• The diet should contain optimum level of calories composing of 50%-60% carbohydrates, 30% fat and 10%-20% protein in each meal.

As part of the Dr. Andrew Weil Diet, the dieters are asked to eat at least 40 grams of fiber per day, which can easily be done with consumption of fruits, vegetables and whole grains at regular intervals. The dieters should limit dairy products like milk and cheese because there is more difficulty in digesting these food items.
