Organic Fruit:
(Earlier in Chapter 2, we mentioned the benefit of eating just fruit for breakfast. But here, we did include other break-fast foods. It is up to you to decide how diligent you want to be with your diet. We just wanted to provide hearty breakfast choices should you disregard the fruit-by-itself theory. Totally your choice.
You can eat the fruit before eating the muffin or pancakes or waffles. Whatever you want.)
Lunch Food List
Don’t eat lunch until you’re close to ravenous. This will allow your breakfast to pass through your body without having food piled on top of it. In a perfect, skinny world, lunch consists of a fresh, organic salad with lots of raw vegetables.

Obviously, the foods on the lunch and dinner lists can be used interchangeably.
A helpful hint: Prepare large batches of staple food items on Sunday night, to tide you over for your busy workweek. Brown rice, lentils, homemade hummus, soups, and pastas are all good candidates. But try not to do this with your veggies because they’ll lose some of their enzymatic punch.
Acceptable Junk Food,
Snacks & Desserts
There’s something about a snack that makes you feel like a kid again. And that’s a good thing. If you’re hungry, but not quite ready for dinner, have a small snack. As long as it’s healthy, it doesn’t spoil your dinner, and you only have a small serving, there is no reason to feel bad about having a snickety-snack. But don’t have one just because you can. Only eat it if you want it. Otherwise, just wait for dinner.
Dessert is one of God’s many gifts to humans. Indulge. Like snacks, if your desserts are healthy and eaten in controlled portions, enjoy them without the guilt!
