 It also covers many kinds of processed and fast foods in greater detail than you'll find on most packages or menus.
A similar resource is available for helping you to make choices about what type of seafood to eat and how much. Go to http:// www.gotmercury.org and enter your weight and the quantity and type of seafood you will eat during the coming week, then hit Calculate. The calculator will tell you whether your exposure to mercury through consuming a particular fish in a specific amount at your given weight constitutes a low, moderate, or high toxicity risk, based on current EPA standards. |

 Others join Weight Watchers, Nutrisystem® and Jenny Craig®, each of which tries to convince you that you need their food menus to succeed. Slimfast would have you believe that replacing meals with shakes is the answer.
These diets have two things in common. Not one of them has a magic formula for success and none of them will provide sustained results. Weight loss and lasting results cannot be achieved unless you have established a mindset for success and have changed your routines and habits to include regular physical activity and proper food intake as the foundation for a new lifestyle. |

 Choose to have healthier menus, using organic foods, and transition to organic ingredients (no pesticides, antibiotics, hormones, irradiation or genetically engineered ingredients). Read the food labels and look out especially for the following chemicals:
• Sunset yellow (El 10 or FD&C Yellow 6) is a dye used in, among other foods, orange jellies and squashes, apricot jam and packet soups. It's also in Smarties, and at least one variety of Lucozade (a popular British and now also American sports drink). |

 Although the sample daily menus include only one afternoon snack, if you get hungry between breakfast and lunch, eat another recommended snack. Try to eat dinner before 7 PM, and then do not eat again until breakfast. Drink water with lemon until bedtime. Keep small sandwich bags of chopped carrots and celery and nuts in the refrigerator. Grab them for a quick snack when you are on the run.
• Keep a weekly weight-loss journal and diet diary (see Appendix A). Record your weight, symptoms of hormone imbalance, stress level, and exercise patterns. |

 Several of the books listed have quite large sections devoted to menus and recipes. Note that some of the cooked food suggestions and ingredients apply more to a transitional diet when one is changing over to healthier choices.
My personal diet has simplified over the years until now I typically eat only fruit until noon. Then I consume smoothies, especially green varieties, along with dehydrated crackers. I snack on raw veggies or fruit with a few nuts and seeds, or dehydrated crackers. On occasion, I eat something different for variety, but I try to make it a healthy choice. |

 The meals and menus are designed for built-in calorie control. more frustrating, have you ever struggled to follow a diet plan by modifying it to your taste? So the dinner they suggest on Tuesday—one of the few you like— you substitute for the prescribed dinner on Friday and Saturday and so on. Once you begin to make these changes in an eating plan, you feel less and less committed to it. It's human nature. You're not really following Diet A: You're following your version of Diet A. |

 And since there is a natural tendency to eat everything on your plate, you know the consequence of ordering from their menus.
People who eat fast food three or more times a week have a greater than 90% chance of developing heart disease or diabetes. I don't want to develop heart disease or diabetes, do you? That's why I stopped eating fast food.
I know that I sound like a broken record when I talk about how many diseases are preventable by changing behavior. |

 Because there is no single answer to the question of what to eat, these guidelines will produce as many different menus as there are people using them.
These rules of thumb are also not framed in the vocabulary of nutrition science. This is not because nutrition science has nothing important to teach us—it does, at least when it avoids the pitfalls of reductionism and overconfidence—but because I believe we have as much, if not more, to learn about eating from history and culture and tradition. |

 Still, the less fanfare the better; just introduce more nutritious menus slowly, and set a good example by eating and enjoying without negative comment. Rather, make positive comments about how good the vegetables taste as they are being eaten, and how good they are for the body. If questions are raised as to why the menus are different, be honest and direct: "We've been reading (or the doctor told us, or John and Mary have been telling us) that junk foods make our bodies sick." I have found that by apologizing to the children for having fed them junk actually earned more respect. |

 In All Restaurants, Practice Defensive Eating
Here s why: It is possible to navigate menus in most restaurants, but the guiding rule is this: don't assume anything about what will be served on your plate. A meal such as a chicken Caesar salad that is usually similar from one restaurant to another may be very different in the restaurant you've chosen. Not making assumptions means that you will ask a lot of questions, so don't be shy about it. For example, you'll want to ask whether the restaurant adds croutons, a refined carbohydrate, to its salads. If it does, ask the waiter to leave them off. |

