Transition Diet: From S.A.D. to Happy
Nothing will benefit human health and increase the chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet.

Transition Diet - Intended for those transitioning from SAD to Happy. The Standard American Diet can include fast food, fried food, processed food…but it doesn’t have to! Standard American Diet also includes a diet heavy in acid foods including meat and dairy, even encompassing “healthy” diets heavy in cooked food and improperly combined food. The more this type of diet is taken the more acidic we become in our bodies, minds, and spirits. This can manifest in acidic emotions such as stress and anxiety as well imbalances in the emotional body which often results in the increased use of alcohol, tobacco, cannabis, and caffeine which on the surface soothe the anxiety and stress but truly the use of these stimulants and depressants adds to level of toxicity in the body, further perpetuating the cycle.
Many of us may consider ourselves healthy eaters, choosing organic, even vegetarian options, however as mentioned above these choices do not always guarantee you are maintaining a state of alkalinity. For example, if protein and starches are being combined in the same meal, if most meals are cooked and lack vital enzymes these choices are also creating an acidic environment within the digestive system and entire body. Therefore, anyone who considers themselves healthy eaters can use this protocol as a transition into deeper levels of healing and detoxification. It’s also a great diet to follow throughout the winter months if you are living in the northern hemisphere and 100% raw vegan or Fruitarian feels too extreme. This protocol is especially recommended for those who have the luxury of having plenty of time to gently transition through the purification process. However, if you are facing serious health challenges that need to be resolved ASAP you will want to make the transition as quickly as possible.
The purpose of this protocol is to introduce your body, mind, and emotions to an alkaline environment. Some of us are operating at such a high level of toxicity that this alone will be big shift and can even cause detox symptoms. Detox symptoms are normal during this process and can include headaches, mild dizziness, and most commonly fatigue. If your detox symptoms become unmanageable adjust the diet accordingly – the best way to slow down a detox but not stop it is to eat an avocado (fat tends to slow down detox) and if that doesn’t do the trick have some steamed vegetables or medicine soup. Another method for alleviating detox symptoms is to do an enema. The main thing to remember is that sometimes you will need to simply slow down and rest.
Sample – A Day in the Life of SAD to Happy
Wake up: Fast. Or. Choice of: Fresh fruit juice, green juice, mallow water, celery juice, fruit
Breakfast: The most important time of day to consume fruit is in the morning. Fruit is the lightest, brightest, and most quickly digested food. It also contains bio-available water that enlivens our cells and fuels the brain. Choice of: Fresh fruit, fruit smoothie, fruit salad
Snack: Fruit or Green Smoothie, Celery Sticks, Cucumber slices, or Fruit
Lunch: Spinach (Green) 'Soup' or Salad; Steamed veggies for transition when needed
Snack: Choice of: Celery sticks, dates with apples, cucumber slices, fruit
Dinner: Choice of: Spinach (Green) 'Soup', Salad; (salad meals can include steamed vegetables), choice of baked squash, sweet potato or potato, 'Medicine' Soup (medicinal herbal broth base with optional vegetables)
Snack: If you’ve eaten cooked food vegetables for dinner a fruit snack isn’t advised due to food combining guidelines. Instead choose celery sticks or a fresh vegetable snack. If you’ve managed to stay raw throughout the day fruit would be a great after dinner snack.

Transition Diet Guidelines
The Big Picture:
All fruits and vegetables, a few nuts and seeds here and there, mostly raw with some nurturing healing comfort food like baked potato, medicine soup, or steamed veggies.
Herbal Protocol:
Supportive and nutritive herbs that gently assist the detoxification process are foundational during the transition phase. These herbs don’t force the body—they nourish, cleanse, and awaken the pathways of elimination. You’re not pushing—you're inviting flow.
Some of the most beloved and effective allies include:
Nettle (Urtica dioica):
Deeply mineral-rich and gently stimulating to the kidneys and lymphatic system. Nettle strengthens the blood, nourishes the adrenals, and supports gentle cellular renewal. It’s also a wonderful tonic for the hair, skin, and nails during detox.
Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale):
A liver and gallbladder tonic that supports bile production and lymphatic drainage. Dandelion root targets deeper elimination, while the leaves encourage urinary release. It’s like an herbal broom—sweeping stagnation from multiple systems.
Red Clover (Trifolium pratense):
A gentle blood purifier and lymphatic cleanser. Known for its soothing effect on the skin and its ability to move out accumulated waste through the bloodstream. A key herb in many traditional detox blends.
Burdock Root (Arctium lappa):
Burdock is grounding, earthy, and excellent for deep detoxification of the liver and skin. It works slowly and thoroughly—ideal for longer-term protocols and helping the body eliminate heavy metals and metabolic waste.
Cleavers (Galium aparine):
A beautiful lymphatic herb that helps decongest stagnant fluid in the neck, breasts, and groin areas. Cleavers also supports urinary health and helps guide toxins out through the kidneys and bladder.
Chickweed (Stellaria media):
Cooling, moistening, and anti-inflammatory—especially helpful for soothing internal heat that may arise during detox. It also assists with dissolving fatty accumulations and supports bowel health.
Yellow Dock (Rumex crispus):
Known for its gentle laxative action and blood-cleansing properties. It supports iron absorption, making it helpful during times of rebuilding after deeper cleansing phases.
You can sip these as teas, take them as tinctures, or incorporate them into a daily transition blend (one I can help you create if you'd like a recipe-style format). You might also consider using Dr. Morse’s Heal All Tea as a base and rotating these herbs in seasonally.

