Philosophy Behind the Plan
• We crave what we are most intolerant to.
• Intolerant foods cause gut inflammation
which leak out into the rest of the body
– Cause an auto-immune response
• Food intolerance is not fixed and is
correctable
• IgG reaction (slower, food-sensitivity)
Foods to Avoid
• Gluten—30-40% intolerant, maybe as much as 70%
– Lectins-binds to insulin receptors
– Phytates-makes minerals bio-unavailable
• Dairy—promotes insulin resistance, acne, and bone
depletion
– The more processed the worse it is, antibiotics, hormones
• Soy—new to the human diet
–

–
–
–
Disrupts hormones as a phyto-estrogen
Impairs thyroid function
Genetically modified
Overly processed
Asian food as a condiment and fermented
• Corn—pro-inflammatory/high-glycemic/not a
vegetable
–
–
–
–
One of the most genetically modified
Host to 22 different fungi
High in lectins
Symptoms: hives, rashes, migraines, joint pain, mood
disorders, temporary depression, insomnia, eczema,
fatigue, hyperactivity in children, night sweats, dark
circles around the eyes, repeated ear infections, UTI,
sinus
– Corn starch, corn syrup, high fructose corn syrup, corn
oil
• Eggs
– White part is the allergen
– Might be more of what they are fed
• Peanuts-legume
– Aflatoxin (mold)—toxic.
– Peanut oil-atherogenic (arterial plaque)
– High in phytic acid and lectins
• Sugar-140lb/year
–
–
–
–
–
Insulin metabolism disruptor
Increase yeast production
Feeds bacteria
Dampens immune function
Artificial sugar worse than natural
