I always get the question “So Dr. Joe, what can I eat?” Here is a list I’ve compiled of all the guilt-free foods you can enjoy without hesitation, even if you’re trying to lose weight!” Once people hear Dr. Joe’s 7 deadly sins of nutrition (alcohol, meat, sugar, dairy, coffee, soda, artificial sweetener) they always say either “so what can I eat” or “that’s my entire diet”. We decided to compile a list of “free foods” you can eat without guilt even if you’re on a weight loss journey! Keep in mind organic is always better when it comes to any type of food, but I do understand with budgets it’s not always the most cost-friendly option, here’s a list of the clean 15 and dirty dozen! If you don’t know what that is, the clean 15 is a list of foods that are okay to eat non-organic and the dirty dozen are foods that should ALWAYS be organic! Bean and Legumes Beans (refried- fat-free-canned) Beans (adzuki, black, fava, butter, cannellini, cranberry, green, garbanzo, great northern, kidney, lima, lupini, mung, navy, pink, small white, snap, soy, string, wax, white Edamame Lentils Mung Dal Salad, three-bean Succotash Condiments Lemon zest Lime zest Pico de gallo Pumpkin puree Salsa Sauerkraut Tomato puree Tomato sauce Proteins Egg substitutes Organic Tofu Fruits Apples Apricots Banana Beets Blackberries Blueberries Cherries Cantaloupe Clementines Cranberries Figs Guava Grapes Grapefruit Kumquats Melon Honeydew Jackfruit Kiwi Lemon Line Litchis Mangoes Nectarine Oranges Papaya Passion Fruit Peaches Pears Persimmons Pineapple Plumcots Plums Pomegranate seeds Pomegranate Pomelo Pumpkin Raspberries Starfruit Strawberries Tangelo Tangerine Watermelon Vegetables Arrowroot Artichoke Hearts Arugula Artichokes Bamboo shoot Beets Broccoli Broccoli rabe Broccoli slaw Broccolini Brussels sprouts Bok choy Cabbage Carrots Cauliflower Celery Corn (baby, white, yellow, kernels, on the cob) Collards Coleslaw mix Eggplant Escarole Endive Fennel Garlic Ginger root Greens: beet, collard, dandelion, kale, mustard, turnip Greens, mixed baby Hearts of palm Jerusalem artichoke (sunchoke) Jicama Kohlrabi Leeks Lettuce Mung bean sprouts Mushroom caps Mushrooms (all varieties) Okra Onions Parsley Pea shoots Peapods Peas and carrots Peas (black-eyed peas, crowder, southern, young pods with seeds, green, pigeon, snow (Chinese pea pods); split, sugar snap) Peppers Pepperoncini Pickles Pimientos Radishes Radicchio Rutabagas Salad, mixed greens Salad, without dressing Scallions Seaweed/ Nori seaweed Shallots Spinach Sprouts Squash, summer (all varieties) Squash, winter(all varieties) Swiss chard Taro leaves and shoots Tomatoes, all varieties Turnips Vegetable sticks Vegetables, mixed Vegetables, stir fry, without sauce Water chestnuts Watercress
