"Sweet Death" protocol: |
First 2 weeks: |
Organic: Lean meats (not pork, sausage, salami, etc.) eggs, and wild fish.
Plenty of organic vegetables; steamed, stir-fried in ghee, coconut oil, or olive oil,
baked, roasted, mashed or fresh. Only sweet potatoes/yams, no white potato.
Organic: Raw nuts, seeds, and nut butters. Avoid cashew, peanut and pistachio.
Organic: Olive oil and lemon may be used for dressings.
Herb teas and green teas okay for beverages, avoid alcohol, coffee and dairy.
Stevia and Xylitol are fine for sweeteners, or gum and mints from Nature's Sunshine. |
Second 2 weeks: |
Add 2 fruits per day to the above. Avoid grapes, dried fruit and bananas. |
Third 2 weeks: |
Add Legumes to the above; dried beans and peas, lentils, soybeans, tofu, tempeh.
(no processed soy-ish foods like milks, fake meats, cheeses, ice creams, etc.) |
Fourth 2 weeks: |
Add Grains to the above; amaranth, quinoa, buckwheat, millet, brown rice,
avoid wheat products of all kinds and minimize ancient wheats (spelt and kamut). |
Additional supplements to consider: L-Arginine, L-Carnitine, Glyco Essentials, CLA or Omega 3.
Psyllium, Probiotics, Enzymes and Super Omega 3 are always a good idea.
Everyone who has tried this protocol has been amazed. Headaches have disappeared, weight and body fat have been regulated, hormones have become balanced, blood pressure has become regular and body pain has stopped. The one comment we hear often is about boredom with the diet. (Remember that a diet is whatever you're eating, try not to get hung up on the word)
I did not experience this, as I am a seasoned naturalist and gourmet cooking is one of my passions. I have provided my personal 'food journal' as I made the journey through "Sweet Death", in hopes that it raises your awareness of all the beautiful food God created for us that does not trigger insulin.
This is Patricia Adams' food journal; your program may vary according to your own preferences.
I began the program as I was stuck; with 25 excess pounds and 38% body fat during menopause.
I was determined to never be hungry, never count a calorie, and to eat as much good fat as possible.
NOTE: My chai tea is homemade with xylitol and 1 T. whole raw organic milk.
