hi I'm Robin OpenShot I'm the green
smoothie girl and today we're talking
about seven principles of what is the
perfect diet the perfect diet of course
isn't something we can apply to everyone
it depends on you surely as much
diversity as we have in every other
aspect of life there can't be a
one-size-fits-all when it comes to diet
however it seems like there's some good
basic guidelines as well as some guiding
principles so these are the seven
principles to the perfect diet for you
number one it feels abundant it doesn't
feel like deprivation so start asking
yourself the question how can I eat
Whole Foods unprocessed foods and still
enjoy my diet it's okay to ask that
question make a list of the Greens
veggies fruits legumes nuts and seeds
whole grains that you like keep a file
on recipes that you like number two a
perfect diet it's gonna be all Whole
Foods there's no perfect diet that
involves processed foods you eat them
fine but it's not part of a perfect diet
number three it involves eating animals
and their byproducts only if that feels
important to you and if you do make sure
those products are clean they are
organic free-range wild cut number for
your perfect diet should be something
you can afford number five your perfect
diet it should be sustainable you're not
going to do it if it feels like a diet
number six when you eat it you feel high
energy not talking about stimulant
energy so having stimulants like coffee
and you know energy drinks in your diet
is not what I'm talking about when it's
they're not part of a perfect diet but
I'm talking about calm peaceful energy
that you get from eating really
nutritious foods that your body responds
to and last number seven principles of a
perfect diet it contains a lot of raw
plant food enzymes are good for everyone
some people in Ayurvedic stalk about
this a lot need a lot of hot food I
personally don't I'm perfectly happy
eating raw food even in the winter and I
live in a really cold place but I
believe it applies to everyone that
easily digested high enzyme living foods
are good for everyone it doesn't have to
be a hundred percent of your diet
probably not
and there are now enough raw fooders for
a few decades to show some of the
problems and deficits of being a purist
about that the perfect diet for me
involves lots of greens green juice
green smoothies are literally the main
food that I eat every day the perfect
diet for me is a 60 to 80% raw at every
meal and very very heavily plant-based
so well the perfect diet might be
different for you than for me I hope
that these are some principles I think
are a ubiquitous I think that research
bears them out I think that we can all
have a very different diet with some
basic guiding principles I'm Robin
