• Avoid Trans fats.
• Use unsaturated vegtable oils such as olive or canola.
• Eat more vegetable protein, such as beans and nuts, and less animal protein.
• Choose whole-grain sources of carbohydrates.
• Drank a glass of whole milk or have a small dish of ice cream or full fat yougart. (???)
• Take a multivitamin that contains folic acid and other B vitamins.
• Get plenty of iron but not from red meat.
• Avoid sugary sodas. Coffee, tea and alchohol (?) are okay in moderation.
• If overweight lose 5 to 10% of total body weight.

Let me know what your thoughts are and if anyone has purchased this book.. I don't want to waste my money if it is off base.
