Making sense about a diet

What to avoid and exclude from your diet:

  1. Processed food: TV dinners, canned food, packaged prepared cereal and any other food that has been prepared to be on the shelf for a long time. Usually these foods contain preservatives that your body is not used to, so they can be toxic to you.
  2. Junk Food: sugar, chocolate, cookies, cakes, candy, potato chips, artificial sweeteners carbonated drinks, etc.
  3. Anything made out of wheat or other refined carbohydrates: breads, bagels, pasta, cookies, etc. Wheat is a major allergen for us and can cause weight gain.
  4. White rice, corn, excessive soy products (for women)
  5. Cows milk and milk products — it is known to be major allergen to most of us.
  6. Large predatory fish, like tuna and sword fish. It has large concentrations of heavy metals. Farm raised fish, like salmon. It is being fed food with high concentration of PCB and other cancerogens.
  7. Coffee, chocolate, black tea, alcohol and smoking, as well as any over-the counter medications you are using more than once per month. It is toxic for you and increases your stress.

What’s left to eat or what is good for you?

  1. Fresh organic fruits, vegetables and nuts. Brown rice.
  2. Organically raised animals and eggs. Goat milk and goat cheese.
  3. If you have "a sweet tooth" you can use Stevia drops (helps to regulate blood sugar metabolism and is 50x sweeter than sugar) or raw honey (in limited amounts)
  4. Wild small fish.
  5. Fish oil from Nordic Sea (it is the only sea that is not polluted with heavy metals). Use oil stored in bottles (keep refrigerated after opening), not in capsules (it has a tendency to get rancid). Take 2 teaspoons of oil daily. Mix it with olive oil and use in your salads or have it straight.
  6. Virgin olive oil, sesame oil.

How should I eat?

  1. Bless your food before a meal. Thank god, or the universe for giving it to you and those people who made it possible to have it on your table. Ask for food to be helpful and healing for you.
  2. Eat slowly. Focus on your food and only your food. Consume small portions and notice everything about your food: smell, shape, color, taste, texture, etc.
  3. Monitor how full your stomach is as you eat. Put your arm on your belly and notice how full it is. On a scale from 1 to 10, your stomach should not exceed more than a 7. Stop in time.
  4. Take a "liquid day" once per week. Do not consume solid food; only water and freshly made juices. It will help you to get rid of toxins and "reset" your gastrointestinal tract.
  5. Drink 6-8 glasses of water per day.
