Understand that this is just a sample menu and should be used as a guideline. You may eat all the raw fruits and vegetables you wish, the more the better. If you are hungry between meals try eating nuts and dried fruit, raisins or berries (be sure there is NO SUGAR or preservatives added, nuts should be raw.) Eggs, beans, peas, seeds and nut butters (i.e. peanut, almond, sesame seeds, or cashew) are all good snacks. Be sure there is no hydrogenated oil in the butters. Avoid DAIRY products as much as possible. If you have a health problem consult a physician who is very well trained in nutrition before you make any radical changes in your diet. NO Sugar, Caffeine, or Soda . . .EVER!
