the diet

so then how do we fix her insides without modern medicine?
diet and supplements (for a time)

things to avoid:
*artificial sweeteners: aspartame, saccharin, sucralose, maltitol, etc.
*flavor enhancers & preservatives: msg, nitrates, monosodium glutamate
*artificial colors & dyes: red, yellow, etc.
*canned foods and drinks: glass is acceptable
*refined carbohydrates: white sugar, white flour, corn syrup, enriched foods
*commercial meats: look for meat labeled "no hormones, no antibiotics, free range & organic".
*dairy products...sad day in our house.
*soy products
*chlorine & fluoride sources: tap water, fluoride toothpaste, etc

things to eat!
*1 quart of clean water per 50 lbs of body weight (this is hard and a major motivator to lose a few lbs. :)
*2 vegetables/fruit per meal
*25-35% of the meal should be a protein source (meats, eggs, beans, seeds, nuts, sprouts, quinoa, nut butters)
*40-60% of the meal should be carbohydate (100% whole grain un-enriched breads, pastas, rice and whole vegetables & fruit)
*15-25% of the meal should be fats (nuts, seeds, coconut oil, nut butters)

her list of supplements is going to kinda long in the beginning until her insides start to heal...most of which I know very little about...which is why I'm so thankful for Dr. Hill and his staff!
