Cycle 1- Accelerate

I bought the book, I read it, and you should too. It explains the science/theories behind the diet. However, James did not read it. This is the "James" version of the diet. Its basic, it can be read in 5 minutes, and its no nonsense.

Lean Proteins- Fish (salmon, sole, flounder, catfish, tilapia, canned light tuna in water), chicken breast, turkey breast, turkey mince, eggs (2 eggs= 1 serving, or 4 egg whites= 1 serving)

Cleansing Vegetables- artichoke, asparagus, bell peppers (all colors), broccoli, brussel sprouts,cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, celery, cucumbers, eggplant, garlic, green beans, green leafy vegetables, kale, leeks, lettuce, mushrooms, okra, onions, parsley, scallions, spinach, tomatoes, watercress

Low Sugar Fruits- 2 servings daily: apples, any type of berry, grapefruit, oranges, peaches, pears, plums, prickly pear cactus, punes, grapes. Try to eat fresh fruit, not canned or dried. Don't eat your fruit after 2 pm.

Probiotic Food- 2 servings daily: Yogurt (any type: greek, sugr free fuit flavored, plain, low fat 6oz=1 serving) Kefir (1 cup=1 serve) Low-fat acidophilus milk (1 cup=1serve)Yakult (50 cal bottle), Cottage Cheese (1/2 cup=1 serve), Tempeh, Suerkraut, Kimchi

Friendly Fats- 1 to 2 tbl daily: olive oil, flaxseed oil

Condiments- salsa, low carb marinara sauce, lite soy sauce,low carb ketchip, fat free sour cream, low fat/sodium broth, truvia (sweetener), sugar free jams, vegetablecooking spray, fat free cheese, fat free dressings, salt, pepper, mustards, vinegar, spices, herbs

Coffee and Tea are alllowed- dont cound towards your 8 glasses of water.

Drink your 8 glasses of water or else you will become constipated.

Breakfast: 1 Serving of Eggs (or Probiotic) and 1 serving of fruit and 1 cup of green tea

Lunch: Large serving of protein, unlimited cleansing vegetables (or Probiotic with unlimited veg) and greentea

Dinner: Large serving of protein, unlimited veg, green tea

Snacks: serving of fruit, serving of probiotic

Try to exercise 17 minutes a day.

So that is how it is done. I come from the school of thought that you should eat 6 times a day. So I don't always have my fruit with breakfast, I'll wait a couple of hours. I also have only been having yogurt once a day, and then a veggie dip made of yogurt. The book says to think of vegetables as freebies, so when James comes in wanting a snack, I make sure I have plenty of veg for that.
