If you need to look at our food from the perspective of three groups, I would suggest they have to be fruits and vegetables, grains and cereals, and meat, fish and dairy.  These three groups provide all the nutrients we need.

All fruits and veggies are good. Dark veggies have more nutrients than light veggies, ie: sweet potatoes are better than russet potatoes, spinach has more nutrients than lettuce, etc. Fruits are excellent. Citrus fruits contain Vitamin C, Bananas are a good source of potassium, Apples have Vitamin A. I can't think of an unhealthy fruit! Sport drinks should be drank in moderation. Water is best! Sport drinks contain a lot of sodium, which is good if you've been sweating a lot, but not just as a regular drink.

Try to eat half vegetables, half meat/fish or whatever. Take reasonable portions of food. Try reducing the amount slowly if you believe you eat too much. Let at least half of the plate be vegetables. Snack on fruit or vegetables. Drink water when thirsty, but don't over do it. Try not to add salt to the food. Avoid reward food like candy and such unless you really fought for it, and then in moderation. Decide first what the rewards is gonna be and stick by it.

Taking a multi-vitamin should be in addition to healthy eating. It helps you to get nutrients that you might not get in the foods you normally eat. \n\nIn order to get more veggies into your diet why not eat salads with your meals, slide extra veggies into your recipes and choose them for snacks.

I have 3 "main meals" each consisting of protein, starch, fruit or veg and dairy, \nA good snack will be 2 of the food groups.\nMorning snack could be a small yogurt and a fruit cup.\nFor my afternoon snack I have carrot sticks and low fat cheese.\nEat something every 2 or 3 hours, focusing on lots of veg and fruit, low fat dairy and whole grains.  \nWatch portion size.

It is always better to eat the veggie or fruit whole rather than the juice. The glucose enters the blood stream slower and you get the fiber which is one of the most important nutritional factors of food.\n\nJuice is fine occationally but it should never be a substatute for the whole food.

How about having fruit for  'starters' before every meal, or puree some vegetables into a drink and of course you could have soup. I have heard recently that people who have soup before a meal consume 30% less calories for each meal

I went 3-4 weeks on fruits and veggies and it did not hurt.\n\nBut I sure felt better when I got some fish and chicken added to the diet. Make sure you get 5 servings of fruits and veggies each day.\n\nA good way to eat fruit is by itself - as a snack.\nNOT as a dessert as the main meal takes a while to digest\nand fruit dissolves so quickly and will start to ferment - yuck!\n\nPS also did 9 days on a water fast - really cleaned some poisons out.
