fruit veggies and lean red meat
A combination of:
– Fresh fruits (apples and berries are best)
– Vegetables (green veggies and carrots top the list)
– Beans/Legumes
– Whole grain breads/cereals/pasta
– Lowfat dairy products
– Eggs
– Nuts, any kind (almonds are best)
– Fish and poultry
– Lean cuts of beef and pork
i have to say vegetables and fruits also seaweeds and fish also eggs…
When I am trying to eat at my healthiest, which is always, this is what I eat:
bell peppers ( the various colors BUT the red bell peppers are highest in vitamin C. They all are higher in C than oranges ). Avocadoes, a fruit, is natures multi vitamin. A also eat lots of greens, I prefer mine to be Southern cooked> these greens are collard,mustard, turnip, kale, chard. Strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries,cantalope. These are my favorite fruits and vegetables but I also include broccoli, spinach,cauliflower,cabbage. I also use V8 juice.
I also eat meat, poultry, seafood,pork etc. I feel that protein is the mortor that is needed to bind everything together and it is very important to include in a well rounded healthy diet. All of these foods are part of a healthy low carb lifestyle. People wiill tell you that people on Atkins or other low carb diets don’t eat vegetables. Hey, 95% of the worlds veggies are low carb. I increased my vegetable intake when I became a low carber.
Cheers to yah,
