    To keep your digestive system healthy, avoid eating the following as much as possible:
    • Food products (no trans fats, partially hydrogenated oils, high-fructose corn syrup, dyes)
    • Foods with ingredients you cannot define
    • Completely ready-to-eat meals from poor-quality ingredients, preservatives
    • Same thing every day
    • Fruit products, including juices
    • Animal proteins exclusively as a way to avoid carbs (quality carbs are an essential part of any healthy nutritional plan)
    • More animal protein or fat to feel full
    • One color or colorless meals
    • Vegetables without color (e.g., iceberg lettuce, white potatoes)
    • Canned, dried, and processed conventional fruits and vegetables
    • Refined grains (flours, white bread, crackers, etc.) or flour-based carbohydrates at every meal
    • Wheat every time you want a grain
    • Chemicals
    • Nutrient-poor, high-calorie, or artificially sweetened beverages
    • Foods hidden beneath sauces of unknown origin
