If sensitive to the following, read what to avoid:
Gluten grains to avoid include: wheat, oat, barley, rye,
Wheat products to avoid include:
white flour, whole wheat, groundstone wheat, semolina, durum
Use instead: millet, buckwheat, spelt, quinoa, amaranth, kamut, rice, corn
You can find pastas, breads, cereals, and snack foods made from these products - mostly in health food stores. Many regular supermarkets now carry these foods.
If not sensitive to wheat, you may eat:
whole wheat, oats, barley, rye • as well as the above
Eat a high fiber, high complex carbohydrate diet. Whole grains, fresh vegetables, sometime a fruit, and some brown rice in your diet. Raw vegetables and fruits are best. Eat well-cooked (low, low heat) vegetables, also. Cook with heat so low that you do not need to add water and cook for about 1 hour to get tender! If need more fluid, add small amount of soup or tomato or apple slices or lettuce at bottom of pan. Wash vegetables well & do not peel! Raw fruits and vegetables eat as soon as possible. Cooked = refrigerated up to 48 hrs. Oatmeal is a must! and potatoes are important!
Emphasize cruciferous vegetables such as:
broccoli, cauliflower, kohlrabi, kale, turnip, radishes, rutabaga, cabbage, watercress, brussel sprouts, mustard greens, horseradish. (Above = great for juicing)
Eat organic, fresh, raw pineapple - sliced or juiced between meals. If juicing, drink within 10 minutes of juicing. Papaya should be eaten between meals. Organic carrots juiced with 1 organic green apple - at least two 8 ounce glasses a day.
You may eat 3 ounces of baked or broiled white meat chicken, turkey, or fish such as cod, scrod, or flounder - organically grown • With no hormones, steroids, preservatives. Eat these items only broiled or baked.
Avoid foods high in sugar including:
| sucrose |
fructose |
glucose |
cookies |
| honey |
barley malt |
maple syrup |
cakes |
| fruit juices |
alcohol |
dried fruits |
pies, etc |
Sugar stimulates the central nervous system. If you do have diabetes, it is imperative that you read labels for sugar
content. It may cause a person to become nervous or a child hyperactive. It creates an environment illness likes!
You should eat a high fiber, high complex carbohydrate diet with:
whole grains, fresh vegetables, legumes, and 1-2 pieces of fresh fruit
Add legumes and beans because they are an excellent source of fiber and protein and are low in fat.
Limit unsalted rye bread to 2-3 slices daily. 1/2 cup of pasta = 1 slice of bread
Do not eat fats: The majority of fat that you do eat gets converted into the fat on your body. When you eat carbohydrates and proteins, very little, if any, will be converted to fat. It takes more energy for the body to convert carbohydrates and proteins to fat. Fat builds up in your veins, arteries, and heart. Fat, also, creates obesity and heart damage.
Look at the ingredients of everything you eat. Learn to know what goes into your body so that you will feel better about yourself.
IMPORTANT POINTS TO REMEMBER
1. Eat organically!!!!!
2. Eat every 2 to 3 hours OR 4 to 6 times per day and NOT 3 HOURS BEFORE BEDTIME so the body can use this time to rejuvenate rather that digest
3. Whole grains, fresh fruits, fresh vegetable - more brown rice
4. Pineapple, papaya, carrot juice in between meals
5. Create an environment in which illness will not like!
