As you would have noticed in your chronotypes specific 3-day diet, I recommend different food at different times for each of us -
whether you are a Lion, Wolf or Bear.
To make it easy for you to eat accordingly, here is a shopping list for you to use - only buy what you need for your specific chronotypes meal plan,
as to minimise food waste and optimise nutrient integrity.
In addition, by clearing out sleep sabotaging food, you more easily stay on your diet - out of sight, out of mind!
To clear out:
white sugar
refined sugary treats you usually have for snack time (chocolate/cakes/cookies, I’m looking at you!)
coffee (or hide it very well)
pre-workout supplements
weight loss supplements (typically contain caffeine)
fatty cuts of meat such as bacon and sausage
full fat dairy
To buy:
nuts - especially walnuts, almonds, Brazils and cashews
nut butter
seeds – flax, chia, hemp
soy products – milk, tofu, tempeh, miso
beans – black, white, red, butter, navy
pulses – lentils, chickpeas
whole grains – quinoa, brown rice, oats
tea – chamomile, passionflower, green (regular and
decaf), peppermint
stevia (as an alternative to sugar)
fruits – bananas, kiwifruits, avocados, tomatoes,
strawberries, raspberries, blueberries
vegetables – broccoli, zucchini, asparagus, peas,
green beans, spinach, kale, sweet potato, mushrooms
fish – salmon, tuna
poultry – chicken, turkey
low-fat dairy – milk, Greek yoghurt, ricotta cheese,
cottage cheese
eggs
plant-based protein powder
