MILF Diet

The MILF Diet is written by Jessica Porter, a macrobiotic chef and cooking instructor and author of The Hip Chick’s Guide To Macrobiotics.

MILF is a popular slang term for an attractive older woman. But, Porter encourages women to associate it with all of the positive qualities of womanhood.

The MILF diet is essentially a macrobiotic regime emphasizing freshly prepared, unprocessed, plant-based foods.

MILF Diet Basics

Porter encourages a diet centered on whole grains, organic seasonal vegetables, sea vegetables, natural sweeteners and mostly plant-based proteins. These foods help the female body come into balance so you feel energized yet relaxed and sexy at the same time.

Says Porter,

“A true MILF is confident, sexy and radiates natural feminity. By eating whole, plant-based foods, you, too, can find balance and dynamic health, and unleash your inner MILF. “

It is best to avoid refined sugars, processed foods, dairy products and meat. These foods have extreme qualities on the body that test the limits of our natural balance.

The Phases of MILFification

Your MILFication, Phase One:

The first phase of the MILF Diet is simply and requires only one change: the consumption of whole grains. You will begin with brown rice and you must learn to chew it very well – from 50 to 100 times per mouthful. This enhances digestion and activates the parasympathetic nervous system, helping you to relax.

Porter also explains about the yin and yang qualities of food and what you need to eat to stay in balance. The MILF diet is about eating foods that are uniquely suited for the human body that contain good quality yin and yang energy.

Grains in particular are emphasized because they help you feel grounded and centered.

Your MILFication, Phase Two: Grains and Greens

In the second phase you will begin to eat some kind of whole food every day – or even twice a day.

Additionally you will add leafy greens such as kale, collard greens, napa cabbage and bok choy. Leafy green vegetables provide a light, upward and relaxing energy while you continue to feel grounded and centered from grains.

In phase two you can continue to eat all of the foods you normally eat. However, whole grains and leafy greens should be the center of at least one or two meals every day.

After doing this for a while you will naturally progress away from consuming extreme foods so often. You can stay in this phase as long as you like and still see amazing results.

Your MILFication, Phase 3: Power

This is when you step fully into the MILF Diet to incorporate a more structured approach to your eating plan. Porter says,

“This phase is powerful because …by cooking balanced foods you can bring good quality yin force to your family.”

At its most basic a MILFy balanced meal consists of:

• 30 percent whole grain
• 50 percent a variety of vegetables
• 20 percent beans or bean product

In addition you can have small servings of sea vegetables, about a tablespoon of pickle each day and a naturally sweetened dessert three or four times a week.

Exercise Consistently

Porter says that the body loves consistency when it comes to exercise but you don’t need to run a marathon.

Yoga once or twice a week and three, 20-minute cardio workouts a week should be adequate for burning excess fat.
