The Importance of Purity
It is important that the food you do ingest is pure and organic. Part of what robbed your body of its natural supply of HCG in the first place is the chemical adulterants, preservatives and pesticides contained in most commercially available foods. The same is true of liquids; as much as possible, you should avoid plain tap water and make certain your coffee and tea is made from purified water.
Getting Started on the Diet
In the morning you’ll be restricted to unsweetened, organic black coffee or plain tea (milk or cream is not an option). You have a few options when it comes to tea:
- wu-long
- chamomile
- green
- yerba mate
Again, it is important that the water used has been filtered and purified to remove any contaminants such as chlorine or fluoride, both of which are common in typical city water supplies.
Let’s Do Lunch (And Dinner)
In developing his program, Dr. Simeons identified certain proteins that aid in restoring balance to the body. These lean meats should be of the organic free-range type. Free-range, organic beef and poultry are available at specialty grocery stores and are substantially more expensive than its conventionally raised counterpart, but you won’t be eating much of it.
The other protein option is fish, but you need to avoid types that are high in mercury. Deep-sea cold-water fish such as wild salmon or Icelandic cod are the best choices.
Of course, you will need your helping of fruits and vegetables as well. Along with your meat serving, you can choose any one of the following:
- spinach
- tomato
- cucumber
- cabbage
- celery
Remember that you must not add any kind of fat (such as butter or oil) nor fry these foods. They may be grilled, boiled, baked or steamed.
Fruit choices include:
- apple
- grapefruit
- strawberries
You may not add sugar to the strawberries or grapefruit.
As is the case with the meats, your fruit and vegetables should be organic.
Something to Keep in Mind
It’s vitally important to make certain that your diet is sufficiently varied from one day to the next. For example, if you eat salmon and spinach for lunch, you’ll want to have chicken and cucumbers for dinner, then beef and tomatoes for lunch the following day.
Because your body is burning fat at a prodigious rate, you should not be feeling excessive hunger, despite the minuscule amounts you are allowed to eat. If you do feel hungry however, feel free to knock back all the coffee, tea and water you like.
