Nutrition Plan
**By Lewis Jackson
Inspired by the GBG One Day Diet
The Live Life Lean nutrition plan is
focused on increasing our diet of fruits, vegetables, nuts, and
grains. While decreasing our diet of unhealthy foods that are often
processed, contain trace toxins, chemicals, refined sugars, and
other ingredients that foster an unhealthy digestive tract and
immune system. In short, we often feel tired, sick, overweight, and
unhealthy due to our diet.
The
Live Life Lean nutrition plan consists of eating ONLY fruits,
vegetables, nuts, and grains every other day, 3x per week. My wife,
Claire, and I follow this eating plan on Mondays, Wednesdays, and
Fridays. Fruits consist of just fruit, whole fruits unprocessed, as
opposed to fruit juices or "fruit" that contain preservatives, added
sugars, "fortifiers" and the like. Vegetables may include the roots,
such as potatoes, malanga, salsify, radish, beets, etc. Nuts may be
lightly salted, but nothing like honeyed, or sugar glazed. Whole
grains not milled grains, flours, or bread stripped of its vitamins
and fiber. And with all of these eat fresh and uncooked as much as
possible-- frozen vegetables are okay. Exceptions to the above are
the
gbg vitamin supplement,
spices, herbs, tea, and regular coffee without adding creamers,
sugars, and the like.
Our "Eat as You Like" days are on
Tuesdays, Thursdays, and the weekends. You get to eat your meats,
dairies, breads, condiments, etcetera on these days! We include
healthy portions of vegetables, fruit, nuts, and grains while
allowing ourselves to eat the "forbidden foods" in moderation, and
often reluctantly. This is because our bodies are very, very happy
on Live Life Lean days. Our energy is boosted, we feel lively,
light, and healthy; and, we find ourselves fighting off sickness
more easily.
HALF DAYS: Some Live, Life Lean days may be
tough to get through due to illness or other physical conditions. Or
you may find you are losing too much weight. Instead of losing the
full benefit of Live Life Lean days, make it a half day. Live Lean
Lean for breakfast and lunch, and then eat as you like for dinner!
