This is not a diet that excludes one food group or another. This is
not a fad diet, low carb diet, high protein diet, vegetarianism, vegan,
or anything of the sort. When you approach food the nutritarian way,
it’s not about calorie counting like other diets, but rather nutrient
counting. Each food has a nutrient score, like kale and collard greens
that score over 1,000 points each while a jelly doughnut is a 6, so you
can keep track of which foods are full of nutrients and eat like there
is no tomorrow. The more points the better.
Being a nutritarian is easy because it’s not about cutting any food
out. You won’t be committing to dieting in the sense of depriving
yourself or cutting back on food. No one likes to cut food out, but
adding food in is a whole different prospect. When you add in more good
food you naturally become less hungry for not as nutritious foods.
Nutritarians add nutrient rich foods to their diet, keeping them full
and not deprived. We all love to eat and your diet should reflect that.
