What Foods Should Otters Avoid?
Otters must consume diets high in protein and fat! Otters are typically fast oxidizers of food with typically acidic blood ph levels. In order to normalize your blood sugar levels, you should consume foods that are metabolized more slowly, such as fats and proteins. In order to help bring your blood pH levels into the normal range, you really need to make sure to consume fats and proteins, not carbohydrates. You can have a small amount of carbohydrates – but yours should be complex carbohydrates, consisting primarily of vegetables.
Are you thinking, “hum…I knew I liked this diet…I can eat a 12 ounce Ribeye, fried catfish, French fries, and any protein bar I can lay my hand on…”
Nope! That’s where you are wrong!
Allowing primarily protein and fats in your Hauser Diet does not make it completely acceptable to consume any kind of protein and fat. Let’s clarify this a little…
| 1. | Protein foods that contain chemicals, additives, dyes: this means avoiding those lunch meats, deli meats (unless fresh), hotdogs, bacon, sausages, and the like. |
| 2. | Trans-fats: you’ve heard it all over the news by now – fats heated to high temperatures denatures the fat, making them unsafe. Avoid products like margarine, hydrogenated oils, and fried foods. |
| 3. | Vegetables like corn and iceberg lettuce: These are nutrient poor, lacking in fiber, and poor vegetable choices. Think color! Choose nutrient dense, dark leafy greens, purple vegetables such as eggplant, and vitamin rich tomatoes, squash and the like. |
| 4. | Hormone injected chicken: Chicken is not chicken is not chicken. After working with a renown chef on the photography for the Hauser Diet book, we learned a lot about chicken. Regular grocery store chicken is injected with hormones, fillers, fluids, and chemicals. Purchase organic or Amish chicken if at all possible. |
| 5. | Fake Foods: The Hauser Diet Team hates fake foods. Avoid foods that claim to be high protein, low carb! Choose real food! If you’d like some help figuring out what to eat – give Caring Medical a call! |
