Organic Meats The food from an organically fed, free-range animal is known to taste better than commercially raised varieties, and they have much better nutrition. Grass-fed and pasture raised meat is rich in Omega 3s, as much as Salmon per ounce! GMO cornfed beef is high in Omega 6s and other toxic chemicals which increase inflammation, ultimately leading to cancer, heart disease, and diabetes. dixiewall.com 7 Healthy Foods Guide Wild Fish Fish caught in their natural environment will contain more nutrients and omega 3 essential fatty acids than farmed fish, which are available almost everywhere and often artificially colored. Be very careful of farmed salmon and tilapia. They are fed leftover animal parts—it is completely disgusting! Weight Loss This diet is a great way to start a cleanse. Most people will lose weight as well. The key to weight loss is to avoid Carbohydrates and eat healthy fat to get your body into ketosis. Eat veggies lower in carbs and avoid all fruits, nuts, grains and sugars for maximum weight reduction. Remember fat does not make you fat, carbs do! Cheese Permitted cheeses are those which contain virtually no lactose. In order for a cheese to be free of lactose, the manufacturing process must include separation and removal of the whey (containing most of the lactose) from the curd as well as “curing” of the remaining lactose by the addition of a bacterial culture. Better cheeses are listed in good section under dairy. These have lower lactose content. dixiewall.com 8
