The Four Lists<\/h3>\n
The lists have to do with the frequency of consumption of different foods, as outlined below.<\/p>\n
Daily<\/strong><\/p>\n At least three times a week<\/strong><\/p>\n At most once a week<\/strong><\/p>\n Never<\/strong><\/p>\n The idea is to maximize nutrients in the food being consumed and eliminate stuff that isn’t at all healthy.<\/p>\n Another rule that doesn’t quite fit into the list concept is to eat breakfast daily, and Brown says he likes to eat (or rather drink) something purple in the morning. Purple indicates the presence of the antioxidant chemicals known as anthocyanins.<\/p>\n In particular he likes breakfast smoothies<\/a>, which he makes with purple juice (such as pomegranate, Concord grape of a\u00b8ai) as well as low-fat, enriched soy milk. For solids he uses blue or blackberries, strawberries, something orange or yellow and bananas, all frozen.<\/p>\n Because he’s such a geek, he wants a smoothie that weighs 24 ounces, so he uses four ounces by weight of each ingredient.<\/p>\n One food Brown is rarely without is canned, smoked sardines, which he says are both tasty and full of omega-3 fatty acids. He eats them straight out of the can, with a bit of the olive oil they’re packed in drained off, and he eats them with chopsticks, to encourage slower and more mindful eating.<\/p>\n If you don’t like the thought of eating the little fish straight out of the can (or at all) he also offers a recipe for sardine toasts<\/a>, using marinated fish and mashed avocado.<\/p>\n Brown also notes that it’s actually a good idea to snack through the day, as that keeps the metabolism going. This is where he gets his daily supply of nuts, in the form of spicy ginger almonds<\/a> oven roasted with ginger, sesame oil and dried chili, among other goodies.<\/p>\n He keeps his nuts in one-ounce portions and only eats a couple of servings a day.<\/p>\n (By Sarah E.
