- Fats – raw coconut oil is best to use, try to limit the amount of olive oil in cooking, and try to limit other vegetable oils.
- Fiber – make sure you have lots of low glycemic vegetables such as spinach and broccoli to fill you up, and help your digestive system, cholesterol, and blood sugar.
- More Fruits and Vegetables – eat a wide variety to provide important vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients needed to keep your body healthy.
