Question:
Answers:
Juice of wheatgrass or barley
Raw sauerkraut
Sprouted seeds
Chlorella, spirulina and seaweed
Wild rice
White and green tea
Full grain bread, pumpernickel bread, Spelt bread
Oat meal
Full grain spaghetti (cook it Al dente, Al dente is a fancy term for
pasta that's fully cooked, but not overly soft)
Eggs, 2-3 a week (have a look at Columbus eggs from Belgium)
Rice bran (low glycemic value)
Seafood, especially (wild) salmon, tuna, mackerel, herring
avoid shrimp.
Raw nuts: almonds, walnuts, pecans, pistachions, hazelnuts
Fruit
Eat bananas and grapes as breakfast, great sources of kalium and
magnesium
Vegetables (avoid cooked carrots, corn)
Quinoa, Bulghur, Amaranth, pitabread
Beans, a great food product, if you want to loose weight replace
your rice/potatoes by beans and see what happens.
Chicken, low fat beef
White kidney beans, according to US researchers this bean can
block the conversion of carbs to glucose so less fat will be stored.
I know this beans are available in Madagascar but not sure if
they are available in Europe or USA.
Low glycemic food products. What is the glycemic index?
Use a low fat diet
choose for good fat (olive oil, seafish, raw nuts)
Take daily raw carrots, tomatoes, green beans, these all
contain alpha-carotene (more powerful than beta-carotene)
It can protect your cells from the damaging effects of free radicals, provide a good source of vitamin A and enhance the functioning of your immune system. Alpha-carotene has received a tremendous amount of attention as potential anti-cancer and anti-aging compound.
Use garlic and onions
The results of a few epidemiological studies suggest that high intakes of garlic and other Allium vegetables (e.g., onions and leeks) may help protect against gastric and colorectal cancer

What to avoid
Proteines in the morning, these are heavy for your digestion process.
By eating just fruit and carrotjuice in the morning you extend the
cleansing and detox process of the night. So your body has more time
to get rid of bad stuff. Always start the day with taking warm (not hot!)
water with bit of lemonjuice. This will activate your liver and remove
mucilage from your bowels.
Too much dairy products, instead of milk and desserts take low fat
yoghurt and cheese. Even beter is to replace dairy by more green vegetables, almonds and sesamseeds which are better sources of
calcium. Simply keep in mind where the cow gets its calcium from,
does an adult cow drink dairy products? No, they use green grass.
The best thing you can do is grow barley wheat and extract juice
from it. One glass contains 11 times the amount of calcium in a
glass of milk and no side effects. If you have chronic forehead
infections or colds keep in mind that dairy can be the reason. In
that case drink soymilk for 1 month to see what happens.
Coffee and tea, stick to max 1 serving a day. If you drink tea
drink it with a bit of skimmed milk so the calcium in your stomach
is not absorbed by the acid (Tannin) in the tea. Better drink
herbal teas, water, tomato juice, fresh fruit drinks (no sugar added).
Also coffee and tea extra water so for each cup you need to drink
2 glasses of water to compensate the loss. This is essential for
weight loss. Water helps your body to get rid of things and gives
energy to your cells and various digestion processes. Never drink
shortly for, after or during a meal as the water will dilute the
flatulence acid so digestion of your food will take much more time
and energy.
Red meat, red meat and sugar fuel cancer cells so eat max 1-2
times a week red meat. If you switch to vegetarian food be very
careful with shortage of Vitamin B12 which is in animal products
only and very important for your brain / memory functions.
Cereals like cornflakes, focus on cereals that have low glycemic
values so which will not raise your blood sugar, good example is
All Bran (Kelloggs). High bloodsugar means more fat storage and more graving moods and interest in bad carbs and sugar.
Skipping breakfast, your body will need more food in the evening
which is resulting in more fat storage. The best way to start is
taking for example oatmeal with lowfat milk or soymilk.
Avoid sugars including table sugar, maltose, glucose, aspartaam,
sucrose, honey. Good sugar is frutose (fruit sugar). Also have a look
at Stevia which is a plant from Paraguay. This plant replaced 60%
of the sugar market in Japan.
Too much bread, bread contains glutes (sort of glue) so better eat
the full grain version, spelt or pumpernickel and max 2-3 slices a day. You could start the day with oatmeal and east 2 slices as lunch combined with soup (vegetable, chicken, tomato or lentil soup)

Healthy eating is cheaper than junk food. You fill the fridge with fresh fruits and veggies---get them at local farmers markets. Then eat very little meat, NO junk food like chips or desserts, eat whole grain breads, and drink lots of water (NO soda!)
The closer a food is to it's natural state, the healthier it is for you.
Just eat plenty of fruit and vegetables and make sure you have low-fat dairy products as well. Now as for cooking. If you are trying to lose weight and can't cook very well. Try the lean cuisine or Healthy Choice meals. They taste great. I hope this helps.
get fennel seeds. add 4 spoons in boiling water. it's known to lose weight. I've had the same problem too until i started taking flax seeds supplements. i take it 3 times a day few minutes before my meal (healthy) and it worked for me coz i'm not always hungry anymore. some of our hunger are actually psychological or just hard habbit to break. get to it and you'd be inspired day by day esp. if you worked so hard. Flax seeds are high in fatty acids that helps keep the good fat and burn the bad fat.
