Reduce or Remove Altogether • Processed foods, fast foods, and soda • Refined sugar (like white and brown sugar) • High-fructose corn syrup • Additives, artificial sweeteners, and MSG • All vegetable oils like canola, soybean, corn, and grapeseed (see A Guide to Fats) • Non-organic soy, soy milk, or rice milk • Grains (wheat and corn is a grain) • Starchy vegetables and high glycemic fruits • Squeezed juice * 98% of soy grown in America is genetically modified, and may increase intestinal permeability. Remove Entirely (for at least 60 days) Read all labels on food packaging * Milk and all milk products * Wheat & gluten (including yeast, rye, oats, and barley) * All artificial trans fat (including hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oil) Avoid cooking with or consuming these fats and oils.

Eat Liberally • Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, divided evenly between leafy greens, colored, and sulfur-containing (see produce charts). • Make bone broth and incorporate it into your diet regularly. • Eat and cook with plenty of high-quality fats (see A Guide to Fats). • Include adequate complete proteins (one to three fists, mostly from fish and animals). • Stay adequately hydrated.
