Introduction
Hair loss is a very common lifestyle problem affecting millions of men and women all
over the world. According to a recent survey, approximately 35 million men and 21
million women are facing the problem of hair loss in the USA alone. It is estimated that
approximately 25% of men face the problem of baldness by age 30, and about 65%
actually become bald or develop a balding pattern by the time they are 60 years old.
Hundreds of medical researches have now shown that aging, hormonal imbalances and
heredity are the primary factors associated with hair loss and baldness problems. Both
males and females tend to lose hair thickness with the growing age, but pattern baldness
has been seen more in men than women. Sometimes unhealthy lifestyle and certain
medical conditions can also contribute to rapid hair loss and baldness.
Unfortunately, there are many myths surrounding hair loss and hair treatment
techniques. One of the popular myths is that hair loss in an irreversible process, but the
good news is that this is always not the case.
Fortunately, there are effective medications and other hair treatment options available
for preventing and even reversing the problem of hair loss.
Dietary and lifestyle changes have also been found to reverse the symptoms of hair loss
and baldness in certain conditions. The purpose of this eBook is to provide readers an in-
depth understanding of this common problem and best medications and treatments
available to deal with the hair loss and baldness problems.
Chapter 1 : Facts About Hair
Human beings have an average of 5 million hair on

the body, out of which 100,000 and 150,000 hair are
on the scalp. Each of the hair is composed of keratin,
regarded as the most powerful protein in the nature.
As hair is formed by the strongest protein, it is
incredibly strong too. It is estimated that an average
head of 120,000 hair, if bundled together, could
withstand the strain of 12 tons (10,886 kilograms),
provided the scalps were strong enough.
Hair is also the fastest growing tissue in the body.

Human hair grows at a speed of about 1 cm every month (5 inches per year) and keeps
on growing for up to 6 years. After completing its cycle, the hair eventually falls out and a
new hair starts growing in its place.
Hair Anatomy
Human hair consists of the hair shaft and the root. The hair shaft comprises the cuticle,
the outer protective layer; cortex, the strong middle layer; and the medulla, the soft
central core. The root is a soft thickened bulb that ends in a small sac-like structure
underneath the skin called the hair follicle. The follicle in turn contains the papilla, which
nourishes the root of the hair through an artery. It is the follicle where hair are actually
produced.
Hair Follicle: A hair follicle is a tiny cup-shaped skin organ measuring about 3-4 mm in
length. It is the point where hair shaft are produced and starts to grow. The hair follicle
comprises of the dermal papillae, matrix, inner root sheath (IRS), outer root sheath (ORS),
and the hair shaft. Some glands are also attached to the hair follicles, including the
sebum producing sebaceous gland. Sebum is the natural skin nourishing oil that helps in
the growth of the hair.
People with the higher number of sebaceous glands tend to have wider follicles, which
in turn are associated with thicker hair shafts.
Dermal Papilla: The most important part of the hair follicle is the dermal papilla, which
nourishes the follicle. Hair grows as new cells are formed in the papilla. These cells keep
moving upward through the skin as more new cells are formed beneath them. Gradually,
old hair cells are cut off from the papilla and eventually die.
The hair shaft that is visible to us is composed of these dead cells and keratin, the hard
protein that provides strengths to the hair. A person becomes bald when the dermal
papilla becomes inactive and stops producing new cells. Most hair medications target to
activate the dermal papilla or hair bulbs to produce new cells.
The dermal papilla also contains melanocytes cells that produce a pigment called
melanin, which gives the hair its color. People with small amount of melanin tend to have
blonde or red hair. With the advancement in age, the melanin production decreases and
eventually stops, making the hair turn gray.
Hair Growth Cycle

Each hair follicle goes through a cycle of a long period of
growth followed by a short period of rest. The periods of
growth and rest coincide with the cell formation and
non-formation in the papilla dermis respectively. During
the short rest period the hair remains attached to the
follicle but stops growing further. After the resting
phase, the hair falls out and a new hair growth cycle
starts in its place. With the progression in age, hair
follicles start spending more and more time in the
resting phase, and eventually stop producing new hair.
Each hair follicle goes through three cycles that are

repeated around 15-20 times in our lifetime, until it finally dies. These three phases are
known as Anagen- the growth phase, Catagen- the regressing phase, and the Telogen-
the resting phase. This process continues until the follicle finally dies.
Anagen Phase: At any given time, about 80-90% of hair follicles are in Anagen phase in a
normal scalp. In this phase
Follicles are in active growth

