Morning-
- Drink a cup of warm water with 1/2 lemon's juice first thing in the morning
- Unsweetened, pure cranberry juice diluted with water, with a teaspoon of psyllium husks. I don't really understand what they are yet, but they kind of feel like little tiny grains of tapioca, and thicken the juice, almost as if drinking jello that hasn't quite set yet. I think it's essentially just fiber. And I have pectin, which I've chosen to take in capsule form
- Fruit throughout the morning, waiting at least 30 minutes between pieces, but no more than an hour, until lunch
- A digestive enzyme, which I've also chosen in capsule form
- For lunch, a green salad, emphasis on green, so a variety of leafy vegetables, plus whatever vegetables I feel like that day, and homemade dressing if I choose, ideally made from organic oil, vinegar and herbs, plus digestive enzymes
- For a snack there's a variety of options, like celery and almond butter, more fruit, a smoothie, fresh vegetables, raw nuts, etc.
- Another cranberry juice/water combination, plus pectin, minus psyllium husks
- For dinner, another large green salad, plus an entree, which could include soup, brown rice and beans, anything with legumes, or any "normal" food made with something like spelt instead of wheat or white flour. And digestive enzymes.
- 8-10 cups of pure water, 3 of which should have 8 drops of what's called "CellFood", a natural oxygen and nutritional supplement.
- A multi-vitamin
- Green-food supplement once a day. I got mine in a powder form, which can be added to the second glass of cranberry juice or made into a smoothie.
- 3 cups of kidney tea, which should have a variety of herbs, mainly dandelion root
- For week one, 2 organic apples
One of the most confusing things so far has been trying to figure out a schedule that allows me to eat meals, take supplements and drink everything that needs to be drunk, all while waiting the appropriate time for digestion before moving on to the next thing. For example, water should be drunk on an empty stomach, so I should wait at least a half an hour before eating and an hour after eating before drinking water so that it doesn't interfere with the absorption of nutrients. And fruit shouldn't be eaten with in 3 hours of grains. Tricky.
And things I shouldn't eat/drink are sweets, alcohol, caffeine, meat, dairy, gluten.
Really that's about it. And it's only 4 weeks, so it'll end just in time for Easter candy.
