So over the next few weeks there will be alot of changes going on not only in your diet but the decisions you make in regards to where the sources in your diet come from can make a huge impact in the results you get and of course the healthier vs. sicker approach to nutrition. I took a few pictures today when I was grocery shopping @ one of the local Okinawan Grocery stores; SAN-A (the sign is yellow with 3 red A's). Hope this helps in your informed decision making about not only what to eat but where to get it from.
Fruits and Veggies
Okinawan Pear (nashi)
Cucumbers!!
Spinach
Pumpkin (Kabocha)its a little starchy but a great substitute for french fries
Bean Sprouts!! Yes you can eat them.. once the bean sprouts the lectins dissipate
Meats
Bacon!! Uncured, unsalted and if you grab the one with this label that means it was raised right here in okinawa and about as close to naturally raised as you can get
Grassfed beef from New Zealand!
Yes we sell Grass Fed Beef but that doesn't mean your choices should be limited
Locally raised Chickens, Just look for the little guy doing the chicken dance. Beware if it doesn't have that little guy it could be from the U.S.
FISH
The salmon is shipped in but a lot of the Tuna is caught right here in Japan!
Oils
They have lots of variety when it comes to Olive Oils
Sesame oils taster pretty good too
Avocado Oil, this stuff is expensive but has a great flavor to it
On The Go!!! Using the healthier sicker methodology here is are some pretty safe choices when you just don't have time to cook
Liver and green Onions
Baked Chicken
Carrots and green beans
Seaweed and Beans... yes there are beans in there but we are talking best choices in a bad situation, if you really want to keep it clean just take the beans out
