Strategic Plan for Diet Reform

Although this list begins with ‘remove’, often it may be the hardest thing to do. What I usually recommend in the start of everyone’s journey, is to add the items from the “replace” list. And the ‘reduce’ the harmful until it is fully removed!

Remove

• meats/dairy

• allergens. foods that you are sensitive to: food sensitivity test

• nutritional yeast

• grains/nuts, temporarily until better

• artificial perfumes and flavors, indefinitely

• boxed canned foods, indefinitely

• oils, indefinitely

• skin care and home cleaning products with harmful known carcinogens, indefinitely

  • read ingredients of the products you purchase and avoid: SLS, PEG, EDTA, fragrance, dyes, etc.

Replace

• with whole plant-based!

• soaked or sprouted seeds and pseudograins vs grains or nuts

• organic and non-GMO, local is a plus, and even better if from your own organic garden!

• whole plant fat vs extracted oils

• true organic non-gmo natural skincare and household products.

  • you can learn how to make your own if you have the time and energy!

Repair

• have an anti-inflammatory plant-based lunch and breakfast

• consider a light dinner only or fast for dinner

• limit liquids with meals, but drink plenty in between meals

• add superfoods for a boost: turmeric, garlic, carob, maca, dried herbs

• healing therapies: hydrotherapy, poultices, enemas

***Fasting or Intermittent Fasting: clears and resets the digestive system, reduces inflammatory mediators

Goal:

- initially remove sensitive foods, and carefully and thoughtfully reintroduce certain foods after inflammatory issues have healed. or remove them indefinitely especially if you are not lacking in nutrition in any way!
