Detailed Instructions

  1. Intentionally eat as much food as you can each day. If you are hungry despite just eating, eat again. Do not argue with appetite.
  2. At each meal include all of the macronutrients – protein, carbohydrates and fats.
  3. Eat starchy unrefined carbohydrates (potatoes, corn, brown rice, oats, sweet potato, and other root vegetables) and plenty of them. #Fruits can be eaten, but favour starch of simple sugars. Refined carbohydrates/sugars should be avoided or minimised.
  4. Eat plenty of saturated fats while keeping vegetable oils and omega 6 fats to a minimum. Include lots of meat, fish and dairy.
  5. Include lots of non-starchy vegetables like salads, spinach, cabbage, broccoli, carrots, celery, cucumber etc.
  6. Do no exercise. Light stretching or walking is fine; anything more strenuous should be avoided. Avoid stress as much as is feasible.
  7. Go to bed early and sleep as late as you want. Get in at least 8 hours sleep, take afternoon naps if you can.
  8. Avoid caffeine, alcohol, artificial sweeteners, and anything else impure or overly stimulating.
  9. Enjoy it. The whole experience should be as tranquil and meditative as possible.
