Our Daily Guidelines & Food Pyramid

Incase you want to know just what we're trying to eat each day, we are trying to follow the food pyramid found in Dr. Fuhrman's books.  There is SO much information in these books that you won't get just from reading what we're attempting to eat.  They tell you WHY these foods are either extremely beneficial or harmful to your body.

The percentages are for daily calories:
RARELY: beef, sweets, cheese, & processed foods
RARELY: eggs, oil, fish, & fat-free dairy
20% or less: whole grains & potatoes
10-40%: seeds, nuts, & avacados
10-40%: fruits
10-40%: beans/legumes
30-60%: Vegetables (excluding white potatoes)

Now, I'm also pairing this with the studies in Wheat Belly which means even less wheat or none--yep even the whole grains.  We'll probably have chicken 3 times a week and sometimes eggs.  The important thing to remember when buying these products is to buy GRASS FED, not grain fed.
