+1 to gary's response re whole, fresh, ripe, raw, organic plants.

Aim for the 5/5/5 rule: meal consisting of no more than 5 ingredients, costing no more than 5 bucks, and taking no more than 5 minutes to prepare . . . eventually getting it down to 4/4/4, 3/3/3, 2/2/2 and ultimately 1/1/1 (peel 10 bananas or 10 oranges or whatever and eat!). (from Making Peace With Your Food)

"80/10/10 works out easily and naturally if your calories break down approximately as follows: 90 to 97% from sweet and nonsweet fruits; 2 to 6% from tender, leafy greens and celery; 0 to 8% from everything else (other vegetables like cabbage and broccoli, plus fatty fruits, nuts, and seeds). You can generally accomplish this with two or three large fruit meals during the day, plus a large salad in the evening. Fruit predominates heavily, yet you consume as many greens as you like." The 80-10-10 Diet, p. 166

"You are not following 80/10/10 if less than 2% of your total calories come from vegetables and leafy greens . . . your caloric intake is insufficient to maintain your desired body weight . . . you burn less than 40% of your total calories through physical activity . . . your habitual sleep pattern doesn't meet your body's needs . . . you eat all day long rather than one to four meals a day . . . you lack emotional poise . . . you expose your fully (or substantially) unclothed skin to moderate sunlight less than 30 minutes per day . . . ." The 80-10-10 Diet, p.239

Hope that helps, Joe. Let me know if us know if you need anything further.
