The Kaufmann Phase 1 Diet from Doug Kaufmann of Know the Cause, is my favorite diet. If you want to get healthy, this is the eating plan for you!
The diet emphasizes consuming fresh vegetables, healthy proteins and fats, and low-sugar fruits. It encourages a whole foods approach, promoting natural and unprocessed foods.
The Kaufmann Phase 1 Diet eliminates wheat, most dairy products, commercially raised meats, peanuts, corn, toxic oils (canola, corn, vegetable), sugar (feeds all the bugs in your belly), mushrooms, soy, and a few other things.
In their place, you'll eat lots of fresh vegetables, meats from pasture-raised animals, healthy fats, and fish that swim freely in the sea.
I live in Key Largo, Florida, and we have tons of fish here! Many of my recipes call for seafood because, in the Keys, we catch them and cook 'em! Talk about a local food supply!
Try the Phase 1 diet for a few weeks. You have nothing to lose (except aches and pain, inflammation, anxiety, ugly toenail fungus, and a few bad habits). For the full story about why Phase One works, check out Kaufmann Phase One Diet.
