Microblog: Meat-Based Diet — The Food Pyramid

Nutrition should evolve with new information.

📖And with some obvious changes, I’ve also updated my carnivore beginner’s guide. It now includes ideal macros, ways to know you’re on the right track and more. https://nutritionwithjudy.com/shopping/guides/nutritionists-guide-to-the-carnivore-diet/

🐂Your primary source of food should come from both ruminant and non-ruminant meats.

🥓Ideally unprocessed meats are a better choice since any meat that is processed usually entails being cooked in highly inflammatory vegetable oils and they often contain added sugars and additives.

⚠️Food companies are allowed to list products with sugar serving sizes of <1g as 0. But if the container has 30 servings, you are definitely consuming several grams of sugar. The best way to see if there is added sugar is to check the ingredient list. (e.g., sugar, maltodextrin)

❓How does shredded cheese add potato starch but have zero carbs? Hmm.

💡Remember, there is no essential carbohydrate that your body needs. Any glucose needs of the body will be created by your body. There is no need for fructose (fruit) in the body.

Zero.

❗️And if you’re struggling with gout or excess purines, you don’t want to do meat + fruit.