 Finally, be aware that the recommended recipes in the following menus can be found in the back of this book, beginning on page 86.
SAMPLE ANTI-INFLAMMATORY menus Day One
Breakfast: Northwest Salmon Hash (page 87).
Lunch: Large bowl of Multi-Bean Soup (page 88), rice crackers, fresh fruit of your choice.
Dinner: Salmon Poached in White Wine (page 96), Vegetable Risotto (page 97), crudites (raw vegetables), Roasted Asparagus (page 95).
Snack: Fresh fruit or raw nut mix.
Day Two
Breakfast: Rice-based protein drink blended with fresh fruit and flax seed or olive oil. |

Now There's Proof!
For many years, we've all heard that a diet high in whole fruits and vegetables, legumes, fish, and poultry is healthy—better for our hearts, and better for our bodies overall. But is there proof that people who maximize their intake of these foods actually have a lower incidence of inflammatory disease? |

 It is totally ridiculous that these companies portray themselves as doing public health a favor by offering "lighter" versions on their menus. Their menus contribute in a big way to our society's obesity epidemic and poor quality of health. They market directly to the subconscious problems of a society full of food addicts—a situation they helped to create in the first place.
The number of calories that should comprise a meal varies based on a person's physical size, activity level, and any needed weight loss. |

 RAINBOW DIET SAMPLE MENUS
Here are sample menus with many choices for each meal. You can mix and match any breakfast with any lunch and any dinner. Always have a drink with your meal. Try freshly squeezed orange or grapefruit juice, caffeine-free green tea, herbal tea, skim or soy milk, or water or no-salt seltzer with lemon. Use sugar substitutes if necessary. |

| Sweet Potato Soup
This soup should be married to fall and winter menus. It is as beautiful as it is delicious. Spice it up, ifyou want, with a dash of cayenne pepper and a garnish of fresh cilantro leaves. |
| While the menus were what the editor wanted, I knew that they were not altogether practical. It was interesting reading, but the probable execution of the week was highly unlikely! And the execution of a plan is the key to success for achieving a healthy goal like losing weight. My mom's call reminded me yet again of something that many nutritionists and diet books ignore: You do not have to vary your diet as widely as you're often led to believe. Most people do not eat a different breakfast every day of the week. Most people repeat their favorite lunches a few times a week. |

How practical is it really for a diet to prescribe specific meals for certain days for three or four weeks? Many diets will specify seven different breakfasts— one for each day of the week. Many diets require you to cook 21 different meals each week! Who eats like that? Who has time to prepare those meals? |
| Depending on what appeals to you in the SlimDown menus, you can choose fresh or frozen skinless breasts, nitrate-free and nitrite-free deli slices, cutlets, or lean ground meat. Apple-gate Farms sells a very nice variety of tasty turkey slices and Honeysuckle White brand has a fat-free sliced turkey available at deli counters.
Salmon and its sidekicks are top chokes but unless you're relying on frozen fish, you'll be buying it the day or the day before you prepare it. Canned salmon, on the other hand, can always be available in your pantry. Most canned salmon is wild. |

 A recent trend in response to growing concern about the obesity epidemic has been the inclusion of healthier items on children's menus at fast-food establishments, including offering fruit choices as an alternative to French fries and low-fat milk as an alternative to soda. However, observations that fast-food establishments continue to offer menu items with excessive portion sizes despite recommendations to reduce portion sizes and public assertions by these companies that they will make changes, voluntary efforts to reduce portion sizes are unlikely to be effective [201]. |

 Specific Questions You Should Be Prepared to Ask
When navigating menus at restaurants, always be polite, but don't ever take "I don't know" for an answer. If the waiter doesn't know the answer and just stands there, ask him to check with the chef. It's also a good idea to send the breadbasket back the moment it arrives.
In some ethnic restaurants, you might encounter a language barrier or might inadvertently violate some minor custom. |

| Meals and menus can then be constructed using information on food labels or in food composition tables to achieve this carbohydrate target.
General eating patterns that help to achieve a high carbohydrate intake are summarized later.
IV. PROTEIN REQUIREMENTS FOR ATHLETES
There is still considerable debate about how much dietary protein is required for optimal athletic performance. The interest in protein (meat) probably dates back to ancient Greece. There are reports that athletes in ancient Greece, in preparation of Olympic games, consumed large amounts of meat. |

 MORE menus THAN YOU'LL KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH
This section could be retitled "More Food Synergy Than You'll Know What to Do With." We've learned about so many different food components that work together for maximum health benefit, it can be mind-blowing to think about how to put it all together to fit our lifestyles.
If you want to see what a more "whole foods" eating plan looks like, from meal to meal and day to day, incorporating as many Synergy Super Foods and partnerships as practically possible, this next section is just for you. |
