But first, here are a few overall tips on interpreting some things that might confuse you. For instance, when you pick up a can of boiled tomatoes and see that the listed ingredients are simply tomatoes and salt, yet the standard chart reads four grams of sugar, you should realize that tomatoes are really a fruit and, as such, must have their fructose content listed as sugar. This does not mean you should avoid boiled tomatoes! Remember, natural fructose is a good source of sugar and is not bad for you unless it has been concentrated, as in high fructose corn syrup, or consumed in large quantities with other sugars or saturated fats during the same meal. The same goes for peanut butter, as long as there has been no sugar added.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Since cooking raises the glycemic index—or blood-sugar-elevating effect—of carbohydrates, you can understand why it is better to replace most canned carbohydrates (except for green leafy vegetables) with the fresh, dried, or frozen variety.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e When you prepare your dried beans, fresh vegetables, whole-grain pasta, or brown rice, do not overcook them. Instead, cook them al dente, or just a little bit firm. This will ensure a lower glycemic effect. Remember that your ancient ancestors actually ate their grains and vegetables completely raw—and obviously it worked just fine, otherwise we wouldn’t be here today!\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Finally, one last reminder so you will not have to count and measure: eat three platefuls a day with only appropriate snacks in between. A green salad on the side is all right. Do not cheat while you are trying to lose weight, but once you have achieved that goal, treat yourself occasionally to something that suits your fancy. But remember— too many treats will mean more fat on you!\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e The following lists will range from those containing some common brand names to simply a general statement, for example, that all unsweetened, no-sugar-added pickles are okay.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e FRESH PRODUCE\u003cbr\u003e DEPARTMENT\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e VEGETABLES\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Artichokes\u003cbr\u003e Arugula\u003cbr\u003e Asparagus\u003cbr\u003e Bean sprouts\u003cbr\u003e Bell pepper (red and green)\u003cbr\u003e Bok choy\u003cbr\u003e Broccoli\u003cbr\u003e Brussels sprouts\u003cbr\u003e Cabbage\u003cbr\u003e Cauliflower\u003cbr\u003e Celery\u003cbr\u003e Cucumber\u003cbr\u003e Eggplant\u003cbr\u003e Endive\u003cbr\u003e Leeks\u003cbr\u003e Lettuce\u003cbr\u003e Mushrooms\u003cbr\u003e Mustard greens\u003cbr\u003e Okra\u003cbr\u003e Onion—white, red, yellow\u003cbr\u003e Peas\u003cbr\u003e Pumpkin\u003cbr\u003e Radicchio\u003cbr\u003e Radishes\u003cbr\u003e Sauerkraut\u003cbr\u003e Snow peas\u003cbr\u003e Spinach\u003cbr\u003e Squash—yellow, butternut, spaghetti, acorn\u003cbr\u003e String beans\u003cbr\u003e Sweet potatoes\/yams (in moderation)\u003cbr\u003e Tofu\u003cbr\u003e Tomatoes\u003cbr\u003e Turnip greens\u003cbr\u003e Watercress\u003cbr\u003e Zucchini\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e UNACCEPTABLE\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Beets\u003cbr\u003e Corn\u003cbr\u003e Parsnips\u003cbr\u003e Red or white potatoes\u003cbr\u003e Turnips\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e FRUITS\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Apples\u003cbr\u003e Apricots\u003cbr\u003e Avocados\u003cbr\u003e Blackberries\u003cbr\u003e Blueberries\u003cbr\u003e Boysenberries\u003cbr\u003e Canteloupe\u003cbr\u003e Cherries\u003cbr\u003e Dates\u003cbr\u003e Figs (fresh only)\u003cbr\u003e Grapefruits\u003cbr\u003e Grapes\u003cbr\u003e Honeydew melon\u003cbr\u003e Kiwis\u003cbr\u003e Lemons\u003cbr\u003e Limes\u003cbr\u003e Mandarin oranges\u003cbr\u003e Musk melons\u003cbr\u003e Nectarines\u003cbr\u003e Oranges\u003cbr\u003e Peaches\u003cbr\u003e Pears\u003cbr\u003e Persimmons\u003cbr\u003e Plums\u003cbr\u003e Pomegranates\u003cbr\u003e Raspberries\u003cbr\u003e Satsumas\u003cbr\u003e Strawberries\u003cbr\u003e Tangerines\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e UNACCEPTABLE\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Bananas (ripe)\u003cbr\u003e Pineapples\u003cbr\u003e Raisins\u003cbr\u003e Large servings of watermelon\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e MEAT DEPARTMENT\u003cbr\u003e \u0026amp;\u003cbr\u003e REFRIGERATED ITEMS\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Alligator\u003cbr\u003e Antelope\u003cbr\u003e Bacon (preferably not sugar cured)\u003cbr\u003e Beef (lean and trimmed)\u003cbr\u003e Canadian bacon\u003cbr\u003e Chicken\u003cbr\u003e Dove\u003cbr\u003e Duck\u003cbr\u003e Elk\u003cbr\u003e Goose\u003cbr\u003e Ham (if not sugar cured)\u003cbr\u003e Hamburger (preferably lean)\u003cbr\u003e Lamb\u003cbr\u003e Ostrich\u003cbr\u003e Partridge\u003cbr\u003e Pheasant\u003cbr\u003e Pork\u003cbr\u003e Quail\u003cbr\u003e Rabbit\u003cbr\u003e Turkey\u003cbr\u003e Veal\u003cbr\u003e Venison\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e UNACCEPTABLE\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Cuts of beef \u0026amp;
