Quick answers

Red meat?No

No, not more than once a month.

Keto?No

No matter which way you slice it, either saturated fat or plant based routes, keto style diets are unlikely to be successful for Villagers.

Carnivore?No

Nope.

Fermented foods?Depends

Based on histamine scoring, there is a chance Villagers could have issues with fermented foods, however, experimenting with nutrient dense fermented foods like natto or some goat and sheep dairy could be a nice way to help meet caloric needs.

Pancakes and refined grains?Depends

Villagers are best suited to whole food sources of fiber. Pancakes and other flour products aren’t a staple on their menu.

Biggest challenge

Not being too restrictive. One of the primary goals with every Gene Food diet type is to offer a template of eating that will help customers get their lab tests in a healthy range. Our scoring system estimates that Villagers may have a tougher time keeping markers of heart health looking good eating a lot of meat and fat. Similarly, crappy carbohydrates aren’t any good either. The challenge for Villagers is to figure out how plant based they need to be for optimal health. Being too restrictive won’t work for many Villagers, so finding the right volume for the plant based message will be important for this group. Some will want to stay 95-100% plant based, while 90% and lower on carbohydrate may work better for others.
