Proteins
Monkeys need lean
protein to keep their blood pH from rising too high
to the alkaline side. Since they are either normal
or slow oxidizers, too much protein will cause them
to feel sluggish because their body will break down
these foods slowly and energy production will be
delayed. Monkeys need a small amount of lean protein
throughout the day to feel their best.
Cottage Cheese-
Of all dairy foods, cottage
cheese provides the most protein per serving! Since
all diets are allowed to eat at least some dairy,
this is an excellent protein source for most of us.
Because it’s an animal product, though, Giraffes’
should not rely on it for the majority of their
protein! One of the great things about cottage
cheese and the Hauser Diet is there is a range of
varieties as far as fat goes. Depending on your
Hauser Diet Type, you can choose full fat (Lions and Otters),
reduced fat (Bears), or fat free (Monkey’s and
Giraffes).
Whether meat is a regular part of your diet, or you
completely avoid it, you can get the amount of daily
protein you need. Just choose the right proteins for
you Diet Type! Obviously, the Lions and Otters need
a lot of true animal protein, Bears do well with a
mix of animal and plant-based protein, while Monkeys
and Giraffes should be sticking with as many
plant-based proteins as possible. It’s always best
to eat a variety of foods because it ensures that
you get in a good mix of all nutrients. If you think

Lentils- Another often misidentified food is
lentils and other beans, as a high protein food.
This, or any legume for that matter, is a good way
for vegetarians to add protein to their diet. But
you should realize that the base of legumes is
carbohydrate, and on the Hauser Diet are considered
complex carbohydrates. Lentils provide a lot of
fiber and a lot of bulk to meals. This should be a
staple in the Giraffe and Monkey Diets. Any of the
Hauser Diets can have lentils to some degree, such
as a lentil soup. Ideally, for the higher protein
Lions and Otters, you should accompany a soup like
this with a slice of meat, or add meat to the soup. |