Cells in papilla divide rapidly
Hair grows about 1 cm every month
Hair bulb produces melanin
Phase continues for 2 to 7 years depending on genetics
Hair looks thick and nourished
Catagen Phase: At the conclusion of the Anagen phase, the hair follicle enters into a
short transitional phase before going to rest. This short phase is called the Catagen
phase which lasts for a period of 2 to 3 weeks. At any given time, about 1-2% of hair
follicles are in the Catagen phase. In this phase
Hair follicle detaches from the papilla and blood supply stops
Detached follicle slowly shrink in size
Papilla stops producing melanin
Hair bulb is pushed upwards as new cells are formed in papilla
Telogen Phase: This is the final

phase in the hair follicle growth
cycle. It is the resting phase when
the hair begins to fall and
replaced by a new hair. In this
stage, fifty to hundred hair are
shed daily from a normal scalp.
Due to extreme stress and certain
diseases, as much as 70% of hair
follicle can prematurely enter
into Telogen phase, causing a
noticeable hair loss. In this phase
Hair follicles become weak and thin

50 - 100 hair are shed daily in a normal scalp
10 - 15 % of the hair follicles are always in this phase
Period lasts for 3 months before the hair falls out
Composition of Hair
Hair is made up of proteins, lipids (fats), water, melanin granules and minerals. Keratin,
the most powerful protein in the nature, is the primary component of hair accounting for
65-95% of the total hair fiber by weight. Besides hair, Keratin also forms a major part of
the cells in the epidermis, nails, feathers, hooves, horny tissues and the enamel of teeth.
Hair is composed of the following substances:
Proteins: These form the main components of hair. Keratin is the most important
protein, made up of amino acids.
Minerals: Many minerals such as zinc, iron, selenium, magnesium, aluminium, calcium,
copper, sulphur, and lead are found in the hair.
Water: Water is present in variable percentage in the hair depending on the health of
the hair shaft and the humidity levels in the environment.
Lipids: Their presence is principally due to the sebum, the natural skin nourishing oil
produced by sebaceous glands.
Pigments: Produced in papilla, they give colors to the hair, in particular melanin.
Chapter 2 : Hair Loss and its Causes
Hair loss is a common problem in both men and

women. Most people lose between 50 and 100 hair
from their scalp every day, but this is a normal part of
the hair growth cycle for the replacement of old hair
with the new ones. But when more hair are lost than
the scalp is able to produce, it's considered a hair loss.
Alopecia is the medical term that refers to any type of
hair loss, thinning hair or baldness in humans.
Causes of Hair Loss

There are many factors that contribute to hair loss and baldness in men and women.
Genetics (heredity), illness, and unhealthy lifestyle have been recognized as major
causes for the hair loss and baldness in humans.
Androgenic Alopecia
Also referred to as male pattern baldness, this type of hair loss and balding is caused by
genetic (heredity) reasons. It is the most common cause of hair loss and baldness in men.
Although not proved yet, it's widely believed that if your mother's side of the family had
male pattern baldness, it is more likely that you will have it too. Father's side tendency of
male pattern baldness can also pose a possibility of baldness in people.
Androgenic Alopecia can affect both men and women, although women facing this
condition do not become totally bald. Men with Androgenic Alopecia can face severe hair
loss problem as early as their teens or early 20s, while women don't experience
noticeable hair loss until their 40s.
Although it is not fully understood how family genes are responsible in the progression
of male pattern baldness, but several studies have shown that androgens such as
testosterone and its by products can be responsible for it. In our body, testosterone is
broken down into an androgen called dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which is responsible
for the development of beard and moustache in males.
Male pattern baldness seems to be sensitive to the levels of DHT in our body. It has been
found that excessive production of DHT in the body leads to progressive shortening of
the Anagen (growing) phase in the hair follicles, resulting into decreased time for the hair
growth. Also the length of Telogen (resting) phase increases leading to a reduction in
total hair density.
Alopecia Areata
Alopecia areata is the second most common from of Alopecia. It refers to a condition that
causes well-defined oval or circular patches, and can lead to total baldness of scalp,
which is termed as alopecia totalis. In rare cases it can affect the entire body, which is
termed as alopecia univarsalis. It is not clear why alopecia areata develops, but most of
people link it to autoimmune disorder.
About 20% of patients with this condition have been found to have a family history of
the disease. It can affect men, women, and children. The disease is self treating in nature
and usually clears within 6 to 12 months without any treatment. If it persists for longer,
the chances of recovery are substantially reduced.
Scarring Alopecia
Also known as cicatrical alopecia, scarring alopecia can be caused by many types of skin
diseases such as acne necroticia, lichen planopilaris, and lupus erythematosus that could
cause inflammation of the scalp. Radiation therapy used in cancer treatments can also
cause this condition. Hair loss can occur as a result of scalp trauma and is curable
through hair transplantation surgery.
Involutional Alopecia
This is a natural condition in which the hair gradually falls with the progression in age. As
we age, more and more hair follicles go into the resting phase, and eventually stop
producing new hair.
Telogen Effluvium
Sometimes a large number of hair follicles in the

