What To Eat For Two And Three Meals

BREAKFAST:

“It is the custom and order of society to take a slight breakfast. But this is not the best way to treat the stomach. At breakfast time the stomach is in a better condition to take care of more food than at the second or third meal of the day. The habit of eating a sparing breakfast and a large dinner is wrong. Make your breakfast correspond more nearly to the heartiest meal of the day.” {CD 173.2}

• 3 servings of fresh fruit (fresh is best…canned or jarred fruit without sugar is okay)
• 1 Serving of Grain (1 whole grain Bread AND/OR 1 serving of whole grain (whole grain pancakes, waffles, hot or cold cereal, etc.)
• 2 Tablespoons of Seeds (RAW/NO SALT) (Pumpkin, Sesame, Flax, Sunflower, Sesame, Chia, etc.)
• OR
• Closed Fist full of Nuts (Raw and Unsalted may mix up...can substitute 1 Tbsp. Nut butter instead)
• EAT ALL RAW FOOD FIRST
• NO SECONDS

“Much tact and discretion should be employed in preparing nourishing food...a diet lacking in the proper elements of nutrition, brings reproach upon the cause of health reform…”  {TSDF 21.6}

“…Grains, fruits, nuts, and vegetables, in proper combination, contain all the elements of nutrition; and when properly prepared, they constitute the diet that best promotes both physical and mental strength…” {Ed 204.3}

GRAINS USED IN MAKING PORRIDGE OR MUSH SHOULD BE COOKED FOR SEVERAL HOURS:
“Grains used for porridge or “mush” should have several hours' cooking…”  {MH 301.4}

DO NOT EAT PORRIDGE EVERY DAY FOR BREAKFAST (Examples: Oatmeal, Wheateena, Cream of Wheat, etc.) (CD 108.1)

“…So much porridge eating is a mistake. The dry food that requires mastication is far preferable…”

“…But SOFT OR LIQUID FOODS ARE LESS WHOLESOME THAN DRY FOODS, which require thorough mastication…”  {MH 301.4}
