What are the heathly foods that i can eat, fruit...sweet etc...?
Answers:
Improve you health by making a fresh fruit smoothie as part of your breakfast in the morning.
Brown bread, seeds, nuts, healthy oils, fruit and veg (the more colour and variety, the better they are for you), tofu, miso, rice milk (better for you than cow's milk), agave syrup to sweeten food, rice, fresh herbs, natural teas, dates, dark chocolate (70% cocoa), quinoa, marmite (for the vitamins) etc
Avoid:
white anything (flour, rice, bread etc), large quantities of sugar or salt, adding salt to processed food (that is already crammed with salt), meat (especially red), fish (dioxin- a poison- is present in most fish), milk chocolate, artifical sweeteners (aspartame, acesulfame K etc).
Tips:
Try to cook your own meals rather than by buying readymeals. It keeps you on your feet!
Find quick tasty snacks- a wholemeal bagel, toasted and then stuffed with houmous and salad (and marinated tofu, if you have it) is tasty, as is a wholemeal pitta, toasted and stuffed with stir-fried veg - to stop you from filling a gap with bad food! Stir-fries, wholemeal spaghetti with homemade passata (tomato/basil sauce).
Drinks- smoothies, natural flavoured mineral water, herbal teas, mineral water, natural cola etc
Sweets- dark chocolate, home-made cookies/cakes/biscuits made from healthier ingredients
Snacks- baby crisps without e-numbers (check ingredients), wholemeal toast with homemade jam/marmalade or marmite, crackers topped with veggie fillings, flavoured cous cous packets (cooks in about 5 mins!).

Berries are among the best things. Seeds are good. And the usual whole grains. Fermented foods, like yogurt and miso, tempeh, are beneficial. Beans and legumes are a good source of protein and fiber. Healthy fats like fish oil, which maybe you chose to avoid, or flax oil. All the vegetables and fruits are good for you. As for sweets, avoid regular refined sugar. There are lots of substitutes, honey, even finely chopped dates or date sugar.
Nuts, fruit as in berries, granola without sugar stuff, yogurt with splenda, etc..
any doc will tell you that eating white bread, tortillas, pretty much anything made with white flour is bad for u...whole grain/wheat breads/grains are good for u...pasta's good for u, as long as it's not all thick n creamy, not whole milk, but 2 percent or nonfat milk is good, baked chicken, any veggie that's green is great for u, there's diabetic(sugar free) candies that taste pretty good, i.e; chocolate, if u drink soda, don't drink anything that u cannot see through or that is high in sugar...a good thing to do is look for a diabetic book, what's in there is all healthy...but stick with the greens :)
