What is a good balance for carbs and protein in a healthy diet?
Lisa asked:
I’m trying to establish a healthy diet to follow. I don’t want to follow any fancy plan but I want to make sure it’s balanced. What is a good ratio for carbs and protein in a diet? Right now for every protein I eat I seem to eat 2 carbs.

This is a complex topic. Please read “Eat More, Weigh Less” by Dr. Dean Ornish. Go to the library and borrow the book.
My personal choice is to avoid junk food and eat raw whole foods as much as possible. That means leafy green vegetables, other vegetables, fruits, sprouted beans, brown rice, and whole grains. Eat some vegetarian sources of oil (these are required), but don’t over do it. You do not need to eat dairy or meat for a healthy diet if you eat a balanced vegetarian diet. If you do eat them, do it in limited quantities.
Most degenerative diseases are from over consumption of protein and fat rich foods. Avoid convenience and packaged foods because they contain excitotoxins, colorings, preservatives, and other additives that may or may not have been tested. MSG and aspartame should be avoided.
Instead of commercial drinks, make your own green smoothies with lemon, kale, mint, spinach, bananas, and other fruits and vegetables in a good blender.
