Accelerated Food Guide

TABLE OF CONTENTS

 _____________________________________________________________________

The Accelerated Food Guide is not designed to make you feel restricted forever, but if you are suffering from inflammation, chronic issues, weight gain, and more, I advise you to try eliminating what you can until you heal your gut and are happy with how you feel!

Look at this list every few days and try to make a new change; you don’t have to change everything on day one if it is overwhelming. You are on YOUR health journey and can adjust things at your own pace.

There are many “healthy” foods that are making you sick, overweight, and tired.

FOODS TO AVOID OR LIMIT

Wrong Oils

You want to avoid the following oils:

  • Canola oil
  • Rice bran oil
  • Sunflower oil
  • Corn oil
  • Soybean oil
  • Cottonseed oil
  • Safflower oil
  • Grapeseed oil
  • Peanut oil
The above oils are more inflammatory and toxic than sugar; in fact, these oils stay in the body for a year whereas sugar is in and out within a day. Sunflower and safflower oil can be healthy if they are cold-pressed.

Good Oils

I recommend using the following oils:

  • Organic cold-pressed olive oil
  • Butter
  • Ghee
  • Avocado oil
  • Duck fat
  • Coconut oil

Fake Sweeteners

You want to avoid sucralose, saccharine and aspartame. They can not only trigger an insulin response and increase your appetite but can also damage your gut and lead to cancer. I recommend using stevia, monk fruit, organic raw honey and xylitol in moderation. Although they are better, they can back up the liver for some people.

Pasteurized Cow Dairy

Unfortunately, most people have an inflammatory response to pasteurized dairy because it is heated at high temperatures to kill pathogens, which also kills the enzymes to break down the food. This can lead to Leaky Gut and inflammation. Many people notice an improvement in their bowel movements, sinuses, and inflammation when they eliminate dairy.

Also, dairy is meant to “fatten” the baby cows so it can fatten you too! Some people are fine with dairy but really pay attention to how your body responds. If you can’t lose weight or heal your chronic inflammation, eliminate dairy until you are at your health goal.

Diet Soda

Many think drinking diet soda that incorporates fake sweeteners is “Keto friendly,” when in fact, diet soda not only turns the body extremely acidic which leads to a breeding ground for viruses, bacteria, candida, and other foreign pathogens, but also leads to chronic pain, aging, a compromised immune system, and increased sugar cravings.

Non-Organic Produce

It is more important than ever to stick to organic foods; the GMOs trip up the detoxification pathways in the body, leading to Estrogen dominance, weight gain, and chronic disease.

Limit Nuts

Nuts are supposedly a KETO superfood, but they combine fat and carbs together; no other food does this in nature except dairy! Fat and carbs combined cause weight gain. Enjoy them once you are at your goal. Most nuts, especially almonds, are full of oxalates!

Sulfur Foods to Avoid or Limit

Sulfur is a compound found in many foods, medications, and even health supplements that have to be metabolized by our bodies' detoxification pathways.
One paradox is that healthy, sulfur-rich foods such as kale and broccoli may be leading to diseases such as Crohn’s, ulcerative colitis, arthritis, and even mental health issues.

Learn more about foods containing sulphur and how it can impact on your gut.

Avoid or limit the following sulphur rich foods during the cleanse:

  • Egg Yolks
  • Onions
  • Garlic
  • Broccoli
  • Cauliflower
  • Kale
  • Cabbage
  • Glutathione (does not include the LifeWave Glutathione patch)

Oxalate Foods to Avoid or Limit

Oxalic acid is a naturally occurring molecule that is a toxic and corrosive acid. When it attaches itself to a mineral like calcium, magnesium, potassium or salt, it becomes an oxalate, i.e. sodium oxalate, potassium oxalate, magnesium oxalate, and calcium oxalate.

If you are new to oxalates, then I recommend reading my article Symptoms of High Oxalates to learn more.

AVOID

  • Almonds Spinach
  • Almond Milk
  • Soy
  • Peanuts


LIMIT

  • Turmeric
  • Berries
  • Potatoes
  • Nuts
  • Beans
  • Grains
  • Bran
  • Seeds
  • Sweet Potatoes
  • Figs
  • Kiwi
  • Guava
  • Swiss Chard
  • Yam
  • Beet Tops
  • Beetroot
  • Okra
  • Chocolate/cocoa
  • Parsley
  • Oregano
  • Coconut
  • Goat Dairy
  • Black beans
  • Quinoa
  • Oats
  • Carrot juice
  • Oranges
  • Dried pineapple
  • Grapefruit
  • Raspberries
  • Dates

Why Limit Vegetables, Grains, and Beans?

As you will note on the list above, I’ve recommended avoiding and limiting some vegetables, grains and beans.
Some vegetables, grains, and beans that have oxalates, sulfur, and lectins cause bloat and weight gain due to the “plant poisons” in them. By eliminating all beans, all grains, and most vegetables except cucumbers, asparagus, artichoke, zucchini, squash, romaine lettuce, butter lettuce, and celery, you are eliminating the most common offenders.

