I. INTRODUCTION
The Nutritional Balancing Diet. Development, which is fulfilling the full genetic potential of a human being, is the primary goal of nutritional balancing programs. This is quite different than other nutrition and healing programs, so the diet recommendations are also different. Certain foods contain the right chemicals needed for development. These foods are needed on a daily basis. This article discusses these foods. To understand development, read Introduction To Development and One Hundred Reasons For Development. We continue to research diet, so this article may be updated periodically. Please check it every six months. Purees. Pureeing vegetables after cooking makes them much easier to eat for many people. After your vegetables are cooked, pour off the water you cooked them in so you can drink it. Then use a hand blender or a food processor to mash up the vegetables. The hand blender does not require adding water to the vegetables. After pureeing, add a little sea salt and other seasoning, if you wish, such as a little butter or herbs. Do not use a regular blender because you have to add a lot of water, which is not as good because the water dilutes the stomach acid. |
Nine Servings of Vegetables
My NEW Cookbook for the Nutritional Balancing Diet to Eliminate Toxic Metals, Balance your Biochemistry, and Prevent Disease |
THE MAJOR RULES FOR CLIENTS WANTING RAPID DEVELOPMENT ON THE PROGRAM
1. Eat well-cooked vegetables with breakfast, lunch and supper. This means eat three meals a day. It also means do not eat just grains and meats, mainly chemicalized food such as fast food, or much raw vegetables (salads).
Ideally, adults should at least 2 cups of well-cooked vegetables with each meal. It is best if they are fresh and not canned or frozen, although canned is actually better than frozen. Organically grown is usually superior, as well.
Vegetables need to be pressure-cooked for no more than 2 minutes and 40 seconds or steamed, boiled or slow-cooked for no more than about 45 minutes.
2. Eat only whole, natural foods. This means: NO protein powders, NO green drinks, smoothies or shakes, NO juices except 10-12 ounces of carrot or wheat grass juice away from meals, NO eggs whites only, NO Egg Beaters and NO food bars. See the references at the end of this article for the reasons for these restrictions.
3. Eat animal protein twice every day. This means that for rapid development, do not eat a vegetarian diet. Animal protein includes red meat such as lamb, goat, some organic beef, poultry, sardines, eggs and a little goat yogurt.
However, limit the portion size for adults to 4-5 ounces or 110-140 grams of animal protein per serving, and no more.
4. Eat warming foods only. All food tends to either warm the body or cool it down. These are physics qualities. Warming means faster motion of the atoms and molecules. It is also more compact, with more inward and downward movement of subtle energy. Some teachings use other equivalent words such as yang and yin in Chinese medicine and Macrobiotics.
Warming foods includes meats, eggs, cooked vegetables, and whole grains. Other foods such as fruit, raw vegetables, most juices, all food powders, and sweets of all kinds tend to cool the body and this slows development.
For this reason, do not eat sugar, honey, maple syrup, agave nectar, coconut products such as coconut water, coconut cream or coconut milk, soda pop, fruit juice or much fruit or milk. Also, do not eat sweetened foods such as cookies, cakes, ice cream, pastries, all desserts, and many breads.
5. Do not drink any liquids with meals. This means have drinking water before your meal, then wait five minutes or longer before you eat your meal. It also means take your supplements before your meal if you need to have some water to swallow them. Then wait five minutes and then eat your meal.
It also means do not have smoothies, protein drinks, superfood drinks, frappes or any other drinks that combine water or other liquids with food. If you have carrot juice, have it alone. Then wait at least half an hour before eating a meal.
6. Use sea salt with all meals, preferably Hain or Hawaiian Bamboo Jade brands. (If you know of any other good brands, please let me know). This means do not avoid sea salt and do not use salt substitutes such as potassium chloride. Sea salt in moderation does not raise blood pressure or cause other problems. It also means do not use any standard table salt, which is a processed and toxic product.

Other Purposes of this Diet
These are to remineralize the body with the alkaline reserve minerals, to detoxify the body, to improve digestion and to make the body more yang.
