THE INITIAL
10-DAY DIET
The following diet plan will help you to eliminate and relieve your LPR as quickly as possible.

You don’t necessarily need to adhere exactly to the recipes below; you can also supplement this plan with your own recipes,
provided that they meet the following criteria: they should be low in acid, low in fat and promote good digestion.

If any of the recipes contain an ingredient which you cannot eat—or, if you’d like to add an additional ingredient to the
recipe—feel free to substitute as needed. In this case, it’s best to check the included list of approved ingredients when
deciding which to use.

The book is sorted by recipe type; for example, “soups” or “pastas.” To facilitate easy recipe finding, I’ve linked
each of the meals in the plan below to its corresponding recipe. The only exceptions are a few recipes which
are so self-explanatory that no recipe is necessary.

THE POST-DIET
PHASE
This 10-Day Initial Diet will help you to quickly reduce your LPR.

These recipes are examples to show you what your daily diet could look like. Of course, you can use your own recipes as
long as the recipes follow the principles of the course: they should be low in acid, low in fat and good for your digestion.

Don’t forget that the first 10 days are just the beginning. Many patients see a great improvement of their symptoms
after 10 days. However, for some, it may take weeks, or in extreme cases a few months, until the symptoms improve and
eventually go away.

Stick to this healthy diet and you’ll completely defeat your LPR!
