50% PROTEIN/FAT & 50% CARBS

A Bear Diet is typically recommended when Diet Typing results show that both blood pH and oxidative rate are normal (or balanced). Thus, the goal of the Bear Diet is to maintain balance, and this means you can eat a little protein, fat, and carbs at every meal.

Your body gets the maximum amount of energy from a diet balanced in protein, fat, and carbohydrates. It is very similar to what a bear would eat, and that’s how we came up with the name! The Bear Diet emphasizes variety within all the food groups. This variety is coupled with the need for moderate portions, as many Bears feel they can “eat anything.” Though you may feel good on all types of food, portion control is a must! Bears tend to overeat. You should only eat until the first sign of feeling full. Do not eat until you are almost full or stuffed.
