Banish the Last of Your Pain in the Challenge Phase

Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed, is more important than any other one thing.

—Abraham Lincoln

In this second phase of the program, you will continue your good efforts and can expect even more significant cessation of pain and improvement in overall well-being. You’ll keep eating the protein sources you’ve been consuming for the past 15 days, along with most vegetables and fruits. However, you will now eliminate certain plant foods from your diet. The act of eating itself can hinder the healing process. One of the most important components to this program is to give your gut a rest with periodic breaks, which is why you’ll also begin intermittent fasting. Finally, you’ll raise the bar in the activity department.

In the Challenge phase, you’ll eliminate the following potentially problematic foods from your meals:

• Vegetables in the nightshade family: white potatoes, tomatoes, sweet bell peppers, chile peppers, eggplant, and goji berries

• All legumes (in addition to soy), including peanuts

• Some nuts and seeds (and moderate intake of all nuts and seeds)

• Processed sugar in any form

• Most sugar substitutes

• Tobacco is also a nightshade plant, so no smoking or chewing it

• Coffee and black tea

You’ll also continue to:

• Get at least seven hours of sleep a night.

• Spend at least half an hour outside each day, preferably in the morning.

• Drink at least eight 8-ounce glasses of water daily.

• Walk each day, but increase your number of steps to at least ten thousand.

In addition, you’ll add an exercise component (see “Raise the Activity Bar”).
