Vegetable, remember the Rule of Greens: Dark is Beautiful!

Pause and Think

The vegetable and food list that follows is not exhaustive however it is comprehensive. We have listed healty, tasty foods, as well as tips for eating and dieting, since they are all inter-related. Large formal meals on a daily basis are counter-productive. Our diet is best and easiest achieved by grazing 4+ times a day and using supplements judiciously. However you should include raw food (veggies, fruit and juice) in your grazing pattern as well as protein and grain foods while foregoing coffee and donuts as a staple.

The List:

Bell peppers, broccoli, chard, beet greens, spinach, tomato, raddicchio, lettuce, cucumber, zhuccini

Potato- brush with olive oil and oven bake.

Milk-- low fat for adults, whole milk for babies, (1st X 2 years ) they need the fat for growth.

Water content food has fewer calories.

Whole wheat breads in moderation.

Oat grain cereals- hot and cold.

Develop portion size discipline.

Eat reduced sodium and low-fat soups.

Store food out of sight - out of mind.

Blackberries, raspberries, apples, oranges, nectarines, grapes, cherries, pears, peaches, strawberries- buy seasonal and local, as they are picked at peak ripeness. They are therefore more nutrient laden than unripened produce that has to withstand a transportation delay getting to market.

Eat 4oz servings of fish, beef,poultry, etc - remove the skin of fish and poultry, after cooking, in order to preserve moistness.

Don't use diet drugs- they only suppress and stress

Find the right daily exercise for you- walk, bicycle, weights, etc..

And remember "food is only fuel".And have a vegetable!
