- Drink at least 8 glasses of fluids daily - preferably water (Reverse
Osmosis or distilled, nothing with caffeine).
- Eat a wide variety of fresh, unprocessed foods - preferably organic.
- Establish consistent eating patterns. This promotes sound nutrition,
reduces stress, and prevents overeating. Do not skip meals... particularly
breakfast.
- Eat more complex carbohydrates for vitamins, minerals, energy, fiber,
water and fewer calories. These include: fresh fruits (including peels and
seeds) and vegetables, whole grain products (bread, cereals, brown rice,
whole-grain pasta, grits, oatmeal, sprouted grains), yams, potatoes, fresh
corn, peas, beans, and sprouted lentils. This will increase your dietary
fiber for good digestion, prevention of digestion diseases, and to stabilize
blood glucose levels.
- Eat more fish and poultry in place of beef, lamb, and cheese. But limit
to 4-meals-a-week of 4 ounces to a maximum of 8 ounces a day.
- Replace Saturated fats with polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats
whenever possible.
- AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE! "White Plague Foods", white flour, refined sugar
and processed cereals. White sugar, as in table sugar, jam, jelly, soft
drinks, desserts, candy, cookies, cake, pastries - nearly ALL processed
foods and beverages, sweetened juices, processed fruit and peanut butter,
contain sugar.
- Avoid foods that are high in fat. These include: Fried foods, margarine,
mayonnaise, oils, sauces, salad dressings, granola, party crackers and dips,
chips and dips, fast foods, convenience foods, commercial pastries, high-fat
meats (bacon, sausage, cold cuts, hot dogs, marbled beef, lamb, pork), and
dairy products (whole milk, sour or sweet cream, cheese and ice cream).
Butter in moderation is acceptable.
- Limit your salt intake. Sources of sodium - these items are not
recommended: salt, pickles, olives, luncheon meats, hot dogs, ham,
bacon, sausage, cheeses, processed foods, fast foods, snack foods (chips,
crackers, pretzels), canned soups and vegetables, sauces (chili, barbecue,
soy, steak), pizza, and commercial bakery products.
- Limit your caffeine intake. Caffeine is found in: Coffee, tea, cola
drinks, and chocolate.
- Limit alcohol; one glass of red wine with your meal is acceptable.
- Adjust your food intake according to your needs in line with your
exercise program. This will avoid such conditions as high blood-pressure
levels, high cholesterol level, diabetes, etc. The higher your calorie
intake, the more exercise you need to attain and maintain your desired body
weight.
