Here are the key points to a Good Basic Diet

1. Shoot for 51-70% raw* each meal, depending on the time of year. Cold months should have more cooked food. And make seasonal produce a priority.
2. Sustainably-farmed or organic, and locally-grown when possible.
3. Animal food* from untainted sources. Wild-caught fish, and free-range eggs without additives (even Omega oils) are best animal proteins. Organic, free-range chicken and poultry is next; then grass-fed organic beef, bison, lamb, etc. Slow-cooked, whole bone-in meat stews (bone + joints + some fat) help nourish the bones and joints, too. No scavengers: pork, shellfish, snakes, critters, shark, swordfish, etc.
4. Very low organic dairy*: eggs, ghee, butter, yogurt, and cheese aged over 4 months;
5. All vegetables and moderate amounts of fruits*. Small amounts of natural sweeteners* like raw honey, maple syrup, blackstrap molasses, raw sugar, stevia, untainted dried fruits, depending on excess appetite issues.
6. Whole grains (+seeds) sprouted, cooked, steamed; occasional flour (ground just before baking). Avoid wheat*. Look for plant-based proteins* over animal-based, as they are easier to digest.
7. Raw, cold-pressed oils*, and raw nuts and seeds as 10-20% of daily calories.
8. A quantity of cultured/fermented foods: vegetables, cider vinegar, kefir water, miso.
9. Purified water*, 50-80 ounces per day; organic herb teas and green tea, kefir water.
10. Pure sun-dried (Celtic) sea salt*, organic spices, organic herbs– fresh and dried.
11. Prepared with peaceful, nourishing thoughts.
12. About Meals
13. Moderate breakfast
14. Larger lunch; lighter, more-vegetarian dinner; with a protein-containing snack between each.
15. Protein and vegetable at every main meal.
16. No meat after 6pm; no grains or vegetables after 7pm; no fruit after 9pm; no night eating.
17. Healthy eating requires healthy digestion, which requires healthy sleeping: 8 – 9 hours per night
18. Good exercise –stretching; cardio; muscle -resistance or weights.

For another third, they are helpful to eat lightly and occasionally, and for the other one third, they can actually accelerate aging and degeneration, and are best avoided. It is important to determine which of these groups you are in. Muscle testing is a good way to determine this. Doing the Elimination Diet is another way to see how your body responds to animal foods.
