For ideal health you should eat lots of lean meat,
seafood, fish, and fresh fruits and vegetables with every
meal along with moderate amounts of nuts, avocados,
seeds, and healthful oils (olive, flaxseed, walnut, and
avocado). Dried fruit should be consumed in small
quantities because it causes rapid increases in blood
glucose and insulin levels. When you’re hungry or in doubt,
start with a high-protein, low-fat food. Remember, lean
protein is the most effective nutrient to reduce your appetite
and boost your metabolism to help you burn stored fat and
lose weight.
