Question
1- Is it really that simple? Can food
really cure my illness?
Answer:
Research
has proven, time and time again that many illnesses can be cured
by adopting certain diets such as ‘whole foods diets, juice
detox and raw foods diets, So the answer is yes.
Question
2 -The ‘healthy eating lifestyle’
is expensive and unrealistic. How can I do it on a budget?
Answer:
Healthy
eating is not at all expensive. Junk food not only costs more
by making you eat more portions than you need but also costs more
in the long term due to regular trips to the doctor!
Question
3 - Are your meal plans realistic or will
I have to look for hard to find ‘diet’ foods?
Answer:
In creating meal plans, we incorporate foods found in your local
environment so that you can easily find them at your local market
or supermarket. We present you with healthy alternatives to your
current foods. E.g. grilled plantain (Boli) instead of Fried plantain
(Dodo)
Question
4 - How come I only lose 8 to 15 pounds
a month on your program? I have heard of many diets that claim
to lose up to 40 pounds a month.
Answer:
Results vary greatly depending on several factors such as fitness,
starting weight, commitment level as well as individual body types.
We recommend that people lose no more than 8 to 15 pounds per month
as this is the safest and most maintainable amount of weight loss.
Any more than that is water and valuable muscle. The faster you
lose weight, the faster you gain it back with extra pounds.
Question
5 - Is your diet a high protein diet?
Answer:
No
it is not. It is a moderate protein diet, focusing on complex
slow releasing carbohydrates, essential fats and healthy sources
of protein.
Question
6 - If I count calories, do I have to
exercise?.
Answer:
Exercise is very important because it greatly increases aerobic
capacity, muscle strength and muscle function as well as being
good for the heart and lungs. Exercising regularly with strength
training can prevent the muscle loss associated with dieting and
can rev up the metabolism

8 - You recommend many vitamins and supplements,
are they really necessary?
Answer:
Vitamins
are necessary in almost everyone’s diet, especially in the
high stress, polluted environment and with age our vitamin requirements
change.
The
minimum everyone should take is a good multivitamin and B complex
for vegetarians and women of menstruating age. There are some
foods such as Spirulina that that contain almost all vitamins
and minerals for those that do not like popping pills!
Question
9 - Where do I buy the vitamins that you
recommend?

We
will point you in the direction of reputable suppliers. This is
totally independent and we have not been paid by them to advertise.
