This is the Mind diet
MIND diet checklist. Goal is15 points. 15 checks.

10 brain-boosting foods. Include these:
Daily:
□ Whole grains – at least 3 servings per day (1 serving = 1/2 cup cooked whole grains like oatmeal or brown rice, 1 slice of bread, etc.)
□ Vegetables – 1 serving daily (1 serving = 1/2 cup)
□ Leafy greens – 6 servings weekly (1 serving = 1 cup raw or 1/2 cup cooked)
□ Wine – 1 glass per day (1 glass = 5 ounces)

Most Days:
□ Nuts – 5 servings weekly (1 serving = 1/4 cup)
□ Olive oil as the main source of fat

Twice a Week (or More):
□ Beans – 3 servings per week (1 serving = 1/2 cup cooked)
□ Poultry, not fried – 2 servings a week (1 serving = 3 ounces cooked or the size of a deck of cards)
□ Berries, like blueberries and strawberries – at least 2 servings a week (1 serving = 1/2 cup)

Once a week:
□ Fish, not fried – at least 1 serving a week (1 serving = 3 ounces cooked)

5 brain-harming foods. Limit these:
□ Butter – less than 1 tablespoon per day (1 serving = 1 tablespoon)
□ Fried fast food – less than 1 serving per week (1 serving = 1 medium serving of French fries)
□ Full-fat cheese – less than 1 serving per week (1 serving = 1 ounce, approximately the size of your thumb or 2 tablespoons shredded)
□ Red meat – less than 4 servings per week (1 serving = 3 ounces cooked)
□ Pastries and sweets – less than 5 servings per week (1 serving = 1/2 cup ice cream, 1 doughnut, 1/8 slice of pie

#####Likely I will eat NO redmeat or butter but Iguess the brain harming foods can go along with the bonus weekly points WW has.

I am hoping that point experts can look at the 10 brain boosting foods that I WILL follow, on a daily weekly and estimate for me HOW MANY POINTS does that eat up in a day?

So I can know how many points would be left for regular daily to round it out.

This will determine whether I am joining WW this coming week. I am very inexperienced so I need help making a weight losing diet with the Mind Diet parameters.

So thank you thank you in advance!


ps I forgot to put the or??? Would be better off with an exhange diet, or something different still?

pps forgot to say that from reading the web Id be 30 points daily.

Thank you

That is complicated. Most non-starchy vegetables are zero points as are the berries. Just eyeballing it I would think you could fit that into a WW points allowance of 30 points a day. A lot of it depends on how it is prepared and the size of the serving. I'm not sure about the alcohol since I don't drink. I do eat a serving of nuts everyday and I mostly use olive oil when I cook. But, just too broad a question to be able to answer.

Thank you for the response.
Spose I should do it by calories and forget about WW.

I think you could do it by either. I actually both count calories and WW points.