SLOW AND FAST OXIDIZER
Fast and slow oxidizers. The diets for fast and slow oxidizers are similar with the following exceptions:
Slow oxidizers require less fat and should get enough fat and oils in their diet without adding extra fat to their food. High-fat foods in the Nutritional Balancing Diet are:
Carbohydrates or starches. Fast oxidizers require less carbohydrate than slow oxidizers. However, both slow and fast oxidizers need at least a few blue corn chips every meal. However, do not overdo on corn chips, which is easy to do. Limit the number to about 8-10 per meal. If you are still hungry, add more vegetables to your diet rather than fill up on corn chips or other grains.
Other grains don't do so well on the program. If you are to eat some grains, such as amaranth, oats, millet, popcorn, rice, limit the amount to 1/2 cup to 1 cup and only once or twice a week.
AVOID coconut oil and avocado oil. They are too yin.
VARYING THE DIET DEPENDING ON ONE’S HEIGHT, WEIGHT AND LIFESTYLE
The portion sizes recommended below are average sizes. If you are very small or very large, you can adjust the portion size accordingly. However, we find that most adults need several cups of cooked vegetables three times per day, regardless of their size or weight.
These are to remineralize the body with the alkaline reserve minerals, to detoxify the body, to improve digestion and to make the body more yang.
SLOW AND FAST OXIDIZER
Fast and slow oxidizers. The diets for fast and slow oxidizers are similar with the following exceptions:
Slow oxidizers require less fat and should get enough fat and oils in their diet without adding extra fat to their food. High-fat foods in the Nutritional Balancing Diet are:
- almond butter
- sesame tahini
- oil found in blue corn chips
- sardines
- Meats (mainly lamb, dark meat chicken, and organic ground beef. Wild game and turkey have a little fat, but not much)
- eggs (specifically egg yolk)
- goat yogurt or goat kefir
- a small amount of butter or olive oil used in cooking.
Carbohydrates or starches. Fast oxidizers require less carbohydrate than slow oxidizers. However, both slow and fast oxidizers need at least a few blue corn chips every meal.

HOW TO EAT
Purity and Quality
Eat real, natural food that is free of chemical additives, preservatives and other chemicals.
If possible, eat fresh, organically grown food, although some commercially grown food is fine. Avoid hydroponically grown food, which is nutritionally inferior and contains chemicals, no matter what the label states.
Frozen vegetables are not working very well. Canned vegetables are actually working better than frozen ones, although fresh is best.
Other Food Articles

2. Forbidden Food
COOKED VEGETABLES
Eat 2-3 cups or 500-700 ml (volume) of cooked vegetables with each meal, three times daily. Measure the amount of vegetables you eat in the cooked state, not the raw state. This amount is needed to remineralize the body. This is the most important part of the diet, and the one with which most people have the most difficulty.
Food is much less nutritious today than it was 100 years ago. This is why many more cooked vegetables are needed today. For details, read Everyone Is Depleted And Toxic.
Vegetables must be cooked until they are soft, not crunchy or al dente. Otherwise, the body cannot absorb enough minerals from them.
Eat almost exclusively the preferred vegetables listed below.
Eat a medley or mixture of 10 or more of the preferred vegetables with each meal. This is new and replaces an older recommendation to eat between about 5 and 9 different vegetables per meal.
II. DAILY FOODS FOR ADULTS
The Vegetables Are:
NOTE: If you don’t eat meat or only very small amount, then you need to eat more green vegetables to obtain iron, which can be found on the list for occasional food.
Other vegetables do not contain much of the chemicals needed for development, so eat them only occasionally about two or three times a week.
If you are one to believe that being a vegetarian or vegan is a biblical doctrine. Please read 1 Timothy, Chapter 4 (KJV)

II. DAILY FOODS FOR ADULTS
The Vegetables Are:
- onions (red, white, yellow, sweet, green or scallions, leeks, shallots, white pearl, red pearl, gold pearl, white boiler, and cipolline). Add only small amount of ginger and garlic, a few times a week.
