Limbo food guidance
Limbo’s not going to tell you exactly what to eat. Figuring that out is part of your learning process.
But you shouldn’t be hungry while going through your Limbo program.
Here’s a simple three-point guideline to help you decide what to eat or drink:
Choose real food that's high in protein and low in carbs.
Real food
Eat whole food that contains essential nutrients. Look at the number of ingredients in the foods you eat. Are they all natural or even necessary? The more natural the food, the better your body is likely to respond to it.
Reduce the processing in your food. The more processed your food, the less work your body has to do for the energy it contains. If you puree your food, for example, your body can get to the energy quicker because you've effectively pre-digested some of it in advance.
Avoid ultra-processed foods.
High protein
Prioritize protein and build your meals around it.
Protein provides building blocks and can be used as fuel.
Your body can use protein in the process of creating glucose.
The body has to work harder to break protein down and it keeps you fuller for longer.
As you reduce carbohydrates, increase protein to fuel yourself.
Low glucose
Your energy line measures glucose molecules. Too many of these molecules entering your blood too quickly cause spikes.
Glucose isn’t just in sugar. All carbohydrates such as starch are made of glucose molecules bonded together, like they’re holding hands. Digestion breaks those bonds quickly.
All digestible carbohydrates break down to glucose molecules. They provide energy (glucose) that your body can absorb easily. We call them a direct energy source.
After you keep your energy line flat for an extended period, your system will start to process carbohydrates more effectively.
