Diet 5: High Fiber/High Protein/Weight Reduction Liv-It

Diet #5: High Fiber/High Protein/Weight Reduction Liv-It

It is ideal to lose weight by cutting back. Chew each bite 15 times. Sit, think, and chew. Do not watch television, talk to anyone, listen to the radio, or read the newspaper. Think and count.

The key to this approach is whole fiber, and not having around foods you should not eat. This is about "direction, not perfection." It is about trying for 100% and accepting not doing it 100%. Beware of your worst enemies that stop weight loss, which are chicken, breads and pastas, dairy products and sweets.


Breakfast:

Unlimited cantaloupe/watermelon/honeydew, plus blue berries/strawberries and grapefruit ("Florida's Natural" brand Ruby Red premium grapefruit juice.

Inka coffee substitute, Kukicha, and/or bancha green teas.

NO bread, baked goods including pies/cakes/cookies/muffins/bagels, cereal, crackers or chips, milk product, rice (brown or white) or any other grain, pasta or mayonnaise, Chinese or fried food, pizza, grinders, potatoes, sweet potatoes, yams and plantain!

Use a carrot peeler to peel off all the colored skin front both watermelon and grapefruit. Discard the skin. Then grind in a food processor the remaining rind plus any/all of the above recommended fruit. Eat these fruits with this rind. This creates an "active disinterest" in food and eliminates your hunger for bread, rice, chicken and dairy.


Lunch & Dinner:

2/3 of the vegetables cooked soft (boiled 1-20 minutes) and only 1/3 raw as a salad.

Health Valley brand Corn and Vegetable canned organic and 50 calories/serving soups. You may dilute with one can of high quality vegetable broth such as Arrowhead Mills "All Natural" mushroom broth or water. Take this soup with you in a wide mouth large-sized thermos.


Dinner:

As much and as often as you wish of fish, beans, veal, lamb, eggs, pork, or use seitan (made by "The Bridge"- slice and pan fry with no lid in the "SAUCE" below.

"Smoke & Fire" brand, Herb Smoked Tofu-Organic, Yves brand veggie burger Burgers or Soy "Chicken" Salad, Tofu Salad, or tempeh.

Fresh trout, porgy, whiting, butterfish, halibut, mackerel, grouper, snapper, perch, bass, pike, flounder, cod, scrod, roughie, steamed, baked or broiled.

Eden or American Prairie brands canned beans, such as Great Northern, Navy, Black, Aduki, etc., at your natural food store.


Foods:

Perfectly 3-20 minute rolling boiled vegetables: ideally organic and eat as much as you wish all day long: onions, carrots, broccoli, kale, leeks, cabbage, collard greens (frozen is fine), winter squash, daikon, burdock.

Other vegetables: summer squash, pumpkin, cauliflower, tomatoes, scallions, bok choy, cucumbers, mustard greens, string beans, mushrooms, carrot tops, snow peas, turnip greens, parsley, regular radishes, and celery.

NO eggplant, zucchini, potatoes, spinach, Swiss chard, lettuce, or much peppers.

For gas, change the water twice when cooking beans, try Solgar brand "Digestive Aid" or Nature's Plus "Ultrazyme".


Flavorings:

Have someone in the store find for you the items that you are not familiar with: Say to them "Please find for me…"

"Sauce": One teaspoon each of Toasted Sesame Oil + Brown Rice Syrup + Tamari + 1 tablespoon of water heated in a pan, poured over your vegetables-fish-beans.

Less preferred is "Molly McButter or Pam Spray."

Organically grown tomato spaghetti sauces, Nasoya brand Garden Herb Vegi-Dressing, Parsley Patch brand "Italian Blend" herbal flavoring or "Mrs. Dash" and "Mt. Fuji Mustard".


Recommended Vitamins and Cookbook:

The Self Healing Cookbook, by Kristina Turner. Available at the PMC. Call 800-789-PREV. Cooking/Health instructors are available. See the PMC Staff and Resources pages.


Comments:

Skinless chicken breast is lower in fat than meat, but has the same cholesterol content as a T-bone steak.

Do not buy or have in the house what you should not eat.

I didn't write the genetic rules, I am just informing you of what they are.
