- Eat protein with every meal, including breakfast.
- Eliminate wheat and flour products for now. Yes, it definitely includes bread and pasta.
- Eat unprocessed foods. Ninety percent of your meals (by this value) should be a mix of raw vegetables, steamed vegetables, whole grains, lean protein and, if necessary, fruit.
- Limit starches to one serving per day and do not eat this serving with dinner. Beans, sweet potatoes and oats are great choices.
- Don’t overeat fruit: one a day at most, and only the low-sugar, high-fiber variety. Apples, pears, plums and plums are good choices. For now, fruit should be eaten by itself or with something light, such as low-fat nuts. The fruit completely loses its juice.
- Reduce or eliminate dairy products, especially cow’s milk, for now. Except: A reasonable amount of low-fat, low-sugar yogurt.
- Lose your glass. Despite what the “studies” say, you don’t lose the health benefits of giving up alcohol (including wine). There’s nothing essential in alcohol that you can’t get from fruits and vegetables without side effects.
- Stop using vegetable oils like sunflower, safflower and corn. The supermarket variety is much better and oxidizes easily when heated, which contributes to the formation of arterial plaque. Use olive oil instead and heat it after cooking if possible.
- Watch the type of fat you eat. Perhaps the amount of fat you eat is less important than the type of fat you eat. Fried foods, margarine, and foods containing hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oils are the worst. The best is omega-3, found in fish oil and flaxseed.
- Drink water quietly: At least 8 ounces for every 20 pounds you carry, every day. that daily. There is no excuse.
