Plate #2: "Fat loss" or "Healing"
Plate
This
"plate" closely approximates what many semi-vegetarians would eat
because it focuses on consuming a lot of vegetables, mostly from the
"non-starchy" category. Because of this it is also "alkalizing" which
often helps heal many conditions correlated to an over-acid condition.
Some
people may find that they will need to eliminate Favorable carbs
altogether in order to achieve the best results.
TIP: Start each meal and snack with a
satisfying amount of BEST protein and GOOD fat, THEN add carbs starting
with "most favorable" - which are unlimited.
Also
AVOID packaged
products that contain:
- hydrogenated or partially hydrogentated oil
- refined flour
- sugar in any form
- other additives such as preservatives, dyes etc.
If your goal is to lose weight, keep total carb intake just below "maintenance" level: about 15 to 36 grams per meal for the “average” person.
If
you have been “out of balance” for some
time, you may actually gain a pound
or two initially. This is because your
body is refilling hollow bones and degraded
muscle. And this
is why it is better to pay more
attention to how your clothes fit than
what the scale says.
Results, including a slimmer waistline,
become apparent within a few weeks for many people. Others may need to
take several months, and a few may take a year or more, depending on
how long you have been out of balance, how undernourished you are - and
of course your genetic makeup.
