Devotion Diet

None! You choose what you like to eat. That’s where the proprietary Glycemic Timing Principle comes into play. Basically, it’s not what you eat, it’s when you eat it. :)

No! Keep buying what you usually do at the grocery store. Everything on this nutritional plan is available there. We’ve provided Cooking and Grocery Tips on the site to save you from those costly ‘health food products’.

The foods you have chosen will be in color-coded sections. Then follow the color pattern for each meal.

Choose all the foods that you like. Do not be concerned about the quality or perceived goodness of the choices. The essence of your DEVOTION DIET is satisfying and appreciating your personal likes and dislikes. Each choice has a ‘type’, ‘preparation’ and ‘serving size’ category. These will not be printed on the GOAL. Most are usually common sense. Others you can probably remember. For those choices that are difficult to recall throughout your journey with DEVOTION DIET, types, preparation and serving size info will be available via email and soon to be available on the website. The serving size noted on the packaged food product holds a higher rank than the serving size listed with the Devotion Diet, if there is a difference. Always use good judgment when the serving size is unknown. Keep in mind the old “palm of the hand” rule. Of course, a palm of brown rice is a lot healthier than a palm of doughnuts. Feed your mind and emotions before your belly. Most choices from the ‘Fast Food’ section are identical to a home prepared version of the same food, for the practicality of this diet. Any differences will be either noted in the ‘types’ category, or listed in its own appropriate section. Homemade, canned and boxed soups are to be recognized the same, unless otherwise noted. If using a condiment that is a +1 (plus 1), a yellow food becomes a red food, and similarly, a red food becomes a blue food. A +1 (plus 1) condiment should not be used with a blue food, unless it is a “cheat” meal or (once in a while) in cases of a person who is hitting their goals consistently. Again, use good judgment. Free foods can be eaten at any time and encouraged at every meal. These foods will fill you up without too much effect on the blood sugar. Usually the amount should not exceed a regular serving size, however if you are feel that you are going to be left unsatisfied with your current meal or snack, then by all means have a larger amount of “free” food. This is a whole lot better than satisfying your hunger with more than the recommended serving size of your food choice or junk foods. Please read and review the ‘Approved Proteins and Fats’ section periodically. A protein should be eaten at every meal and snack. Keep in mind that boiled, grilled and baked meats are far better than fried and breaded. Use herbs and spices to liven up meats. One serving each of beans and rice forms a complete protein. Beans that are soaking in sugar and white rice should not be considered. For the consideration of heart health, Approved Fats should not be avoided. However, a “good” fat gram still packs a whopping 9 calories, so use sparingly, even less than the serving size suggests.
