During the weekend, I eat a very wide variety of plants, but during the week, I mostly just saute a few handfuls of greens in the pan I just cooked my meat in for lunch/dinner. Is this unhealthy? I eat kale, spinach, swiss chard, mustard greens, collard greens, cabbage, various lettuces and microgreens. It's simple and I feel great, but am I missing something? Do I really need to "eat the colors of the rainbow" every day? For the record, I do eat beef liver once or twice a week, and I do eat fruit and other colorful vegetables on weekends.

Short answer: no. Liver is nature's multivitamin! I would be more worried about making sure you get adequate soluble fiber to support gut flora health than anything, but it sounds like you're doing that. I think if you look at online nutrition profiles you'll be surprised to find that plants really don't have that much vitamin or nutrient content. |

it just sounds like you need to relax a bit. you said you feel great so feel great and don't stress yourself out. take a step back and realize how far ahead of the curve you are just by simply eating a paleo diet. |

What you're doing sounds good. Just don't actually "taste the rainbow," a la Skittles. |
