I spent an hour on the phone this week with a clinical nutritionist and it was fascinating to hear his perspective on eating healthy. I asked him what a typical day of his eating looks like and this is what he said:
Breakfast
2 poached organic eggs with green tea
Snack
Apple and handful of raw nuts
Lunch
Salad with a little broiled chicken
Snack
Apple and handful of raw nuts
Dinner ( He does not have a starch at night)
Organic Chicken or lamb
Organic Veggies
He said he strongly believes in eating locally and organically. He eats a lot of quinoa and couscous, too. He only has a little dairy (maybe once a week and it is white) must be organic. He rarely has dessert. He recommended cooking with olive oil unless it is high heat. He said he does not eat a lot of meat and only occasionally had fish since the mercury level is so high. If you do have salmon he recommended wild and very little beef..
He highly recommended to not eat corn or soy products. He also said stay away from eating meat from corn fed animals.
He helped a friend of mine lose a significant amount of weight and here were the tips he gave them.
1. More intense exercise
2. More water
3. No high fructose corn syrup
4. Eat pure food the way God made it
One key to preventing disease he said is to keep inflammation out of our bodies by eating the right foods.
To your health,
Melissa
