No white flour, pasta. The closer something is to being unprocessed, the better. It ends up being a high-protein diet, kind of by default. Fats are okay, so long as they are with proteins. Raw vegetables are okay. Kind of like a Zone diet or South Beach diet. Except you eat small amounts all through the day.
