DAVID GETOFF’S 30 DAY (4 week) EXPERIMENTAL HEALTH DIET

In order to determine how the foods we eat affect the way we feel, I recommend that you take
my one month trial. This is the way I generally eat so it cannot be THAT difficult!
Let me warn you up front that this trial will not work unless you are diligent about making
ALL of these changes strictly for the entire month, as I have outlined on the back of this
page.

The minimum period is 21 days (three full weeks)

You must not make just some of the changes or eliminate some of the foods. You must not
cheat “just a little. I suggest that you tell yourself---

This is only for 3 (or 4) weeks and I really want to see if I feel any differences, if my children
behave differently, and if anyone is diabetic, how well their blood sugar is regulated, when
certain foods are eliminated from our diets. (If you don’t want to have to start over, be strict)

Remember that although moderation is okay for many things, toxic foods and trigger foods can
effect us even in small quantities. In addition, they can remain in the body and continue to cause
these effects for many days and in some cases even two weeks, so for this test to work, you must
do it right. The third week can be the first week you begin to feel better for some people.

If you feel that you could not eat this way even for a few weeks, then I feel sorry for you, since it
means that society has turned you into a complete convenience food, zero will power junkie.
Many of my patients have felt so many beneficial changes after just 21 days, that they could not
believe how much food had been affecting their life and the lives of their children.

Remember, you are not really going on a diet, You are simply eating a
great deal healthier for 3 (or 4) short weeks.

I would wish you good luck, but luck has nothing to do with it. If you truly
care about your health or the health of your children, 21 days of a strict
eating plan is not that difficult and is generally well worth the effort.

If a food is not on the Allowed list, DON’T EAT IT! If you only do this test at the 90% level,
you have not done it at all. You must be 100% strict for this tiny little 3 week period.
So plan your food carefully. Be sure that you are not eating any packaged or canned foods since
they all have added ingredients that are not allowed. You can NEVER be sure what is or is not in
any restaurant food no matter what the waiter/waitress or chef tells you.
The best snack foods (unless allergic) are raw nuts. Walnuts, pine nuts, pecans, almonds, etc.
NOTE for those who have an extreme workout schedule such as triathletes, marathoners,
long distance cyclers, exercise instructors etc., You may need to have a small portion of
some cooked beans until your body regains it’s ability for efficient fat to energy conversion.