- carrots
- rutabaga
- daikon
- Brussels sprouts
- baby broccoli (also called broccolet or broccolini)
- red cabbage
- Savoy cabbage
- cauliflower (white, orange or purple)
- green beans, (or string beans)
- Some golden beets, celery.
NOTE: If you don’t eat meat or only very small amount, then you need to eat more green vegetables to obtain iron, which can be found on the list for occasional food.
Other vegetables do not contain much of the chemicals needed for development, so eat them only occasionally about two or three times a week.
If you are one to believe that being a vegetarian or vegan is a biblical doctrine. Please read 1 Timothy, Chapter 4 (KJV)
4 1. Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.
4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:
5 For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.
6 If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained...
PROTEIN FOODS
The protein food for daily use is:
Blue corn tortilla chips or blue corn dippers are the best grain food for development. Eat about three medium-sized bags per week. See below if you have difficulty eating blue corn.
Other grains are not very good and should be eaten on occasion.
AVOID all wheat and spelt products and all refined grains.
Also avoid all raw grain products such as granola, muesli and trail mix. Also, avoid blue corn chips made with coconut oil. The oil is too yin and slightly toxic.
FATS & OILS
For slow oxidizers. Do not add extra fat to your daily diet. There should be enough fat and oils in the daily diet. Foods that contain fat that are excellent for slow oxidizers are lamb, sardines, eggs, blue corn chips, dark meat chicken, almond butter, tahini and some organic ground beef. Please eat these foods or your diet will be too low in fat.
For Fast Oxidizers. Add 1 or ideally 2 tablespoons of extra fat per meal. Acceptable fats and oils are butter, cream, tallow, lamb fat, olive oil (but do not cook olive oil because it turns toxic), and a little of other vegetable oils.
AVOID coconut oil and avocado oil. They are too yin.
OTHER FOODS
Natural sea salt. This is an excellent product and required on the diet. The recommended brand at this time is Hawaiian Bamboo Jade sea salt. It is sold via the internet. You may have this salt to taste.
Avoid all fruit, all sweets, all chemicalized food, and all sugars, honey and maple syrup. Also avoid most processed food.
Eat only whole, natural foods. This means: NO protein powders, NO green drinks, smoothies or shakes, NO juices except 10-12 ounces of carrot or wheat grass juice away from meals, NO eggs whites only, NO Egg Beaters and NO food bars.
See the references at the end of this article for the reasons for these restrictions.
BEVERAGES
Drinking water. The best types of water to drink are natural spring water or carbon-only or sand-filtered only tap water if it is safe to drink in your area. Sparkling water (with bubbles) is okay.
Avoid distilled water, de-ionized water, and reverse osmosis water, as these contain very few minerals. Do not add minerals to water because it tends to unbalance the water. Also, avoid alkaline water. This is any water with a pH above about 8.8. These waters will make you feel better for a while. However, they are a fake way to alkalinize the body. For details, read Water For Drinking.
Bone Broth. The only one that is acceptable at this time is beef bone broth. The others may be contaminated with lead.
Carrot Juice. Adults may have 10-12 ounces of carrot juice daily. As an alternative, you may have 1 or 2 ounces of fresh wheat grass juice up to twice per week.
Tea and coffee. One cup of regular coffee and one cup herbal tea daily is okay, but not needed. Good teas are chamomile, hibiscus or lemon grass.
AVOID soda pop, alcohol, kombucha, other juices, and other beverages.
III. DETAILS ABOUT EACH GROUP OF FOODS
IN GENERAL
Do not cook often with oil. This generates toxic chemicals that are very hard on the liver.
Raw vegetables are not recommended because they are much more yin.
Salads can be used on occasion as a side dish with your cooked vegetables.
AVOID microwave ovens. Occasional deep-frying, roasting or barbequeing is okay. However, these methods use high heat that generates toxic chemicals.
Reasons for Cooking:
A. Cooking reduces the amount of a few vitamins in foods. However, it greatly increases the availability of the minerals in food by breaking down tough vegetable and other fibers. The latter is far more important.
B. It increases the Etheric Energy of most food, and makes the food more yang. Both benefits are extremely important for development.
