Lots of different info out there about nutrition for your brain.

Just thought I'd share and seek other ideas of what we should be eating. Please feel free to correct my choices if I'm misinformed.

In the past 9 months since husbands heart attack we changed our diets and began exercising regularly, but then 4 months ago with my head injury life changed again. Since injury I've since lost even more weight without really trying and no exercise.

I used to eat whatever I wanted. And I weighed over 200 lbs in those days. (Like in my avatar pic when my son was just wee!) Yikes. I never want to go back there!

Now I avoid sugar when possible (I am careful, it's lurking in SO many prepared foods that grocery shelves are a nightmare!) and I avoid artificial sweeteners except for Xylitol and Stevia. I eat only the good fats like walnuts (my new snack of choice) and raw almonds. I avoid sodium as much as possible too.

So my top regularly eaten foods are:

• Grilled salmon
• Roasted chicken
• Roasted pork
• Whole eggs
• Blueberries
• Raspberries
• Whole grains (and some sprouted grain bread, so much better)
• Walnuts
• Raw Almonds
• Spinach
• Bananas
• Low fat Greek yogurt with raw honey (and blueberries! So good)
• Drink lots of water (pretty much all I ever drink)

My indulgences are:

• Dark chocolate
• Decaf coffee with fat free (yeah, sugary) flavoured creamer
• Baked lentil chips with low fat tzaziki
• Beanito chips (non GMO, no corn, hi fibre black bean chips!)
• Freshly baked chocolate chip cookies (when my son and I bake, diet schmiet, it's butter and sugar time, in moderation!)

For a sweetener if I need it, I use Xylitol or Stevia sparingly, in decaf tea.

I never drink soda anymore, nor water flavouring. Even tho water is boring.

So what's missing? Any critiques? Glaring mistakes? What do you eat for brain food?
