Daily Food Intake Guidelines

Your food intake will be based on the honor system, so keep it simple and stay committed to making healthy choices. While we won’t get overly technical about what constitutes clean eating, here’s the breakdown:

• Eat: Lean meats, vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit (preferably berries), and a little starch.

• Avoid: Sugar, grains, alcohol, bread, and processed foods. No paleo desserts are allowed.

Fruit Guidelines:

• Stay away from fruits high on the glycemic index, such as bananas, pineapple, grapes, cranberries, dates, and raisins. These can be trigger foods for carb cravings.

• Focus on green vegetables and go light on starchy vegetables.
