Good choices of Proteins & Fats & Carbohydrates

Primarily Proteins and Fats:
Fish (except for farm-raised fish, any commercially available fish is fine, but fatty deep sea fish such as salmon, herring, and mackerel are the best, and because of mercury contamination do not have large fish such as tuna or shark more than once a week).

Shellfish (such as crab, shrimp, scallops, oysters, clams, and lobster).

Lean, grass-fed buffalo meat with all visible fat trimmed.

Lean, grass-fed beef with all visible fat trimmed (such as flank steak, chuck steak, or top sirloin steak).

Lean pork with all visible fat trimmed (such as pork loin or chops).

White meat from poultry with skin removed (such as chicken breasts, turkey breasts, or game hen breasts).

Enriched omega-3 eggs from uncaged chickens

Egg whites.


Game meat (such as elk, pheasant, quail, reindeer, caribou, emu, or wild turkey).

Organ meats (such as livers, tongues, marrow, and "sweetbreads").

Primarily Carbohydrates

Fresh vegetables (except for starchy root vegetables such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, or yams), any kind of vegetable is fine including asparagus.

Beets and beet greens, bell peppers, broccoli, cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, celery, eggplant, green onions, kale, lettuce, mushrooms, mustard greens, onions, parsley, peppers, pumpkin, radish, spinach, turnips and turnip greens, and watercress).
