If you are hungry before lunchtime you may have fruit, diluted fruit
juices, or fruit smoothies (banana, apples, grapes, cinnamon, cardamom,
vanilla extract, and rose water or lemon juice pureed in the blender). Stop
all fruit or fruit juices at least an hour before lunch: it is best, while on
this program, not to mix fruit and vegetables together.
Lunch: a salad incorporating a dressing of olive oil, raw apple cider
vinegar, lemon juice, and any herbs and raw spices of your choice.

and watercress are very benefi cial and tasty. Drink potassium broth (see
under “Kitchen Basics” in chapter 4).
Afternoon snacks: raw vegetables, diluted vegetable juices, sprouts,
potassium broth, herb teas. All vegetable food must be stopped by 4:00
