The four-day rotation diet is time-consuming and requires careful planning. You have to read labels constantly, and it's just about impossible to dine out unless you avoid sauces and salad dressings, check ingredients with your waiter or hostess and write everything down as you consume it. Unless you can verify their food sources and other ingredients, you have to stop taking vitamins and food supplements. Beverages can cause all kinds of complications. Forget Coke and Pepsi. Nearly all "healthy" soft drinks, bottled iced tea and bottled juice blends contain high-fructose corn syrup. If they contain sugar, is it from beets or sugar cane? Beer contains barley, malt, hops and yeast, and that's if you buy a German beer or a brand that lists its ingredients. American beers are notorious for containing sudsing agents, artificial colors, preservatives and chemical additives that never appear on labels. No wonder beer and pizza give you heartburn! |

After you've followed this regimen for a week, start rearranging the foods. Separate wheat from beef, for example, or soy milk from walnuts. Keep food families in mind. On the day you drink soy milk, you can eat tofu, tempeh, soy sauce, miso and any other soy product. On the next three days, you have to avoid all soy foods. On the day you eat tomatoes, eat all you want of eggplant, peppers and potatoes, for all are members of the nightshade familythen avoid eating any of these "cousin" foods for four days. Tobacco, by the way, is another nightshade. |
