A TRADITIONAL DIET
FOOD FOR OCCASIONAL USE
ON THE NUTRITIONAL PROGRAM
Warning: Eat the preferred vegetables listed in the Food For Daily Use article.
Eat all other vegetables, including other greens, only on occasion, up to twice a week.
NOTE: if you do not eat meat, then you must eat more green vegetables to obtain iron. However, eating meat is preferable.
If you are one to believe that being a vegetarian or vegan is a biblical doctrine. Please read 1st Epistle of St Paul to Timothy.

[4.1] Now the Spirit manifestly saith, that in the last times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to spirits of error, and doctrines of devils,
[2] Speaking lies in hypocrisy, and having their conscience seared, [3] Forbidding to marry, to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving by the faithful, and by them that have known the truth. [4] For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be rejected that is received with thanksgiving: [5] For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer. |
I. INTRODUCTION
REMEMBER THE FIVE MAJOR RULES
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 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.
3. Do not eat sweets.
This means 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. It also means do not eat sweetened foods such as cookies, cakes, ice cream, pastries, all desserts, and many breads.
4. 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.
5. Use sea salt with all meals, preferably Hawaiian Bamboo Jade brands.
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.

The dietary advice below is to balance your biochemistry.
For this purpose, foods are divided into three groups. These are:
1. Food For Daily Use.
2. Food For occasional use (The subject of this article).
3. Forbidden Foods.

II. FOOD FOR OCCASIONAL USE
Fast and Slow Oxidizers. The foods listed below are okay for both those with a fast or a slow oxidation rate.
However, Fast Oxidizers need to eat 1 to 2 tablespoons of extra fat or oil per meal.
Slow oxidizers need to avoid any extra fat besides that which is in their food.

THE LIST OF OCCASIONAL FOODS
PROTEINS
CHEESE, YOGURT, KEFIR, AND MILK
Eat no more than a total of four ounces or about 113 grams per day of either cheese, yogurt, Kefir or milk. Also we prefer goat dairy, preferably raw.
An exception is that babies up to the age of 3 or 4 who are not breastfed often want some milk. Goat milk, preferably raw, is usually best.
If one drinks milk, have it alone and not with solid food.
TURKEY
This is not quite as good as lamb, organic beef and sardines. Limit turkey to one or rarely two servings per week, or do not have it at all.
FISH
Sardines are the best fish for development. However, you may eat some smelt, herring, anchovies or other tiny fish once or twice a week. Do not eat any other fish, including salmon, trout or others. They are all too high in mercury.
DRIED BEANS
Up to once or twice per week you may have a serving of dried beans such as kidney beans, pinto beans, black beans, black-eyed peas, aduki beans or other beans.
These are decent foods. However, they are fairly cold for the body, so it is best to limit them for the purposes of better digestion and for development.
Please note: Most dried beans need to be cooked for close to 2 hours in a pressure cooker or up to 10 hours in a regular pot. You will know when they are done because they should become very soft or turn to mush or paste, and most become sweeter.
TOFU AND TEMPEH
These are lower quality proteins, so please only eat them at most once per week.
NUT BUTTERS
These are hard on digestion and make the body too cold, thus please do not eat nuts on a daily basis.
The exceptions are toasted almond butter and a little roasted sesame tahini. These two foods are listed as foods for daily use.

VEGETABLES
All vegetables, with the exception of those listed in the article Food For Daily Use, should only be eaten once or twice weekly, at the most. You need not eat the vegetables for occasional use at all. These include:
ROOTS
If you eat sweet potatoes or yams, limit the amount per serving to no more than ½ to 1 cup because these vegetables are very starchy.
CRUCIFEROUS VEGETABLES
OTHER
Frozen and Canned Vegetables
These are not very good! Once or twice a week frozen vegetables are okay, if you cannot get fresh ones.
Problems with frozen and canned food are:
The only highly recommended canned food is sardines, which are best this way and usually not available fresh.

ROOTS
- parsnips
- turnips
- black radish
- beets
- celery root
- sweet potatoes
- yams.
If you eat sweet potatoes or yams, limit the amount per serving to no more than ½ to 1 cup because these vegetables are very starchy.
CRUCIFEROUS VEGETABLES
- green cabbage
OTHER
- corn on the cob (Corn on the cob is a nice treat if it is fresh)
- okra
- celery are also foods for occasional use.
Frozen and Canned Vegetables
These are not very good! Once or twice a week frozen vegetables are okay, if you cannot get fresh ones.
Problems with frozen and canned food are:
- Freezing damages the food in some way, we find.
- Frozen food often has chemicals added to them that further diminish their nutritional value. For example, many frozen vegetables are sprayed with EDTA to maintain their color. This may not be on the label.
The only highly recommended canned food is sardines, which are best this way and usually not available fresh.
GRAINS OR CEREALS
Grains.
Once or twice per week you may have the following:
Buckwheat is a little more toxic and best avoided altogether.
Some people feel better avoiding all gluten-containing grains, which include oats, rye, barley and wheat.
Some who are gluten-intolerant find that if they follow a complete nutritional mineral balancing program for a few months, including following the diet strictly, their bodies become less sensitive to gluten. Presumably this is because the intestines heal and are less ‘leaky’ and less irritated.
Wheat.
We find most wheat and spelt to be irritating foods for most people. For this reason, we suggest avoiding all wheat and spelt.
Breads.
Avoid all wheat bread and all multi-grain breads that usually contain a lot of wheat.
Also, limit all bread to no more than two servings per week, at most. Bread is cooked at high temperature and is not the best food at this time.
Grains.
Once or twice per week you may have the following:
- some rice,
- oats,
- quinoa,
- yellow corn as cornmeal or polenta,
- amaranth,
- millet,
- barley, rye and
- other grains.

NUTS AND SEEDS
Until a person's digestion is better, avoid nuts, seeds and nut butters. They do not contain the chemicals needed for early development and they are slightly toxic.
Exceptions are roasted almond butter and roasted sesame tahini. These are discussed in the Food For Daily Use article.
A little natural peanut butter is also okay as a treat but should not be eaten daily especially since it causes many allergies. Technically, this is not a nut butter because the peanut is a legume.

FATS AND OILS
Coconut and Palm Oil.
Have these at most once a week, and preferably avoid them. They are considered a fruits and therefore too cold for the body.
Avocado.
Have this only once a week or not at all. Avocado is considered a fruits therefore too cold for the body.
Refined Vegetable Oils.
While a little is okay, these oils are high in omega-6 fatty acids, so do not use much of them. They include oils such as corn, sunflower, safflower, peanut, sesame, hazelnut, grapeseed, canola and others.
The oil found with organic blue corn chips is needed, so it is okay.
Fresh Hempseed and Flaxseed Oils.
These make the body too cold and go rancid quickly. So please minimize their use to no more than a little once a week.

SPICES
A little spice is okay to add to food, but do not add a lot of condiments and spices to your food. Many tend to be toxic.
Sweeteners that may be used once in a while are xylitol and stevia. Please do not use these more than two times per week, however.

TREATS FOR CHILDREN
For children, mainly, a treat once a week can be helpful. This will not ruin the program, and can help keep peace at home.
The treat could be a few berries, a little plain ice cream, a little peanut butter or other nut butter, a little apple sauce, or another item that the child likes.
The best treats are food for daily use such as whipped cream on vegetables or on something else.
Do not just give children a treat because you think they need it, or because the child behaved well that week. Use these treats only if a child is uncooperative and the treats are helpful. Be sure the child follows the diet the rest of the week.
