Romaine Lettuce (Low Lectin Vegetable)
Make a salad

Why:

Although it’s low in fiber, it’s high in minerals, such as calcium, phosphorous, magnesium, and potassium. It’s naturally low in sodium. Plus, romaine lettuce is packed with vitamin C, vitamin K, and folate. It’s a good source of beta carotene, which converts into vitamin A in the body.

• Vitamin A
  (purpose: vision, immune function, body growth, hair growth, reproductive function)
  (food sources: from fish, liver oil, butter)
• Vitamin K
  (purpose: plays a key role in blood clotting. Without it, you would run the risk of bleeding to death.)
  (Food sources: parsley, kale, spinach, Brussels sprouts, lettuce (= low lectins vegetables), egg yolks, butter, liver)
• Vitamin C helps support the immune system, is high in antioxidants and helps keep bones and teeth strong.
• Calcium is necessary for the building and maintenance of bones, muscle function, nerve function, and blood clotting.
• Vitamin K is also necessary for blood clotting. It works together with calcium to prevent bone mineral loss and fractures due to osteoporosis.
• Vitamin A (from beta carotene) is a vital nutrient, necessary for health. An antioxidant, vitamin A supports cell growth and reproductive health. It also helps to maintain the heart, kidneys, and lungs. Vitamin A also supports the eyes.
• Folate is a B vitamin, which supports cell division, the production of DNA, and genetic material. Folate deficiency in pregnant women can lead to complications with pregnancy, including premature birth, low birth weight, or the birth defect spina bifida
• Phosphorus works with calcium to build strong bones and teeth.
• Magnesium helps enzymes function and relaxes the muscles in your body. It works with calcium to build tissue.
• Potassium is an electrolyte that helps your heart beat regularly. It supports nerve function and helps your muscles contract normally. Potassium also helps your cells to move, and utilize, nutrients efficiently.

Celtic Sea Salt

Use liberally! (to prevent keto flue, see below)

Why:

When you’re on a high fat, low carb diet, you’re eliminating most processed foods that contain high levels of sodium. Your body needs sodium to thrive. Stay hydrated, keep your energy up, and beat the Keto flu by using Real Salt liberally.

Since sodium chloride (salt) has several important functions in the body, it’s necessary to consume it from foods to maintain optimal health. When fat adapted we loose fats, together with its toxins and electrolytes (=salt, magnesium and potassium).

We have to replenish our electrolytes: including salt, while becoming fat adapted, to prevent the keto flu.

• Vomiting
• Constipation
• Diarrhea
• Headache
• Irritability
• Weakness
• Muscle cramps
• Dizziness
• Poor concentration

Chicken thighs with skin (pastor raised) (=healthy high fat meat)
Duck with skin (pastor raised) (=healthy high fat meat)

Why:

To transform to fat for fuel

To get high quality saturated fats as building blocks of our cells and brain

We need fat to be able to absorb our four fat-soluble vitamins in the human diet:

• Vitamin A
  (purpose: vision, immune function, body growth, hair growth, reproductive function)
  (food sources: from fish, liver oil, butter)
• Vitamin D
  (purpose: bone maintenance, immune system regulation)
  (Food sources: Found in animal-sourced foods, such as eggs and fish oil, and produced by your skin when exposed to sunlight.)
• Vitamin E
  (Purpose: a powerful antioxidant, vitamin E protects your cells against premature ageing and damage by free radicals)
  (Food sources: avocados, peanut butter, margarine, fatty fish and fish liver oil.)
• Vitamin K
  (purpose: plays a key role in blood clotting. Without it, you would run the risk of bleeding to death.)

Celtic Sea Salt

Use liberally! (to prevent keto flue, see below)

Why:

When you’re on a high fat, low carb diet, you’re eliminating most processed foods that contain high levels of sodium. Your body needs sodium to thrive. Stay hydrated, keep your energy up, and beat the Keto flu by using Real Salt liberally.

