General Rules For Eating Healthy
By Dr. David Jowdy of Hansa Center For Optimum Health
Every day, you should be eating 3 Well Balanced Meals and have at least 2 Well Balanced Snacks (one between Breakfast and Lunch and another between Lunch and Dinner). Well Balanced means, the meal/snack should include nutritious food from each of the following four categories: Protein
Fats
Non-Starchy Vegetables
Carbohydrates Good Proteins include:
• Eggs
• Meat and Poultry
• Additive-Free and Nitrate-Free Sausages
• Cheese
• Fish and Shellfish
• Nuts and Seeds and Nut Butters Good Fats Include: • Saturated Fats (good for cooking at low heat) o REAL Butter
o Cheese
o Chicken Fat
o Coconut Oils
o Cream, dairy only
o Eggs
o Sour Cream
o Turkey Fat
• Monounsaturated Fats (good for cooking at low heat)
o Almond oil
o Avocado oil
o Canola oil
o Olive oil
o Peanut oil
o Rice oil • Polyunsaturated Fats (do not use for cooking)
o Corn oil
o Essential fatty acids
o Salmon oil
o Sardine oil
o Sesame seed oil
o Wheat germ oil
Non-Starchy Vegetables • These vegetables provide vitamins, minerals and fiber. They also help to lower the glycemic index of your ENTIRE MEAL. It is extremely important to include these vegetables at EVERY meal you eat. See the following list under Carbohydrates to see which vegetables contain starch and are considered to be carbohydrates. These veggies are good for you, but should not be classified under this category. If you eat them at a meal, you still need to include other non-starchy vegetables. Carbohydrates • Never eat carbohydrates alone, they must always be in combination with Proteins, Fats and Non-Starchy Vegetables • Carbohydrates are used for energy, so if you need a lot of energy, you can eat more. If you are not very active, you need to eat less. Excess carbohydrate intake leads to storage of sugars in your fat cells, which will cause you to gain weight.
• Your body needs between 15-75 grams of carbohydrates per meal. If you are very active you need 75. If you are sedentary and not very active, you only need 15. If you are in the middle, try about 30-45 grams per meal.
• If you feel depressed and are getting more depressed, increase your carbohydrate intake by 7-10 grams per meal. Carbohydrates are “brain fuel” and depression can be a symptom of your brain running low on fuel.
• If you are losing weight too quickly, feel sluggish or suffer from insomnia, increase your carbohydrate consumption.
• Eat whole grains, legumes, starchy vegetables and fruits. Avoid man-made carbohydrates.
The following list of vegetables contains starch and should be classified as carbohydrates:
o Squash
o Carrots
o Corn
o Green Peas
o Artichokes
o Lima beans
o Lotus root
o Okra
o Parsnip
o Potato
o Pumpkin
o Sweet Potato
o Turnip
o Yam
