In summary, his daily meals contain vegetables, particularly green leafy vegetables, as the main ingredient in his meal preparation, while using other food materials with rich protein and some fat as the supporting roles, such as fish, seafood, beef, pork, chicken, etc. These secondary and supplementary ingredients provide necessary nutritional balance of proteins and fat to satisfy our body needs. He purposely tries to either completely avoiding or only consuming a small amount of grain foods. Here, grain foods are defined as any food made from wheat, rice, oats, barley, cornmeal, or cereal grain. Examples of grain foods are bread, pasta, breakfast cereals, grits, tortillas, cooked rice, or noodles. On average, the combined carbs/sugar amounts from all different colored vegetables have about 1/2 or less than the carbs/sugar content from the same sized grain food. It should be noted that fruits are important to our health but we should eat moderate amounts each time to avoid the glucose surge.
