Produce Power

This is the quickest way to lose weight because you're getting at the real cause of your excess weight, a build-up of toxic waste in your system. It can be uncomfortable to begin the UnDiet here though because of the extreme way your body may react to detoxification on such a powerful level. It would be best to practice the UnDiet for at least a week before going on the Produce Power plan. Even then you may still experience headaches, diarrhea, light-headedness, nausea, bloating, gas, achiness, loss of energy, anxiety, or nasal dripping. If any of these symptoms occur, don't worry, and don't take anything to try and stop them. While uncomfortable, these are all ways that your body is using to get rid of toxic wastes that have been hampering you for years. For more on this read "Fit For Life". This is why I suggest starting the UnDiet with the Basic UnDiet Plan , then moving to Produce Power for one day per week, or 3-7 consecutive days per month. If you can stay on Produce Power for a week or two though you'll experience quick, safe and healthy weight loss, as well as incredible energy. But I want to stress here that if you don't like Produce Power just keep to the UnDiet guidelines and enjoy your life and weight loss.

If your diet up to now has been relatively healthy (whole grains, dairy-free, sugar-free) you should be able to start the UnDiet here at Produce Power without an extreme reaction.

You'll be eating nothing but fresh Fruits and mostly raw vegetables with oils, butters, vinegars, herbs and spices for flavor. Don't worry about the calories you're consuming, DON'T COUNT THEM, EAT THEM!Don't be afraid, this really does work.

Breakfast

Start the day with a glass of fresh juice, herbal tea, plain filtered water, or filtered water with a squeeze of fresh lemon or lime juice. If you can drink your lemon/lime "tea" without sweetener, all the better, but if you must you can add honey, real maple syrup, date or maple sugar. When you wake up in the morning your body is still eliminating the food you ate the day before. You don't want to tax your body by forcing it to begin digesting another meal, so from the time you wake up until noon, you'll eat nothing but fresh or frozen Fruit. No canned Fruit. If you like, you may also drink freshly made Fruit juice that you make yourself, or purchase from a juice bar or grocer that extracts it's juices daily. No canned, bottled or frozen juice concentrates. Heating Fruit destroys all it's benefits to your body including the enzymes needed to itself digest properly.

If you have trouble digesting Fruit you may try eating celery or lettuce with your Fruit. If you do choose to combine these veggies with your Fruit, try eliminating them after a few days and you'll most likely find that your body has adjusted to the Fruit and you're now able to digest things you couldn't eat before without discomfort.

Lunch

You want to try to make 70% of each meal raw veggies (or fresh Fruit) as this is what facilitates the digestion of your food, helping you to lose weight. I can't always make every meal with 70% raw veggies, but I try and I've even come up with some creative ways to introduce raw veggies into dishes that I wouldn't normally have added them to (see Raw Veggies ).

10-20 minutes before lunch drink a glass of fresh veggie juice, fresh Fruit juice, herbal tea, or filtered water.

Make a vegetable salad. Use any dressing that contains no preservatives, sugars, chemicals, or high fructose corn syrup. Don't worry about using oil in your dressing, although if you can cut back on the oil by adding a little more balsamic vinegar, lemon or lime juice go ahead. Note: I love balsamic vinegar, but it is a dead food and it's much better for your system to use lemon, lime or orange juice instead. However, since the idea is to eat as healthy as you can and still enjoy your food, pick your deviations.

I found it very difficult to eat a completely raw veggie salad during the winter months so I would saute or roast up some veggie combos such as:

eggplant and onion
bell peppers, eggplant and onion
zucchini and onion
mushrooms, zucchini and onion
potatoes and onions
potatoes, zucchini or bell peppers and onion

You get the idea, make up your own veggie combos. I try to use veggies that I wouldn't like served raw. Let cool until warm and serve on bed of lettuce and /or other raw veggies. Drizzle dressing over all. Make sure that at least 70% of the salad is raw veggies.

Or you may prefer having raw veggie sticks for lunch, plain or with a dip. Just make sure that the dip is chemical and sugar free. Check out the UnDiet Vegetable Dip recipes.

Snack (if desired)

Best snack to continue detoxifying your body is fresh Fruit. Next best is raw vegetables.

Beverages

Best choice is filtered water or herbal teas. Next best is: decaf black tea, decaf coffee (hot or cold) made from filtered water - no milk although cream is okay since it's mostly fat. I usually keep a pitcher of one of the following in the fridge: any Celestial Seasonings Zinger teas, or Good Earth decaf. I also love to squeeze a little fresh lemon or lime juice into my water.

Dinner

20-30 minutes before dinner drink a glass of fresh veggie juice, fresh Fruit juice, herbal tea, or filtered water.

A Fruit or veggie salad, or if you need something warm for dinner:

vegetable or mock chicken broth with fresh vegetables both cooked, and raw as a garnish (diced or shredded tomatoes, zucchini, carrot, avocados, red onion, or mushrooms are great raw garnishes). Try to keep 70% of the soup raw veggies.
steamed vegetables, mixed with 70% raw veggies (if you must use cheese try to use nondairy cheese which you can find in most supermarkets and health food stores)
bowl of chopped Fruit, warmed with spices such as pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, or vanilla

Snacks

best choice is fresh Fruit or fresh Fruit juice
raw veggies
warmed vegetables, plain or with salt and butter or any other spice you like
veggie soup

Stop eating by 8pm. If you can't that's okay, but at least allow 2 and preferably 3 hours between your last meal (20 minutes if Fruit) and when you go to bed.

If you're primarily eating from the basic UnDiet plan it's a good idea to switch to Produce Power for one day a week. If you've been on Protein Blast for any amount of time take 3-5 days on Produce Power to clean your system out.
