only eat foods I found distateful... I think that would be an effective weight loss strategy. I don't mind bland. I don't mind flavorful. But there are a few things that I can't get down. Chives. Which is now being rivaled by Natto. Interesting food lesson, friend.
