What a short list!

I'm vegetarian & rarely eat anything unhealthy.

Nuts, seeds, squash, grapefruits, pomegranates, quinoa, kefir...

What is kefir really? Dairy?

Fermented dairy. There's also water kefir, but the nutritional & probiotic value is considerably lower.

I vote lentil soup. Then berries like raspberry though that was not there. Strawberries I don't like as much.

It's okay to like a certain type of food and not another.

How do you make kale pesto niretro ? I like the sound of it.

See link below - I use Grano Padano cheese instead of Parmesan (Parmesan is not vegetarian). You can also use toasted pine nuts instead of the toasted walnuts if you prefer :-)

I have always loved pineapples. I recently learnt that they don't carry a lot of calories! They now rank above bananas πŸ˜‚. I just love the combination of Kale and beans.

Sounds great! I can't have bananas because of too much potassium. Miss them!

Vegetarian here, so they're pretty much always on my list - apart from lentils which don't agree with my IBS!

I agree are great and I like all of them. My problem is I prefer ice cream ginger biscuits and lemon drizzle cake

Is the ice cream low fat or fat free?

Hi Janice,

Try cutting out all processed foods, especially those with artificial sweeteners, as they mess up digestion & metabolism. Eating a grapefruit with as much of the white pith as you can manage, improves the digestion of fats. Try to include a good probiotic like kefir, which will give you more nutrients, protein, & improve your digestion. chriskresser.com/kefir-the-...

Everyone's metabolism is different, so you need to work out what's best for you, though low fat diets that people try don't work long term. Have a look at Chris Kresser's website for good articles & free e-books. I don't follow a paleo diet, but what he writes makes sense.

I have a clean food diet, eat a lot of fruit & vegetables, & a lot of good fats as I eat 100g of nuts & seeds a day, along with full fat dairy. I'm not too good at burning starches as injuries have made me inactive.

HI I AM SORRY I HAVE NOT BEEN IN TOUCH AS I WAS ON HOLIDAY'S YOU REPLYIF I COULD USE MY ARM'S WHICH I CAN AT THE MOMENT AS I MAKE MY OWN GREETING CARD'S I WOULD AGREE TO GIVING IT A TRY THANK.YOU SO MUCH JANICE.

My all time favorite healthy food is avocado. Others on the list are: all beans, berries, 85% dark choc (I like green&blacks for sweetness but there are plenty of brands I haven't tried), salmon, tropical fruit and smoked almonds. Lentils I'm still learning to love.. kale I have a very turbulent on off relationship.. mainly not into it.
