Question by Reed: Can anyone recommend a whole food diet plan?
My goal is not to lose weight. I would actually rather gain or stay the same. Im considered healthy as far as weight/height ratio. The problem with finding a good diet is that most of them target weight loss. What I am looking to do is eat alot healthier. Limit animal products, or at least eat healthier products, but ultimately switch to a whole food plant diet. My goal is to feel more energetic, reverse what i have already done to my body with poor diet, and prevent future sickness and health problems. I believe i have a pretty fast metabolism and find it difficult to gain weight. It is way easier to lose for me. I weigh 140 and am around 5’9″, 20 years old. Thanks for any and all help!

Whole foods refer to unprocessed products, such as whole grains, fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts and seeds. Some whole food diets may include meats, poultry and fish, but only lean meats and poultry with all the fat removed or reduced-fat meats. You try to control the intake of refined sugars or flour. Whole grains work effectively in a whole food diet because they are unrefined and therefore contain better sources of fiber and nutrients.
Whole-grain foods include whole-wheat or multigrain bread, whole-grain cereal, whole-grain pasta, oatmeal, brown rice, cracked wheat, buckwheat, barley and air-popped popcorn. Whole grains keep their rich supply of minerals, including selenium, potassium and magnesium. Selenium contains antioxidant properties to protect against cell damage. Potassium aids heart, muscle, nerve and digestive functioning. Magnesium supports the immune system and normalizes blood pressure.