C. It concentrates vegetables, allowing one to eat more of the them.
D. It kills many bacteria and parasites on vegetables and other foods.
VEGETABLES
Chicken. Chicken thighs or legs are the best part of the chicken. Chicken breast is the least desirable.
Chicken thighs or legs require about 3 minutes of cooking in a pressure cooker if you remove the skin and put a few cuts in the meat so it is thinner.
Sardines. Most brands are okay. However, at this time, do not use Chicken Of The Sea brand. They are overcooked, for some reason.
Toasted or roasted almond butter (these are the same). When you buy almond butter, mix the oil into the butter to form a consistent mixture. Do not pour off the oil.
Eat your almond butter first, ideally before you eat your vegetables or grain. About two tablespoons per day is the right amount. Eat it alone with a spoon or put it over vegetables as a topping. Eat the topping first, ideally, when you sit down to eat.
Beware of the expiration date on almond butter because it will go rancid and will taste bitter. Throw it away in this case.
Some stores allow you to make almond butter fresh. This is good. Do not eat raw almond butter.
Roasted Tahini or hummus. Have one tablespoon daily of roasted sesame tahini or two tablespoons daily of hummus. Do not eat a lot of tahini or hummus, however, as it is quite yin.
Lamb. Lamb chops take about 3-4 minutes in a pressure cooker if you put a cut or two in it so it is thinner. It takes about 10 minutes or so in a toaster oven or steamed. All kinds of lamb are fine.
The flavor is valuable omega-3 fatty acids, so try to get used to it. You could add a little herb or spice to cover up the flavor, if needed. However, do not use a lot of herbs in your cooking. They are too yin and some are a little toxic.
Goat. A little goat meat once a week is acceptable.
Eggs. Men may have only up to 8 eggs per week. Women may have only up to 6 eggs per week. Children may have fewer eggs, depending upon their size. Do not overeat on eggs, as many people do.
Farm fresh eggs are best. Cage-free and organic should be better, and usually they are.
Wild game. Foods such as deer, elk, caribou and others are also a good source of protein.
Goat yogurt or goat kefir. This contains some of the chemicals needed for development. We recommend a container about once or twice a week.
DETAILS ABOUT GRAIN FOODS
We wish we did not have to recommend blue corn chips. Corn has a high glycemic index and some people are allergic to corn. These problems improve if one follow the diet we recommend.
However, we find the bodies require chemicals found in blue corn and the frying process actually locks in certain nutrients. Making blue corn cereal or blue corn tortillas is possible, but time-consuming. So for now, this is the best compromise.
Warning about rice. There seems to be something wrong with all rice today, even organically grown rice. For this reason, avoid eating much rice or rice pasta.
Some people think it is best to avoid grains altogether. This is usually not best. Blue corn contains chemicals needed for development. If you cannot eat blue corn at all, eat some oats, millet, amaranth or quinoa.
DETAILS ABOUT FATS AND OILS
Butter. Butter is an acceptable food in moderation. Note that it is too yin to be used in large amounts.
Cream. Fresh heavy cream is an excellent fat, especially for children, who usually love it and will eat vegetables if you put some cream on them.
Cream is best unpasteurized. However, it is okay if you can only buy pasteurized cream. Organic cream is usually better than standard cream.
Vegetable oils. Slow oxidizers should not add any vegetable oils to their diet. Fast oxidizers can use some olive oil or other grain or seed oils.
AVOID tropical oils such as avocado, coconut, and palm oils. They are too yin except for occasional use, even though they are nutritious.
DETAILS ABOUT OTHER FOODS AND BEVERAGES
Sea Salt. Natural sea salt does not raise blood pressure when used in moderation. It provides many essential minerals. Celtic Salt is not quite as good because it is from a contaminated area of the ocean.
IV. OTHER TOPICS
Fermented foods. Fermented foods are not needed for development. All of them are too yin and do not contain the chemicals needed for development. Many contain aldehydes, which are liver toxins. Those allowed as occasional foods only are a little sauerkraut, miso, yogurt, kefir and raw cheese.
