Food Plan
Hello everyone! First of all, I want to say congratulations to you all for getting the new year off to a good start by doing something good for yourself!
I to am new to this program and welcome any comments or any group support discussions. Hopefully I can learn how to use this forum well, as I have never posted on a forum before.
I have a couple of questions about the Food Plan.
1. In the "Lessons", a simplified version of the food plan is mentioned. The Lesson also mentions that you can opt for the more involved plan which has lists/menus/recipes. I saw the second list. Is the "simplified version" actually what is listed under the dietary goals:
A. Eliminate all allergenic foods and grains....
B. Eat at least 4 cups of vegetables daily...
C. Eat 2-3 Tbsp. of healthy fats and oils...
D. Divide your food intake into 6 small meals...
E. Eat protein at every small meal...
Or is there another "simplified" version somewhere else on the site which I overlooked?
2. In the involved plan which has lists/menus/recipes, the following recipes have a large quantity of produce in them:
Green Salad with Pecans and Pears
Antipasto Plate
Middle Eastern Chickpea Stew
Asian Chicken and Mixed Vegetable Stir-Fry
My question is, once I make each recipe the first time it is specified for the week, am I supposed to eat the whole thing in 2 meals or is it supposed to last me until the end of the week for each day that recipe is called for? If it is the latter, boy will this be easy!
Thank you for any input you are able to give! Good luck to you all! If we stick together, we can accomplish anything! This is the year to make it happen! Good riddence to feeling bad all the time!!!!!!!

Cool! I was wondering if I rotated between the varieties if that would help. I'll give it a shot. I also like spinach and kale so that adds to it. I haven't tried some of the others yet. There's so much food I can't eat it all! I'll adjust for week two.

Because everyone is different, rotating foods is something you will have to do on your own if you are prone to sensitivities. If it's lettuce you are concerned about, just alternated all the different varieties with dark leafy greens- there are so many to choose- and you should be ok

My Alcat from 2004 showed a sensitivity to lettuce (it was yellow, so it wasn't a strong sensitivity). On this plan, I'm eating lettuce almost every day--just finished week one. Right now I'm asymptomatic, but in the past I've 'revived' sensitivites by not rotating my diet properly.
Do we start to rotate the lettuce as the plan progresses or is this something I will need to adjust on my own?
Thanks!

I bought Mercola's book a couple of years ago and wasn't sure if I was mixed type or carb type. I can safely say that after being on this food plan for only 4 days, I know for certain I am a carb type. The protein makes me feel too full. I can't finish it all. No chance of hunger here! :lol:
That one recipe for the antipasto plate will last you all week, any time it's called for. And the green salad with pecans and pears served my husband and me at least three meals.
This program is meant to have leftovers--more than just dividing that one meal into two smaller meals. There may be a lot of cooking or prep at one time, but it'll last.
