Nothing white to eat diet
I also swore off white flour, sugar, and dairy to see if this shift in diet might help with my feelings of fatigue and generally blah-ness. The only exceptions to the no-white rule are cauliflower, egg whites, parsnips, milk, white fish and white poultry meat. While I was no means perfect in adhering to it, I did notice an improvement. It was even in the organic whole wheat bread we had been buying. Lunch could be a brown rice or wheat berry salad containing chopped vegetables and herbs and dressed with an olive oil-based vinaigrette. My exceptions were butter (because really, life is too short to go without) and dark chocolate (because it is good for you). Aspects A person just beginning the Eat Nothing White diet is instructed to completely eliminate the following foods from her diet: white rice, white potatoes, white beans, white sugar and any product made with refined sugar and white flour products like white bread or pasta. Also, I spent less money and less time at Starbucks by ordering a small black coffee instead of my triple-shot latte with whole milk. Dieters are encouraged to have a morning and afternoon snack. A dieter should replace the restricted foods in his meals with brown rice, whole-wheat pasta and bread and a wide variety of colorful fruits and vegetables.
Jon Ebbert praise many aspects of diets that eliminate white foods, though some dieters may find the plan too difficult to stay on long term. Sample Daily Menu A typical day on the Eat Nothing White diet might begin with a breakfast of egg whites scrambled with spinach or tomatoes and served with dry whole-grain toast, or a whole-grain cereal like muesli, non-fat milk, berries and almonds. Earlier this year, my mom pledged to adopt the nothing white diet, as in no white food. Proponents of the diet say that the majority of white foods contain a high concentration of simple carbohydrates that cause your blood sugar to spike, then drop, causing you to overeat and gain weight. Immediately, I felt less sluggish and lost five pounds. Cutting out sugar also means cutting out almost all beverages other than water, tea, and coffee. The Eat Nothing White diet goes by a number of other names, including the No White Foods diet and the No White at Night diet. All are based on the same principle -- the key to losing weight is to stop eating a specific list of white foods. I was doing pretty well so long as I was cooking all my own meals—but extensive traveling put an end to that. No White Foods diet followers are also told to avoid using solid fats that are white without artificial coloring added, such as cheddar cheese or butter.
