- Aim to eat 2 Low GL fruits a day.
- Strawberries are awesome!
- For lunch and supper, the meal should consist of 1/4 protein, 1/4 Low GL Carbohydrates (starch veg) and 1/2 vegetables.
- Beans and Lentils (and Quinoa) are a source of protein AND Carbohydrates. So a cup of lentils should be eaten with half a cup of rice rather than equal proportions.
- Eat food slowly to further slow-release the carbohydrate. CHEW! My stomach doesn't have teeth!
- Seeds and nuts are good, but not too many. A heaped tablespoon per day is enough
- 5 eggs a week max
- Holford suggests chicken and fish and other veg proteins rather than beef, pork and lamb.
