Food tips

Try Eating Raw Food : You need a balance of three basic food groups as most of your diet:
  • sweet fruits (apples, oranges, berries, melons, etc.)
  • green leaves (dark lettuce, kale, collards, spinach, etc.)
  • raw plant fats (avocados, olives & their oil, coconuts & their oil, nuts & seeds, durian)
    • Eat lots of sweet fruit, lots of green leaves, and some fat (as dressing, pâté, hummus, etc.). Add vegetables as desired, and sprouted grains and legumes occasionally. Try fruit for breakfast and snacks; greens, veggies and fat for lunch and dinner.


    Making your own lunch instead of buying from a sandwich shop saves on packaging, and could also save you approx £4 a day or £1,000 per year!


    Weight loss info

    The Glycaemic Index Diet
    The gi index weight loss regime is based on the gi index, a list showing food types and a score illustrating the ease that the glucose of the food type gets changed to glucose in your body. The theory is that long-acting foods (ie those food types with a low Gi score), suppress your appetite and help you to take in fewer food without feeling you are always hungry.
    It's also extremely useful for sufferers from diabetes, as the low GI foods are useful in managing increases in glucose levels.
