Good Food List

  • Eggs – Eggs should be the staple of your diet. They are considered to truly be one of the greatest super foods.  They contain vital cholesterol that your brain, nerves, and hormones must simply must have to function. Eggs also provide a variety of proteins, EFA’s, vitamins and minerals.  You should never over cook eggs, cook them soft, scramble in butter and salt, soft boil them, poach them, or eat them raw in a smoothie. If you hard boil an egg and the yolk has a greenish coating, this means that the cholesterol has been degraded, so it is best to not overcook.  If you are allergic to chicken eggs then you can try goose, duck, or quail eggs.
  • Butter
  • Salt – Use as much Salt as you want! Why? (see notes below)
    • Your stomach cannot make acid without salt; your body requires salt.
    • “Salt has nothing to do with high blood pressure”.  – Dr. Joel Wallach.
    • Use Iodized salt
    • “How do you know if you used too much salt? Your food tastes salty”. – Dr. Joel Wallach
    • Those who do not consume salt set themselves up for digestive issues and other health issues
    • “Salt is an essential nutrient.  You cannot live without sodium chloride (salt).  Anyone who says you need to restrict salt should be put in jail for reckless endangerment”. – Dr. Joel Wallach
  • Dairy – Full fat whole milk only. No skim, 1, or 2 percent milk.
  • Fish
  • Chicken
  • Pork
  • Lamb
  • Beef – Rare or medium-rare only.
  • Vegetables
  • Fruit
  • Nuts – Avoid nuts roasted in oil, or nut products with oil added.  Remember that most peanuts are contaminated with fungus so it is recommended you don’t eat them.
  • Rice
  • Millet
  • Beans
  • Couscous – Made from pearl millet only.
  • Quinoa
  • Corn – Corn is one of the foods we suggest buying organic because most conventional corn is genetically modified which can hurt your digestive tract.
  • Coffee
  • Tea & Green Tea
  • Red Wine
  • Filtered Water – Dr. Wallach recommends avoiding any alkaline waters just before or while eating since it neutralizes your stomach acid like carbonated drinks which prevents digestion and absorption of nutrients.
  • Lard

Bad Food List

  • Wheat, Barley, Rye & Oats/Oatmeal – The grains we eat today have been altered to withstand weather, insects, and weed killers resulting in a gluten protein that our stomachs just cannot break down. When the gluten travels through our intestinal track undigested, it destroys the Villi and micro Villi that is meant to absorb the nutrients from our foods. This leads to digestive, chronic health problems, and diseases. This includes some alcoholic beverages. Dr. Wallach says to avoid these grains even if it states on the package that they are gluten free.
  • Buckwheat – Contains fagopyrins are photo toxic chemicals that cause burning and inflammation on contact, inside and outside of the body.
  • Fried Food – When you fry foods  it produces acrylamide’s and free radicals. These are carcinogenic and  will cause inflammation in your digestive track and arteries, oxidation damage to your nerves and soft tissues, and can cause certain cancers.
  • Oils – Cooking oils, olive oil, even coconut oil oxidizes when oxygen comes in contact with it. When you eat oxidized oil it causes inflammation, oxidation damage, and destroys tissue in the body. Most oils on the market are rancid, as they have air in the bottle, and begins to oxidize the minute it is exposed to air. You have no idea how old it is, how much heat it has been exposed to or how long it has been on the shelf.
  • Well Done Meat (Rare or Medium Rare is ok) – Carcinogenic heterocyclic amines are created by cooking meats at very high temperatures. When grilling make sure the flames do not touch the meat, or let the juices from the meat hit the charcoal and coat it with burnt smoke. Dr. Wallach says that “Heterocyclic amines are the most egregious cancer causing substances on earth.”
  • Deli Meats/Cold Cuts – Most deli meats, hot dogs, and bacon have nitrates and nitrites in them used as preservatives. Nitrites and nitrates cause inflammation, tissue destruction, oxidation, and free radical damage. If you can get nitrate/nitrite free deli meats, then you are okay to consume them. Many of them also contain various forms of gluten as it is a binder. Also make sure to do your research on the dangers of celery root/powder being used as a preservative.
  • Carbonated Beverages – Carbonated beverages neutralize the stomach acid and reduce your ability to digest and absorb the nutrients from food and supplements. Phosphoric acid is especially bad for you, and will rob calcium from your bones.
  • Potato/Yam/Sweet Potato Skins – The skin is okay to eat if boiled or covered while baking.  The reason for not consuming crispy potato skins is the fact if over cooked they are creating Carcinogenic heterocyclic amines.
  • Hypothyroidism – If you suffer from hypothyroidism (under active thyroid) you need to avoid eating cruciferous vegetables because they will suppress and reduce thyroid function.Some more common examples of cruciferous vegetables are: horseradish, kale, collard greens, cabbage, brussels sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, bok choy, turnip, mustard seed, arugula, watercress, radish, and wasabi.