Anagen (active) phase enter the Telogen (resting)
phase at the same time, causing a large portion of your
hair to fall without any warning. Stress has been found
to be the main factor contributing to this condition,
and recovery is complete with improvements in
mental and physical health conditions. Full recovery
may take up to six month or even longer.
Medications
Hair loss can be a side effect of a wide range of medications. Blood-thinning

medications, oral contraceptives, antidepressants, vitamin A, and beta and calcium
channel blockers have been found to be associated with hair loss and baldness. Some
chemotherapy drugs used for cancer treatment are known to cause total hair loss,
although temporarily.
Thyroid Problems
Both hypothyroidism, or an overactive thyroid, or hyperthyroidism, are known to cause

substantial hair loss due to hormonal imbalances. Hormones help to regulate nearly
every function in the body, including hair growth. Curing the thyroid problem solves this
Fungal Infections
Fungal infections of the scalp can cause hair loss prepubartal patients. Curing the
infection through oral anti fungal drugs or cream resolves this condition.
Physical Trauma
Areas of scalp which are traumatized due to an accident, surgery, or burns can result in
permanent hair loss if the underlying follicles are damaged.
Diet Deficiencies
The lack of essential nutrients, minerals and vitamins in our diets can also cause hair
loss. Poor nutrition and zinc and iron deficiencies are the most common deficiencies
found to cause hair loss.
Extreme Hair Care
Over use of shampooing, blow-drying and repeatedly using heated styling tools can all
lead to hair loss. Hair treatments like dying, straightening, and perming can also cause
great damage to hair if they are overused or used incorrectly.
Chapter 3 : Common Myths, Dos and Donts

Associated with Hair Loss
Losing hair can be a very emotional and painful
experience for an individual. It is heartening to see all
those cherished hair locks flowing away brutally in the
shower everyday. Hair loss is a disheartening and
devastating experience that can seriously damage the
self esteem and social life of a person. Hectic
schedules, changing lifestyles and increasing work
pressures normally keep us away from providing the
required care to our tresses. 4 in 10 women and 8 in
10 men suffer from hair loss. Each person's situation is
different from the other person's condition. However
there are a few do's and don'ts associated with hair loss that will assist you in taking
proper care of your hair health.
Dos
Start the treatment as early as possible
Whenever you start experiencing a receding hairline or thinning of

your hair, it is very crucial to start a treatment as soon as possible.
The sooner you seek treatment for hair loss, the more chances you
have of recovery.
Do massage your hair
Massaging does not directly contribute to hair growth. However massaging your hair and
scalp increases the blood flow to the scalp that assists in a proper re-growth of hair.
Although keep in mind that the massage should be gentle and not very rigorous to affect
the newly growing hair.
10 Hair Loss - A Primer 15
Keep your hair short
Gone are the college days when you sported long and luscious locks. Age is settling
down and it is natural for the hairline to recede. Short hair help you in more effectively
concealing those unwanted bald patches that longer hair styles accentuate.
Gently dry your hair
Vigorous rubbing and rough towels can severely worsen the situation. Rough handling of
the hair results in breaking down of the finer hair, in addition to completely wiping of the
newer growth. Needless to say, do not wrestle with your hair. Else pat it dry with a soft
towel after shower.
Go for hair trimming
Split ends prevent hair growth. Cut split ends in order to prevent the spread of the
damage to the hair shaft.
Eat Healthy
Just like our body, hair also needs proper nourishing. Eat a proper balanced diet that is
rich in Vitamin A, B and E, calcium, selenium, iron and lenoleic acid to fertilize the hair
follicles.
Use thickening products
It is recommended to use hair thickening products and conditioners as they can not only
help in protecting the new growth, but will also facilitate you in properly masquerading
De-stress yourself
Several traumas, injuries and stress can lead to a temporary halting of the hair growth as
well as hair production. It is therefore recommended to de-stress yourself and keep a
positive outlook that will indirectly lead to a better scalp and hair health.
Be Patient
Just like hair loss, hair re-growth is also a slow process. Do not panic and stop treatment
if you do not see any results for a few months. Have patience in your treatment and
move on to other important things in life.
Donts
Don't Panic
If you are experiencing hair loss, there is no need to panic. It is

