Diet Plans And Menus - The Shelton Diet:

The Shelton Diet was created by Doctor Herbert Shelton. This is a strict vegetarian diet that does not allow eating fish, but does accept dairy products. Furthermore, dieters must not eat foods from more than one category during a given meal. For example, they may not eat eggs and yogurt at the same sitting. The low-calorie Shelton Diet lasts only seven days. Here are some of the diet principles.

Drink a lot of water, in particular spring water. Eat about 400 grams (14 ounces) of glucides daily. The diet divides fruits into different categories: acidic fruits such as pineapples, oranges, and tomatoes; semi-acidic fruits such as pears, apples, and grapes; and sweet fruits such as bananas, figs, and dates. Don’t mix fruits from different categories at the same meal. Eat 30 to 50 grams of protein a day. Eat 50 grams of lipids a day. Consume 25 grams of mineral foods a day. Chew your food extremely well. After a protein-rich meal you must wait four hours before eating starches or fruit. After a starchy meal you must wait four hours before eating proteins or fruits. After a fruit meal you must wait about two hours before eating proteins, starches, or vegetables. If you are allowed to eat a given food, you may eat as much as you want.
