THE NO CANCER EATING PLAN (or at least one of them :)) Limit Less Healthy Carbs (Foods with high glycemic index) Include Healthier Carbs (Foods with low glycemic index) Table sugar Dried fruits (1-2 tablespoons) Sugar sweetened beverages (sodas, lemonade, fruit drinks) Low-fat / nonfat milk or soymilk (1 cup) Desserts Fresh fruit (1 medium fruit) Candy Raw vegetables (1 cup) Chips Cooked vegetables (1/2 cup) Unbleached wheat flour (“white” flour) Whole grain flours White rice Brown or wild rice White pasta Whole grain pasta Eating the healthier carbs with a healthy protein and/or fat can also be helpful. This slows down the digestion of carbs and the entrance of glucose into the cells. The following foods are examples of healthy foods that are good sources of proteins and fats. Add these foods to carbs at meals and snacks. • Beans, lentils • Soy nuts • Avocado • Nuts, nut butters • Healthy oils (olive, canola, flaxseed) • High fat coldwater fish (salmon, mackerel, albacore) • Protein powders derived from whey, soy or brown rice • Plain low-fat / nonfat yogurt
