Lunch Lunch is a great time to enjoy a healthy bowl of soup, a large salad, and some whole grain bread. Bean soups and other legume dishes are especially good lunch selections for people with diabetes and blood sugar problems due to their ability to improve blood sugar regulation. Legumes are filling, yet low in calories. Dinner For dinner, the healthiest meals contain a fresh vegetable salad, a cooked vegetable side dish or a bowl of soup, whole grains, and legumes. The whole grains may be provided in bread, pasta, or pizza, or as a side dish or part of a recipe for an entree.

I þHot cereals such as oatmeal or whole grain wheat cereal with cinnamon, raisins, and/or applesauce (no milk) þCold cereals such as bran flakes with fat-free soy or rice milk and/or berries, peaches, or bananas þMelon, cantaloupe, bananas, or any other fruit þRye or pumpernickel toast topped with cinnamon (no butter or margarine) If you like extra protein, try these.

So, instead of bacon and eggs for breakfast, they had to choose from old-fashioned oatmeal, half a cantaloupe, or whole grain toast. If they had chili for lunch, it was veggie chili. Instead of pasta topped with meat sauce, they got meatless marinara. For the duration of the study, we asked them to set aside animal products completely and stick to vegetarian foods. Needless to say, if there are no animal products in the diet, there is not a single drop of animal fat. We kept the use of vegetable oils as minimal as possible, too.

When the NAS's report concluded in June 1982 that a lower intake of fat and a higher intake of fruits, vegetables and whole grain products would make for a healthier diet, I had betrayed, in the eyes of some, the nutrition research community. Supposedly, as one of the two diet and cancer experimental researchers on the panel, it was my job to protect the reputation of the American diet as it was. After my failure to do so, my subsequent involvement with the AICR and its promotion of the NAS report only made matters worse. Luckily, reason prevailed in this whole farcical encounter.

Let's say you prepare sauteed spinach with ginger and whole grain ravioli shells stuffed with butternut squash and spices, topped with a walnut tomato sauce. The spinach alone is a cornucopia of various chemical components. Chart 11.1 is only a partial list of what you might find in your mouth after a bite of spinach. As you can see, you've just introduced a bundle of nutrients into your body.

Principally, we were encouraging the consumption of fruits, vegetables and whole grain cereal products, while decreasing total fat intake. The fact that this report was concerned with cancer instead of heart disease, however, elevated emotions. The stakes were high and getting higher; cancer incites a far greater fear than heart disease. Given the stakes, some powerful enemies came out of the woodwork.

Then, if you want to get wheat bran into your diet, you have to make a point to purchase it separately or purchase products made from whole grain wheat. Taking out the germ The next thing that is removed from the wheat berry is the "germ". The germ is the nucleus of the berry. This is the part that contains the tiny leaves that will unfold and start capturing solar radiation once the seed has sprouted. The germ is rich in healthy oils.

First of all, customers buy products with refined white flour because refined flour tastes sweeter than whole grain flour. Refined white flour quickly turns into simple sugars right in your mouth, even before you swallow it. So customers tend to buy products made with white flour. As a result, food-manufacturing companies want to buy ingredients that can be turned into products their customers will actually buy. Long shelf life makes foods affordable and profitable The second reason is because the whole wheat berry contains healthy oils that will go rancid in a matter of weeks.

It will cause nutritional deficiencies and it will ultimately put you in a state of chronic disease that could easily be avoided by consuming whole grain flour and getting outstanding nutrition rather than consuming processed grains. All of this leads us to Nutritional Law Number Four: Americans suffer from mass malnutrition even while they consume excess calories So don't make the mistake of thinking that nutrition simply means calories. Often, around the world, when you hear the term 'malnutrition', you're shown images of thin, bony children who haven't had anything to eat.

So most people will reach for that instead of whole grain bread. But they do so at their own peril. Ultimately, the most ignorant or uninformed consumers are the ones that end up eating the foods that are worst for their health. Meanwhile, pets and farm animals are getting far better nutrition because the nutritious ingredients that they need are actually waste products from the manufacture of foods that human beings will choose.

And if you take whole grain wheat berries and grind them up, you will reduce the effective shelf life of whatever foods are made from that ingredient. As a result, in order to make a product that corporate customers will buy, the food processing facility has to disassemble the wheat berry and pull out only the parts that its customers want to buy. Let's take a look at the anatomy of a wheat berry so we can understand what's really going on here. The anatomy of a wheat berry A wheat berry is, of course, a seed.

Rye, whole grain .22 Beans, pinto and red .21 Black-eyed peas .21 Niacin (Vitamin B3) Since niacin, or vitamin B3, can be made in the body by the conversion of tryptophan, many nutritionists do not consider niacin an essential nutrient as long as trytophan intake is adequate. Niacin functions in the body as a component in the coenzymes nicotinamide adenine dinu-cleotide (NAD) and nicotinamide adenine di-nucleotide phosphate (NADP), which are involved in well over fifty different chemical reactions in the body.

Recommendations Q In the evening, eat bananas, dates, figs, milk, nut butter, tuna, turkey, and whole grain crackers, or yogurt. These foods are high in tryptophan, which promotes sleep. Eating a grapefruit half at bedtime also helps. Q Do not eat large meals within two hours of bedtime. Q Avoid caffeine, alcohol, and nicotine in the four to six hours before bedtime. A small amount can help induce sleep initially, but it invariably disrupts deeper sleep cycles later. While smoking may seem to have a calming effect, nicotine is actually a neurostimulant and can cause sleep problems.

Eating whole grain foods provides all the nutrition available in that plant. Alive Natural food is alive. Even scavenger animals eat meat that has not been stored very long. The main advantage to eating food that is or has been recently alive is that all the nutrients present in that food are available for use. Fresh food, alive or recently alive, has not had time to deteriorate or to develop infection or infestations with organisms and insects that are harmful. Fresh food that has deteriorated loses substantial amounts of vitamins and enzymes.

So we have a system operating today where we take whole grain foods out of the earth, we dissect them into two piles, and then we take the unhealthiest parts of those grains and feed them to the human population! Then we take the parts of those foods containing good nutrition and feed them to our animals in order to keep them healthy and alive. The result of all of this shouldn't be surprising: human beings suffer from obesity and chronic diseases that are a result of widespread nutritional deficiencies. We're feeding ourselves to death No surprise, huh?

Use organic whole grain flour that has been minimally processed, or buy organic grains and grind them yourself. 30. Eat nothing that says "fat free" on the label. Food companies want you to buy their products. Whatever the hot button is at the time will determine what their marketing people decide goes on the label. "Fat free" does not mean "healthy." When you see "fat free" on the label, be assured that the company is trying to deceive you, so don't buy it. Most fat free products are simply loaded with unbelievable amounts of sugar and chemicals. 31.

On occasion my idea of a snack is some toast made with whole grain or sprouted bread and raw organic honey. The key is you don't want to be hungry. Remember, you are nutritionally deficient. Remember that virtually every disease has been linked to nutritional deficiencies. Remember that the research is conclusive that when nutritional deficiencies are addressed many diseases vanish! Remember, the powers that be want you to believe that you need drugs to cure and prevent disease. This is a great lie. The fact is diseases are not caused by "lack of drugs.
