I forgot to mention onions. Onions have as many carbs as an apple. Again, onions and root vegetables are an option on HCG 2.0, but since they are higher on carbs you will not be allowed to eat as much.

Swimming Your Way To A More Fit You
If you have never given nutrition a second thought, the idea of taking your nutrition in hand may be a bit daunting. There is no doubt that the risk of being overwhelmed with information is large, given the complexity of the subject. Here you will find a few tips to help you sort out this information and begin eating better.
Eating fresh fruits and veggies daily is good nutrition advice. Nine to thirteen servings of fruits and vegetables daily are recommended by the USDA. That sounds excessive, but it can be done with some creative thinking. Orange juice at breakfast counts as a serving.
It is vital to consume protein daily. Proteins help build muscles and promote healthy function of internal organs. In addition, they boost your metabolism and assist with your cell processes. Proteins are important to your body’s immune system. Some healthy foods that have an excellent amount of protein are fish, tofu, poultry, and legumes.
Try packing your own work or school meals. A meal you prepare in advance is almost always healthier than something you get from a restaurant or a vending machine. It only takes 10 minutes or so to get a few meals prepared.
Instead of using ground beef, try using ground turkey breast. This will reduce the fat and total calories you are ingesting. Pick ground turkey breasts since dark meat is similar to ground beef in terms of nutrition. Ground turkey that is a mix of light and dark has less nutritional value than just white meat.
Have you been attempting to decrease your red meat consumption? Consider using meat as a side dish or condiment instead of a main dish. Instead of making meat the main dish, incorporate it into meals based on vegetables and healthy grains. This is a common practice in Mediterranean countries and in China and this reduces risks of developing heart diseases.
The advice you have just been given will allow you to have your nutrition information organized in your mind. Feel free to revisit this article whenever you find yourself in need of a pep talk or new idea. Best of luck to you!