normal for a person to lose around hundred strands in a day and
such hair is replaced by a new hair shaft. However if you are losing
more than normal hair and baldness has started to settle in, then go for a medical
treatment. Stress and depression worsens the problem and it is much better to get
professional help and move on to the other important things in life.
Don't comb over or use bristled brush after washing
It is strictly advised not to comb your hair or use a bristled brush when wet. Hair when
wet is most susceptible and heavy brushing can tear down bunches from your scalp. It is
recommended to use bare fingers for styling.
Do not excessively use hair styling products and hair dyes
Gels, sprays, hair creams help in holding your hair together. However most of the styling
products contain harmful chemicals that can weaken the already thinning and depleting
hair. Even most of the shampoos can damage the hair owing to various harsh chemicals
ingredients. Choose a natural product to give your hair the nutrients it requires. In
addition, excess ironing can also damage the hair by making it frizzy, brittle and dry,
causing more hair breakage.
Do not excessively tighten your hair
Some hair styles such as cornrows, ponytails, tight plaits, as well as winding very tightly
on rollers exert excessive pressure on the hair roots that eventually lead to breakage and
hair fall.
Do not take caffeinated products and alcohol
Products rich in caffeine such as coffee, as well as carbonated sodas and alcohol hamper
the proper growth of the hair. Avoid taking such products if you are going through the
treatment for hair loss.
Do not start treatment without consulting a doctor
Every person has a different hair fall condition and do not blindly follow the treatment
your friends and colleagues have undertaken. Consult a specialist before trying a new
hair fall treatment.
Myths associated with hair loss
Going bald is not easy for anyone. Despite the

suspicions that one is going bald and the
associated stress with it, there are vast rumors that
can worsen the condition. Let us find out the major
myths and the actual facts
Myth1: If you are balding, then it means you are