Since sodium chloride (salt) has several important functions in the body, it’s necessary to consume it from foods to maintain optimal health. When fat adapted we loose fats, together with its toxins and electrolytes (=salt, magnesium and potassium).

We have to replenish our electrolytes: including salt, while becoming fat adapted, to prevent the keto flu.

• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Constipation
• Diarrhea
• Headache
• Irritability
• Weakness
• Muscle cramps
• Dizziness
• Poor concentration
• Stomach pain
• Muscle soreness
• Difficulty sleeping

Keep your Omega 6 vs Omega 3 balance through adding omega 3

Add Omega 3 From:
-pure Cod liver oil
-Krill (has no heavy metal poisoning like omega 3 from fish oil)
-grass fed beef
-Beef liver

Why:

The Omega 3 vs Omega 6 ratio has been abused. The prevalence of vegetable oil and processed grains in Western diets has thrown the ratio way off, contributing to chronic inflammation, cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, heart attack, and many of the other common health problems

To up your ratio, eat plenty low-mercury fatty fish like sockeye salmon, go for grass-fed butter and meat, swap omega 6 oils for those higher in omega 3s, and always check the ingredients when you buy packaged food.

Omega 3s are great for your cells. They are an integral part of cells membranes throughout the entire body and affect the cell receptors in these membranes.

Omega 3s also provide a launchpad for making hormones that regulate blood, heart, and genetic function.

Studies show that omega 3s help prevent heart disease and stroke, may help control lupus, eczema, and rheumatoid arthritis, and may protect against cancer

For most people, an omega 6 to omega 3 ratio of 4:1 is ideal– that’s 4 omega 6s for every 1 omega 3 [17]. Anti-aging experts suggest going even further, maintaining a 1:1 ratio or higher in favor of omega 3s. The average American eats a ratio of anywhere from 12:1 to 25:1 omega 6 to omega 3

 Omega 3 against depression

 Omega 3 and anti-ageing

 Omega 3 during pregnancy vs higher IQ children

 Omega 3 improves cardio vascular health

 Omega 3 can reduce symptoms of ADHD

 Omega-3 fatty acid supplements improve the cardiovascular risk profile of subjects with metabolic syndrome, including markers of inflammation and auto-immunity.

 Use of cod liver oil during the first year of life is associated with lower risk of childhood-onset type 1 diabetes: a large, population-based, case-control study.

[op_liveeditor_element data-style=””][text_block style=”undefined” align=”left”]What & Why:

1. Phenylalanine: Phenylalanine is a precursor for the neurotransmitters tyrosine, dopamine, epinephrine and norepinephrine. It plays an integral role in the structure and function of proteins and enzymes and the production of other amino acids.
2. Valine: Valine is one of three branched-chain amino acids, meaning it has a chain branching off to one side of its molecular structure. Valine helps stimulate muscle growth and regeneration and is involved in energy production.
3. Threonine: Threonine is a principal part of structural proteins such as collagen and elastin, which are important components of the skin and connective tissue. It also plays a role in fat metabolism and immune function.
4. Tryptophan: Though often associated with causing drowsiness, tryptophan has many other functions. It’s needed to maintain proper nitrogen balance and is a precursor to serotonin, a neurotransmitter that regulates your appetite, sleep and mood.
5. Methionine: Methionine plays an important role in metabolism and detoxification. It’s also necessary for tissue growth and the absorption of zinc and selenium, minerals that are vital to your health.
6. Leucine: Like valine, leucine is a branched-chain amino acid that is critical for protein synthesis and muscle repair. It also helps regulate blood sugar levels, stimulates wound healing and produces growth hormones.
7. Isoleucine: The last of the three branched-chain amino acids, isoleucine is involved in muscle metabolism and is heavily concentrated in muscle tissue. It’s also important for immune function, hemoglobin production and energy regulation.
8. Lysine: Lysine plays major roles in protein synthesis, hormone and enzyme production and the absorption of calcium. It’s also important for energy production, immune function and the production of collagen and elastin.
9. Histidine: Histidine is used to produce histamine, a neurotransmitter that is vital to immune response, digestion, sexual function and sleep-wake cycles. It’s critical for maintaining the myelin sheath, a protective barrier that surrounds your nerve cells.

