I've read a rather interesting book recently, Eat To Live by Dr. Joel Fuhrman. I recommend it to anyone interested in what and how he eats.
Fuhrman describes a simple diet, which goes more or less like this:
I am simplifying somewhat, but that's the general idea. It is similar to how I am eating, though I am still counting calories, and Fuhrman specifically proposes not to.
I think I am going to try his diet sometime (probably when I stabilize my weight, or just get tired of counting). It seems very reasonable, judging frpm my own experience and from what I've read so far.
Fuhrman describes a simple diet, which goes more or less like this:
- Vegetables: unlimited (aim for 1 lb raw and 1 lb cooked vegetables daily)
- Fruits: unlimited (at least 4 fruits daily)
- Legumes: unlimited (aim for a cup daily)
- Nuts/seeds: in moderation (one handful daily)
- Avoid everything else (especially meat and dairy).
