#healthyeating guidelines published by the #alliancefornaturalhealth updated for #intermittentfasting and the latest nutrition research. What do you think?! Don’t snack! It’s best to leave at least 5 hours between meals Drink only water between meals Consider introducing intermittent fasting into your lifestyle by having longish overnight fasts and perhaps eating two meals daily, not three. Consider a couple of days a week in which you limit caloric intake to 500–600 calories Always eat protein at the same meal as carbs, and make sure your first mouthful is protein, not carbs, to help dampen your insulin response Go low glycaemic load by removing or minimising starchy carbs Use vegetables and fruit as your key sources of carbohydrate, not starchy carbs like pasta, rice and potatoes Use lower-heat cooking methods that minimise protein and fat damage, e.g. slow cooking, sautéing, steaming, etc. Incorporate adequate healthy fats (e.g. cold pressed, unfiltered virgin olive oil, medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) from coconut, omega-3s from cold-water fish and even undamaged saturated fats from organically raised meats) in your diet ‘Eat a rainbow every day’ to boost your phytonutrient intake. Ensure you are eating members of the main 5 phytonutrient groups based on colour, namely: green, red, orange, blue/purple and white/tan.
