Below is a pyramid that you can use as a guideline for which foods are most important in following the Lion Diet. As you can see, your meals should consist of mostly protein and fat along with some vegetables! Your body does not metabolize carbohydrates well, hence, you should rarely eat starchy foods like potatoes or whole grain bread, and should only choose the options with the most fiber, such as a high fiber tortilla wrap instead of low fiber brown rice. A good measure of “high fiber” is at least 4 grams of fiber per serving. Full fat dairy can be consumed occasionally through the day. Lastly, you will notice there is no fruit or simple carbohydrates on the Lion Diet. Your Diet Type does not require these foods in order to achieve optimal health.
