The items in this list are arranged in order of importance.

  1. Do not eat animal food (this includes fish and chicken)

  2. Do not eat dairy (including yogurt, sherbet, skimmed milk)

  3. Do not eat oil (including olive oil)

  4. Do not eat white flour products. The ingredients must be whole grain:  whole wheat, whole rye, spelt, brown rice, etc.

  5. Do not eat avocados (including guacamole) or coconuts. Eat olives in moderation.