Seasoning. Ideally, pressure-cook all food together (vegetables and protein) for about 3-5 minutes, without adding salt or spices. After cooking, add sea salt and perhaps a little spice, if desired, for flavoring.
Toppings. These are not needed. However, you can make your own toppings, such as curry sauce.
Other simple, tasty toppings are almond butter, a little pesto sauce, a little hummus, or some grated cheese. For children, cream is delicious mixed with cooked vegetables.
Snacks. Ideally, do not snack, as it is hard on digestion. It would be better to have another small meal, instead of snacking.
If you must have a snack, it can be a few blue corn chips, leftover vegetables and protein, a little almond butter, hummus, a sardine or a piece of chicken jerky.
Treats. For these, read Food For Occasional Use.
Home-made formula. Babies should ideally have breast milk until age 3 or even a little longer if they want it.
If a baby cannot get breast milk or perhaps goat milk, use home-made formula. For the recipe, read Baby Formula You Make At Home.
Avoid all commercial baby formula.
Quantity of food. Portion size will vary somewhat with each person’s age, height and lifestyle. Eating more is okay as long as you maintain the correct proportions of food – about 70% cooked vegetables. Also, do not overload your stomach and eat the right foods.
Order of eating foods. If your meal contains protein, it is best to eat all the protein first. Then eat your cooked vegetables. Finally, if you are still hungry, you may have a few blue corn chips with the meal.
Proportions. 70% of each meal by volume (not calories) should be cooked vegetables. About 15% of so should be protein food. Fast oxidizers need one or two tablespoons of fat in addition to that which is in their food. Slow oxidizers should not need additional fat.
Food combining. The basis for each meal is cooked vegetables. With this, you may have one protein food OR one type of grain food.
For example, do not mix meat and eggs at one meal, as these are both proteins. Also, do not mix rice and corn tortillas at the same meal, as these are both starches.
Spices and dressings. Refrain from putting a lot of dressings, sauces, relishes, sweeteners and spices on your food. A little is fine to flavor the food. Too much can upset digestion.
Number of meals. Eat at least three meals daily. Do not skip meals. It is difficult to obtain enough nutrients eating three meals daily. It is even less possible if you skip meals.
If you are not very hungry, eat by the clock, if needed. Do not wait until you are hungry, as some health authorities suggest. If you are not hungry, still try to eat at least three meals daily.
Variety. Rotate your vegetable foods among the preferred vegetables listed at the beginning of this article. Also, rotate your proteins, and the brands of spring water you drink.
Leftovers. You may have one day of leftovers. Making a large quantity of food and freezing it is not as good.
Eating out. We don’t recommend eating out because often it is difficult to obtain the correct vegetables. Chinese, Thai and East Indian restaurants often serve the most vegetables.
Avoid fast food restaurants and most chain restaurants because the quality is not as good.
At a restaurant, ask the waiter to take away the bread, and ask for extra portions of cooked vegetables. Ask for exactly what you want.
The protein food for daily use is:
- Dark Meat Chicken (Thighs or Legs) Eat three or four 4-5 ounce portions weekly. Natural or free-range chicken is generally best.
- Turkey (up to two times per week)
- Eggs (soft boiled only) (only up to 6 per week for women and only up to 8 per week for men)
- Sardines ( 3 to 4 cans weekly)
- Lamb (up to twice or three times per week) (red meat is up to 4x/weekly - you can either have goat, beef, or wild game)
- Goat (only once a week)
- Wild game, but not bison or buffalo
- Heirloom, grass-fed or organic beef. All adults and children can have a few ounces, cooked rare, two times per week. Regular beef is just an occasional food.
- Goat yogurt or kefir (only up to 4 ounces daily). Other dairy products are all foods for occasional use only.
- Toasted or roasted almond butter (Preferably organically grown. Eat two tablespoons daily)
- Roasted tahini (or roasted sesame butter) or hummus made with roasted tahini. Hummus is a little easier to eat than just tahini. Have 1 tablespoon daily of tahini or two tablespoons of hummus daily.
- AVOID organ meats, all pig products and processed meats. These are more toxic and not needed. (If you are a Christian this is not necessary but make sure to buy only organic products and that pigs are well raised. Myself I don't eat pig products at this time).
