Diabetes

Details. Click link in text for blood sugar tracking chart.

If you are on medication for diabetes, for the first two weeks of Phase 1 please maintain the blood sugar chart. You may provide this information to your physician to help them determine when it is an appropriate time to adjust your medication levels.

If your blood sugar level falls below 80 or you feel symptoms of low blood sugar (such as light‐headedness, dizziness, blurred vision, nausea) have a spoonful of honey dissolved in a cup of hot tea or hot water. The symptoms should pass within 10 – 20 minutes of drinking the dissolved honey.

It is important to dissolve the honey, so the is glucose readily available to the body. Please take your blood sugar reading again ½ hour after having the honey.

If your blood sugar level falls below 70 more than once a day, you should contact your physician immediately to discuss adjusting your medication dosages.

Acknowledge and Agree

Low Blood Sugar

Details
To address low blood sugar, you will add the following to your food plan to allow your body to adjust to the change in diet:
Week 1:
- In the morning, have ½ a hard-boiled egg
- Every 4 hours, have a spoonful of honey dissolved in a cup of hot tea or hot water
Week 2:
- In the morning, have ½ a hard-boiled egg
- Every 6 hours, have a spoonful of honey dissolved in a cup of hot tea or hot water
Week 3:
- In the morning only on milk days, have ½ a hard-boiled egg
- Every 8 hours, have a spoonful of honey dissolved in a cup of hot tea or hot water
Week 4:
- Eliminate use of the hard-boiled egg
- As needed, have a spoonful of honey dissolved in a cup of hot tea or hot water

Acknowledge and Agree

IBS / Crohn's

Details

If you have Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) or Crohn’s Disease, for the first two weeks of Phase 1, on your Vegetable Days you should have only cooked vegetables. Raw vegetables are too fibrous for your digestive system at this time and will aggravate your condition.

We strongly recommend you take psyllium husk daily to aid the normal digestive process and to hydrate the digestive system. Psyllium husk should be taken in capsule form 3000mg–4000mg 1x day with at least 12 oz of water.

After two weeks, if you would like to slowly introduce raw vegetables into your diet, e.g., a salad, do so slowly and cautiously. If you show signs of indigestion, your body is not yet ready to digest the raw vegetables. If you show no signs or symptoms, your body is starting to adapt and you may begin to incorporate raw vegetables as part of your Vegetable Day menus.

As with all supplements, if you are on medication you should consult with your physician before beginning use.

Starting Weight Over 280 lbs

You will have added nutrition until you reach 250 lbs. Here are the details.
If your starting weight is over 280 lbs, to ensure proper nutrition, you will start your weight loss journey with enhanced food allowances. As you achieve certain thresholds, food allowances will be adjusted to match the change in your nutritional needs.

If your starting weight is 280 lbs or more:
- On Milk Days, up to 32 oz of milk
  - 16 oz must be milk
  - 16 oz may be any combination of yogurt and milk
- On Vegetable Days, up to 2 lbs of vegetables and 2 cups of fruit
- In the morning prior to 12pm, 2 hard-boiled eggs with salt
If your starting weight is 300 lbs or more:
- Same as above AND after 8pm, optional 2 hard-boiled eggs with salt (no guilt!)
When you reach 280 lbs:
Week 1:
- Eliminate the hard-boiled eggs in the evening
- Everything else remains the same
Week 2:
- Eliminate one hard-boiled egg in the morning
- Everything else remains the same
Week 3:
- Eliminate the hard-boiled egg in the morning
- Everything else remains the same
When you reach 250 lbs:
Week 1:
- On Milk Days, up to 28 oz of milk
  - 14 oz must be milk

Acknowledge and Agree

Taking Medication

Details
If you are on medication which requires you take it with food outside of the normal food cycle eating hours of 12pm – 6pm, do the following:

Milk Day

Does your medication specifically indicate no dairy?
- if no, have 2–3 oz of milk or 1 Tbsp yogurt with your medication
- if yes, have ½ hard-boiled egg with your medication
Vegetable Day

Does your medication specifically indicate no potassium?
- if no, have ½ banana with your medication
- if yes, have ½ apple with your medication
As long as you do not eat more than the recommended amounts, your body will recognize the food you’ve eaten as a buffer, and it will not compromise the program or slow your weight loss. Eating excess amounts will confuse the chemistry of the program and will slow your weight loss.

Many medications cause water retention. This will slow the scale, but not the fat loss. It may take 7-10 days after you finish the course of your medication for the water retention to pass. Focus on the change in your body and the inches lost and you will continue to see your success.

