What I gotta do

Eat every three (3) hours.
Type O blood so I need protein (2-3 ounces) every three hours.
100 ounces of water a day at a minimum.
NO SUGAR. (plus no artificial sweeteners as they intensify sugar cravings)
NO DIARY. (sob, sob, sob)
NO WHITE flour, sugar, bread, rice etc.
Right now no grains of any kind.
Must have one large dark leafy green herb organic salad a day.
Use EVOO and Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar for the dressing.
Boards head is the best kind of meat to buy.
Every morning - 4 oz heated water with 1/2 a lemon in it. (for the liver)
Choose only real fats - evoo, butter, coconut oil, nut oil. Fats are good and they will help lower the glycemic index of the food being absorbed.
Walnuts, nut butter with no sugar.
That protein can be nuts or nut butter on celery that is needed every 3 hours.
Exercise...up to 30 minutes every day once the doctor gives me the ok.
1 tbsp of extra virgin coconut oil everyday. I did not know they had that. I have a feeling that will be expensive.

That is just the basics...there is more to come. Trying to find references to link to from this site. OH boy.


****************CLARIFICATION******************

This is my notes from the meeting. I have pages and pages and now a book about the actual plan and these are highlights that are not in that plan. There is so much information it is kind of overwhelming. But I am making it through. All of the plans I can find have some type of cereal for breakfast. I can have none of that. NONE. No grains, rice, wheat, etc etc. So I have been trying to figure out what I am supposed to have with no cereal and no milk. Well I called my nutritionist and asked her. She promptly said whatever you eat the rest of the day. SHE IS RIGHT! Why is there a mold that says for breakfast we have to have this. Dinner the night before becomes breakfast. Of course and omelet with tomatoes and peppers, mushrooms and onions, turkey bacon (no pork) can always be a great start or a hard boiled egg and a piece of fruit. I like the way this lady thinks.

No mother I do not have to do all these at once. These are changes and she knows I am on a budget. :)

  3. I had too...she gave me homework. I did not know that this came with homework but I guess I had better stay on top of it.
