Rainbow Diet Guide For Novice: Rainbow diet is a healthy diet program which insists on consumption of fruits and vegetables of all the seven colors Florence J Martin

The basis of this diet is to get 10 or more servings of fruits and vegetables daily. In addition, you will need a moderate amount of protein (animal or plant-based), and a minimal amount of healthy fats (such as avocados, olives, olive oil, coconut oil, nuts and seeds, salmon, etc.) I don't believe that grains are a necessary part of a healthful diet, especially if you are eating animal-based protein or if you are overweight. However, if you prefer to add grains to your diet, whole unrefined, high-fiber grains are the best option, and preferably gluten-free. In general, most people are going to be much better off eating at least twice as many vegetables as fruits. Fruits have high sugar content and many people already have blood-sugar issues. Thus, I generally recommend 6 to 8 daily servings of vegetables and just 2 to 4 servings of fruit. However, this ratio will vary from person to person, based on your health condition, climate, culture and activity levels. A serving size is equivalent to 1/2 cup of raw finger vegetables, 1/2 cup cooked vegetables, 1 cup of leafy green vegetables (raw or steamed), 1 medium fruit, or 1/2 cup of small fruit (such as berries) or 1/2 cup of cut-up fruit.
