Some sample Gracie Diet Recipes by Angela Gracie:

Watermelon Smoothie by Angela Gracie
 

• ½ Watermelon   
• 4 Bananas
• ¼ Cream Cheese (75g)

You have two options in how to make the watermelon juice and probably the simplest way would be using a juicer.

I personally like the traditional way that my family used to do it and some still do, which is by using the blender and pass the blended watermelon through a cotton bag.

After you juice the watermelon put the juice in the blender and blend in the bananas and cream cheese, and then your smoothie will be ready to drink.

I normally eat crackers and cheese with the smoothie, they make the perfect combination.

Observations:

The diet is composed of several food tables divided in the following groups:

The Gracie Diet - Group A

The Gracie Diet - Group B

The Gracie Diet - Group C

The Gracie Diet - Group D

General guide lines of the diet:

• Foods from group A combine with each other and with one of group B.
• Foods from group C combine with each other and with one of group B.
• Foods from group B do not combine with each other.
• Foods from group D can only be consumed individually.
• Banana and Milk are not included in any of the groups since they have chemical combinations of their own.

For Bananas, the Gracie Diet - Group A

Gracie Diet - For Milk:

Observations:

• Egg yolk (raw or cooked), coconut, coffee, brewers yeast, and many varieties of teas are compatible with any food, for they are considered neutral.
• Avoid: Sweets, canned goods, black pepper, clove, cinnamon, mustard, pickled foods, and vinegar.
• Never eat: Pork and derivatives.
