Bottomline - Balance and Plant Based

To obtain the most benefit from the diet I recommend people include a combination of both raw and cooked foods. More importantly we need to shift our meal patterns twoards those built around plant foods, as opposed to animal foods which can be high in saturated fat and cholesterol (for the non-vegans or non-vegetarians some l ow fat dairy products and small portions of lean meats and eggs can also be part of a healthful diet). In general at least 2/3 to 3/4 of our plate should be from plant foods with a mix of raw and cooked.
