What is the DIP Diet?

The DIP Diet (Disciplined & Intelligent People Diet) is a revolutionary plant-based dietary system developed by Dr Biswaroop Roy Chowdhury . It is based on extensive scientific research, including findings from ' The Great China Study on Nutrition'. The primary goal is to naturally reverse serious modern lifestyle diseases such as Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, Heart Disease, Obesity, and more.

This diet emphasizes consuming natural, minimally processed food and living closer to nature.

Standard DIP Diet Plan

Following the DIP Diet is straightforward and involves structuring your meals in specific steps:

Step 1: Breakfast (Until 12 PM)

DIP Diet Breakfast - Fruits in the morning — DIP Diet: Fruits Only Till 12 PM

Consume only fruits until 12 PM.
Quantity: 10 times your body weight in grams (e.g., if body weight is 60 kg, eat 600g of fruits).
Choose 3-4 varieties of seasonal and regional fruits.
Avoid anything else (tea, coffee, snacks) during this period.

Step 2: Lunch & Dinner (Plate 1 & Plate 2)

DIP Diet Lunch and Dinner – Raw and Cooked Food Plate — Lunch and Dinner in DIP Diet: Raw + Cooked Food

Before eating your main meal for lunch and dinner, divide your food into two plates:

Plate 1 (Eat First):

This plate should consist of raw vegetable salad.
Include green leaves, sprouts, soaked dry fruits, tomatoes, cucumber, carrots, etc.
Quantity: 5 times your body weight in grams (e.g., if body weight is 60 kg, eat 300g of salad).
Finish Plate 1 completely before moving to Plate 2.

Plate 2 (After finishing Plate 1):

This plate contains your regular cooked vegetarian food.
Should be prepared with minimal oil and minimal salt.
Can include daal, vegetables, roti/rice, etc., typical Indian vegetarian meals, provided they are cooked simply.

Note: You can eat as much as you want from Plate 2 until you feel full, but always eat Plate 1 first.

Healthy Snacking Options (If Needed Between Meals)

While the DIP Diet is designed to keep you full, if you feel hungry between meals, here are some healthy, DIP-compliant snacking options:

Extra Fruits: Any seasonal fruit can be a great snack.
Raw Vegetables: Carrot sticks, cucumber slices, bell pepper strips.
Green Leaves: A small handful of spinach or other edible green leaves.
Fresh Juices: Freshly squeezed vegetable juices (like carrot, beetroot, spinach) without added sugar or salt. Fruit juices are generally part of Step 1.
Raw Coconut or Coconut Water: Excellent for hydration and electrolytes.
Roasted Seeds (unsalted): A small quantity of sunflower, pumpkin, or flax seeds.
Soaked Dry Fruits: A few soaked almonds, walnuts, or raisins (in moderation).
Clear Vegetable Soup (unsalted, no oil): Warm and light.
Hunza Tea: A healthy herbal beverage.
Millets (cooked, plain): Small portions of cooked millets like foxtail, kodo, or little millet can be considered if extremely hungry, but prioritize raw options.

Important: Snacking should be minimal and only if genuinely hungry. The main meals are designed to provide adequate nutrition and satiety.

Things to Strictly Avoid:

Foods to avoid in DIP Diet – dairy, processed food, supplements — Strictly Avoid in DIP Diet

Packed and Processed Food
Dairy and Milk Products (including curd, paneer, ghee, butter, ice cream)
Tea and Coffee
Multivitamins and Tonics)
Any artificial supplements.

The principle is simple: consume only nature-based, unprocessed food.

Important Note: This is a standard plan. It can be modified based on specific diseases or individual health conditions under expert guidance.

Additional Therapies for Enhanced Healing

Along with the DIP Diet, certain natural therapies can significantly enhance the healing process and overall well-being. These are often recommended as part of Dr. Biswaroop Roy Chowdhury's protocols:

Sunlight Exposure:
Aim for at least 45 minutes of daily sunlight exposure (preferably morning or late afternoon sun) on as much bare skin as possible. Sunlight is crucial for Vitamin D synthesis, which plays a vital role in immunity, bone health, and mood regulation.
Grounding or Zero Volt Therapy (ZVT):
Spend at least 2 hours daily in direct contact with the earth (walking barefoot on grass, soil, or sand). This practice is believed to reduce inflammation, improve sleep, and normalize cortisol rhythms by connecting your body to the earth's natural electrical charge.
Hot Water Immersion (HWI):
Immerse your body (up to the neck) in hot water (around 40°C or as comfortable) for about 30 minutes. This can help improve blood circulation, relax muscles, reduce blood pressure, and aid in detoxification. Often recommended for kidney patients and those with hypertension, under guidance.
Head Down Tilt (HDT):
This involves lying on a tilted surface with your head lower than your feet (e.g., tilting your bed by 10-15 degrees) for about 2 hours daily, often during sleep. This therapy is suggested to improve circulation to the brain and vital organs, and may be beneficial for various conditions. Always start gradually and under expert advice.
Deep Breathing (Pranayama) or Simple Yoga Exercises:
Practicing deep breathing exercises (like Anulom Vilom, Bhramari) or simple yoga asanas can reduce stress, improve lung capacity, enhance oxygenation of tissues, and promote mental clarity and calmness.

Disclaimer: These therapies should be adopted under the guidance of a qualified health expert, especially if you have any pre-existing medical conditions. They are complementary to the DIP Diet and not a replacement for medical advice where needed.
