1. Non-Starchy Vegetables: leafy greens, like lettuce, spinach, and kale. These are high in nutrients and minerals and vitamins, and low in starch and fiber. He says with any leafy green to eat as much as you can.
Broccoli, cauliflower, and brussel sprouts are not leafy greens but still low starch and very healthy for you. Eat vegetables with 5%, or less, net carbs.
2. Berries. More is not better. Berries are the best type of fruit to eat, because most fruits have been altered. Our ancestors might have gad access to fruit but it was small, tart, and seasonal. So humans have never had access to sweet, juicy, large fruit, 365 days a year that we do nowadays, that provide a lot of sugar. Even though it does provide a lot of nutrients, it does have more sugar than humans should have in the long run. Eat them sparingly.
Berries are the best because they are the lowest in sugar, highest in fiber, and jam packed with vitamins. The best berries are strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries. They're the lowest in sugars, highest in nutrients.
3. Meat. Animal proteins. They provide a full spectrum of essential amino acids. They're one of the few food groups that humans could live on and survive. Most other things that we would eat exclusively for a short time, we would perish. We would get some sort of deficiency or we just wouldn't get enough, especially the fat kind, provide enough nutrients that we could live on it for years. I'm not saying that's optimal, although some carnivores are doing really well on that.
That would include beef, pork, chicken, lamb, any form of wild animal like rabbit, venison, or buffalo, and of course, fish, salmon, sardines, and mackerel, the clean fatty fish that provide tons and tons of omega fatty 3s.
