Whole foods. Thoughtful choices.

Step 1: a fruit-focused morning

The published framework begins with a variety of fruit before noon. The original guide includes body-weight-based quantities; discuss portions and suitability with your clinician or dietitian rather than treating a website formula as your prescription.

Step 2: the two-plate meal

For lunch and dinner, the guide describes vegetables and salad first, followed by home-cooked vegetarian food with little salt and oil. It also emphasizes an earlier evening meal. Your care team should assess any change to meal timing.

Step 3: food choices and daily habits

The framework limits refined and packaged foods and excludes animal foods, including dairy. Its guide also discusses daylight and plant-based snacks. Nutritional needs and existing care should guide how these ideas apply to you.

Your needs come first

A major dietary change can affect medication needs and nutritional balance. If you have diabetes, kidney disease, a food allergy, are pregnant or are planning for a child, get advice from an appropriately qualified clinician or dietitian.

Bring your questions

Discuss your current meals, medicines, health history and practical needs. A plan should be realistic for your household and reviewed as your circumstances change.

• Bring a list of current medicines.
• Mention allergies and existing conditions.
• Ask how progress will be monitored.

Keep your current treatment in place

Do not stop medicines, insulin or dialysis on the basis of this website. Dietary education does not promise a cure, a particular result or a replacement for necessary medical treatment.
