If you like cheese:
Remember — heat-treated cheese damages fat contained in cheese. Use it in moderation. Aged cheeses are damaged in fat. Choose white or yellow.
Best cheeses are:
Cottage, cream, feta, goat, mozzarella, muenster, ricotta (whole milk). Stay away from the rest. Eat only one time per month.
Fish and Shell Fish
Never: Tuna, sword fish, mahi mahi
Good: Alaskan salmon, sole, mackerel, sardines
Make sure you eat fresh fish, not canned.
Smoked fish may contain nitrates. Most fish are heavy in mercury. Fish is a good source of protein.
If vegetarian, stay away from all meats.
The average person needs 60–70 grams of protein per day. If you exercise and want to firm up your muscles, you need to have 75–85 grams per day.
The body will shut itself off when eating fats and proteins in excess. Protein is necessary for bones, hair, nails, skin, muscles, hormones, and neurotransmitters.
All protein should be cooked at low, even temperature to avoid damaging fats.

A healthy note for all
Good fats are: saturated, monounsaturated, polyunsaturated. These fats metabolize slowly to sugar, therefore, insulin levels are kept down. You will also notice with ingestion of good fats, cholesterol will lower, blood pressure will drop, and you will lose body fat over time.
Remember: Body cannot process damaged oils. Heat damages oils. Always use pure pressed oil.
