Eat little and often:
no fasting
Don't cook every meal:
you lose nutrients in cooking foods.
To Maintain Energy Levels:
Eat carbohydrates in the morning/afternoon and proteins in the afternoon/evening:
Carbohydrates that are beneficial:
- OATS
- FRUIT
- VEGETABLES
- POTATOES
- YAMS
- BROWN RICE
- LENTILS
- QUINOA
- Wheat and gluten based products, especially the whites, white bread, white rice, white pasta etc.
- Processed breakfast cereals
- Processed fruit juices
- FISH AND SEAFOOD
- EGGS
- GOAT/SHEEP MILK/CHEESE - Fat globules are 5 times smaller, and contain more nutrients, than cow based products and are therefore easier to digest.
- BEANS
- NUTS
- SEEDS
- YOGURT
- WHEY
