The following are dietary guidelines for all patients. Regular exercise and some form of relaxation technique such as yoga, meditation, spiritual work, walking in nature should also ideally be regularly incorporated into your weekly routine. Adequate sleep is also important!
1. PROTEIN
Eat dense protein 3x a day. A portion should be at least the size of the palm of your hand. This includes: Eggs
Beef
Chicken
Turkey
Lamb
Pork
Fish
(All meat and fish needs to be cooked, egg yolks preferably runny).
2. VEGETABLES
You can eat all of the FRESH vegetables that you want except potatoes and beans. (Potatoes contain the same amount of sugar as a can of Coke. Beans contain phytates, which block digestion of certain vitamins and minerals.)
3. FRUIT
After 3 months following the diet, you may eat a limited amount of FRESH fruit daily. You can mix your fruits together but don’t mix fruit with other foods.
Fruit must be eaten in between meals at least one hour away from meals.
Eat your fruit but don’t drink your fruit or dry your fruit.
4. GOOD FATS
Unlimited Butter, Olive Oil
No Margarine, No Vegetable Oil, No Soybean Oil, No Canola Oil, No Safflower Oil, No Crisco, No Pam, No Trans Fatty acids, No Partially Hydrogenated oils.
(Most prepackaged foods and salad dressings contain oils that can cause health problems.)
5. WATER
Drink 1 liter of DISTILLED WATER per 50 lbs. of body weight, daily.
(100lbs = 2 liters, 150lbs = 3 liters of water, etc.)
6. SNACK
Eat every 2 hours to prevent your body from going into starvation mode.
(Eating every 2 hours takes stress of the adrenal glands, pancreas and many important functions off the body. In order to regain your health you want to take as much stress off of your body as possible.)
7. AVOID
Food Sensitivities/Allergies:
Wheat, Corn, Soy & Dairy (eggs and butter are OK)
NO:
Rice, Potatoes, Cereal, Bread, Flour, Pasta, Cakes, Brownies, Pies, Cookies
Ice cream, Candy, Soda, Artificial or Natural Sweeteners* & Alcohol.
(In general, alcohol is ok approx. twice a week, but not 2 days in a row. Some people are more sensitive to one type of alcohol than another. In general the better the quality of the alcohol, the better your body will be able to handle it.)
*(Honey is ok as an occasional sweetener. Rotate a few different brands/sources so that you do not become sensitive to it.)
8. IN GENERAL
Try to eat organic FRESH foods. Avoid food preservatives, monosodium glutamate (MSG) or hydrolyzed proteins. If it says “LOW FAT or FAT FREE” don’t eat it.In many ways, nutrition is a more important step in achieving balance than herbal formulas or acupuncture. In fact, in China, food prepared in the family kitchen is the first remedy for treating illness. Only when the food cure fails, are herbal remedies tried. Acupuncture treatments are the final resort.
Food is Medicine
The three meals per day that we should all eat profoundly affect our health. The knowledge we possess about the way different foods support or compromise our balance is most important. Education and empowerment are the most important facets of nutrition.
Kay has a background in both Western and Chnese nutrition. Her focus is helping the patient to align their eating with their health goals, be they weight loss, sports fitness, easing menopause symptoms or remedying another type of illness.

In particular, she focuses on a diet that minimize insulin resistance through eating low glycemic index foods. Kay explains to people the process through which insulin resistance leads to an inability to lose weight through other means.
