Diet

In a few word, here’s the stuff I eat:

Cooked oats for breakfast, and a slice of wholegrain (100%whole) bread (possibly made by myself).
Steamed vegetables
Whole rice, whole rye, whole spelt, whole pasta.
High quality linseed (flax seed) oil, hemp oil, extra-virgin olive oil. These oils must be used after the food is cooked, not before (specially the linseed and hemp oil, they deteriorate if heated).
Salt and various spices to add taste, but try to stay easy, don’t mix too much spices.
Eggs
A piece of low GI (Glicemic Index) fruit between lunch and dinner, for example a Granny Smith Apple.
Lots of herbal teas and sometime black tea.

As a sweetener I am trying to use (with moderation) Stevia. My glucose levels are fine after using stevia to sweeten my teas, and I believe it is a safe sweetener (it tastes better than aspartame and saccharine, too). But don’t take my word for it, use stevia at your own risk. If you can’t get stevia, then try to not use sweeteners in your food.

Please note I am vegetarian. If you are not, you can add salmon or tuna to your diet.

AVOID ANYTHING THAT COMES BOXED AND SITS ON A SUPERMARKET SHELF.
AVOID ANYTHING WHOSE INGREDIENT IS NOT ITSELF ONLY.

MOST OF ALL AVOID DIARY, NUTS, COFFEE, PROCESSED FOOD, FAST FOOD, TAKE AWAY FOOD, ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS, ALCOHOL, MARGARINE AND SIMILAR FATS.

The easier a food is, the easier it is for your body to process it.
Avoiding industrial food is easier for me than reading all labels.

If you eat out, ask for grilled or steamed vegetables.

If you feel shy telling people you have such a “strange” diet, just tell them you are on a SPECIAL DIET. That’s it, it’s easy.

Specially when you begin the diet and for the first few months, stick to it quite closely and exercise a lot.
