Page 18 - Essentials For Eating Again

Fresh fruit salad. Chop up some apples, melons, berries, oranges, pears,

bananas, grapes … any or all or whatever your favorite fruits are. Add a bit
of lime or lemon juice.

Protein shake. I utilize soy protein powder, but whey works well also. Blend

up with low-fat milk or soya milk, a few frozen blueberries, and perhaps a

little almond butter or oatmeal. That might sound weird, but it’s really pretty
great, and pretty filling. A little ground flax seed works well as well.

Eggs with peppers. Egg whites are healthier than whole eggs. Scramble with

a little olive oil, red and green bell peppers, perhaps broccoli, onions, and
black pepper. Goes well with whole meal toast.

Cottage cheese and fruit. Get low-fat cottage cheese. Add any sort of fruit.

Apples, citrus, berries.

Fill up on colorful fruits and veggies

Eat a rainbow of fruits and veggies daily—the brighter the better. Fruits and

veggies are the foundation of a fit diet—they're low in calories and nutrient
dense, which means they're jammed with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants

and fiber.

Fruits and veggies ought to be part of each meal and your first choice for a
snack—aim for a lower limit of 5 portions daily. The antioxidants and

additional nutrients in fruits and veggies help protect against particular

types of cancer and other diseases.
