Detox Diet

First TWO Weeks

Meats: Chicken, Turkey, and Fish. Eggs are OK. No red meat or pork.

Vegetables: You can eat as many green vegetables as you want, but no peas or beans. Red potatoes and avocados are ok.

Do not use bottled salad dressing. Make your own with lemon, garlic, olive oil, tarragon, vinegar, and pepper. 

Nuts: All nuts but no peanuts.

No salt. No dairy. No grains.

Drinks: Drink lots of water. You can add a lemon or lime to your water. V8 juice, carrot, celery or any other vegetable juice is fine. Almond milk and unsweetened tea are ok too. No soda of any kind.

Snacks: Carrots, sardines, or Quaker Rice Cakes (Unsalted or Butter Popcorn flavored only.)

Weeks 3 & 4

Add all fruits. Lots of grapefruits and berries. Tomatoes are ok. 

No bananas, watermelon, or grapes.

Weeks 5 & 6

Add beans, peas, and peanuts.

Weeks 7 & 8

Add cereals, breads, and pasta. Add one whole grain each week; corn, brown rice, wheat, etc. This is the best way to pick up any hidden grain allergies.

General Principles

This plan is critical to adjust your metabolism. When the liver is full of sugar, it keeps your blood sugar at a level that maintains the addiction and metabolic problems. You will emerge with your sugar cravings gone.

DO NOT GO HUNGRY. Eat every hour if necessary. Do not count calories. If you are full you will stay away from foods to avoid.

DO NOT WEIGH YOURSELF.

Drink fluids before every meal.

Eat breakfast as a king, lunch as a queen, and dinner as a pauper.

Plan ahead so you don’t get caught hungry around bad food.

Recruit family members. This detox is very hard without support.

Again, NO DAIRY, RED MEAT, GRAINS, OR SWEETS.
