Patrick says everything in your body and brain, without exception, is made from what you eat and drink. Patrick shared many of his health secrets in the book, including his grocery list:
So what does a nutritionist’s grocery list look like?
Fresh, low glycemic load (GL) fruits (preferably organic): apples, pears, plums, apricots, berries.
Fresh or frozen mixed berries. Berries have a very low GL and are full of bioflavonoids. Frozen berries are a convenient way to include them in your diet all year round.
Fresh vegetables (preferably organic): lettuce, rocket, watercress and spinach; cherry tomatoes; cucumber; spring onions; alfalfa sprouts or cress; courgettes; red onions; shallots; mushrooms; broccoli; cabbage; aubergine; peppers.
Garlic, ginger
Oat milk, oat cakes and oat flakes
Kamut pasta (this is an ancient form of wheat).
Almonds, pecans and chia seeds
Dark chocolate
Fresh fish
Rooibos chai tea
Organic wine
Limes and lemons
Extra tip: If you don’t consume dairy products, you must include seeds, nuts and beans on a regular basis.
