Nutrition Resources That Will Knock Your Stalks Off
Finding trustworthy nutrition education and resources can be difficult. That's why we've spent years reading, researching and vetting sources. Here is a sampling of what we have learned about how to use nutrition to improve your health.
5 Simple Rules
- Avoid Red Meat
Hamburgers, meatloaf, ground beef, steak - Avoid Pig
Pork, bacon, sausage, ham - Avoid Processed Meats
Lunchmeat, sausage, ham, salami, bologna, brats, polish, hot dogs - Decrease Starch Intake
Potatoes, pasta, noodles, rice, bread, pretzels, chips, crackers, cookies, muffins, etc.
(And when you eat them, aim for whole grain versions: brown/wild rice, whole wheat bread, sweet potatoes) - Avoid Restaurant Food
Not just fast food
Food to Focus On
- Chicken, Fish or Turkey
If you are going to have “meat”, focus on these lean versions - Vegetables
Eat a rainbow of colors - Fruits
Focus on fruits with “Crunch”: apples, pears, oranges, avoid melon, bananas - Legumes
Beans, lentils, chickpeas, soybeans - Nuts
Unsalted and raw are best
