  10. Diet Principle #2 The Right Fats

  11. Choose the Right Fats • Why Fats at all? • Calorie-dense fats help lose weight or manage it more effectively • Add one healthy oil to every meal • Include fish at least once per week. • Supplement omega-3 fatty acids

  12. Fats to Avoid/Limit • Avoid hydrogenated oils all together. • Permit no more than 20 grams of saturated fats per day. • Limit Dairy • 1-2 servings per day of milk, cottage cheese, yogurt, etc. • preferably1-2% milk fat • 1-2 oz cheese per day

  13. Diet Principle #3 Fruits and Vegetables

  14. Vegetables • Unlimited: • Green vegetables • Peppers, cucumbers, lettuces cabbage, spinach, zucchini, etc. • Alliums • Onions, garlic, scallions • Sprouts • Roots • Radishes, carrots • Mushrooms • Herbs • Limited: • Starchy vegetables • Yams, sweet potatoes, wild rice • Minimize white and brown rice • Minimize white and red potatoes

  15. Fruits • Fruits are richer in sugar, SO limit fruit to no more than two servings per day. • Favor berries of all variety • Blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, cranberries, blackberries. • Citrus • Melons • Apples • Peaches • Pears • Kiwis

  16. Because of the high sugar load (>20 grams per 4 oz. serving), we should minimize: • Bananas • Grapes • Mango • Any dried fruit (raisins, dried apricots, figs)

  19. Benefits of Nuts • Number two in the hierarchy of healthy foods, after vegetables • Rich in vitamins and minerals • Fibers • Healthy oils (monounsaturates) • Reduces LDL

  20. Diet Principle #5 Healthy Oils

  21. Unlimited Healthy Oils • Four healthy oils • Flaxseed • Olive • Rich in monounsaturates and polyphenols • Canola • High-oleic Safflower • High in monounsaturates • Consider adding a small quantity to every meal

  22. Benefits of Healthy Oils • Induces satiety (fullness) • Reduces insulin and sugar fluctuations • Leads to better weight control and weight loss • Oils should never be super-heated (i.e. frying). • Triggers formation of unhealthy oxidative by-products

  23. Diet Principle #6 Unprocessed Foods

  24. Food should be Unprocessed • Unprocessed foods are whole foods • Not dried (instant oatmeal or instant mashed potatoes). • Not powdered (instant soups and sauces). • Not a “mix” (pancake and cake mixes, macaroni and cheese). • Do not require adding water and heating, or some similar process. • When food is left whole, it retains more of its original naturally-occurring nutrients and digests more slowly (causing natural elevation in blood sugar or none at all).

  25. What Did we Miss?

  26. Meats • Fish and shellfish • Lean Meats • Lean red meats • Chicken • Turkey • Preferably grass fed, organic, or wild game • Avoid Cured Meats • Bacon • Sausage • Hot dogs

  27. Tips for the Diet • Choose 10-20 basic dishes you enjoy as your foundation. • Mix it up by using unique toppings (i.e. mustards, horseradish, salsa, pico de gallo, pestos, wasabi) • Spend the majority of your grocery time in the “outer isles”
