Understanding The Bear Diet Type
Bears feel better spliting their meals up as 50% Protein and/or fats, and 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.

General Guidelines to Following the Bear Diet

This is a pyramid that you can use as a guideline for which foods are most important in following the Bear Diet. As you can see, your meals should be a mix of fresh foods. For instance, a great Bear meal is a large veggie salad topped with chicken and black beans, and an oil-based dressing. You would have vegetables coming from the salad, protein from the chicken, fat from the dressing, and complex carbohydrates from the black beans. This means you are choosing a little from each of the primary food groups a Bear needs to eat: Protein, Complex Carbs, Fat, and Vgetables. Bears should be trying to combine these food groups with every meal. Yes, that means even having some veggies with breakfast, such as in an omelet or a side of tomato slices!
 

Key Points

Allergy
Case History Sara
Sara was eating all organic whole grains, vegetables, and meats, and feeling good. What she didn’t know was that she could have been feeling great! After one month on the Hauser Bear Diet, Sara received her food allergy test results and learned that she had a gluten allergy and that all of the healthy whole grains she was eating were harming her. She also had a pineapple and garlic allergy. Sara had to make some adjustments to her diet – she discovered gluten-free pastas, breads, and crackers that fit nicely into her current meal plans. She stopped cooking with garlic and started exploring other spices to use in her dishes at home. She also had to stop eating pineapple, which she didn’t mind doing.

Now Sara is feeling great, her weight is continuing to drop and she is almost to her goal weight. She also has more energy and says that she doesn’t feel as bloated as she used to feel. Initially it took time to adjust to watching out for gluten, but once Sara got the hang of things she began to enjoy her gluten-free meals without reservation.

There are many people that have food allergies that don’t even know it. If someone has a sensitivity or allergy to a particular food it could be causing symptoms like low energy, headaches, inability to heal properly, mental fog, weight gain, and many other symptoms. These symptoms can be relieved by avoiding any foods you are allergic to!
