Suggestions
Concerning yeast, reading the ingredients label isn't always enough in order to avoid “invisible” yeast like oven-baked flour, mushrooms, honey, wine, vinegar, unleavened bread... The food profile “Yeast: yes and no foods” offers a list of allowed foods and those to avoid.
Basic rules
- Always start every meal (or snack) with a bite of “raw, fresh and colorful” fruit and/or vegetable;
- Always combine carbohydrates and proteins in order to avoid glycemic peaks;
- Always choose a good extra virgin olive oil over animal fats like butter and cream;
- Avoid sugar: jam is allowed, best if homemade and without added sugar;
- Eggs can be eaten in every diet, even as many as six or seven per week!
