Snacks during the diet phases

If hunger pangs occur, take 3-5 MyAMINO® and/or coconut oil or one of the other oils mentioned. Drink plenty of water. Do not eat any fruit or other sugars, i.e. at least in phase 1 completely do without any sugars and carbohydrates or so-called satiety supplements. We only have proteins in the form of their precursor, the essential amino acids. In addition, medium-chain fatty acids – they come second in our diet – as well as the long-chain omega-3 fatty acids with a larger 20-chain carbon compound as found in DHA and EPA. They are mainly used to supply our brain, which is very fussy about omega-3 fatty acids. In addition, we have various food supplements to support a ketogenic metabolic state and to compensate for the resulting increased stress on the excretory organs and, of course, to buffer the increased mobilisation of toxins from the breakdown of fat cells.

Long breaks between meals are important to give the pancreas clear, i.e. maximum, recovery breaks and at the same time to boost fat metabolism, which in turn leads to an increase in ketone levels in the blood.

Remember: It is not fats that make you fat, but carbohydrates (sugars). Worst are: Carbohydrates + fats mixed: e.g. cakes, donuts, fatty croissants and the famous jam roll or crisps.

If there is no histamine intolerance, nuts are also allowed to a certain extent, but the amount of carbohydrate they contain must be taken into account. Over the day or at meals <30g.

Important note

The vegetables and fruits that are particularly suitable for our metabolic programme are listed in this table or can be expanded via the table on glycaemic load and glycaemic index on our homepage www.drreinwald.com. Fruits outside the listed varieties are only allowed according to the glycaemic load from the green range and within the total KH load. The lower the glycaemic load the better.

The carbohydrate load should be no more than between 30 and 100g of KH daily, depending on metabolic type and the goal of the dietary strategy. During initial fasting or interval fasting with MyAMINO® and possibly coconut oil, carbohydrates must be completely avoided.

Seven simple mnemonic sentences to fulfil sustainability

1st mnemonic:

Always make sure you have an adequate and high quality protein supply, especially proteins from animal sources such as eggs, fish, meat and poultry in ORGANIC QUALITY! When consuming fish, pay attention to the load of heavy metals. With plenty of fish, however, you still secure the so important essential ω-3-fatty acids with a high proportion of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) as we offer them from algae sources in AlgaeDHA. And not only as an inflammation-reducing substance, but also as important building blocks for your brain. These are not present in plant sources such as linseed oil etc. in this carbon length which is crucial for the brain. The decisive factor is the proportion of carbon atoms in a fatty acid, and this should be greater than 20.

2nd mnemonic:

Always eat plenty of fresh herbs and vegetables and moderate fruit or according to glycaemic load in ORGANIC QUALITY! The aim is to ensure an adequate supply of micronutrients or vital substances: Vitamins, minerals, trace elements, antioxidants. Avoid too much fruit or fruit juices because of the glucose AND fructose content. Always eat fruit BEFORE the main meal. They then contribute to the enzyme supply for digestion and cannot form fusel alcohol due to the delayed stomach passage, as is often the case when eating fruit after a meal.

3rd mnemonic:

Reduce the proportion of energy-dense food in the long term and avoid soda drinks as much as possible, both those with zero calories and those with high-fructose corn syrup. But also avoid fruit juices from the supermarket. Freshly squeezed fruit juices should also be consumed in moderation.

4th mnemonic:

Eat enough dietary fibre every day, such as that contained in ColoSTABIL, VitalBASE or other high-fibre foods, including psyllium, oat bran etc.. In addition, eat probiotics regularly through fermented foods such as kimchi, miso, etc. You can find recipes for this in my book Healthy, Fit and Slim with the Ketogenic Diet, which is available online as a free download if you register.

5th mnemonic:

Eat once or twice a week according to the guidelines of phase 3 REGULATE or insert interval fasting days with MyAMINO according to the principle of phase 1 FASTING PLUS. I.e. have dinner with 8-10 pellets of MyAMINO and then fast until lunch the next day. A Bulletproof Coffee in the morning – perfect. And: allow yourself an “orgy day” now and then and enjoy the sin once in a while. Because: no principle can stand its last consequence!

6th mnemonic:

To support your body’s daily detoxification performance, make sure you take enough vital and binding substances and regularly do a spring and autumn cleanse. Just like spring and autumn cleaning, you should also regularly cleanse the interior of your body.

7th mnemonic:

More species-appropriate exercise! Avoid lifts, escalators and the car for short journeys. Walk more and do more metabolically active exercise several times a week, i.e. not just yoga or meditation, but forced walking, running, cycling. Details on this with regard to possible chronic diseases can be found later in the section “Exercise”.
