Let me start out by stating that I am not a fan a dieting! Going on a calorie restrictive is a waste of time and energy! 

It is far more important to focus on nutritional density of each food group than it is to worry about caloric content. 

 

Foods can be a stressor to the immune system if the wrong types of foods are consumed and if the wrong quantity of food is consumed. In addition, food stress can be triggered if you are chronically consuming the same food types on a daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly basis( not a good thing!).

 

 

How Does it Work?

 

Foods that are least reactive are best tolerated and therefore receive that highest priority in your food plan. The goal is eliminate all symptoms not intensify or create more. If you are not sure about a specific food group it would be in your best interest to avoid it. Please take a look at the below charts. It is divided into phases 1-6. More specifics on the various phases will be discussed during your private consultation, however, I will briefly give a cliff notes version of the phases. In viewing the chart you will notice that are a variety of foods in each category:

 

• Protein

• Starches

• Fruits

• Dairy

• Oils

• Vegetables

• Flavor Enhancers 

 

Within each phase there are different choices of foods from  each category. It has been discovered that eating the same foods day in and day out can cause food intolerances which will lead to a cascade of metabolic disorders, not to mention it is down right boring to eat the same food every day! You will be rotating foods every 4 days.
