Key Guidelines

Drink Water

MANDATORY-32 ounces per 50 pounds of body weight daily. (1 liter per 24 kg of body weight)

•  Water means pure water-nothing added.
•  Reverse osmosis water is recommended.
•  Include 8 ounces warm water with freshly squeezed juice of half a lemon first thing in the morning.

Eat Whole Foods

•  You must eat every 2 hours of your waking day.
•  Unlimited proteins including eggs and dairy.
•  Milk products as desired unless either overweight, have a skin problem, or tend toward constipation.
•  You must eat at least 9 ounces (300 g) red meat per week.
•  Unlimited green vegetables.
•  Yellow vegetables in moderation.
•  Unlimited fresh fruit.
•  Fruit juices must be labeled "NO ADDED SUGAR". Those labeled "unseweetened" or "sugar free" may contain added sweeteners. Dilute juice 50/50 with water.
•  See detailed list of appropriate foods on last page.
•  If the food is modified and packaged, you don't want to eat it.



Limit Your Intake Of Grains

Two slices of rice bread or sprouted grain bread (e.g., Ezekiel 4:9) may be eaten per day.

Basmati rice or roasted rice may be used. Place rice in a dry skillet and brown to a golden brown. Some kernels may pop. Cool. Store or cook as needed. Roasting changes the utilization of the rice within your body.

Avoid Sugars Of All Kinds

Sucanat (or Splenda), a derivative of cane syrup, may be used as a sweetener in small quantities.

Processed fructose is deadly and honey is a medicine, not a food.

Nutrasweet (Equal) is not suitable. It is 10% methyl alcohol and breaks down in the body to formaldehyde formic acid (all of which are poisons) and phenylalanine which can be a nerve poison even in moderate amounts.

No Caffeine

Limit coffee and tea. Decaffeinated coffee/tea or herbal tea 1-3 cups daily. (Does not count toward water intake per day.)

Combine Foods Appropriately

To avoid stomach discomfort and more efficiently digest your food, do not eat proteins or fats with carbohydrates. The starch from the carbohydrates shuts off acid production in the stomach; your body needs the acid to digest proteins. Vegetables may be eaten with proteins, fats, or carbohydrates. Eat fruits alone and on an empty stomach; wait 20 minutes before eating other foods.
