Dairy: Should be organic, pastured, either raw or VAT-pasteurized, and non-homogenized.

Cheese: Avoid any fillers or additives.

Cooking Fats: Use butter, coconut oil, or ghee for cooking. Olive oil should be used only as a dressing and not heated.

Non-Ruminant Animals: Higher PUFA levels found in chicken, turkey, and especially pork. Limit intake.

Eggs: Suitable for daily breakfast, 1-2 eggs per day.

Ruminant Animals: Such as beef and bison, can be consumed no more than 1 pound per week.

Monogastric Animals: Chicken and turkey should be limited to 3-8 ounces per month.

Broth: Can be consumed daily, 1-3 cups.

Organs: Should be limited to 3-6 ounces per week.

Quality of Meat: All meat should be pastured, organic, not fed soy or corn, glyphosate-free, heavy metal-free, and regenerative.

Gelatinous Cuts: Include lamb shanks, beef shin, oxtail, and pork and beef cheek. These are preferred for their nutritional content.

Cooking Meat: Less cooked meat is recommended to reduce the formation of harmful compounds and preserve nutrients, making it easier to digest and avoid inflammation.

SEAFOOD PROTEIN
Shellfish Low-fat Fish
Lobster

* Tilapia
* Flounder
* Mahi-Mahi
* Haddock
* Pollock
* Grouper
* Lingcod
* Rockfish
* Pike
* Perch
Catfish
Halibut
Bass

Fish Preference: Low-fat fish are preferred over fatty fish (such as salmon, mackerel, herring, and tuna) due to lower PUFA content.

Shellfish: Must be cooked well and consumed no more than 12 ounces per week.

Low-fat Fish: Limit intake to no more than 1 pound per week.

Source: Prefer sourcing from cleaner waters such as the North Atlantic, Norway, Arctic, and New Zealand.

VEGETABLE PROTEIN
Legumes Nuts/Seeds
Tempeh
Miso
Natto
Gluten-free soy sauce
Green beans
Peas
* Macadamia
* Cashews
* Hazelnuts
Hemp (less often)
Almonds (less often)
Pistachios (less often)

Preparation: Fresh legumes and nuts/seeds should be soaked overnight, sprouted, and then either roasted or cooked.

Digestibility: Consume saturated fat with legumes or nuts to improve digestibility.

Recommendation: It is best to avoid all legumes, as there are much better protein sources available.

Vegetable Proteins: Contain anti-nutrients that block trypsin and other enzymes necessary for protein digestion. They are high in PUFA, oxalates, phytates/phytic acid, and lectin.

Fats: Always add to vegetables, starches, and grains to increase digestibility.

Vegetables: Must be organic and well-cooked. Above-ground vegetables contain cellulose, which cannot be broken down by the body.

Cruciferous Vegetables: Include broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, bok choy, and cabbage, and are goitrogenic.

Leafy Greens: Such as kale, spinach, chard, and lettuce, contain anti-nutrients like lectins, lignans, pectins, oxalates, and PUFA.

Mushrooms: Can be soaked in olive oil for preparation.

Marine Algae: A good source of iodine but can accumulate heavy metals and other contaminants. Prefer sourcing from cleaner waters such as the North Atlantic, Norway, Arctic, and New Zealand.

Carrots: Noted for their anti-fungal, anti-estrogenic, and anti-bacterial properties.

Glucose: Identified as the preferred source of energy for cells.

Combining Foods: Vegetables and fruits should always be consumed with protein and fat to slow the blood sugar response.