Don’t let your habits stop you. If you can’t let go of certain habits, such as drinking or smoking, don’t let that stop you from making other healing shifts in your life. This protocol can be safely followed by those who are mild to moderate smokers or those whose alcohol intake is within reason. Be aware, both smoking and drinking alcohol are very acidic in nature and you will likely experience some level of detox symptoms. At some point during your healing journey these habits will need to be released, it’s up to you when.
Remove and replace – if you are drinking coffee with a ton of milk go to a decaf coffee substitute with coconut milk or homemade almond milk. If you are motivated to let go of your morning brew altogether, Great!! Go for some freshly squeezed orange juice, grape juice from the blender, or a green drink. If you’re craving something hot have herbal tea or ginger, lemon and honey in hot water. Other examples of remove and replace include having cucumber slices with creamy avocado dipping sauce in place of processed snacks, replacing meat with hearty roasted vegetables, and dairy with coconut or almond milk. If you are craving processed sugar, fruit is likely what your body wants; you will be surprised at how well a piece of fruit alleviates a sugar craving.
Keep it Simple (Avoid the Complex) – Complex carbohydrates in the form of grains, complex protein in the form of meat and beans, complex fats in the form of oils, meat, and dairy – all have one thing in common. They can’t be utilized by the body as available nutrients until they are digested and broken down into their simple form. Protein, for example, requires a highly acidic digestive process in order to be broken down into amino acids. Once it goes through this complex process only then is it available as a nutrient. All fruits and vegetables contain bioavailable amino acids, fatty acids, and glucose. Why not obtain these amino acids from fruits and vegetables? Keeping it simple alleviates the acidity and heavy load this kind of digestive process places on the body so our vitamins and nutrients are readily available and easily assimilated.
Go Vegan – there are certain guidelines that keep us on good ground in terms of healing and detox protocol. If you can make a commitment to not eat meats, dairies, or eggs for a certain length of time it makes things easier to not have a gray area with this.
All Whole – same as with the vegan guideline, if you make a commitment to avoid all processed foods it will alleviate the tough choices and shades of gray…(these potato chips are cooked with avocado oil, that’s okay, right? Or…these potato chips are baked, that’s okay, right?”) It will also alleviate any questions around meat replacements (nope) and other “healthy” vegetarian food-like-substances.
Follow 80/20 Guidelines – 80/20 Alkaline to Acid, 80/20 Raw to Cooked. If it needs to be 60/40, or even if 50/50 is a huge improvement over what you’re used to, that’s fine too.
Fry-Less – fried food is extremely acidic and eating saturated fat is essentially forcing your liver to make more cholesterol
Don’t let your habits stop you - If you can’t let go of certain habits, such as drinking or smoking, don’t let that stop you from making other healing shifts in your life.

At some point during your healing journey these habits will need to be released, it’s up to you when.
Set a Timeframe and Commit - As with all dietary and lifestyle shifts setting a timeframe can help you stay committed. If you are using the protocol as a preparation for more a more intensive protocol, a few weeks to one month should suffice. If you are following the protocol through winter, set that as your timeframe and stay committed, knowing that you will deepen your detoxification in the spring.
Follow this protocol until you’re ready to enter a deeper healing and rejuvenation cycle.
Transition into the Transition - If you need a transition into this protocol I recommend doing fruit in the morning, “veggie fruits” such as cucumber, tomato, avocado and leafy greens at lunch, and for dinner enjoying a baked potato or sweet potato topped with sprouts or chopped leafy greens. Enjoy plenty of fresh fruit, leafy greens, veggie fruits (tomato, avocado, cucumber) and fresh vegetables as snacks. Eventually once you are feeling strong and willing, replace the evening meal with another raw “veggie fruit” salad or a fruit meal.