- Beans such as black beans, pinto beans, kidney beans and others are occasional foods only, like once or twice a week.
- Lentils are an occasional food and should not be eaten more than once or twice a week.
Blue corn tortilla chips or blue corn dippers are the best grain food for development. Eat about three medium-sized bags per week. See below if you have difficulty eating blue corn.
Other grains are not very good and should be eaten on occasion.
AVOID all wheat and spelt products and all refined grains.
Also avoid all raw grain products such as granola, muesli and trail mix. Also, avoid blue corn chips made with coconut oil. The oil is too yin and slightly toxic.

AVOID soda pop, alcohol, kombucha, other juices, and other beverages.
III. DETAILS ABOUT EACH GROUP OF FOODS
IN GENERAL
- Fresh food is definitely best. Eat frozen or canned vegetables only if you cannot obtain them fresh. Organically grown is also usually best. However, this is not too critical if you cannot find it or cannot afford it.
- Local food should be fresher, which is good. However, be sure it is not sprayed with poisons, as is commonly the case.
- Eating habits. Eat slowly, chew thoroughly, sit down when eating, and eat in a relaxed, quiet environment. Ideally, rest a few minutes before your meals, and rest at least 10 minutes after each meal. Avoid eating while driving, when upset, or in noisy places.
- Do not drink liquid with meals, other than a little bit needed to take your supplements.
- Cooking. Pressure-cooking is best. If you are in a hurry and do not like to cook, pressure cooking is the fastest way to go. If vegetables are cut into bite-sized chunks or thin slices (rutabaga and cauliflower stems), most are ready to eat in about 3 minutes when cooked in a pressure-cooker. For details, read Pressure-Cooking.
Do not cook often with oil. This generates toxic chemicals that are very hard on the liver.
Raw vegetables are not recommended because they are much more yin.
Salads can be used on occasion as a side dish with your cooked vegetables.
AVOID microwave ovens. Occasional deep-frying, roasting or barbequeing is okay. However, these methods use high heat that generates toxic chemicals.

A. Cooking reduces the amount of a few vitamins in foods. However, it greatly increases the availability of the minerals in food by breaking down tough vegetable and other fibers. The latter is far more important.
B. It increases the Etheric Energy of most food, and makes the food more yang. Both benefits are extremely important for development.
C. It concentrates vegetables, allowing one to eat more of the them.
D. It kills many bacteria and parasites on vegetables and other foods.
VEGETABLES
- Fresh, organically grown vegetables are best. Commercially grown ones are okay, too. The next best type right now are canned vegetables. Frozen vegetables appear not as good for development, so do not eat them, if possible.
- Cook all vegetables until they are soft. This usually requires about 3 minutes in a pressure-cooker or 30-40 minutes in a steamer or crock pot. AVOID raw, crunchy or al dente vegetables.
- Eat 2-3 cups or 500-700 ml (volume) of cooked vegetables with each meal, three times daily. Measure the amount of vegetables you eat in the cooked state, not the raw state. This amount is needed to remineralize the body.
- Eat a small amount of 12 to 18 kinds of the vegetables mentioned above for each meal. Below are hints for doing so easily and quickly.
- When buying vegetables, ideally buy smaller ones because these tend to be more yang.
- Store vegetables in the type of plastic bags in one buys them. This will keep them fresher.
- Do not put much herbs or spices on your vegetables, although some of it is okay especially when starting the diet. Add sea salt.
- If you pressure-cook or braise or steam vegetables, consider drinking the water in which you cooked the vegetables. Drink it 10-15 minutes before you eat your meal, or at least an hour after the meal, however, so as not to dilute the digestive juices.
- Ideally, cook vegetables for each of three meals. However, it is okay to cook vegetables just once or twice daily. They will keep throughout the day. Ideally, do not keep them overnight, although leftovers for one day are okay.
- Shop for vegetables every few days or at least twice weekly.
- Eat mainly the preferred vegetables listed above. Do not eat a lot of any other vegetables, including leafy greens (this is a new rule). They do not provide enough of the chemicals needed for development.
