    About this ebook

    Why the current Food Pyramid Is Wrong And What You Can Do About It!

    Do you feel that becoming the best you can be is more than difficult?

    That you are held back from achieving your best by frustrating issues like body fat, sore joints, irritated bowels and brain fog?

    Interestingly, a consistent pattern in food pyramids around the world puts cereals, grains, bread, pasta and other starchy carbohydrates at the base of the food pyramid diet. And good fats from healthy sources are at the top as a "use sparingly" category.

    This is exactly opposite of what a well-balanced diet should be. This model has been proven to lead to a myriad of health
    problems such as:

    - Excessive weight gain
    - Risk of heart disease due to high cholesterol levels
    - Higher blood sugars leading to diabetes and other related diseases
    - Brain fog and much, much more...

    Ben Greenfield, has listened to requests from his coaching clients, readers and listeners to design a "Ben Greenfield Endorsed" food pyramid. His new design is called the Superhuman Food Pyramid. His new food pyramid addresses all the above issues in depth according to his personal nutritional philosophies that he has expressed many times in consultations, blog posts, podcasts and talks around the world.
    In the fourth book of this seven part series, "Part 4: Proteins" you will learn:

    - A full spectrum of choices from "Eat" to "Moderate" and to "Avoid" in each food group.
    - What anti-cancer and heart-healthy fatty acids are high in grass fed meats.
    - About the amino acids that can only be derived from dietary sources such as Wild Salmon, Flounder, Trout and Tilapia.
    - The pros and cons of raw cheese from grass fed cows.
    - The reason that soy and tofu are risky choices for your diet.
    - Which protein powders are the best and which ones to avoid.

    As a bonus to make it easier to practically apply Ben's Superhuman Food Pyramid to your diet, several pages have been added at the end of the book listing each food category and the Eat, Moderate, and avoid foods within that category.

    You can simply print, grab and go to the grocery store or farmer’s market with your Superhuman Food list.
    Now is the perfect time to pick up your copy of Part 4: Proteins, of Secrets of The Superhuman Food Pyramid and start your journey to becoming the best you can be!

    P.S. If you haven't read Secrets Of The Superhuman Food Pyramid Part 1 of 7: Herbs, Spices and Sweeteners (Now FREE to get you started), Part 2: Fruits and Part 3: Grains & Legumes, grab them now and add them to your health and wellness library.

    Why The Food Pyramid Is Wrong And What You Can Do About It

    Since 1974, when the first food pyramid was appeared in Sweden, triangular or pyramid-shaped nutrition guides have been used by 25 other countries and organizations. I found a great graphic over at Huffington Post that depicts some of the more popular food pyramids from around the world, and although America now uses the My Plate design many countries around the world still use a food pyramid to dole out nutrition advice.

    In 2011, the USDA Food Pyramid (pictured) was with replaced with My Plate, which is very similar in terms of nutrient percentages.

    Interestingly, a consistent pattern in food pyramids around the globe, from China’s Food Pagoda to Greece’s Food Pyramid, is the appearance of cereals, grains, bread, pasta and other starchy carbohydrates as the base of the diet and fats near the top of the pyramid, as a use sparingly category.

    But this type of pyramid can lead to health problems. After all, dietary fat from healthy sources has been shown in studies to actually help to increase weight loss, reduce heart disease risk, lower blood sugars, lower cholesterols and maintain proper brain function (especially in kids).

    And if you listened to my interview with Dr. William Davis on The Shocking Truth About Wheat, or my interview with Paul Jaminet about the Perfect Health Diet you learned that consumption of carbohydrates can cause serious issues with everything from weight gain to fuzzy thinking to heart disease.

    But the issues don’t stop with the predominantly high carb, low fat recommendations of most food pyramids. Frequent consumption of featured and recommended foods such as commercialized modern whole milk and hamburger has been linked to heart disease…

    …dairy is extremely overemphasized – although calcium is important, many vegetable and meat sources contain plenty of calcium with a lower number of calories….

    …there is no differentiation between good proteins and bad proteins, good carbs and bad carbs or good fats and bad fats…

    …and the minimum serving of fruits is 2-4, which is a great way to send your blood sugar levels on a roller coaster ride all day long if you’re not careful.

    Furthermore, when it comes to the American food pyramid, we’ve barely scratched the surface of how food and agricultural institutions can exert lobbying and political power on the USDA to feature and prioritize subsidized industries such as dairy, corn and wheat as heavily featured or highlighted recommendations (a great book to read more about these shenanigans is Food Politics).

    So what should a good food pyramid actually look like?

    Although I have yet to be convinced that a food pyramid is the best, most functional way to dynamically depict dietary recommendations, I’ve decided to act on hundreds of requests from readers and listeners and create a Ben Greenfield Endorsed food pyramid.

    I call my new design the Superhuman Food Pyramid, and this new food pyramid address all the issues above, ties in my personal nutritional philosophies that I’ve expressed many times in blog posts and podcasts, and also gives you a spectrum of choices from Eat to Moderate to Avoid
