 Would you like to have more energy, lose weight and be mentally and emotionally stronger?
This can be achieved by decreasing inflammation and improving your elimination pathways.
The foods you consume are one of the most profound ways to improve your overall health.
There is no one diet that works for everybody, but by improving your food choices your body can eliminate naturally.
If you are vegan, you can continue to be. That goes for keto, gluten free, paleo, dairy free, etc.
If you want to decrease inflammation, which is at the root of all chronic symptoms incorporate the following dietary guidelines.
 General Diet Guidelines
- Eat organic where possible.
- Avoid the Dirty Dozen. The Dirty Dozen are strawberries, spinach, kale, collard and mustard greens, nectarines, apples, grapes, bell and hot peppers, cherries, peaches, pears, celery and tomatoes.
- Cut out sugar and alcohol.
- Eat grains only in their whole food form. Eating rice instead of rice bread or rice pasta.
- Keep caffeine to 1 cup. Caffeine can over stimulate the nervous system.
- Tune into your body and notice its signals. Your body will tell you when it is full, what kinds of foods it is wanting and even what it does not want.
Dietary Recommendation to Reduce Inflammation and Improve Detoxification.
Upon Rising – Warm lemon water and/or apple cider vinegar (wait 5-10 minutes to have coffee or tea or breakfast).
BREAKFAST – Protein heavy (20-30g). Protein feeds your brain, muscles, and body.
SNACK #1 – Fruit. This can be mixed fruit. Any fruit goes. Fruit is essential for lymphatic drainage. This gives your lymphatic system a boost and delivers glucose to the brain, so you don't get low energy mid-morning.
LUNCH – Vegetable heavy with added protein and leafy greens. You can add in grains and heavier carbs and vegetables when needed. This should be your biggest meal of the day.
SNACK #2 – Raw veggies. You can add dips, cheese, or nut butter. I like raw carrots as it also helps to detox excess estrogens. You could also have nuts or seeds here too.
DINNER – Protein heavy with added vegetables and leafy greens. Dinner should be enough to fill you up, but smaller than lunch.
This diet is best followed for three months for results of improving energy, losing weight improving brain function and overall wellbeing.
