Basic Dietary
Food Guidelines
Many of you have asked what can you eat to provide the proper nutrition
to support your efforts concerning fertility issues. It’s extremely
important that you do your homework and read from these resources
I’ve written out. If you understand WHY raw milk, coconut milk
and oil and saturated fats are important and the politics involved
in our society’s move away from them, you are much more likely
to comply with a whole foods, fermented foods, organic, raw, good
fats approach.
Remember, organically grown food are many times higher in nutritional
value than conventionally grown. Also remember that Micro-waving your
food destroys the nutrients.
A basic list of foods to include in your daily life style are:
• All vegies – make sure there is plenty of variety
– three colors of veges with each meal. Try to include veges
with your breakfast 3 – 4 mornings a week. Explore the wonderful
world of fermented foods like Kim-che and sauerkraut. They have
these organic at Wholefoods. Brocolli, Brussel Sprouts, Cauliflower,
asparagus, parsnips, beets, squashes, zucchini, mushrooms, dark
leafy greens, turnips, bok choy, etc.
• All fruits – eating moderate amounts (one or two
cups/day) of fresh organic fruits/day – very important and
helps deal with our sweet cravings.
•
• Meat and Fish – eat a variety – cook your organic
meats as rare as y ou can eat them – much more nutritional
value if you don’t kill the enzymes and other nutrients in
the meat. Cook at low temps.
• Sprouts, nuts, seeds, eggs – all good sources of
protein, esp. for vegetarians
• Drinking the Organic Raw Milk/Coconut Milk Shake will bring
you enormous support to those hormones desperate to do their job
and get you pregnant. Organic Pasteurized milk is a dead food, the
same as conventional pasteurized milk and brings with it a host
of health issues.. Organic Raw Dairy is the only dairy that will
support your hormones, Pasteurized organic will not. Please read
The Untold Story of Milk, Schmid to completely comprehend this history
of how pasteurized milk became so prevalent. Raw Cheese, Raw Butter
and Raw Cream are highly recommended.
• Coconut Oil and Milk – please read the books I’ve
listed here and begin to add these two products to your diet. It
will benefit your hormones enormously, your skin, your hair, your
memory… etc., etc. It’s a VERY important food group.
Read Eat Fat, Loose Fat to really understand the various fats and
to glean fantastic receipes using these two products.

• Sprouted Bread – found in the fridge. Section of whole
foods. These are living, sprouted grain breads with No Flour and
they are delicious. There are sprouted tortillas and English Muffins
and a whole array of sprouted breads. You must keep them in the
fridge to keep the enzymes fresh and alive. Use crackers sparingly
and try to buy organic made from whole flour.
• Condiments like olives, hearts of palm, fermented foods
like Kim-che and sauerkraut, are especially important to include
into daily meal plans.
Avoid These Foods
• All Flour and Pasta products.
• Anything that says it is pasteurized is a dead food. Even
if it says it is “enriched”, it’s with synthetic
vitamins and please remember the difference between partial vitamins
and whole food vitamins
• All fruit juices (if you want a fruit juice eat a piece
of fruit, don’t drink it), sodas, distilled and carbonated
water, alcohol
• Gluten (wheat which includes flour, crackers and pasta)
• Sugars, maltose, fruitose, corn syrup, etc. Stevia is a
good choice for a sweetener (especially if weight is an issue) as
is maple syrup, molasses, raw honey (Raw is the operative word here)
• Farmed fish
• All junk food (and you all know what this is!)
• All fast food restaurants
• All soy products except fermented tempe or organic miso
soup
• All vegetable oils, use only raw butter or olive oil or
good old fashion bacon oil saved from the mornings bacon fry
Never Use a Microwave for ANYTHING
3 The Three Day Nutritional Face-lift
The following menu is one that I found on line by a N.V. Perricone,
M.D. who specializes in weight loss and anti-aging. It’s rich
in EFA’s from all the wild salmon.
Breakfast
• egg omelet and/or 4-6 oz. grilled salmon (I do not recommend
smoked salmon or lox on the three-day diet because of the salt intake)
• ½ cup cooked oatmeal (not instant) (Cooked oatmeal
is a great source of fiber, low glycemic carbohydrates)
• 2” wedge of cantaloupe or 1/3 cup fresh berries (Cantaloupe
is very hydrating to the skin and contains important antioxidants
– blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, strawberries are
high in antioxidants)
• No Juice, No Coffee or Toast (If you normally drink large
amounts of coffee, drink black or green tea to prevent caffeine
withdrawal)
• 8-12 oz. spring water (Per meal)
Lunch
• 4 – 6 oz. grilled salmon (Option: you can also use
canned salmon and mix a little mayo and fresh squeezed lemon)
• 2 cups green salad made with romaine lettuce garnish or
other dark leafy greens
• Dressing: extra virgin olive oil and fresh squeezed lemon
to taste
• 1 kiwi fruit or cantaloupe and berries as above
• 8 – 12 oz. spring waternack
Snack
• Apple
• 2 oz. slice of turkey breast or 6 oz. plain yogurt
• Small handful of hazelnuts, walnuts or almonds (Great source
of fatty acids and folic acid)
Dinner
• 4- 6oz. fresh grilled salmon
• Green salad (as described above)
• ½ cup steamed veggies (Especially asparagus, broccoli,
spinach, etc. NO root vegetables, such as potatoes, carrots, beets,
parsnips, etc)
