No, but it would be useful if you want to make a smoothie, pesto, or tapenade.

The first 3 weeks are quite strict as we aim to reduce inflammation and stabilize blood sugar. You can still eat at close friends' homes by bringing a dish to share or requesting specific foods (lists will be provided).

They are entirely adaptable for the whole family. Others can add more or different sources of carbohydrates.

Absolutely, 95% of the recommended ingredients are conventional. We'll seek quality, and I'll guide you in these choices.

There are 8 sessions, held on Tuesdays at 8 PM (Dubai time), lasting 1 hour each, and recorded for later viewing. 

It will require rigor, but it is entirely feasible. I've included a mini hormonal rebalancing to facilitate weight loss during this phase.

It depends on many factors, but typically 4 to 8 kilograms can be lost if following global recommendations.

I highly recommend them and will explain why during the program, but they're not mandatory beyond the standard 12-hour fasting between dinner and breakfast.

High-carb and inflammatory foods will be removed, including sugars, cereals, flours, industrial vegetable oils, conventional dairy, and saturated fats in phase 1.

Chocolate equals sugar + saturated fats, so it's not planned in the 9-week menu. I will provide tips for dark chocolate cravings.

They're mainly simple dishes like chicken salad, grilled salmon with asparagus, shrimp sautéed with zucchini noodles, fish soup, chicken soup, protein smoothie, scrambled tofu with vegetables, etc. Some special weekend recipes include scallops with bok choy, chicken curry with spinach and cauliflower rice, or poached eggs with Swiss chard and basil sauce.

Phase 1 has a lot of fish and some poultry as they are low in saturated fats (what we want to lose), and fish are richer in omega-3 (anti-inflammatory). There are very few legumes in phase 1 and a bit more in phase 2, so it's not a vegetarian diet, but we will consume lots of vegetables, nuts/seeds, and a little animal protein.

It depends on many factors, but typically 4 to 8 kilograms can be lost if following global recommendations.

Yes, phase 1 proteins are mainly fish-based, with more plant proteins reintroduced in phase 2.

No, but a naturopathic weight loss program adapted to a vegan diet is being prepared.

No, while sufficient protein is necessary, excess is converted into glucose, which we want to avoid.

No, the first 3 weeks resemble keto, but it's a low-carb diet.

Yes, the metabolic work will reduce visceral fat in the belly area, and bloating will also decrease due to reduced fermentable carbs.

Yes, no coffee for the first 3 weeks, then gradual reintroduction.

No traditional bread, but alternatives can be purchased or created if desired.