getting old
Fact: Hair loss does not mean that you are ageing.
Baldness can strike in teens, as well as in people in their 20s and 30s. Baldness is related
to genes, illness and lifestyle and it does not have anything to do with aging.
Myth 2: Baldness is passed from the mother's side.
Fact: This statement is not completely true. The main baldness gene is found on the X
chromosome that is transferred to men from their mothers. However there are many
other factors that are responsible for hair loss. Researches have suggested that men who
have a bald father are more plausible to experience baldness as compared to men who
do not.
Myth 3: Only men suffer from baldness.
Fact: Baldness is often perceived as a man's issue, however over 40% women suffer from
hair loss and thinning of hair all through their life.
Myth 4: Wearing a hat triggers baldness
Fact: It is a general notion that wearing a hat causes baldness as it strains the hair
follicles. In addition people think that wearing a hat prevents the scalp from breathing.
However wearing a cap has nothing to do with baldness. In reality, blood stream provides
oxygen to hair follicles and not air. Dirty hats can cause an infection to the scalp, which
in turn can lead to baldness, otherwise wearing a hat is completely safe and doe not
trigger baldness.
Myth 5: Losing a bunch of hair daily is a sign of baldness.
Fact: It is commonly perceived that if you witness massive strands of hair falling, it is a
sign of severe hair fall. In reality it is a natural process for a human being to lose around
hundred strands of hair per day.
Myth 6: Clogged pored cause hair loss.
Fact: This is another prevalent myth that baldness is caused by clogged pores. If baldness
was caused by clogged pores than rigorous and routine shampooing would have been
the best cure for it.
Myth 7: Decreased blood flow to the hair scalp causes hair loss.
Fact: Decreased blood flow is not a cause of hair loss. It is a result of hair loss. Blood flow
to the scalp decreases when a person is going through hair loss. Sufficient blood flow to
the scalp is required for the growth of new hair. However owing to a decrease in blood
flow due to hair loss, the new growth does not get enough blood flow, resulting in a
stunted growth.
Myth 8: High testosterone levels are responsible for baldness in men.
Fact: Hair loss occurs due to the increased sensitivity of hair follicles to
dihydrotestosterone (DHT) that causes the hair follicles to thin out and disappear. If high
levels of testosterone were responsible for hair loss, then hair from the body should
have been lost as well.
Myth 9: Regular shampooing triggers hair loss.
Fact: When people start experiencing the problem of hair loss, they start panicking every
time they notice hair in the bathtub after shampooing. Thinking hair loss is caused by
frequent shampooing, most people stop shampooing and the hair that would otherwise
come out in a wash, accumulate on the head that come out during the next wash,
confirming the suspicions.
Myth 10: The more you indulge in sex, the more you lose hair.
Fact: People normally connect sexual activity with hair loss stating that the more a man
ejaculates the more he experiences hair loss. However, there is no proven theory to
substantiate any relation between sex and hair loss.
Myth 11: Washing your hair with cold water helps you reduce hair loss.
Fact: Contrary to popular belief, washing your hair with cold water does not improve hair
loss condition. Washing your hair with cold water only improves blood circulation which
is good for the overall scalp health.
Myth 12: Brushing and massaging can reduce hair fall.
Fact: Brushing and massaging only improve the blood circulation and does not improve
the hair fall condition.
Myth 13: Hair fall has nothing to do with hormones
Fact: Hormones play a crucial role in hair loss. Several women experience hair loss after
pregnancy due to hormone imbalance. Women who suffer from polycystic ovary
syndrome may also experience hair loss. Moreover, fluctuations in the function of thyroid
gland can also cause hair loss.
Celebrity Treatment
Hair loss is a problem that not only pertains to common people. It is a condition that
affects celebrities as well. Apparently hair loss affects people from every field and in
most of the cases, many celebrities shy away from telling the truth.
There are various global celebrities from diverse fields such as entertainment, sports and
politics that have witnessed the problem of hair loss. So what happens when a celebrity
notices more hair in his comb than on his hair? What do the celebrities do to disguise the
thinning tresses and bald patches? Various famous celebrities that have undergone the
scalpel include
Shane Warne - Ever since the Australian cricket legend discovered that he has started
developing a receding hairline, the spin bowling magician planned to do something
about it. Shane Warne underwent hair transplant and today his hair look even more
irresistible.
Jude Law - The Hollywood heartthrob is the latest to join the league of celebrities who
have taken treatment for hair loss. The actor's looks have gone a complete change with
an impressive hair re-growth. As per the sources, the actor underwent a treatment that
involved injecting vitamins into his scalp for promoting hair growth.
Sir Elton John - Sir Elton John has confirmed that after years of wearing wigs and
toupees, he finally underwent the hair replacement treatment in the late 90s that gained
much tabloid attention.
Mel Gibson - The 'braveheart' of Hollywood reportedly had a hair treatment for a visible
receding mane and thin hair. However the actor never publicly admitted of getting a hair
treatment.
Kevin Costner - The several time academy awards winning actor known for his
powerhouse performances, finally underwent hair transplant therapy for his receding
hairline.
David Beckham - The original pinup boy of soccer had a terrible awakening when the
tabloid started showing pictures of him sporting a bald patch. The soccer star now after
undergoing the treatment sports amazingly fine hair.
Neve Campbell - The actress was just 23 when she suffered from Alopecia Areata. Neve
underwent hair therapy and now has hair that is enviable of other actresses.
Mathew McConaughey - Believe it or not but the Wedding Planner star faced serious hair
problems. However after a successful hair transplant, he is back to his irresistible looks.
Chapter 4 : Prevention and Treatments
There can be several reasons for the loss of hair and

baldness, including genetics, stress, medical
conditions and lifestyle changes. Generalized hair loss
caused due to certain illness, infections, or mineral
and vitamins deficiencies are usually temporary in
nature and most of people manage to get their hair
back with proper treatments.
Prompt treatments of underlying diseases such as

