First and foremost, I eat as little premade foods as possible. I make almost everything I eat. Avoid refined white flour, corn syrup, preservatives and anything you cannot pronounce in food. Avoid high cholesterol foods (at least for me).

I try to eat as much fruit and veggies as possible. I eat just small amounts of meat, less than 3 oz/day as much as I'd like to eat more.

Look into superfoods - nuts, berries, vinegar, beets, etc.

All that said, I love bread/pasta, so I try to consume in small quantities.

As far as staples that I eat a lot of: onions, garlic, hummus, veggie juices, egg substtute, cilantro and spices, lentils, wheat berries, sliced ham and roast beef (Boar's Head no preservatives). Lots of fruit.

I know, not very exciting. I don't eat out much as frankly, I can cook better than most restaurants. I've had to cut back by 95% cholesterol, so butter, eggs, and cheese/meat were scaled way back.

Hope that helps.
