GETTING STARTED

The pictures are of some of the things you haven't tried before. If you like spinach, you should also like Swiss chard and it will offer variety. Ghee is in place of butter because if you have a dairy intolerance (which we will find out) you can still use this for cooking along with coconut oil. You never want to cook with olive oil. I also included what Miso looks like and it is a paste that you use to make a quick soup with veggies in it. It is fermented soy so that's why you can use it. No other type of soy should be used, very toxic. So the grocery list looks like this for the week for just yourself:

Two types of greens, preferably a salad lettuce and then kale, spinach or Swiss chard that you can lightly steam.

1 can olives

2 avocados

broccoli

spaghetti squash/cauliflower (ground raw in food processor to make "rice")

1 lb. high quality ground beef (The Blue Mountain Beach store has this)

1 package turkey bacon (no nitrates, antibiotics, etc.)

1 chicken breast (hormone, antibiotic free) Any other vegetable that you like.

On the weekend or when you have time in the evening, steam greens all at once and store to use for the week.

Wash your lettuce, dry well and put in a bag with a paper towel to keep them fresh all week.

Steam the broccoli to use some for that's night meal and the rest to sprinkle over your salads at lunch.

Brown the ground meat with your favorite herbs, onion, garlic, whatever you like and use two ounces at a time either for dinner or over your salad.

Same with the chicken breast. Wait to cook it for a dinner and then save rest for over your greens.

Cook two strips of bacon for breakfast to put over greens, drizzled with coconut oil.

Add oil to everything, this is high quality fat that your body needs. You can use olive oil only on cold salads (do not cook) Use olives and 1/2 avocado to dress your greens for lunch or dinner.

Other ideas:

The ground meat can be mixed with tomato sauce (organic, no sugar) and served over spaghetti squash (steamed whole)

SUGAR CONTROL DIET

The following is a two-week diet, designed to help recalibrate your body’s sugar control circuits. It will increase your energy and vitality. Please follow it closely. It is not a healthy diet for all times, but it is beneficial for you during a trial period. As your condition improves, we will add other foods back into your diet. This way of eating does take a little planning, but is well worth the effort. Most people may also lose weight while on this diet without being hungry. Others, who need to gain weight, often find their weight will return to normal without undue effort. MAIN CHALLENGES: 6 feedings daily; plan ahead

PROTEINS: Each meal should include a minimum of 4-6 ounces of protein, but you can have as much as you desire. Meat, poultry, fish, eggs are unlimited, if no sensitivity exists.

VEGETABLES: Eat as much as you desire. You cannot eat too much. Focus on dark, leafy greens and a variety of colors. No potatoes, yams, or other starchy vegetables. ( ie: corn, peas, winter squash, cooked beets or carrots )

FRUITS: Careful here – only to be eaten between meals as a snack with nuts or seeds or a piece of cheese or a bite of plain, full fat yogurt. Leave the sweeter fruits such as bananas, mangos, persimmons, papayas, dried fruits, etc. alone. One or two small sized pieces of fruit per day is plenty. (apples, pears, peaches, plums, all berries)

GRAINS: No grain including breads, rolls, muffins, and pasta. No beans or legumes. No rice.

NUTS: Soaked or slow-roasted nuts make a great snack.

DAIRY: No dairy is allowed, unless approved by your practitioner.

FATS: No artificial or hydrogenated fats allowed, such as margarine or shortening.

SWEETENERS: No sweeteners of any kind. Stevia OK if no hyperinsulinemia ( high insulin levels) exists.

You must eat every two to three hours of the waking day. You need not eat a large volume of food at these meals – just a handful of nuts or a slice of cheese. Include a medium piece of fruit or some raw veggies if desired No processed or packaged foods allowed. Eat only those foods found in nature. Eat some raw vegetables every day unless otherwise advised.

Organic is best, but the most important thing is to avoid starches and potential intolerant foods. Avoid antibiotic-treated, hormonally-raised animal foods, and foods treated with pesticides and insecticides.

Gut Healing Foods

Homemade broths made from whole chicken, fish or beef bones. Preferably, let simmer overnight to leach all minerals from the bones. Simmer with onions, carrots, celery and favorite herbs. Make enough to be able to eat some everyday. Very healing to the intestinal tract.

Beets help stimulate the gallbladder. Cut up beats and place in a food processer with the “S” blade. Preferably get beets with the greens still on and use the entire beet with the stems up to the greens, in the food processor. The section of beet that connects the stalk to the beet is the most effective part for the gallbladder so clean well to remove dirt. Next add one small apple for each beet, adding right into the food processor. Use a splash of raw apple cider vinager to the mixture. Let the processor run until the contents are almost liquid. Use in between meals or as dessert.

Fermented Vegetables-Use cabbage and carrots either alone or combined. Use a food processor to pulverize the vegetables. Put in a stainless steel bowl with 2 TBS. celtic salt (or 1 TBS. salt and 4 TBS. whey if you have access to it). Do not use salts that have anti-caking agents in the ingredients. Pound vegetables (I use a pestle from my mortar and pestle set) until the liquid of the vegetable starts to come out. This takes around 10 minutes of beating. Place contents in a mason jar and fill until one inch below top. Tighten on lid and let sit at room temperature for three days. It can then be moved to a cool dark space for further storage or into the refrigerator to be eaten. Serve a couple tablespoons before each meal.

Helping the Body

Dry Brush-find a natural type brush in health food stores. Get in the habit of doing this before getting in the shower. Use as much pressure as you can stand and start farthest away from the heart and work towards the heart. Lymph nodes are heavily present in backs of knees, groin, armpits and chest area.

Alternate cold and hot water on the chest area when you are in the shower to then circulate toxins out of the body.

Bounce- if you have a ball, sit on the ball and bounce for 5 to 10 minutes everyday. If no ball, you can run up and down stairs a few times to exercise the lymph system and remove toxins.

Hydration-drink half your body weight in ounces (up to hundred ounces max for those over 200 lbs.) You can add a pinch of salt (celtic/himilain) and/or lemon. Salt will help keep your electrolytes balanced.

Remember, you may feel a little worse before you feel better as the body detoxes and adjusts to its new metabolism.
