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.”
