How to do the shopping for the colorful diet
"When shopping, the sex of the individual must be taken into account. Women must consume three foods from each group for breakfast, lunch and dinner (3 + 3 + 3), that is, three foods from the red group, three from the yellow group and three of the brown ones, while in men you have to add one more ration (4 + 4 + 4). The green or vegetable group is freely consumed in quantity for both sexes ".