- We suggest eating some carrot, rutabaga and daikon with each meal. Also, try to have at least 3 kinds of onions per meal. The other vegetables can be rotated.
- Eat protein two or three times daily. This can mean some protein with every meal. One can also have protein with two meals, and then have a protein snack. This could be leftover chicken, two tablespoons of almond butter, sardines, a piece of cheese or one or two eggs.
- Have animal quality protein only twice daily. Twice daily is best for most people. Portion size for adults is 4-5 ounces or about 100-150 grams of protein food (not grams of protein) per serving.
- Eat red meat (lamb, goat, wild game or beef) only two or three times per week.
- Cook all protein food. Sardines in a can are already cooked and should not be cooked more.
- Ideally, cook all protein food in a pressure-cooker. The fast cooking causes less damage to the food. You may also steam, crock pot, bake or stir-fry food. Add sea salt after cooking.
- Do not cook cheese.
- Ideally, eat protein food first. Then eat your cooked vegetables a few minutes afterwards. Then eat a few blue corn chips.
- Goat yogurt or goat kefir. This contains some of the chemicals needed for development, and I have been making my own kefir for the last 8 months. Dr. Wilson, although was not a fan of kefir or full fat yogurt, he now recommends a container about once or twice a week.
- Protein must always be chewed well.
Chicken. Chicken thighs or legs are the best part of the chicken. Chicken breast is the least desirable.
Chicken thighs or legs require about 3 minutes of cooking in a pressure cooker if you remove the skin and put a few cuts in the meat so it is thinner.
Sardines. Most brands are okay. However, at this time, do not use Chicken Of The Sea brand. They are overcooked, for some reason.
Toasted or roasted almond butter (these are the same). When you buy almond butter, mix the oil into the butter to form a consistent mixture. Do not pour off the oil.
Eat your almond butter first, ideally before you eat your vegetables or grain. About two tablespoons per day is the right amount. Eat it alone with a spoon or put it over vegetables as a topping. Eat the topping first, ideally, when you sit down to eat.
Beware of the expiration date on almond butter because it will go rancid and will taste bitter. Throw it away in this case.
Some stores allow you to make almond butter fresh. This is good. Do not eat raw almond butter.
Roasted Tahini or hummus. Have one tablespoon daily of roasted sesame tahini or two tablespoons daily of hummus. Do not eat a lot of tahini or hummus, however, as it is quite yin.
Lamb. Lamb chops take about 3-4 minutes in a pressure cooker if you put a cut or two in it so it is thinner. It takes about 10 minutes or so in a toaster oven or steamed. All kinds of lamb are fine.
The flavor is valuable omega-3 fatty acids, so try to get used to it. You could add a little herb or spice to cover up the flavor, if needed. However, do not use a lot of herbs in your cooking. They are too yin and some are a little toxic.
Goat. A little goat meat once a week is acceptable.
Eggs. Men may have only up to 8 eggs per week. Women may have only up to 6 eggs per week. Children may have fewer eggs, depending upon their size. Do not overeat on eggs, as many people do.
Farm fresh eggs are best. Cage-free and organic should be better, and usually they are.
Wild game. Foods such as deer, elk, caribou and others are also a good source of protein.
Goat yogurt or goat kefir. This contains some of the chemicals needed for development. We recommend a container about once or twice a week.
DETAILS ABOUT GRAIN FOODS
We wish we did not have to recommend blue corn chips. Corn has a high glycemic index and some people are allergic to corn. These problems improve if one follow the diet we recommend.
However, we find the bodies require chemicals found in blue corn and the frying process actually locks in certain nutrients. Making blue corn cereal or blue corn tortillas is possible, but time-consuming. So for now, this is the best compromise.
Warning about rice. There seems to be something wrong with all rice today, even organically grown rice. For this reason, avoid eating much rice or rice pasta.
Some people think it is best to avoid grains altogether. This is usually not best. Blue corn contains chemicals needed for development. If you cannot eat blue corn at all, eat some oats, millet, amaranth or quinoa.
