PHASE 1 BASIC MEAL PLAN — REVERSING GLYCEMIC STRESS
The basic meal plan is simply a guide to help you see how you can apply the
principles presented on this web page. Some individuals feel more comfortable
following a step by step plan. However, I would encourage you to truly begin to
understand how simple it is to eat a healthy diet that does not spike your blood
sugar. You need to become familiar with the recommended food chart. There are
good carbohydrates, good proteins, and good fats available for you to choose
from. You want to be eating foods from the desirable foods the majority of the
time. 20 to 30% of the time you will be eating foods from the moderately
desirable food list. In phase 1, I encourage you to totally eliminate foods that
are in the least desirable food list. I am also going to encourage you to
eliminate all breads, grains, cereals, rice, pasta, potatoes, sugar, candy, soda
pops, and juices during phase one of this program. During phase 2 you will
re-introduce these foods but they will be breads, rice, cereals, and potatoes
that will not spike your blood sugar. Obviously sugar, pop, sweetened juices,
cakes, donuts, and white potatoes will need to be rarity in your diet.
During phase 1 you will be eating 2 Macro-Optimizer meals, 1 Macro-Optimizer
snack, one regular meal, and one regular snack. It really does not make any
difference which meal you choose to be your regular meal. It could be breakfast,
lunch, or your evening meal. When you choose to have your regular meal or snack,
may vary each and every day. This will most likely be determined by your
schedule. Remember, I really don’t want you to go hungry; however, if you do
eat an additional meal or snack, I want it to be a meal or snack that does not
spike your blood sugar.
I have given you examples of various daily meal plans for 14 days. This is
simply a guide and you are encouraged to try new recipes that contain the
recommended foods. Please click onto the Macro-Optimizer
Nutritional Drinks to get more details on how you can
make your drinks. Again, learn to add various kinds of frozen fruit, yogurt, and
spices to literally spice up your drinks. I encourage everyone to share a recipe
or new idea on mixing the drinks by clicking on to Share
a Recipe. This way we can add variety to the program
and help each other to a new healthy lifestyle.
