Top Ten Barry Sears-Zone Diet creator.

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
