The first goal of the Bene Victus diet (from the Latin bene victus meaning healthy food) is to recommend a diet that promotes a long and healthy life by recommending foods with a high ratio of fiber and nutrients (such as vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and phytochemicals) relative to calories.

Most people know the basic rules of a healthy diet: Eat mostly plant foods: vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes and unsalted nuts. Limit red meat, alcohol and salty foods. Avoid highly processed, energy-dense foods high in sugar, starch or fat, such as fried chicken, burgers and fries, processed meats, pizza, cakes, pastry and cookies, candy and sugary soft drinks. In short, eat a diet of foods that your great grandmother would recognize, not the factory-made foods that often make up much of the modern diet.

The Bene Victus diet recommends specific whole foods that can be eaten at home on a daily basis and that can be varied with a wide variety of other whole foods. The diet need not be slavishly followed when eating out occasionally at restaurants or other places. The idea of the Bene Victus diet is to provide healthy, satisfying, inexpensive and, above all, very quick-and-easy-to-prepare meals.

Meat and dairy products are not recommended as part of the regular Bene Victus diet but are not prohibited when eating out or for those who wish to add them to their diet occasionally.

The diet avoids foods made of refined flour, oil, sugar and salt in favor of whole foods, primarily grains, fruits, vegetables, legumes and nuts. Some of the recommended foods include tea, oatmeal with cinnamon, flax seed and raisins, walnuts, rice, lentils, corn, popcorn and a wide variety of vegetables and fruits.