As you can see, essential amino acids are at the core of many vital processes.

The US recommended daily allowances per 2.2 pounds (1 kg) of body weight for the nine essential amino acids are

• Histidine: 14 mg
• Isoleucine: 19 mg
• Leucine: 42 mg
• Lysine: 38 mg
• Methionine (+ the non-essential amino acid cysteine): 19 mg
• Phenylalanine (+ the non-essential amino acid tyrosine): 33 mg
• Threonine: 20 mg
• Tryptophan: 5 mg
• Valine: 24 mg

Foods that contain all nine essential amino acids are referred to as complete proteins.

Complete protein sources include:

• Meat
• Seafood
• Poultry
• Eggs
• Dairy Products

  Quinoa and buckwheat are plant-based foods that contain all nine essential amino acids, making them complete protein sources as well, but you need to eat a lot to reach your daily value.

[op_liveeditor_element data-style=””][text_block style=”undefined” align=”left”]What & How:

1-2 poached eggs (Farm raised or Omega-3)

Why:

To transform to fat for fuel

To get high quality saturated fats as building blocks of our cells and brain

We need fat to be able to absorb our four fat-soluble vitamins in the human diet:

• Vitamin A
  (purpose: vision, immune function, body growth, hair growth, reproductive function)
  (food sources: from fish, liver oil, butter)
• Vitamin D
  (purpose: bone maintenance, immune system regulation)
  (Food sources: Found in animal-sourced foods, such as eggs and fish oil, and produced by your skin when exposed to sunlight.)
• Vitamin E
  (Purpose: a powerful antioxidant, vitamin E protects your cells against premature ageing and damage by free radicals)
  (Food sources: avocados, peanut butter, margarine, fatty fish and fish liver oil.)
• Vitamin K
  (purpose: plays a key role in blood clotting. Without it, you would run the risk of bleeding to death.)
  (Food sources: parsley, kale, spinach, Brussels sprouts, lettuce (= low lectins vegetables), egg yolks, butter, liver)

  Yolks hold more than 90% of the calcium, iron, phosphorus, zinc, thiamine, vitamin B₆, folate, vitamin B₁₂, and pantothenic acid of the egg. In addition, yolks cover all of the fat-soluble vitamins: A, D, E, and K in the egg, as well as all of the essential fatty acids.

 Egg intake during carb restriction results in fewer inflammatory markers & cholesterol homeostasis

Mackerel are small, fatty fish

Why:

To transform to fat for fuel

To get high quality fats as building blocks of our cells and brain

Rich in Omega-3 essential Fatty Acids EPA & DHA
EPA and DHA have been credited with several health benefits, such as decreasing inflammation, lowering blood pressure, reducing the risk of cancer and improving the function of the cells that line your arteries

High quality protein:
including helping your body heal after injury, protecting bone health and maintaining muscle mass during weight loss and the ageing process

Celtic Sea Salt

Use liberally! (to prevent keto flue, see below)

Why:

When you’re on a high fat, low carb diet, you’re eliminating most processed foods that contain high levels of sodium. Your body needs sodium to thrive. Stay hydrated, keep your energy up, and beat the Keto flu by using Real Salt liberally.

Since sodium chloride (salt) has several important functions in the body, it’s necessary to consume it from foods to maintain optimal health. When fat adapted we loose fats, together with its toxins and electrolytes (=salt, magnesium and potassium).

We have to replenish our electrolytes: including salt, while becoming fat adapted, to prevent the keto flu.