DETAILS ABOUT FATS AND OILS
Butter. Butter is an acceptable food in moderation. Note that it is too yin to be used in large amounts.
Cream. Fresh heavy cream is an excellent fat, especially for children, who usually love it and will eat vegetables if you put some cream on them.
Cream is best unpasteurized. However, it is okay if you can only buy pasteurized cream. Organic cream is usually better than standard cream.
Vegetable oils. Slow oxidizers should not add any vegetable oils to their diet. Fast oxidizers can use some olive oil or other grain or seed oils.
AVOID tropical oils such as avocado, coconut, and palm oils. They are too yin except for occasional use, even though they are nutritious.
DETAILS ABOUT OTHER FOODS AND BEVERAGES
Sea Salt. Natural sea salt does not raise blood pressure when used in moderation. It provides many essential minerals. Celtic Salt is not quite as good because it is from a contaminated area of the ocean.
IV. OTHER TOPICS
Fermented foods. Fermented foods are not needed for development. All of them are too yin and do not contain the chemicals needed for development. Many contain aldehydes, which are liver toxins. Those allowed as occasional foods only are a little sauerkraut, miso, yogurt, kefir and raw cheese.
Seasoning. Ideally, pressure-cook all food together (vegetables and protein) for about 3-5 minutes, without adding salt or spices. After cooking, add sea salt and perhaps a little spice, if desired, for flavoring.
Toppings. These are not needed. However, you can make your own toppings, such as curry sauce.
Other simple, tasty toppings are almond butter, a little pesto sauce, a little hummus, or some grated cheese. For children, cream is delicious mixed with cooked vegetables.
Snacks. Ideally, do not snack, as it is hard on digestion. It would be better to have another small meal, instead of snacking.
If you must have a snack, it can be a few blue corn chips, leftover vegetables and protein, a little almond butter, hummus, a sardine or a piece of chicken jerky.
Treats. For these, read Food For Occasional Use.
Home-made formula. Babies should ideally have breast milk until age 3 or even a little longer if they want it.
If a baby cannot get breast milk or perhaps goat milk, use home-made formula. For the recipe, read Baby Formula You Make At Home.
Avoid all commercial baby formula.
Quantity of food. Portion size will vary somewhat with each person’s age, height and lifestyle. Eating more is okay as long as you maintain the correct proportions of food – about 70% cooked vegetables. Also, do not overload your stomach and eat the right foods.
Order of eating foods. If your meal contains protein, it is best to eat all the protein first. Then eat your cooked vegetables. Finally, if you are still hungry, you may have a few blue corn chips with the meal.
Proportions. 70% of each meal by volume (not calories) should be cooked vegetables. About 15% of so should be protein food. Fast oxidizers need one or two tablespoons of fat in addition to that which is in their food. Slow oxidizers should not need additional fat.
Food combining. The basis for each meal is cooked vegetables. With this, you may have one protein food OR one type of grain food.
For example, do not mix meat and eggs at one meal, as these are both proteins. Also, do not mix rice and corn tortillas at the same meal, as these are both starches.
Spices and dressings. Refrain from putting a lot of dressings, sauces, relishes, sweeteners and spices on your food. A little is fine to flavor the food. Too much can upset digestion.
Number of meals. Eat at least three meals daily. Do not skip meals. It is difficult to obtain enough nutrients eating three meals daily. It is even less possible if you skip meals.
If you are not very hungry, eat by the clock, if needed. Do not wait until you are hungry, as some health authorities suggest. If you are not hungry, still try to eat at least three meals daily.
Variety. Rotate your vegetable foods among the preferred vegetables listed at the beginning of this article. Also, rotate your proteins, and the brands of spring water you drink.
Leftovers. You may have one day of leftovers. Making a large quantity of food and freezing it is not as good.
Eating out. We don’t recommend eating out because often it is difficult to obtain the correct vegetables. Chinese, Thai and East Indian restaurants often serve the most vegetables.
Avoid fast food restaurants and most chain restaurants because the quality is not as good.
At a restaurant, ask the waiter to take away the bread, and ask for extra portions of cooked vegetables. Ask for exactly what you want.
