Ideally, breakfast will consist of fresh fruit and whole grains, but if you need to consume high calorie foods, do it in the morning and not late in the day. 2. Late morning: Eat a snack equivalent in calories to a hamburger and potato fries. Healthier foods are recommended, but for the purposes of complying with this program, eat what you want at this time of the day instead of waiting until the evening when these calories readily convert to body fat. 3. Mid-afternoon: Have anothet snack equivalent to the calories obtained from a tuna salad sandwich on whole wheat bread and some fruit. 4.

Those with acute infections should have only fresh fruit or vegetable juice until health improves and good appetite returns. If you suspect your body is overloaded with chemicals or that your liver's ability to detoxify is reduced, do only mild fasts initially, such as the rice diet and raw food diet. Also supply yourself with plenty of sulfur in the form of MSM (see part 3) or, alternatively, use onions, raw egg yolk, and possibly the amino acids cysteine and methionine, or even powdered sulfur. Regular cleansing is the more important the older and physically less active you are.

Try frozen fruit. When fresh fruit becomes scarce during the winter, a good alternative awaits you in the freezer aisle. Have you ever tried fruits that are frozen in one-pound plastic bags? They cost a little more than fresh fruit, and they are a little mushy when thawed, but they are extremely sweet and flavorful, even though they are unsweetened. I like thawed frozen fruit as a breakfast accompaniment to cereal, cottage cheese, or yogurt. Avoid the tendency to overeat fat-free sweets. Several cookie companies are making fortunes off the current fat-free fad.

Remember that fruit juice doesn't contain the fiber that fresh fruit does, so it won't fill you up as much as fresh fruit. Remaining on the perimeter of the store, move on from produce to the dairy section, and then on to fresh seafood and the deli. Dairy_ At the dairy section, the simple rule of thumb to follow with all the products is this: Every dairy purchase you make should be low fat or fat free. Milk Buy skim (nonfat) milk or 1 percent low-fat milk. A new type of milk on the market, "protein-enhanced skim milk," tastes as rich as whole milk but is actually skim.

Treat yourself and your family to daily salads, lightly steamed vegetables seasoned with olive oil and lemon, and a delicious dessert of fresh fruit. Not only will you live longer, you'll feel better along the way. Healthy Oils One of the primary causes of heart disease in this country is bad fats. This doesn't just apply to saturated fats (which really aren't bad for you unless you eat too much of them). It applies much more to the trans fatty acids found in hydro-genated oils and margarine-type products, which are bad for you in any amount.

A high-carb diet made up of bread, cake, cookies, sodas, and the occasional piece of fresh fruit is a very different thing from a high-carb diet made up of brown rice, beans, vegetables, and fruits. A high-protein diet made up of fatty meats, fried eggs, and cheese is quite different from one made up of tofu, fish, and lean poultry or free-range beef accompanied by plenty of fresh veggies. As you read about the supplements that will help stabilize your blood sugar, keep in mind that they will affect your blood sugar, so they shouldn't be used without very close monitoring if you have diabetes.

Morning: Several 6-8 ounce glasses of fresh fruit or vegetable juices. (In place of or after master cleanser.) These can be diluted with water, up to half. Apples, grapes, and some lemon make a great fruit juice mix. Fresh grapes and freshly made organic grape juice are also favorites and a healing cleanse program. Lunch: (Noon-1 p.m.) A 12-ounce glass of fresh vegetable, Master Cleanser, or fruit juice. Snack: (3 p.m.) 6-12 ounces of fresh vegetable juice. Carrot, beet, and celery are great together.

As always, fresh fruit is the best, and organic fresh fruit is the best of all. Certain fruits, such as strawberries, blackberries, and blueberries, should not be consumed unless they are certified organic, as the chemicals used in producing them are especially toxic. When buying fruits, select those that look fresh and feel firm. Don't buy produce that's soft or bruised, and don't buy more than you can reasonably use in a few days. Remember, it's a fresh product, not one filled with chemicals, and thus will spoil in a few days. Refrigerate the fruits you buy as quickly as possible.

