This is the diet I think is wise and sensible:
- Eliminate refined, processed, and manufactured foods, including fast foods.
- Eat mostly vegetables and fruits.
- Use olive oil, herbs and spices, cooked Asian mushrooms (like shiitake, enoki, and maitake), as well as dark chocolate as a sweet treat.
- Eat 3-5 half-cup servings of whole and cracked grains, such as rice, quinoa, and steel-cut oats.
- Eat 1-2 half-cup servings of beans and legumes including lentils, black-eyed peas, and chickpeas.
- Eat 5-7 servings of healthy fats, mainly extra-virgin olive oil. (One serving is equal to one teaspoon of oil, two walnuts, one tablespoon of freshly ground flaxseed, or one ounce of avocado.)
- Eat proteins… plus omega-3 fatty acids from two to six 4-ounce servings of wild Alaskan salmon, herring, sardines, and Alaskan black cod (sablefish).
- Also eat 1-2 omega-3 enriched eggs per week, high-quality cheese (one ounce equals one serving), yogurt, and occasional lean meat.
- For beverages, have 2-4 cups of white, green, or oolong tea daily.
