1. Try
never to eat a concentrated starch (bread, potatoes, beans or
rice) with a concentrated protein (meat, fish, products or
nuts)
at the same meal. But have at least one carbohydrate and one
protein-based meal a day.
2. Try to eat only fruit for breakfast. Eating fruit (which
is virtually self-digesting) only for the first half of the day allows
the deep
cleansing and fat -shredding function of the liver to be as
efficient as possible. All other foods will only interfere with this
process.
3. Have a large salad (which rates as neutral food
and can be happily combined with either a starch or a protein food) at
least
once a day. This is the best possible way of giving your body the
nutrition it needs to rebalance and rebuild itself and restore
optimal
metabolism.
4. Choose high quality food – fresh, wholegrain and
unprocessed.
5. Make meat, poultry, dairy products, no more than
20% of your daily diet, and salads and vegetable meals, the other 80%.
6. Eat lots of "high-water" foods – raw fresh
fruit and vegetables. Your body is 70% water, so for it to detoxify
itself and restore
normal cell function, 50-75% of your daily diet needs
to be made up of high-water foods. If you are having only fruit for
breakfast and at least one big salad a day, it just takes care of
itself.
7. Don't eat between meals, except fruit between breakfast
and lunch if you are truly hungry. Your digestive system must have
time
to complete the digestion of a meal before you put anything else into
it.
8. Avoid coffee, tea and alcohol. They are all high in
toxins and will hamper the fat burning process. Instead drink plenty of
filtered or mineral water.
9. Be creative. Adjust the Healthy Eating Plan to suit your
lifestyle.
10. Make time for exercise – at least 30 minutes 4 times a week.
Try brisk walking, cycling, swimming – anything that
increases your
heart rate. Regular exercise spurs the release of toxicity, boosts the
metabolism, firms the body and
improves your ability to handle stress.
