1. Wild Salmon: great source of omega-3 fatty acids
2. Chicken breast: a standard low-fat protein.
3. Egg whites: a convenient source of low-fat protein that can be added to any meal to balance carbohydrates.
4. Broccoli/cauliflower: both are rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals, with the least amount of carbohydrates. Cooking cauliflower, then mashing it up and baking, makes a great substitute for mashed potatoes.
5. Spinach: a powerhouse of vitamins and minerals.
6. Red peppers: there is no better way to add color to a plate than red peppers. Loaded with antioxidants and protective phytochemicals and fiber.
7. Barley/oatmeal: These are two great grains. Rich in soluble fiber that slows the entry of any carbohydrate into the bloodstream.
8. Black beans: another great source of soluble fiber.
9. Berries: The best dessert known. Rich in antioxidants.
10. Extra virgin olive oil: My number-one favorite fat, as it contains powerful antioxidants known as polyphenols
