Green Concepts

Welcome.

On this page is a list of foods you should all be eating daily. Make sure that your daily consumption of food is at least 75 percent of the foods listed here with no more than 25 percent for other foods.

Yes, marijuana is on this list. Find it yourself.

These foods are designed to help build, maintain, and repair your body on a regular basis, as well as to provide your body with the energy you need to take on the day.

By reducing the amount of saturated fats and eliminating all trans fats from your diet, you'll be cutting your risk of stroke or heart attack by an untold percent of its risk factor. Please note that sources of saturated fats include the popular red meat items such as hamburgers, steak, pot roast, and anything else made from cattle. It's best that you avoid all red meat from your diet to reduce your risk of stroke or heart attack.

You'll also need to watch your intake of table sugar. Too much consumption of it has been linked to Type 2 Diabetes. Avoid all drinks with calories in them such as soft drinks.

Excess sodium has been linked to hypertension, a raising of your blood pressure. The higher your blood pressure, the more likely a stroke or heart attack wiil occur. Sodium is found in most every packaged cold cuts, processed foods, boxed foods, and fast food items featuring deep fried foods. Too little sodium may be bad as well. Be sure to speak with a dietary coach for advice on what kinds of foods you should be eating in moderation and which to avoid.

Avoid eating french fries. Period. They are cooked in deep fat, which may add unhealthy trans fats and saturated fats, neither of which you want or need in your blood stream. Cut them out now. If someone tries to upsell you french fries, then leave and visit another restaurant. If you want french fries, then cook them yourself at home using a skillet and vegetable oil after cutting them up into small 1/2-inch thick sticks.

For lower carb consumption, limit the amount of refinded carb products you consume to one ounce per day or your body will store the extra energy the carb produces as fat. Pasta is an example of a high carb product.

Avoid all alcohol at all costs, period. No amount of alcohol is safe for human consumption.

Limit consuption of processed white bread items to one ounce. Limit consumption of crackers (four per day), cookies (two per day), cake (one ounce), chips (about one ounce), candy (one ounce) and other snacks to a total of two ounces per day.

Make sure each meal has one serving of fruit, one serving of a green vegetable, one serving of any color vegetable, about three ounces of lean meat, and two ounces of starchy vegetables. If you're still hungry, eat another serving of vegetables and avoid eating more meat and starchy vegetables.

Here's some of the foods you should be eating more of. Please limit consumption of each food item listed and get as many different varieties of these food items as possible. Also, allow yourself to enjoy a few guilty pleasure treats such as a cookie or two, small piece of cake, or a small candy bar, to fight boredom of this diet. Have an occasional lean hamburger full of vegetable trimmings or a lamb chop. Don't overrestrict yourself from having some indulgence in your life.
