What are the healthiest foods you must include in your diet?
Think of eating foods of all the colors of the rainbow...





Red:


Tomatoes, peppers, cranberries, raspberries, apples, beans, strawberries





Orange:


Carrots, pumpkins, oranges, sweet potatoes, cantaloupe, peaches, apricots, mango





Yellow:


Squash, corn, legumes, lemons, banana, eggs, grapefruit, mushrooms, pineapple, sesame seeds, macadamia nuts, cashews, peanuts, quinoa, chickpeas, almonds, pecans, walnuts, brown rice, ginger, beans





Green:


Peppers, cabbage, beans, limes, spinach, kale, honeydew melon, avocado, pears, pesto, celery, zucchini





Purple:


Blueberries, blackberries, currants, beets, red cabbage, eggplant





White:


Potatoes, tofu, onions, garlic, whole oats, cauliflower





Here is another one of those lists:


1) Almonds and Other Nuts


2) Beans and Other Legumes


3) Spinach and Other Green Vegetables


4) Dairy Products


5) Instant Oatmeal


6) Eggs


7) Turkey and Other Lean Meats


8) Peanut Butter


9) Olive Oil


10) Whole-Grain Breads and Cereals


11) Extra-Protein (Whey) Powder


12) Raspberries and Other Berries





Mind you, as a trainer I don't wholly agree with the list.





Many "diets" have their superfood list.





My recommendation is simple





With every meal try to get:


A lean protein plus


A starchy carb plus


A fibrous carb





and


Avoid simple sugars


Minimize saturated fats


Elimininate hydrogenated fats


Minimize processed foods





Try to get a small meal every 3-4 hours. Eat until you are not hungry, and do it again in 3-4 hours.

Reply:Eat a Sausage every day. And be sure to vary the types for example, Italian one day, Polish the next, and don't forget to try your neighbors.


And don't forget to eat Nuts with that.

Reply:Is there a food you HAVE to have to be heatlhy....no.


Should you eat a variety.. yes


"Superfoods are great" however eating healthy is more that sticking to a set of do's and dont's,


After all would you stick to the same hairdo all your life?


No, just try to focus on eating a variety of fruits vegetables and whole grain breads and pastas, and eat enough lean proteins


Enjoy your life, and be healthy,


God Bless.

It's not just the food, it's what you do with it.





If you could learn about good health from TV then the western world woud be healthy. The opposite is true and the evidence is all around you.








After trying for 10 years. I finally lost 150+ lbs (12 stone) and kept it off for over 4 years now. I am now in amazing health, all around, not just thinner.





I did it without medicine, workouts, religion, going hungry or hating my food and without an operation or secret formula. I had tried counting: calories; carbs; fat; etc. I had tried jogging, swimming, weights, aerobics, crazy medicines and starving! But nothing ever worked well or lasted very long.





I also had Hypertension, High Blood Pressure, Chronic Asthma, vision and hearing loss. constant colds and ills, annual flu or pneumonia and more. I was approved for bypass surgery and taking usually between 16 and 20 pills a day.





take a look at my before and after pictures...
