In his book Own the Day, Own Your Life, Aubrey Marcus posits that to have true life change you must master a single individual unit of your life: one day. Marcus recommends optimizing practices for waking, working, learning, eating, training, playing, sleeping and sex.
One of those practices is to eat a weird lunch. Marcus maintains that lunch is an opportunity to reframe and restart your day. Lunch also serves as an opportunity to get your body the micronutrients it needs to keep you feeling great throughout the rest of your day. That way to keep you feeling great is by experimenting, exploring and keeping it weird. Below is a lunch recipe by Marcus.
