THE DOUBLE E DIET, Part 3

By Dr. Saul Shaye

(The following dietary recommendations are not for people who live to eat. They are for people who want to feel better, have less pain and discomfort with their bodies, and have more energy.)

The recommendations:

First we must demonstrate what a very easy bowel movement should be.

1. Start the first day or two with fruit only (this can be one to three days depending on the individual) 

2. Add a cooked meal with green vegetables and 4 oz. or less meat product total for the whole day (cooked greens will be easier on the colon for digestion: this can be spinach, turnip greens, broccoli, cauliflower, green beans, etc.; I add stewed diced tomatoes Italian style for flavor as tomatoes are the only fruit that digests well with proteins and green vegetables. To start have about 16-32 oz. vegetables per meal. You can gradually increase that amount as your body gets use to ingesting that amount of vegetables till you comfortably reach a point that you eat as much green vegetables per meal as you want. Remember you can’t put on extra weight from eating green vegetables. The calories are so low and the fiber is so high that you could eat them all day and still loose weight. 

3. Experience some easy bowel movements over a number of days.This means easy soft bowel movements with no strain, and this means not runny or watery which may occur until your system has become normalized which may take a few days or longer. You absolutely have to experience the easy elimination first or you won’t have anything to compare it to.

Now you are ready to experiment if you want to have other foods in your diet, i.e. a protein or energy bar, a good high fiber slice of whole wheat bread or what ever. 

4. If you want to add something to this diet try that and see if the elimination gets changed the next day meaning harder fecal material or any strain. If it does then the body is showing you what it can tolerate and what it can’t. The body will show you what it can digest and absorb and then eliminate the rest or it’s saying I can’t digest, absorb and eliminate this without difficulty. Ask yourself is this food worth this discomfort or maybe it is but only on very special occasions. Only you can answer that. In this part you can get very creative. I found I could still eat my favorite meats during my meal but I cut it into tiny pieces and then had larger portions of vegetables with each small mouthful of meat.

In the medical library of Merck’s Manuals, it states under nutrients, ‘foods consumed in the daily diet contain as many as 100,000 substances, but only 300 are classified as nutrients, and only 45 are classified as essential nutrients. Food contains additives (such as preservatives, emulsifiers, antioxidants and stabilizers), which improve the production, storage, and packaging of foods, spices, flavors and substances that add odor or color and many other products that improve the appearance, taste and stability of food.’ My question is does any of these additives help or hinder digestion, absorption and elimination? Only you can answer that.
