Other Information
Foods to avoid or keep minimal consumption of:
Dairy products/Cow’s milk contains a phosphorous to milk ratio that is too close together compared to human breast milk. Phosphorous can combine with calcium in the digestive tract and actually prevent absorption of calcium. The diet regime provided above provides calcium from other alternative sources with better absorption.
Refined foods should be avoided as much as possible. They are stripped of their fiber and nutrients, leaving the concentrated sweet or starch powder behind, making the food an empty source for nourishment. Refined foods include white flour foods, breads, pastries, doughnuts, white flour pastas and sugar and soda. These foods will actually pull the nutrients from the body and pull the minerals from the bones.
Stimulants such as coffee and cigarettes should be avoided. They can interfere with the absorption of many vitamins and minerals. Cigarettes increase the incidence of heart disease. Infections and allergies are also prevalent in smokers and causing poor oxygenation in tissues and other associated chemical effects.
After the 5 day meal plan you can look for alternative choices to any food you would like to enjoy in your diet (i.e. frozen yogurt instead of ice cream, whole grains instead of refined foods and Honey and Maple Syrup instead of refined sugars.) You can also experiment with your recipes by making healthier substitutions and still getting to enjoy the same flavours you love. (i.e. Substituting butter with extra virgin olive oil.) You can also consider adding diced up greens and extra virgin olive oil to any meal each day to your dish to nourish the body where ever possible.
Alternative foods to consider:
- Swiss water decaffeinated coffee rather than Coffee with caffeine
- Honey, Maple syrup, stevia rather than processed white sugar
- Reverse osmosis water (Dasani) with NO Flouride rather than any other bottled water, or pure water from home
- Extra virgin olive oil & Grape seed oil rather than canola or vegetable oil
- Frozen yogurt rather than ice cream
- Herbal teas rather than black orange pekoe tea
- Sea salt rather than table iodized salts
- Whole flour rather than white enriched flour
- Butter instead of margarines (margarine contains hydrogenated oils)
