Foods to Include
You will notice that by following this guide you will be avoiding most packaged and processed foods. It is important that you increase the amount of vegetables (from the list below) that you include in your diet on a daily basis. Remember too that ‘fat is your friend as long as you are not eating carbohydrates’, so please include good fats in your diet daily; avocado, olive and coconut oil, butter.
What you can eat:
- Plenty of fresh vegetables, in particular those grown above the ground; lettuce, spinach, tomatoes, asparagus, zucchini, cucumber, capsicum, carrots (below ground but ok), broccoli, cauliflower, kale, celery, mushrooms
- Avocados
- Meat, poultry and fish (keep the fat on)
- Eggs
- Nuts and seeds – especially almonds, walnuts, macadamia and brazil nuts, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds and linseed
- Nut butter such as almond, macadamia and cashew and Tahini
- Cheese, cream, butter, sour cream, cream cheese, milk (full cream)
- Coconut cream and coconut milk
- Oils – coconut oil (cooking), olive oil, avocado oil, walnut oil, other nut oils
- Yoghurt (Natural unsweetened yoghurt, Unsweetened greek yoghurt,full fat varieties (check ingredient list))
- Fruit but no more than 1 piece per day (avoid banana or grapes due to the very high carb count). Include apples, pears, citrus, kiwifruit, summer fruit and berries (frozen berries are fine). A good guide is ‘what’s in season within reason’
