Complex carbohydrates, proteins, fiber and good fats should be the bulk or your calorie intake for optimal nutrition. Complex carbohydrates include vegetables, whole grains, beans and fruits. Don’t forget berries. Animal proteins are higher in saturated fats, so be sure to limit those and instead include more protein from soy, fish, nuts and seeds. You can also get protein from some grains, legumes and vegetables. Many of the whole foods listed above are also very high in the fiber that we need in our diets. Polyunsaturated oils, the good fats that are needed in our diets, are included in fish oil, flaxseeds, grape seeds and walnuts to name a few. Dairy products should be included if you can tolerate them. Plenty of water is absolutely essential.
