10 Guidelines to Being a Lion
10 Guidelines to Being a Lion
You just found out you were a Lion, either by coming into Caring Medical and having Diet Typing done, or by taking our online quiz. In both cases you may not have fully understood what it means to be a Lion! Here’s a list of the top 10 guidelines Lions should follow!
Eat protein with every meal! Because protein is the center of your diet, every meal should be centered around it. If you have a couple snacks that are more fat based, that’s okay. But your big meals should consist of mainly protein sources.
Choose plenty of healthy fats. Don’t shy away from it, as a Lion you need a good amount of fat. Things like nuts, nut butters, and hummus, can be part of a great fat based snack for Lions.
Don’t buy low carb food items, such as bread. When we tell you to limit your carb intake, we don’t mean go out and purchase carbohydrate based foods that have been altered to be considered low carb. The limited amount of carbs you do have should be nutrient dense and natural.
You should eat often.
Lions tend to be people who need frequent meals in order to keep energy levels stable. Don’t wait until your starving to eat something, it’s too late then. That’s when you’re most likely to make bad nutritional decisions.
It’s okay to have protein shakes, but don’t rely on them for the majority of your protein intake.
Real food is always preferable because of the extra nutrients you get from it. Shakes are really good for those times when you’re in a hurry and for those people just starting out on a high protein diet and need some time to adjust. Having one a day is okay, but don’t plan all your meals around them.
Stay away from low fat products.
The Lion Diet says you need fat. Not to mention a lot of those items may have added sugars in them instead of fat, not good for a Lion. So when it comes to peanut butter and salad dressings…go full fat!
Eating foods that are packaged and processed should be avoided. Not only does your Hauser Diet say eat protein and fat, it also says to eat natural. Your health will benefit greatly by eliminating processed foods that are full of food chemicals and things that are toxic to the body.
Meatless veggie burgers that are made with vegetables and grains are not great protein sources. These are mostly carbohydrate based, with just a little bit of needed protein. If you do purchase these items, make sure they are as natural as you can get, and be sure to get other protein sources in your daily diet.
Stay away from sugar and sugar products. Sugar and simple carbohydrates are not good for Lions. They deplete your energy, hurt your immune system, and promote quick weight gain!
Fruit should not be part of your diet! Sounds crazy right? You’re a Lion, and because we eliminate sugar on your diet, we also eliminate fruit. The majority of calories in fruit come from sugar. As for the good nutrients found in fruits like antioxidants, you will be able to those from other foods in your diet.
Take these ten tips of the trade and put them into practice. They will help you get the most out of your Hauser Lion Diet.
