INTRODUCTION The "Gracie Diet" is a method of eating developed by Grandmaster Carlos Gracie Sr. The Gracie Diet is designed to allow athletes to maintain peak health for consistently hard training which is essential for the modern Mixed Martial Arts fighter or Submission grappler or Jiu Jitsu competitor. The Gracie Diet is not just about fruits, it's about how you combine the foods you eat. A good basic rule to start with is the basic rule about carbohydrates. Basic Rule About Carbohydrates Never combine Wheat or Rice or Potato with one another; they don't go. This means that you don't eat Bread or Pasta if you are having Rice or Potato with your meal. Corn combines OK with the other fuel foods (i.e., Corn goes with any of Bread, Pasta, Rice and Potato); however, watch out for Cornbread (as well as some of the commercial corn tortillas), because they often contain Wheat flour as well as Corn. Banana does not go with Bread, so if you're having a banana for breakfast, forget the toast. THE 4 FOOD GROUPS According to the Gracie Diet there are 4 food groups. These 4 food groups, are group A, B, C, D. Group A is meats, non acidic vegetables, and nuts. Group B is mostly starches and cearel. Group C is NON-acidic fruits, coffee, sugar and tea Group D is acidic fruits. According to the gracie diet there are strict rules on how to combine them. For example Group C cannot be combined with anything. SOURCES * The Gracie Diet - The Gracie Diet
