Shopping List
Here is a shopping list of healthful foods. It includes some brand names I know, but hundreds more are equally fine.

Together, they can order from wholesale distributors of natural foods, and buy foods in bulk or by the case." - Elizabeth Lipski, Digestive Wellness: How to Strengthen the Immune System and Prevent Disease Through Healthy Digestion (Get the book.)

Blend two cups of plain or sweetened soy milk with Vi cup of cashew butter; add two tablespoons of carob powder, a pinch of salt, and a dash of vanilla extract and nutmeg." - Gary Null, Get Healthy Now with Gary Null: A Complete Guide to Prevention, Treatment and Healthy living (Get the book.)

Low-carbohydrate diets are quite popular for weight loss these days, but there is a concern with excessive protein (and fats in some). Yet, there are healthy carbs (the complex starches and the high-fiber whole grains) and the fattening ones (the sugars and refined flour products)." - Elson M.

Protein Powders
The protein in these powders is often from soybeans, which means you should look for organic soy protein powder or if that is not available then look for non-GMO on the label. Non-GMO (Genetically Modified Organism) indicates that the product is not genetically engineered. If you tolerate dairy, whey powders are popular and widely available."
