The same thing goes for discriminating between types of grains, and ignoring the benefits of sprouting, raw, cultured, or fermented foods. Products which contain good fats should not be penalized. Other mobile apps and guides which may seem similar to ours, merely automate product rankings based on amount of calories, fat, fiber, and protein, without paying attention to the CRITICAL details about quality!Īs you know, not all fat is bad. Look to the elders in your communities for ancestral dietary wisdom. The best rule is to eat foods that our traditional ancestors ate, prepared in the way they prepared them. The guide also encourages you to avoid all processed foods and fast foods and to prepare most of what you eat, including children’s school lunches, in your own kitchen using the best possible ingredients that you can afford. Good health requires avoiding foods that are devoid of nutrients or that can do us harm, such as refined sugars, most commercial liquid vegetable oils, partially hydrogenated vegetable oils, modern soy-based imitation foods and additives like MSG, hydrolyzed protein and artificial sweeteners, and avoiding the overuse of white flour. Price Foundation’s team of food experts has scrutinized thousands of products and brands from small local farms to big ones who retail their products in grocery stores. Eggs in the “AVOID” category include most commercial eggs, but if this is all that is available, buy them anyway, but do not eat them raw. The “GOOD” eggs are organic or high-omega-3 eggs. These food ratings are NOT based on calorie count or total fat and sodium content, but instead focuses on quality and nutrient density!įor example, the “BEST” eggs are fresh from pastured poultry, preferably not fed any soy, and preferably fertile. And each product is manually reviewed and investigated by a team of experts to determine their rating or omission from the guide. No matter if you follow a Traditional diet, Paleo, Primal, Vegetarian, Vegan, or GAPS diet, this “Real Food” guide assesses food quality on proven nutrition principles including plants and animals raised in healthy ways on mineral-rich soil and grains, legumes, fruits and vegetables that are packaged in ways that preserve and enhance their naturally occurring nutrients.Įach of the 30 food and beverage categories, have their own unique set of criteria to determine if the product should be ranked as “BEST”, “GOOD”, or “AVOID”.