Once the gut is healed you can start incorporating these vegetables again.

Lectin Foods to Avoid or Limit

Lectins are proteins that bind to carbohydrates. The same features that lectins use to defend plants in nature may cause gut issues. Lectins resist being broken down in the gut and are stable in acidic environments, features that protect lectin-containing plants in nature.

Lectins seem to not bother people as much as sulfur rich and high oxalate foods. However, the following are ones to initially stay away from.

  • Nightshades: Tomatoes, Eggplant, Peppers, Potatoes
  • All Beans, including Spouts, all Lentils, Pea protein
  • Grains: Wheat, Oats, Quinoa, Rye, Bulgur, White Rice, Brown Rice Barley, Corn, Spelt, Wheatgrass, Barley
  • Corn Syrup, Cornstarch. CORN IS ALL GMO. AVOID
  • Dairy from “A-1” Cows
  • Nuts & Seeds: Pumpkin seeds, Sunflowers seeds, Chia seeds, Peanuts, Cashews.

High Histamine Foods to Avoid or Limit

Histamines cause inflammation in the body and can trigger many health conditions. These may or may not be trigger foods for you:

  • Alcohol
  • Fermented foods
  • Aged foods
  • Fish and shellfish
  • Bone broth
  • Dairy
  • Grains
  • Avocado
  • Tomato
  • Soy

Mold Foods to Avoid or Limit

Mold foods can trigger autoimmune issues, allergies, and more. Sometimes the body is more sensitive to these during different times of the year. You may be able to eat them sometimes but not always. Mold foods include:

  • Peanuts
  • Grapes
  • Peas
  • Pea protein
  • Grains
  • Corn
  • Non-organic coffee
  • Mushrooms
  • Green beans
  • Cantaloupe
  • Green olives
  • Lentils
  • Aged cheese
  • Soy
  • Brazil nuts
  • Pistachios
  • Sesame seeds

FOODS TO EAT

Below are foods low in oxalates, sulfur, mold, histamines, and lectins that are good to fill your plate with! Watch the portion control on the high-sugar fruits.

Wild Animal Protein

Consuming 1-1.2 grams of protein per pound of desired lean body mass from wild animal protein and wild fish will satisfy your appetite, build lean muscle mass, eliminate bloat, heal the gut, and keep you in fat-burning mode.

Animal protein including lamb, bison, deer, grass-fed beef, elk, wild salmon, arctic char, and other wild fish are complete proteins that include all of the essential amino acids, high omega 3 fatty acids, collagen, and the essential vitamins like Vitamin D, E, and Vitamin B’s that are needed for muscle growth. They also have the essential amino acids that trigger a hormone called CCK in the gut that tells the brain to suppress the appetite. These meats are less acidic than pork and conventional beef and are easier to digest.

Wild animal meats for your food list

  • Bison
  • Grass-fed grass finished beef
  • Lamb
  • Elk
  • Deer
  • Cornish game hen
  • Duck
  • Wild fish (salmon, trout, arctic char, etc.)

My favorite websites to purchase wild animal meats:

www.northstarbison.com - North Star Bison stock a wide variety of wild animal meats, not just bison. I love their Bison jerky sticks, ground bison, ground lamb, bison hot dogs, beef bratwurst, bison bratwurst, rack of lamb, and more. This is my favorite site!

www.buyranchdirect.com - Buy Ranch Direct has great grass-fed grass-finished beef, beef and lamb salamis, ground lamb, bison, and beef. And much more!

www.butcherbox.com

Additional foods to eat

Egg whites. Yolks may be ok for you but they do contain sulfur.

Nutritional Information

Carbs

  • Under 20 grams of carbs for weight loss
  • 20-100 grams with weight maintenance and exercising daily
  • Focus on low carb vegetables that are on the list 


Fats

Use the healthy fats in moderation if weight loss is a goal. Let your body “snack” on its own fat stores to stay in ketosis. Eating the fats that naturally come with the wild animal protein is ideal, but no need to add more.

If weight loss is not a goal, then fill in with the healthy fats on your veggies, meats and salads. These include butter, ghee, organic olive oil, avocado oil, and coconut oil.

SAMPLE MEALS

After taking the Accelerated Keto in the morning, you want to wait as long as you can until you are hungry— that can be until 9 am or 3 pm!

Get in touch with your true hunger signals. When you break your fast, choose a wild animal protein snack or meal. That will actually increase your glucagon, the “fat-burning” hormone more than during fasting. Don’t eat extra fat unless weight loss isn’t part of your goals.

Your energy comes from hydration and electrolytes. So use the Accelerated Salt, Wild-Lytes, Quintessential .9, and Ola Loa throughout the day for energy. They don’t break a fast.

The idea is to prioritize wild protein, keep the whole vegetable carbs low and fill in with fat according to your weight loss or weight gain goals.

Marinades and Dressings

My favorite marinades that work on almost anything are listed below. These make cooking easy and sooo tasty! I don’t have time to make my own marinades and I count on these to make my food taste amazing! I make my meals within 15 minutes, and my kids think I am a gourmet cook!