Acknowledge and Agree

High Blood Pressure

Details
If you are on medication for High Blood Pressure (HBP) or have a history of Low Blood Pressure (Low BP), you may experience some symptoms of Low BP during your first two weeks of the program. These symptoms include:
- Light‐headedness
- Dizziness
- Blurry vision
During the first two weeks of the program, at all times you should carry with you a small Ziploc baggie containing SALT (keep this in your pocket or handbag).

Should you experience the symptoms described above, repeat the following several times:
1. Lick your finger
2. Dip it in the salt
3. Lick your salty finger
The salt will normalize your BP within 2 minutes and the symptoms will disappear.

If you are on medication for HBP and this happens once or twice, it is your body adjusting to the program. If you are on medication for HBP and these symptoms occur two or more times in one week, you should contact your physician to discuss adjusting your medication dosage.

Acknowledge and Agree

Lactose Intolerance

Details
Lactose Intolerance is a deficiency of the lactase enzyme needed to digest lactose (milk sugar). Those with Lactose Intolerance may be able to digest small amounts of dairy products without assistance, but the symptoms will begin to reveal themselves with higher levels of dairy, such as the levels required on Acc(u)Life Milk Days.
To ensure proper nutrition while on the program, if you are experiencing symptoms it is CRITICAL to address Lactose Intolerance.
Please note, symptoms will typically appear on milk days, but may occur on your vegetable days as well. Symptoms include, but are not limited to: gas, bloating, diarrhea, constipation, “brain fog”, bad taste in your mouth especially on milk days, thick white or black coating on your tongue.

Options for addressing Lactose Intolerance:

Use lactase enzyme supplements on Milk Days. Lactase enzymes are sold over the counter and are typically located near the antacids. Follow the instructions on the packaging. Should you continue to experience symptoms, double the dosage of enzyme.

Switch to lactose free whole milk. WHOLE milk is in the RED container.

You may use a combination of the above, i.e., use lactose free milk at home and use lactase enzyme supplements with yogurt and/or when you use regular milk outside of the home.

Try one of our Plant-Based options. Visit Plant-based Milk & Yogurt Options Guide for more information.

If you continue to experience symptoms of Lactose Intolerance contact us so we may assist in addressing the situation.

Acknowledge and Agree

No Gallbladder

Details
If you have had your gallbladder surgically removed, you should take the following supplements to help you digest fats. These supplements may be obtained online or at any health food store:
- Digestive enzymes, preferably containing Betaine Hydrochloride
- Bile salts, optional
Follow the instructions on the packaging for dosage.

As with all supplements, if you are on medication you should consult with your physician before beginning use.

Acknowledge and Agree

Exercise

This protocol is to ensure you are properly hydrated and blood sugars are in balance when exercising.
Exercise is encouraged but not required. Exercise can help improve heart and lung health and it promotes muscle and bone health. Fat is the layer covering the muscle, so with fat loss and toning, you’ll look twice as good! Exercise will not accelerate your weight loss.

YES
Aerobics | Cycling | Dancing | Hiking | Jogging | Pilates | Power Walking | Running | Spinning | Sports | Swimming | Yoga | Toning/Strength Training (several sets of 10-15 reps)

NO

Body Building (using excessive weights where you are physically limited to 8 reps or less)

BEFORE exercise
Dissolve 1 tsp honey in 8 oz hot tea or hot water. Drink this 20-30 minutes in advance to put a floor under your blood sugar and leave enough time to urinate prior to exercise.

DURING exercise
Bring with you 1 liter of sports level electrolyte enhanced water. This is what you will sip during exercise to prevent dehydration from the exertion and perspiration.

AFTER exercise
Within 1 hour of completing exercise, finish drinking the liter of electrolyte water you started during exercise. If you are feeling hungry after that, in the next hour have another 1/2–1 liter of electrolyte water.

Helpful tips:
- If you prefer cold drinks, for blood sugar make iced tea or lemonade. Boil 32 oz of water, dissolve in 4 tsp of honey. Steep any flavor tea bag; for lemonade add ReaLemon or True Lemon to taste. Place in refrigerator. Makes four 8 oz servings.
- For hydration, make sure electrolyte water is not labeled “electrolytes added for taste.”
- Electrolyte product recommendations.
You should feel as good as ever while exercising on program. If you are not feeling right during exercise, please contact us for further guidance.

***IMPORTANT***
During the first 2 weeks of Phase 1, the initial detox, you may fatigue more quickly than usual. Listen to your body and, if necessary, limit your exercise for that day. Continue your regular regimen on the following day and continue to pay attention to your body’s fatigue level. You will notice the fatigue disappearing as the pancreas and liver adjust to each other with the chemistry of Phase 1.