Transition Tips from the Masters
🌙 Avicenna (Ibn Sina): The Harmonist of Body and Soul
The physician must be a philosopher as well as a healer—he must understand the whole of the being, and treat the cause in the soul as well as the condition in the flesh.
Avicenna’s transition advice comes wrapped in a deeper instruction:
Do not change the food without changing the inner alignment.
He taught that the body reflects the humors of the soul, and that true healing begins when balance is restored—between hot and cold, wet and dry, thought and breath.
His transitions are gentle. Ritualistic. Rooted in timing and temperament. He believed certain foods should be introduced or removed according to season, constitution, and spiritual readiness.
In his Canon of Medicine, he writes:
Begin with what the body will most easily accept—soft, moist, pure foods. Increase what nourishes the blood, calms the heart, and lightens the mind. Remove what obstructs slowly, like lifting a veil rather than cutting it away.
Avicenna invites you to make the transition into healing not just an act of diet—but of devotion.
To eat as though each meal were a prayer.
To listen not just to the stomach—but to the pulse of your soul.
🍇 Dr. Robert Morse: Fruit, Frequency, and Simplicity
Fruits are the cleansers, the regenerators. They hydrate, alkalize, and pull on the lymphatic system. If you want to heal, you must move into the simplicity of raw fruits and herbs. Begin with juicy fruits in the morning, add greens if needed, and let your body guide you. The more you let go, the more your body will show you its brilliance.
Dr. Morse urges us to let nature do the work. His transition advice is as practical as it is radical:
Start where you are. Begin your day with fruit—grapes, melons, oranges. Introduce greens, remove the heavy acid foods, and lean into the healing power of simplicity.
He often reminds us: The body is designed to heal itself if we just stop interfering. And fruit is how we stop interfering.
⚡ Dr. Sebi: Alkaline Reconnection to the Original Self
Transition is not a race—it is a return. Begin by removing the most harmful foods: dairy, processed sugars, and hybrid grains. Replace them with natural, electric foods from the Earth. Drink a gallon of spring water daily, and let herbs like burdock and dandelion assist your cleansing. This is not a diet—it is a reconnection to the original self.
Dr. Sebi’s path into healing begins with removal—cutting the ties to what he called dead food. From there, he leads us to replacement—into the vibrational intelligence of alkaline foods grown by nature, not engineered by man.
For Sebi, transition was about resonance. He believed that by returning to electric, indigenous food, we restore the original pattern within us.
🌿 Arnold Ehret: The Mucusless Return to Vitality
The body is burdened by mucus-forming foods—starches, meats, and dairy. To transition, begin by eliminating these obstructions. Start your day with juicy fruits, avoid complex meals, and allow the body to cleanse. Fasting is the highest form of healing, but gentle steps will lead you there. Simplicity is the key.
Ehret viewed food not only by its calories or nutrients—but by its residue. He teaches that detoxification begins by identifying and removing mucus-producing foods. Even a single fruit meal, or the practice of not combining starch and protein, can begin to lift the burden.
His transition path is the art of lightening—step by step, layer by layer, until the body breathes clean.
🌱 Dr. Gabriel Cousens: The Sacred Bridge of Raw and Light
Transitioning is a sacred act. Begin by increasing raw, living foods while reducing cooked and processed items. Support your body with green juices, sprouts, and superfoods. Observe how your energy shifts, how your mind clears. This is not just about food—it is about awakening the light within.
Cousens brings a deeply spiritual voice to the transition phase. His focus is on raising frequency through food that carries life force—chlorophyll, enzymes, cosmic intelligence.
For Cousens, transition isn’t about rules. It’s about tuning in.
The more light you eat, the more light you emit.
🌸 Farida Sharan: The Sacred Softening of the Healing Body
The healing process is one of softening, opening up and letting go. It manifests when the vital force increases and body fluids and pressures are equalized… In the healing process we let go of negative, toxic, destructive and unassimilated residues on all levels and make way for positive, cleansing and regenerative forces.
Farida invites us to treat transition as a sacred unraveling. She emphasizes that we must first open the eliminative channels, support weakened organs, and gently guide the body into flow.
Her questions pierce the emotional layers:
What am I taking in that is not good for me?
How can I increase my acceptance of what is good for me?
Her words create space to breathe, reflect, and surrender.
Transition becomes an initiation—not just into a new diet, but into a new way of listening.
