Dr. Michael Lange created the Lange Survival Diet / Fortifeye Survival Diet to help decrease chronic disease through proper foods.
modified on 1/13/2025
Much of the chronic illness in our country is related to the food we consume. More and more research is proving that many of the foods we have thought were
healthy foods may actually be adding to the poor health and chronic disease in our country. We all know that we need to cut back on overly processed fast and convenient foods that contain artificial sweeteners, artificial flavors, too much sugar, dyes and trans fats. But is this enough? No!!
Many foods we have grown up eating and have actually been told by our doctors to eat more of may actually be causing many of our chronic health problems. These Standard American Diet (SAD) foods are contributing to chronic inflammation and oxidation to our body along with disrupting the microbiome in our gut.
We have to be proactive today if we want to help with current food associated health problems and future potential health problems associated with our diets. Your chances of better health through proper nutrition will be increased dramatically if you follow some simple steps Dr. Michael Lange has carefully researched and developed and calls “The Lange Survival Diet” or “The Fortifeye Survival Diet” Or “Survival Diet”.
This is a diet that is extremely low or free of all the things that are harming you like: gluten, fodmaps, lectins, oxalates, glyphosate, phytic acid, arsenic, lead, pesticides, insecticides, aflatoxins, phytoestrogens, saponins, protease inhibitors and alkaloids. Dr. Michael Lange created this diet plan to help everyone improve their overall health and visual health. God made a pretty good body if only the right fuel is given! Dr. Lange always recommends discussing any new diets with your primary care physician before starting. If you want to feed your body the fuels it needs, then consider following the “Lange Survival Diet“.
Here is the list of Dr. Lange’s safe foods.
Vegetables: mustard greens, organic kale, organic lettuce, organic cucumbers, Bok Choy, broccoli, turnip root, cabbage, yellow and orange bell peppers, bamboo shoots, water chestnuts, pickled vegetables, fermented cabbage (kimchi, sauerkraut), organic boiled spinach, 1/2 avocado, 3-4 brussels sprouts, garlic, mushrooms, onion, garlic, asparagus, artichoke. (If you have IBS, stay away from garlic, onions, mushrooms, asparagus and artichoke) If you have high blood pressure, or any heart conditions like atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter or other heart rhythm issues stay away form pickled or fermented food that are high in sodium.
Fruit: Pineapple, banana, lemon, lime, organic blueberries, pomegranate, tart cherries, organic strawberries, cranberries, organic grapes, cantaloupe, orange.
Protein: Organic free-range eggs, organic grass-fed beef or bison, organic turkey, organic chicken, ostrich, wild game, wild salmon, sardines, anchovies, rainbow trout, albacore tuna, Goat (milk, cheese, butter, yogurt or kefir), Sheep (milk, cheese, butter, yogurt or kefir), A2 cow’s milk (cheese, yogurt or butter), grass fed whey isolate or concentrate. non gmo vegetable protein powders like sprouted barley, Flax seed, chia seed and sprouted pea isolate
Nuts, Seeds, Oils, Spices, Flour and Beverages: Macadamia nuts, chestnuts, coconuts, cashew nuts (cashews are healthier if soaked overnight or sprouted to reduce the lectins and phytic acid), pistachios, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, flax seeds, chia seeds, hemp seed, sunflower seeds ( sprouted seeds are healthier than non-sprouted), coconut oil, algae oil, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, malt vinegar, wine vinegar, spring water, coffee, herbal tea, cashew milk, goat or sheep milk, A2 cow’s milk, pink sea salt, Celtic sea salt, white pepper. Organic Amaranth Flour, organic Quinoa flour, organic Buckwheat flour and organic Coconut flour is ok 3 times a week.
Pseudo-grains: Organic De Hulled or sprouted Quinoa, Organic Buckwheat and Organic Amaranth. These pseudo cereals are allowed 3 times a week only if they are washed, soaked and preferably sprouted. Boiling and fermenting of these pseudo grains further reduces the anti-nutrients. These 3 grains are gluten free but do contain 4 anti nutrients: Lectins, saponins, protease inhibitors and phytates. if you take the time to prepare them you will gain the health benefits with none of the negative side effects. Sourdough bread or organic sprouted bread is okay in moderation, especially if most of the ingredients come from the Lange Survival Diet/ Fortifeye Survival Diet.