Thyroid problem and fungal infections, and
maintaining a healthy lifestyle to reduce stress can
help prevent hair loss. Patchy hair loss caused by alopecia areata resolves on its own
within six months to a year.
Balding in men is a normal process, if it doesn't happen prematurely. There are several
effective treatment options available to cure premature hair fall and baldness in both
men and women. Present day drug treatments for this condition are designed to reverse
the normal and natural course of events. Basically there seems to be just two
medications available today to prevent hair loss and regrow the lost hair.
Medications
There are only two medications - Minoxidil and Finasteride that have been approved for
use in prevention and treatment of hair loss.
Minoxidil (Rogaine): Minoxidil comes in the form of

cream, which is applied to the scalp to rejuvenate the
hair follicles and stimulate hair growth in men and
women. It has been found to bring down loss of hair
in 90% of men.
Finasteride: It is an oral drug used to treat hair loss.

The drug is approved for use in men only. It has been
found to may slow the loss of hair in about 83% of
men.
Camouflage Techniques
There are two techniques used in camouflaging (hiding) - toupees and hairpieces, and
hair weaving.
Toupees and Hairpieces
Toupees and hairpieces can be used to hide the visible baldness on the scalp. They are
made of either artificial fiber or natural hair and are matched in color, thickness, and hair
length with your existing hair to give them a natural look.
Hair Weaving
This technique is used to braid onto artificial or natural hair in the remaining natural hair
on the scalp. Some of the natural hair is braided together to act as an anchor onto which
artificial hair tufts are sewn, woven, knitted, or glued. However the anchoring needs to be
tightened every six to eight weeks, as the natural hair grows with the time.
Plastic Surgery Techniques

There are four types of plastic surgery techniques widely used in treating baldness.
Hair Transplantation
This is the most popular traditional technique used to cover bald areas of the scalp with
hair. Follicles of bald scalp are removed and then filled with plugs of scalp containing
several hair roots taken from healthy hair-bearing areas. Several operations may be
required.
Scalp Flap Transfer
In this technique a long thin "flap" of hair-bearing scalp is removed and replaced across
a bald patch. Parts of the bald scalp may also be removed. This technique can be used to
replace hair across the bald scalp. The new hair growth after this procedure appears to
be normal.
Skin Expansion
Skin expansion is the other popular technique available to treat baldness. This
technique can produce excellent results, but fear of infection involved with implanted
foreign material is always there.
Serial Excision
In this technique, much of the bald area is surgically removed in the first operation. Then
the remaining hair-bearing areas of scalp are pulled in close to the bald area. If required,
this process can be repeated many more times to completely cover the bald area.

transitioning from
the 21-day sugar detox
to everyday life
Often the last week of the 21DSD leaves you wondering how youll ease back into your normal life, or
what foods you want to splurge on now that the program is over.
Heres my take on how to re-introduce foods after your detox has come to an end.
Before jumping off the deep-end and burying yourself in a pile of grain-free baked goods or a bottle of
wine, consider the following:
+ How do you feel now that youve changed your food?

+ How do you think youll feel if you eat something you estimate is less-than-healthy for you?
+ If you think youll feel less-than-optimal, how long will that feeling last?
+ Will the ill-health effects of the foods you want to eat again last more than a
couple of hours? More than a day? More than a week?
+ What will you be disrupting with the foods: blood sugar or digestive function?
+ Has the time and energy commitment thats gone into avoiding the food(s)
added more stress to your life than it alleviated signs and symptoms of ill health?
Ultimately its up to you to choose what and how often youll add certain foods back into your
regularly scheduled food programming, but considering the above questions is a good idea. Youll
become a lot more MINDFUL of your choices, rather than allowing them to become defaults simply
because they are habits or they represent the easy way out.
To safely and slowly add some naturally occurring sugars (like fruit) and starches back into your
diet, take care to consider the portions and timing of these foods. Fruits should not be eaten alone
if you have had problems with blood sugar regulation and cravings. Eat small portions of berries or
half a piece of fruit if youre not a very active person, or larger portions if you are more active. Starchy
foods are best consumed on days when you are more active, and specifically in the meal following
your activity. Otherwise, keep portions of starchy foods to a minimum, and dont allow them to mo-
nopolize your plate if weight maintenance is your goal. If you simply want to avoid cravings and you
feel okay when you resume eating some starchy foods, then you can enjoy root vegetables, tubers like
sweet potatoes, and squash more frequently.
Continue to avoid refined foods such as bread, pasta, cereal, and other products made from flour
and purchased in packagesthese are never healthy options.

