Though not a true cereal but a fruit, buckwheat seeds resemble cereal grains and are often used in a similar way to rice, barley, bulgar or quinoa, usually as a side dish.
I am a huge fan of quinoa, not only for its health benefits but because it tastes the best out of all the grains.
I happen to love edamame.
Pineapple definitely one of my essential fruits, everyday.
I've been getting into drinking smoothies in the morning - I like those a lot.
Try a recipe that uses leafy vegetables like kale, or switch to filling, high fiber grains like whole-wheat pasta.
Swiss chard is undervalued in Britain. It's a great substitute for spinach and keeps its shape well.
Like brown rice, black rice is unmilled, and it is the dark outer husk that makes it so nutty and chewy. It's also why it takes longer to cook than many other rices.
Walnuts are so rich. I also love that you can chew them for five minutes. Then I eat a couple of golden raisins as a palate cleanser because they are really tart, and then more walnuts. It's a great snack for me.
I love quinoa. It's great, it cooks like rice and is better than caviar.
Dried fruit is a huge part of my diet. Mango, persimmon, banana.
Dates are great because they're a high-energy fruit with a lot of fiber.
Amaranth, the world's most nutritious grain, is available from health food stores.
When you eat foods high in fiber, you feel full faster, making you less likely to overeat and more likely to have weight loss.
For breakfast, I always have eggs - whole eggs. I think the fats are really important. I also like turkey bacon and really hearty whole-grain bread. I'm very picky about it. You need bread that's high in fiber and low in carbs. It's hard to find, but it's worth it.
When I eat oatmeal, I'm hungry by 10 A.M., but pho is a great way to start the day.
I cannot get enough farro.
While traveling, I love granola bars, trail mix nuts, dry cereal and fruit for on-the-go snacks. I also try and start the day with a high fiber and protein meal, such as whole-grain toast with peanut butter.
One of the benefits of eating salad is that you can eat tons of it and never be satisfied.
