General Principles
 
 • EAT FREQUENTLY – every 2-3 hours which helps keep our bodies in balance
 • DRINK WATER – 70% of our body weight is water
 • WHITE SUGAR - during the week no white sugar, sugar raises your blood sugar which has a lot to do with our moods
 • CARBOHYDRATES – for right now try to eat about 1/3 of our meal made up of carbohydrates (vegetables, fruits, wheat bread, yogurt, grains) but watch the amounts
 • PROTEINS – try to have some protein in each meal, serving size about the size of your palm
 • FATS – big rule – no fats with sugar or minimal sugar! Oils should consist of olive oil, canola, etc., limit to 1 tablespoon per meal. Note that there are a lot of hidden fats in our foods.
 • SUPPLEMENTATION – the starter kit consists of a multi-vitamin, B-complex, chromium, niacin. As the program progresses, others will be added.
 • CAFFEINE – is a drug that causes adrenal weakness, insomnia in some cases, depletion of vitamins and minerals, and should be minimized or stopped.
