SOME GOOD ADVICES FOR HEALTHY DIET
How Much?
How much should you consume at each meal? It’s best to eat small portions of a variety of foods. Eat slowly; when you eat rapidly your stomach fills up before your brain gets the signal to turn off your appetite. Eat until you feel almost full, then stop. A short time later your brain will get the message, and you’ll feel comfortable. Never eat until you feel stuffed. The Super Food diet is more concerned with your “doctor within” and your immune system than with weight loss. If you wish to lose weight, eat more vegetables and less grains and beans.
Give It Time
The Super Food diet is based on something that many of us are unfamiliar with—the natural taste of food. We’re so accustomed to fat, sugar and artificial flavors and textures we often turn up our noses at real, unadulterated food. I remember how hard it was, many years ago, to persuade my young children that apple juice was really brown in color, not yellowish.
Give your taste buds a little time to get used to food’s natural flavors. At first you may miss the salt, gravies, sugar, sauces, oils and butter that we habitually pour all over our food. But soon you’ll realize just how good fresh foods taste all by themselves.
Healthy Lunches at Work
Relatively few people consistently eat lunch at home. “How can I eat a decent lunch at the office?” many patients ask. Good, healthy lunches can be brought from home. Many of my patients who are executives, bankers, accountants and businesspeople, carry their vegetables and other foods right in their briefcases. Bringing food to work is also less expensive than eating out all the time. Healthy and economical—what a deal! But if you must eat out, order lightly steamed vegetables, served without rich sauces or other foods prepared in the ways I have described.
Having mastered the Immune For life philosophy of eating, and its daily applications, it’s time to turn to the exercises that will benefit your “doctor within.” In the next chapter you’ll learn how brisk walking, as well as other exercises, help to make your “doctor within” as strong as it can be.
