This diet is used to re-establish your carbohydrate (sugar) metabolism. This diet is primarily high protein no carbohydrate, basically you can eat as much red and green food as you wish but no white food besides fish, chicken, garlic and onion. It is important that you follow it strictly and if broken you may have to begin your 2-week period again.

​

It is recommended after the 2 weeks to stick to 70% protein and 30% carbohydrate daily to maintain the wellbeing feeling and to allow the liver and pancreas to do their job properly.

​

It is not uncommon to experience headaches, nausea and a basic hangover feeling for the first 3 to 4 days of being on the diet. This generally passes after 24 to 48 hours. If you are bedridden vomiting, dizzy and shakey, EAT A SMALL AMOUNT OF SUGAR  i.e. a few lollies or similar, this is not a desired state.

​

If you are a coffee addict, drink ½ a cup with some sugar. If this does not help you may use Panadol or similar.

​

SOME SUGGESTIONS

​

ROASTED RICE
Place long grain rice in a dry frypan and brown lightly. You may use a little olive oil. You may get a few popped pieces, just pick these out. Cool and then store in the fridge. You may then cook the rice in whichever way you would normally. This alters the rice to behave more like a protein rather than a carbohydrate. If you boil the rice after frying  the result is a risotto texture.  If you allow it to sit in the fridge for 24 hours its texture returns similar as before.

​

BREAKFAST SUGGESTIONS
Bacon and eggs, boiled eggs, omelets, and pancakes made with rice flour, fruit with seeds and nuts, creamed roasted rice, toasted rice bread with macadamia butter, protein shakes with fruit.

​

LUNCH SUGGESTIONS
Cold meat and salad, rice bread sandwich (Most people toast it first and let it cool), meat and veggie, fish and salad, some Chinese or Asian dishes without noodles or white veggie, stir-fries, grilled fish, chicken pieces and salad, soup.

​

NUTS
Nuts may be used as a snack when you have to eat every 2 hours and it is not mealtime. It is handy to have a bag of almonds, macadamias or cashews in your pocket when out. A handful of these will satisfy hunger and will fulfill the diet plan. (fresh macadamias low carb bars and berry bites are allowed.

​

FRUIT JUICE
Fruit juice is best mixed with water. Straight 100% juice is actually a food. When diluted part of your water requirement is also fulfilled.
