Why The Hauser Diet Is The Only One That Makes Sense For All Of Humanity
Ross A. Hauser, M.D.

The most popular diets in America that are espoused every few years are the Atkins, Zone, Ornish and Mediterranean Diets. They all are a big improvement over the processed, crap that people put in their mouths. In simple terms the Atkins Diet is high protein, low carbohydrate. The Zone Diet is 40/30/30, in other words, it is basically an equal mix of carbohydrate/fat and protein. The Ornish Diet is mostly vegetarian. The Mediterranean Diet is also a lot of fresh food but also emphasizes olive oil and whole grains. The bottom line as to why none of these diets are great for humanity is that they don’t take into account individual variances in genetics, physiology, climate, as well as current health state of the individual. The Mediterranean diet may work for a lot of people who live around the Mediterranean sea but what about the rest of the human race. The Atkins Diet originated in New York City by Dr. Atkins. Perhaps it works great for people who live in a cold new york climate but what about people in Southern California. Ah, they have the Ornish Diet which I believe originated down there where it is very warm. Often these diets are compared to one another with various studies. To me this is a waste of time because I could tell you the results ahead of time. It depends on where the study is taking place. If it takes place in a colder climate, the Atkins Diet is going to win. If it takes place in a warmer climate, the Ornish wins. The Zone and Mediterraean Diet are very balanced so in a head to head competition they just aren’t going to win.

The only Diet that takes into account individual physiological variances that depends on weather, the health of the individual, genetics and everything else that affects a persons individual physiology, is The Hauser Diet. It will in the end triumph over all the diets of the world, as far as explaining which diet explanation makes the most amount of sense for all of humanity.

In the book The Hauser Diet, my wife Marion and Nicole Baird have done a good job explaining the basic premise of The Hauser Diet. The theory if you will but the diet goes way beyond what the book entails. It’s basic notion, which makes sense to everyone I have ever talked to is this: ‘Before one can talk about which foods a person should eat they need to know their Hauser Diet Type. We have divided the Diet Types into five categories based upon how the animals eat. There is the Lion, Otter, Bear, Monkey, and Giraffe Diet Types. In reality there are a lot more but for most of us, dividing us into these five is sufficient.

You see common sense says eat real, non-processed food. OK we are in agreement. The fresher the food the better. OK so far? Do as little manipulating of the food after it is grown by the farmer or caught in the wild. But now one must make the choice as to which food will make them the healthiest? Do you know? Is it an organic steak or fresh vegetables? It is easy to say fresh vegetables, but why not go down to the zoo and start feeding the Lions vegetables everyday. Let’s see how long it will be before the Lions and Tigers are dead! You see for the Lion to have optimum health, energy and wellness they must eat lots and lots of meat. Plain and simple. Whole grains, vegetables and fruits are not good for them. To do so will get them tired, sleepy and ultimately they will die a premature death. Likewise the Giraffe and Monkeys can not eat a lot of protein. Feed them a lot of chicken, beef, and pork and soon they will lay down and die! For the bear they need balance. They eat a mixture of berries and salmon. They eat about as much protein and carbohydrates. So which Hauser Diet Type are you? It is important because almost everything about nutrition is relative to which diet type you are. Don’t understand let me explain.

The American Dietetic Association, U.S. Department of Agriculture and the American Heart Association and the rest of the American Government officials want you to believe basically the following:

Carbohydrates are great so have 11 servings per day (food pyramid)
Fat is bad, so have as little of that as you can
Protein in moderation is ok

Do all the above and your health will be great! Well the above is a bunch of cow dung! You see nutritional advice is always relative to your Hauser Diet Type. For the Giraffe or the Monkey the above guidelines probably will work because they need a high carbohydrate diet. There bodies were made to efficiently process carbohydrates into energy. They will have optimum health, energy, and wellness by eating a high carbohydrate, low fat, low protein diet. The Lion, Otter or Bear Diet Types would not do so well on such a diet. Yes put the Lion, Otter and Bear on this diet and they will be at increased risk of high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, stroke, heart attack and premature death. They also will feel crappy most days.

If Lions, Otters and Bears are given more protein and fat then the above guidelines they feel better and their health is improved. Put Giraffes and Monkeys on a high protein, high fat diet and they will be at increased risk of high cholesterol, high blood pressure, stroke, heart disease and premature death. Of course they will feel awful also! You see Lions and Otters need eggs and other high protein sources because their bodies were made to efficiently process protein and fat into energy. Give them fat and protein (of course we are talking about organic, natural sources of fat and protein) and they will feel optimal.

So The Hauser Diet and its principles is saying that nutritional advice is relative. You can tell someone they must eat like this or that unless you know that individuals or group of individuals Hauser Diet Types. Once you know that you can make all sorts of dietary recommendations for them to not only feel great, prevent disease, but also reverse diseases! For we need to get back to healthcare not sickness care. This can only happen if we have revolution in the diet industry. In my opinion the place to start is with The Hauser Diet!