post-detox
food re-introduction
1. Print out the Post-Detox Food Re-Introduction Log and begin tracking any new symptoms as
you reintroduce new foods. Print one log for each food you reintroduce. On day three of every
introduction, make an assessment on how that food may or may not fit into your everyday eating
plan.
2. Select one food to reintroduce at a time, then chart for that day and the following two days - a
total of 3 days / 72 hours.
3. Using the chart, detail foods you ate each day and note any changes in the following for
three days:
Mood
Energy
Appetite
Digestive function like bloating, gas, loose stool or diarrhea
Headaches
Inflammation
Brain fog or mental clarity.
4. Assess your reactions. Your notes will be some of the best guides you have as to whether or not
you are sensitive to the food you just re-introduced. Food sensitivity reactions can happen immediate-
ly or can have delayed-onset for up to around 72hrs (3 days!).
Once the first food has been tested, select the next food to try and continue this way, one at a time, for
three days at a time, before introducing the next new food.
NOTE: I dont actually recommend EVER re-introducing gluten containing grains like wheat, barley,
rye and oats into your diet, nor do I recommend making pasteurized dairy or unfermented soy prod-
ucts any regular part of your life. These foods are shown to contribute to a myriad of health problems
and, typically, tend to crowd-out much more health promoting options like vegetables, well-raised
meat & eggs and healthy, naturally occurring fats in the diet.

Some foods to first consider reintroducing:

+ Fruit: Whole, fresh fruit can certainly have a regularly appearing role in your diet, but
finding a balance and not overdoing it is important.
+ Grass-fed dairy (if you were on Level 3 of the detox): Missing your yogurt? Try adding it
back in and see how you do. I recommend only buying grass-fed forms of dairy to consume in
your home, but you may find you can later enjoy goat cheese in an omelet while dining out from
time to time with no ill effects. Or not. See how it goes for you.
+ Dark chocolate: Im talking 80-85% or higher its low in sugar and a good source of
antioxidants. Most folks dont tend to overindulge in too much of it when its super dark. Look
for an organic chocolate, preferably soy-free.
+ Gluten-free grains or legumes (if you were on Level 2 or 3 of the detox): if you want to
test white rice, quinoa, or maybe some black beans, theyre a good choice to add in and track.
+ A glass of wine: Now, Im not one to vote for you to drink daily after your detox, but
finding out how you feel after consuming wine again if you previously drank often is a good
idea. Perhaps you dont find it triggers cravings for you, or you dont have any hangover effects.
If thats the case, including a glass once or twice a week again may work well for you.

guide to: paleo foods
Eat whole foods. Avoid foods that are modern, processed, and refined. Eat as close to nature as possible, and avoid
foods that cause stress for the body (blood sugar, digestion, etc.). Eat nutrient-dense foods to maintain energy levels.
Enjoy your food, and hold positive thoughts while you consume it.

guide to: food quality
Seek out as much real, whole food as possible. This includes foods without health claims on the packages or, better
yet, not in packages at all. Think produce and butcher counter meats and seafood. After youve mastered making
proper food choices, its important to begin looking at the quality of the items. While buying the best quality is
ideal in a perfect world, dont let those best labels keep you from doing the best you can within your means.

guide to: fats & oils
Cleaning up your diet by using the right fats and oils is essential to improving your health from the inside out.
Changing the fats and oils you use at home is the first step toward creating dishes from nutrient-dense, whole
foods based on what you have on hand. Avoid overly processed and refined forms of fats and oils. Opt for
organic whenever possible. Refer to the Guide to Cooking Fats for more details.

guide to: sweeteners
How many of these sweeteners do you use or find in your favorite packaged foods? Perhaps its time for
a change! Artificial sweeteners are never recommended, while the limited use of selected, more naturally
derived options can be okay for treats and special occasions. Sweeteners should not be considered
food or nourishment.

guide to: gluten
What is it? Gluten is a protein found in wheat, rye oats, and barley. Gluten is the composite of a prolamin
and a glutelin, which exist, conjoined with starch, in the endosperm of various grass-related grains. Gliadin,
a water-soluble, and glutenin, a water-insoluble, (the prolamin and glutelin from wheat) compose about
80% of the protein contained in wheat seed. Being insoluble in water, they can be purified by washing
away the associated starch. Worldwide, gluten is a source of protein, both in foods prepared directly
from sources containing it, and as an additive to foods otherwise low in protein.
