Rule#4

Though an orange or apple or guava or half a grape fruit or a cup of avocadoes or tomatoes or papaya, or the fruit of the season a day may be alright to eat, it is better that in the initial stage of this diet, you just DON’T eat FRUIT six-days a week, and you certainly don’t need it year-round. Just say no to fruit and its principal sugar fructose, which adds fat more efficiently than almost all other carbohydrates. Glycerol Phosphate – to – Triglycerides (via the liver) – to – Fat storage. No sweet corn too.

Absolutely avoid a high-fructose diet. It increases cholesterol levels and doesn’t do the body any good. Fructose has been reported to affect homeostasis, absorb trace elements and to increase iron deposition. Excess iron can be toxic.

Fructose intake also decreases the activity of the copper enzyme super oxide – dismutase (SOD) and reduces the concentration of serum and hepatic copper.

There are a few bio – chemical exceptions to this, but avoiding fruit six days per week is the most reliable policy. It is the seventh day that allows you, if you so desire, to eat all the fruit you want. Do without any fruit, six days a week, for the initial five weeks. You may thereafter allow yourself some fruit as above with a proper understanding of the total fructose content in your diet. (See – ‘Benefits of Fruits?’)

If and when you do eat fruit, do so only on an empty stomach, before your meals, to prevent fruit from remaining overlong in the stomach and fermenting, thus causing bloating and discomfort. Empty stomach means not only on waking but also 2 to 3 hours after any meal.

Rule#5:

Take one day off per week and on this day (Feast day) eat whatever you desire and as much as you want. Binge to your heart’s content. However do it in such a manner as to have the least deleterious effect. (See – ‘The Principles for Feast and Binge eating’)

Say Sunday, on this day you are allowed to eat whatever you like (No Calorie counting and no limits on gluttony), especially those foods that you have been missing terribly throughout the previous week.

The very thought that the feast day is coming makes it easier to follow the diet rules. Anyway after a few weeks the cravings themselves reduce and your feast day becomes less gluttonous.

Weigh yourself before your first meal on the feast day and ignore the short term fluctuations. Also remember to take the circumference measurements in the morning before meals on your weigh – in day, ideally the feast day. Weight can lie but measurements don’t.

Feast day Result.

Expect massive weight fluctuations after the feast day, Relax. It is mostly water retention due to extra carbo-hydrates and will disappear over the next 48 hours. If you want to reduce the weight gain on this day, then eat a high-protein meal for breakfast on this day and binge from this to dinner. Eat some Grape fruits for the Naringin and a small fructose dose just before the 2^nd meal of the day – the 1^st binge meal on a feast day. This helps to nearly flat-line your blood glucose levels. To further limit the adverse effects on fat caused by such binges you may try the following:

• Increase insulin sensitivity before bingeing once a week by just adding some cinnamon to your pastries or whatever, on that
• Blunt your blood glucose for 60 minutes while you eat a high carb meal guilt-free by having a small fructose dose just prior to the meal. Also follow the principles given under the Feast/ Binge section below.
