Two glasses of water (filtered), one glass with one-half of a lemon squeezed into it.

Breakfast:

One piece of fresh fruit (at room temperature), such as apple, pear, banana, grapes or citrus.  Chew well, mixing each bite with saliva.

15-20 minutes later:  One bowl of cooked whole grains – specifically millet, brown rice, amaranth, quinoa, raw buckwheat or buckwheat.

Flavoring may be two tablespoons of fruit juice for a sweeter breakfast taste, or use the “better butter” mixture mentioned below with a little rock salt or tamari for a deeper flavor.

11:00 a.m. One to two cups veggie water, saved from steamed vegetables.  Add a little sea salt or kelp and drink slowly, mixing each mouthful with saliva.

>Lunch (Noon – 1 p.m.):

One to two medium bowls of steamed vegetables; use a variety, including roots, stems, and greens – e.g., potatoes and yams, green beans, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, beets, asparagus, kale, swiss chard and cabbage.  Chew well!

3:00 p.m. One to two cups veggie water, saved from steamed vegetables.  Add a little sea salt or kelp and drink slowly, mixing each mouthful with saliva.

>Dinner (5 – 6 p.m.):

Same as lunch.  (change vegetables for taste variety).

>Evening & Bedtime (Asleep by 10 p.m.):

Herbal teas only – e.g. peppermint, chamomile, pau d’arco or blends.  Before bedtime is a good time to take your Calcium/Magnesium suppliment

Seasoning

Butter/canola or flaxseed oil mixture.  Make this “better butter” by mixing one half-cup of cold pressed canola oil (or olive or flaxseed oils) into a soft (room temperature) half-pound of butter; then place in a dish and refrigerate.  Use about one teaspoon per meal or a maximum of 3 teaspoons daily.

Note

You may feel a little weak or have a few symptoms the first couple of days – this will pass.  Clarity and feeling good should appear by day three or four, if not before.  If during this diet, you start to feel weak or hungry, assess your water intake and elimination; if needed, you may eat a small portion of protein food (3-4 ounces) in the mid-afternoon.  This could be organic fish; free-range, organic chicken; or some beans, such as lentil, garbanzo, mung or black beans.
