Tips on foods to eat and foods to avoid:

Avoid:

If you are serious about losing weight, avoid all sugar sweetened foods. As much as possible, avoid foods that contain all or mostly starch, such as potatoes, white bread, and pasta. Processed foods should also be avoided as they often contain unhealthy fats and chemicals that will make your system less healthy and efficient.

Eat:

All vegetables, especially green vegetables, raw vegetables and salads.

Meat, eggs, nuts, fish, tofu and beans.

Whole grain cereals, pasta and breads. Ensure any carbohydrates you eat come from whole foods in their natural state

Fresh fruit with the skins - the extra fiber will help with carbohydrate digestion.

Eating whole foods in their natural state is always best. Now we can understand why our grandparents could eat bacon and eggs for breakfast and still be in great health. By eating certain foods at certain times and with moderation, we can eat well, feel great, and improve our overall physical and emotional health.
