"The Good" are ingredients and meals that properly balance the three major food groups: Carbs, Proteins, and Fats, always together, along with the non-starchy vegetables, thus the basis of the Bountiful Guideline (BGL) is to Never Eat Alone.

​

This balance should consist of approximately 30 grams of carbs, a minimum of 20 grams of protein, and a natural source of fat in every meal. Sugar has 4 grams of carb per tsp so long as you measure it and keep it within the guidelines, it's okay. I prefer raw sugar. I also love those starchy vegetables as a carb. The ones that are hard to cut through are the ones usually counted and the vegetables that are easy to cut through are usually not a carb. Protein sources from animals should be clean of any hormones or antibiotics if possible. I always recommend putting your money in the meat. Fish and seafood should always be wild caught and be cautious of the labeling, it can be tricky. These balanced meals allow the brain to get its required sugar and the body to have the necessary fuel to repair and heal. To exclude any one of the major food groups shifts the balance, causing the body to store energy as fat or to break down your own proteins to obtain the necessary fuel. Balance is the key in optimizing health and metabolism.
