Healthy Protein Building blocks of your body 

Used to make muscles, ligaments and cartilage, hormones, neurotransmitters, enzymes, antibodies, carry oxygen in blood



Sources: animal protein (meat, pork, fish, poultry, eggs) vegetable protein (beans, grains, yeast, pea)



It matters where it comes from. Healthy meat is raised on its natural healthy diet. That means grass fed cows, wild game, wild caught fish, and meat and eggs from pasture raised chickens.

Healthy Fat Building blocks of all cell membranes (the brain of the cell), nerve and brain tissue, immune cells, and of many hormones Fats are the source of all fat soluble vitamins like vitamin A, D, E, and K. We cannot properly absorb and utilize minerals, such as calcium and magnesium, without fats present.

Healthy Fat

Healthy Fat Source:  From healthy animals in pork, beef, poultry, game, fish, seafood, and butter  Organic olive oil and coconut oil are the best plant choices. Like protein, where you get your fat matters. Due to modern farming and ranching practices organic grass-fed sources are a must when it comes to choosing healthy animal fat sources. When buying olive oil and coconut oil, buy organic cold pressed or expeller pressed oils. The best butter is organic pasture raised.

Healthy Carbohydrates Primary purpose is to make energy 

Complex carbohydrates



Simple carbohydrates



Fiber

Healthy Carbohydrates Eat LOTS of Veggies and some fruit 

5-6 cups of veggies a day



PLUS 1 serving of fruit a day eaten between meals

This is NOT Low Carb 

5 cups of veggies is about 800-1000 calories, or roughly 50% of your daily intake

EAT Whole Foods 

USDA defines as “unprocessed or unrefined, or unprocessed and unrefined as possible”.



Anything a cave man would recognize as food.



Anything your great (great?) grandmother would recognize as food



REAL food (vs. food like substances)



Food that Grows!



Tanda’s definition, “A food that can be picked from a tree, plucked from the ground, or shot.”
