    About this ebook

    Why The Current Food Pyramid Is Incorrect And Exactly what You Can Do About It!

    Do you feel that ending up being the best you can be is more than challenging?

    That you are kept from achieving your finest by nagging issues like body fat, painful joints, irritated bowels and brain fog?

    Remarkably, a regular pattern in food pyramids around the globe places cereals, grains, bread, noodles and other starched carbs at the base of the food pyramid diet plan. And good fats from healthy and balanced sources go to the top as a "use sparingly" classification.

    This is definitely opposite of what a well-balanced diet plan must be. This version has been shown to lead to a myriad of health and wellness problems such as:

    Excessive weight gain.
    Threat of heart disease due to higher degrees of cholesterol .
    Greater blood sugars levels causing diabetic issues and other related diseases.
    Brain fog and considerably, more ...

    Ben Greenfield, has actually listened to suggestions from his coaching clients, readers, listeners and audiences to design a "Ben Greenfield Endorsed" food guide pyramid. His brand-new design is called the Superhuman Food Pyramid. Ben's food pyramid addresses all the above issues in depth according to his individual dietary viewpoints that he has revealed many times in consultations, blog posts, podcasts and talks all over the world.

    In the second of this series, "Part 2: Fruit", you will learn:

    A complete range of options from "Eat" to "Moderate" to "Avoid" for every fruit.
    The minimal servings of fruits that will keep your blood glucose stabilized.
    Which fruits are the very best options to supplement your diet regimen.
    Which ones you may use with moderation and ...
    The ones to definitely stay clear of and why they are poisonous to your health.

    As a bonus for buying this book, to make it much easier to virtually apply Ben's Superhuman Food pyramid guidelines to your diet regimen, he has included a complete list of each food category with the Eat, Moderate, and Avoid foods in each category.
    You can simply print, grab and go to the grocery store or farmer's market with your Superhuman Food list.

      Secrets of the Superhuman Food Pyramid (Book 2 - Ben Greenfield

      About Superhuman Coach

      Becoming the best you can be is difficult when you’re held back by frustrating issues such as brain fog, body fat, an irritated gut or sore joints – so most people live their lives at just a fraction of their peak capacity, completely powerless to tap into their full potential or to achieve their goals as quickly as possible – whether that goal is to get a six-pack, run a marathon or perform at peak physical or mental capacity.

      At the Superhuman Coach Network, you will instead learn how to unlock seven key modules for maximizing performance of your body and brain, and receive a system for using research-proven foods, supplements and strategies to make you unstoppable.

      All the methods, systems, and strategies that can be used to enhance your body have been created into a curriculum by American fitness coach, author and speaker Ben Greenfield. In 2012, Ben launched the Superhuman Coach Network as a way to teach and certify coaches, and then connect qualified coaches with individuals who want to enhance their bodies and minds as safely, quickly and effectively as possible.

      -Introduction-

      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 for each food group, so that you don’t have to deal, for example, with Fats lumped into just one category, or Proteins just lumped into another category.

      Click the pyramid to download a full high resolution pdf version of the food pyramid that you can zoom in and review each of the foods on each level of the food pyramid.

      To make it easier to practically apply my Superhuman Food Pyramid to your diet, I’ve also included several pages at the end of the book listing each food category and the Eat, Moderate, and Avoid foods within that category, so you can simply print, grab and go to the grocery store or farmer’s market with your Superhuman Food list.

      I have something special for you!