For an unusual breakfast cereal or dessert, sweeten cooked quinoa with juice, fresh fruit, maple syrup, or sweet spices. Each quinoa kernel is coated with saponin, a bitter compound that repels harmful insects and birds. Saponin is removed during processing. To make basic quinoa, cook it as you would rice. Key nutrients in quinoa include protein, fiber, vitamin B6, copper, folate, iron, magnesium, manganese, vitamin B3 (niacin), phosphorus, potassium, vitamin B2 (riboflavin), vitamin Bj (thiamine), and zinc. Phytochemicals include saponins (when unwashed).

You would skip bacon, eggs, and ordinary bagels, which are stripped of fiber. Lunch could be a sandwich made with sliced tomato, lettuce, and veggie deli slices on rye. A pasta salad would be fine, too. For dinner, you might try tomato or split-pea soup followed by a vegetable stir-fry or shepherd's pie filled with chunky vegetables. In the process, you will avoid animal fat, have very little vegetable oil, and get all the fiber in those healthy vegetables. For a between-meal snack, an apple or banana fits the bill nicely, while potato chips or nuts pack too much fat.

Try always to have fresh fruit on hand and rely on it as your main snack food. Even though some fresh fruits can be expensive, especially in winter, they're really no more expensive than many other snacks that are loaded with sugar and saturated fats. Don't forget salads: Try to have one a day (and remember to make your own dressing using low-fat ingredients). In addition to these dietary shifts, I usually recommend that my patients take a teaspoon of miller's bran daily, or more if they have constipation.

I rarely use fresh fruit in pies and tarts. When you are lucky enough to find good fresh fruit in season, eat it that way. If you think you can't enjoy strawberries without sugar, try this: Wash the strawberries leaving the stems on; add a teaspoon of sea salt to a pint of cold water; leave the strawberries in the cold salt water mixture for a half hour or so. Now taste. We all know what a little salt can do for an apple or a melon. Strawberries and raspberries perk up the same way. One must look carefully to find canned peaches that aren't prepared with heavily sugared syrup.

Day 16: The day you add citrus, give fresh fruit or juice forms of lemon, lime, grapefruit or orange. Avoid artificial dyes if food colors were a problem. Fruit "drinks" contain much less juice. Day 17: The day you add peanut butter, give a child lots of peanut butter or peanuts. Test for this only if it is a favorite food. Use RyKrisp® if no wheat is allowed. Use pure peanut butter without additives from a health food store or Smuckers®. Don't test peanut or soy products if either caused serious health effects in the past.

For people who love fruit, it may even make up for the loss of fresh fruit flavors during these 2 weeks. The other suggestion makes ample use of low-fat ricotta cheese. You can use it as the basis for a number of delicious, permissible desserts. This one is reminiscent of the Italian delicacy known as tiramisu, which combines cheese, chocolate, espresso, and lady-fingers. Instead, you take a half-cup of low-fat ricotta and stir in a few teaspoons of unsweetened cocoa powder, some slivered almonds, and a packet of sugar substitute.

You can ask for them in separate dishes and make your own dessert, using 3 teaspoons of ice cream topped by the fresh fruit. If only the most decadent chocolate cake will suffice, go ahead and order it—along with enough forks for everyone at the table. Have three bites only and eat them as slowly as possible. Then send the rest away with the first passing busboy. Try this experiment at home: Have three bites of any dessert, then stop and put the rest aside for a few minutes. You'll see that it was just as satisfying as eating the whole thing. And you'll still respect yourself in the morning.

They not only lived on an abundance of fresh fruit and vegetables, but they included fish, fowl and some meat in their diet. So you see I have tried to be as fair as I could about this question of Vegetarianism versus Meat Eating. I feel that as we cleanse and purify our bodies we develop a keen sense of what is healthiest and best for us to eat. Nutrition directly affects growth, development, reproduction, well-being and an individual's physical and mental condition. Health depends upon nutrition more than on any other single factor. - Dr. Wm. H. Sebrell, Jr.

Following the fast, I had him eat only fresh fruit for breakfast and a raw vegetable combination salad for lunch. I had him eat a grated carrot, beet, chopped cabbage salad and one cooked vegetable for dinner. I took him off all animal products, meat, fish, eggs, cheese and dairy products. I eliminated all salt, sugar and refined foods. I took him off all grains and all legumes such as beans, peas, rice and lentils for two months. Every day I had him take a 10 minute hot bath (add 1 cup apple cider vinegar), bringing the water up to 104 degrees, using a bath thermometer.
