An Italian friend of mine has a bistrot in Alsace and makes the most delicious organic ice-creams I have ever eaten: fior di latte, almonds, dark chocolate...
It would leave one of our spiny members licking his lips for weeks...

Let's see, i would add...
Yerba Maté tea: this is South American, they drink it by the gallon and it aids digestion and weight loss as well as having a lovely chewy flavour
Almonds: the least fatty and carbohydrate rich of the nuts, its healthy and delicious especially when blanched and roasted
Eggs for breakfast: another weight loss tip, eating 30g of protein within 30 min of getting up puts your digestive system into weight loss mode, and eggs are a great way to do this
I'm also a fan of avocado, postelijn (not sure if you can get that outside of this corner of Europe), spinach, red beets, dark chocolate.
And moderation, it's well known that people who eat in moderation live longer and more healthy lives. Still working on this one, sometimes I succeed and sometimes not!

I come from Argentina so, yes, we drink plenty of yerba mate...
Matcha green tea is the beverage with the highest coffeine content, @mMirco, yet is chock full with antioxidants and minerals.
As is yerba mate
Mate is not an intoxicant, just a beverage.
A person drinking tea all day -as many English friends do- will end up with the same amount of coffeine in their bodies as someone drinking from the mate gourd, @thickpaper

I was talking from a point of view of Buddhism. It is an intoxicant in that sense, like coffeee and tea.

Sorry, file deleted. Please either present it in acceptable form (I tried opening it - the file is 'incompatible') or let me know how big it is....as long as it is not commercial.

Very interesting about the breakfast tip. However, 30 g of protein is quite a lot, more than just 2 or 3 eggs. What do you do for the rest of the 30 grams?
Yeah you'd need like 4-5 eggs to get 30g of protein. You can always add some cheese to them. One of my favorites is poached eggs in little (oh they have a special name i can't recall) ceramic dishes. I put some spinach in the bottom, then the egg, then sprinkle some cheese on top and cook them in the pressure cooker. Or poached eggs over asparagus. YUM.
That said, what is healing for one can be not so good for someone else. Which is why blanket suggestions of "this is the best diet plan ever!" never work for everyone. Also why one study will show coffee/eggs/chocolate/wine are good for us but another shows the opposite. A lot of it just has to do with individual makeup. It's on each of us to find out what works and what doesn't for our bodies.

The "weed"? Interesting, I will have to look into that. Is it the leaves you eat? Or the whole plant? It grows like crazy here, and we are forever pulling it from our driveway cement cracks.

Cockneys leave the bleedin' tea bag in and get over-stimerlated.
A couple of years ago, I decided to replace butter for vegan almond and cashew spreads.
They are extremely yummy and one cuts down at least 200 calories from one's breakfast.

That's a lot of butter you are replacing though... I was surprised and had to take a look, weight for weight their calorie values aren't that different, according to thecaloriecounter.com, about 36 cals per 5g serving for butter and 33 cals for almond butter.

I calculated it per 100 gr: butter has about 800 calories, while vegan spreads have 608 tops

I haven't eaten ice-cream for a couple of months but expect to fall off the wagon again soon.

I love Yerba Mate and have been drinking it for many years - about to have a cup now. I guess like coffee technically it is an intoxicant!
How about Damianna? I drink that too. Yum Yum.

Oh well, I'd have to be a farmer to afford that many tomatoes!
