It is convenient to place whole grains, such as brown and wild rice, quinoa, millet, and whole wheat in this category too, but keep in mind that the colorful, high-starch vegetables such as carrots and sweet potato are higher in nutrients compared to the grains. 2) Nuts, Seeds, and Avocado High-fat plant foods are high in the essential fatty acids that your body needs." - Dr. Joel Fuhrman, Eat For Health: lose weight, Keep It Off, Look Younger, Live Longer (2 book set) (Get the book.)

For those of you who are thin and want to gain weight or need more calories to fuel your high athletic efforts, more of these higher-fat, higher-calorie nuts and seeds can be used in your diet to meet your higher caloric needs.

Muscle weighs more than fat, so if you increase the amount of muscle you have, your weight may remain the same or increase slightly. For this reason, we recommend that you forego the scale and periodically check your waist size with a cloth tape measure." - Jack Challem, Stop Prediabetes Now: The Ultimate Plan to lose weight and Prevent Diabetes (Get the book.)

Usually people have all twenty-six that we check for." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)
