PART TWO: LET FOOD BE YOUR MEDICINE
Part of that oath that physicians take when we receive our medical degrees addresses the topic of food—it asks doctors to “apply dietetic measures for the benefit of the sick.” Hippocrates, the father of Western medicine, was way ahead of his time in the fifth century BC when he recognized the crucial role that diet played in optimal health and wrote the words, “Let food be thy medicine, and medicine be thy food.” Those words have never been truer than they are now, with hundreds of thousands of Americans dying prematurely each year because of the foods they eat.
When patients leave the emergency room, they usually walk out with a handful of prescriptions and appointments for follow-up visits with their doctors. The medical care providers in the ER save lives with STAT treatment, but once the patients are stabilized, they work with their own doctors to figure out a long-term plan to restore their health.
The prescriptions most doctors issue are for medications. But when a doctor medicates problems such as heart disease and diabetes without suggesting major changes to a patient’s diet, the patient is missing out on a big part of his or her treatment. In order to really fight these health problems and restore robust health, patients need a different kind of prescription—one that recommends an entirely new way of eating.
I call these recommendations my Doctor’s Diet Food Prescriptions.
These Food Prescriptions lay the foundation for all phases of The Doctor’s Diet. You can start following them today and let them be your dietary North Star for the rest of your life, both in the active STAT and RESTORE Plans of The Doctor’s Diet, and then during the MAINTAIN Plan that will see you through years of your best possible health.
This is just what the ancient doctor, Hippocrates, ordered: an exploration of the specific ways in which food can be your best medicine when it comes to rescuing yourself from diet-related disease. In this part of the book, we’ll look at the various components of a healthy diet, and I’ll explain the science behind how they help prevent disease and prolong life. I’ll also give specific advice about how to make smart choices about these foods and how best to include them in your diet.
PART THREE: RESTORE ROBUST HEALTH WITH THE DOCTOR’S DIET 14-DAY RESTORE PLAN
After you “stop the bleeding” on your unhealthy diet and kick-start dramatic weight loss with the STAT Plan, you’ll shift for 14 days to the less-intense RESTORE Plan. On the RESTORE Plan, you will continue to lose weight while enjoying a wider range of foods. If you meet your goal weight during the RESTORE Plan, you’ll move on to the MAINTAIN Plan. If not, you’ll alternate between STAT and RESTORE until you achieve your goal.
