Good Foods to Eat
Meats:
Beef, Pork, Lamb, Veal, Rabbit, Goat, Sheep, Bison, Deer
Etc….Basically if it is grass or vegetarian fed, you can eat it!
Poultry
Chicken, Turkey, Duck, Quail, Goose
Etc…Again if its cage free and grass fed, you can eat it!
Shellfish
Shrimp, Scallops, Clams, Oysters, Mussels, Lobster, Crab
Fish
Salmon, Trout, Tuna, Bass, Halibut, Sole, Haddock, Tilapia
Etc…Any wild caught fish is fair game!
Fats
Coconut oil, Avocado oil, Meat fats, Olive oil, Nut butters, Nut oils, Fruit oils, Flower oils (though keep the safflower and sunflower to a minimum)
Eggs
We get the omega 3 cage free, free range, but that’s just our thing. I’d at least go free range…
Vegetables
Tomatoes, Peppers, Onions, Asparagus, Cucumber, Avocados, Cabbage, Broccoli, Squash, Mushrooms, Anything green or colorful
Etc….Anything but starches…so no potatoes, no corn!
Leafy Greens
Lettuce, Spinach, Chard, Watercress, Endive, Arugula
Etc…You can eat as much leafy greens as you want! No matter what kind!
Root Vegetables
Carrots, Beets, Radish, Yams, Parsnips, Sweet Potatoes, Yucca, Taro
Etc…We eat root vegetables under the theory that you can eat them raw (which is our general rule…if you can eat it raw, its pretty much ok)
Nuts and Seeds
Almonds, Hazelnuts, Pecans, Walnuts, Brazil nuts, Pistachios
Etc…Many people don’t eat cashews, as you cannot eat them raw, but that is a personal choice. We have some recipes with them, and a lot without.
Fruits
Berries, Melons, Grapes, Plums, Peaches, Apples, Bananas (tho keep high glycemic index fruits to a minimum)
Etc…All fruits are ok (in moderation or not at all if you are trying to lose a lot of weight)
Herbs & Spices
Ginger, Garlic, Parsley, Sage, Chilies, Vanilla, Mint, Basil
Etc…Learning how to use spices properly will really help you love your foods even more!
