Just wanted to offer a suggestion that's
working for me. We had a young family
member (35) diagnosed with high blood
pressure and a pre-stroke infarct. He was
scared into this diet...but after seeing
the results, my husband and I decided to
join him on it. He lost weight in 3
weeks, had healthier skin and high blood
pressure DROPPED! The whole concept is to
go easy on your colon. After 2 weeks, I'm
going strong. Comes highly recommended:
EVERY DAY for BREAKFAST:
1. The juice of one lemon or orange, mixed
with 300 ml water. add 1 tablespoon of
flax oil.
2. 10-15 raw almonds
3. A glass of soy milk
4. 2 apples
RULES (organic foods are ideal):
1. Don't drink water for 2 hours after
lunch or dinner, and 15 minutes before
meals
2. Eat only fruits until lunch. Aim for
2 kg of fruit (the fibre works to clean
the colon).
3. Snack on handfuls of nuts and seeds
(pumpkin, sunflower, peanuts, almond,
etc.)
4. Drink a minimum of 2 litres of water
before lunch
5. No fruit after lunch
6. Lunch should begin around 2-3PM
(difficult for the first few days...but it
gets easier to wait as your body adjusts
to the portions)
7. Eat a salad 1.5 to 2 hours after lunch
(or with lunch)
8. Eat a salad 30 minutes before sleep
9. Use only flax or olive oil and apple
vinegar for salads
10. Reduce salt
11. Don't let more than an hour go by
without eating something
12. No meat, no cheese, no bread, no rice,
no potatoes
13. Maximum 2 cups of coffee a day
LUNCHES
* Eat as much as you like!
* Eat salad with lunch
* Eat same types of food in a 3 day
series
* On the 4th & 5th days, you can eat
fish
* Only cook food in the oven (no frying)
- Green peas
- Beans
- Green beans
- Lentils
DINNER
* Portions = 1/2 lunch
* OR Lots of salad
* OR Clear vegetable based soup
