Mariposa, I avoid all sugar except the little bit in vegetables and lemons. No fruit, no xylotol, no maple syrup... Nothing sugary whatsoever. It isn't hard to do after the first couple weeks, because sugar creates cravings, and once the sugar is gone so are cravings. I'm the same way with starch, because my digestive organs are too weak to process it. So I avoid all potatoes, grains, turnips, and other roots and starchy vegetables.
I'm actually doing this diet because my naturopathic doctor, who is actually healing me, made it for me. He allows food for me based on my blood type, which is type O. But it is tailored specifically based on my body's issues, such as weak digestive organs. Many people with type O blood would be allowed berries and squash, but I can't eat those things.
What I personally am allowed to eat is grass fed beef, lamb, and buffalo; pasture raised chicken and turkey; wild caught salmon, tuna, and haddock; pine nuts, walnuts, almonds, sunflower seeds, and pepitas; spinach and kale; broccoli, colliflower, asparagus, ginger, green beans, cabbage, avacado, artichoke, and cucumber. I can have most seasoning herbs as long as they are not spicy. I can use olive oil, coconut oil, walnut oil, and sunflower seed oil.
I have to make it very clear that conventional meat is not allowed for many reasons. The animal eats things like grain, which I can't tolerate, and the meat is hardly nutritional because of it. Grass fed beef is very nutrient dense because cow muscles require the nutrients in grass to be healthy. Also, conventional meat usually is tenderized with wheat and corn. There is also the issue of all the added antibiotics and growth hormones. Also, conventional meat is about as acidic as possible on the PH scale, while grass fed meat is closer to the center of the scale, meaning it is far less acidic.
It really isn't hard to do. I'm supposed to eat meat for every meal, and I need to eat every 2 hours as my blood pressure and sugar is too low. I quit my job because I had to focus on healing, so I have the ability to cook everything. But anyone who can't cook all the time can do things like make a large prepared salad with shredded deli meat (I use Applegate turkey) or shredded chicken or tuna, spinach, kale, cucumber, ginger, lots of nuts, and oil and vinegar as a dressing. Take small portions of it at a time. Making your own jerky is easy and very helpful (I use coconut Amino's and raw unfiltered apple cider vinegar and salt far the marinade.) Large crock pot dishes are wonderful for left over too. I'll make lamb curry with coconut milk, roast beef, beef stew, lots of chicken breasts... Meat in large quantities that will last me for a couple days at a time.
Hopefully this helps! But no matter what, I recommend doing whatever it takes to get good sleep. Also, tumeric pills are excellent. I take 9 a day!
