foodies first, with approved options 2nd.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\"><strong>WHEN we go for anything, we want to make sure it has the right ingredients.<\/strong><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0this means there are a lot of things that are approved based on ingredients.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>BUT APPROVED MAY NOT MEAN OPTIMAL.<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\"><strong>the majority of your food needs to be 100% fresh, real food<\/strong> &#8211; traditional fats, a variety of meats, nutrient-dense vegetables ( or <a href=\"https:\/\/superhumantransformation.com\/bobar-salad\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bobar salad<\/a>), and fresh fruit. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>things like approved ice creams, cookies, chips, all you can eat sushi, gluten-free pizzas, etc., are fine on occasion and definitely better than eating crap, but we need to be very careful with these options.<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\"><strong>when it comes to pizza, we\u2019d say gluten free pizza once a month would be a good treat to shoot for.<\/strong><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>at most once every 2 weeks.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>because if I have something suboptimal, that&#8217;s a day that\u2019s off, and usually it will have residual effects for a day or 2 afterward.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\">about ingredients.<\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>when choosing a pizza, <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">always ask to look at the ingredients<\/span>.<\/strong><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>the biggest offenders are going to be toxic oils. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>brown rice flour isn\u2019t optimal, but it isn\u2019t anywhere near as bad as gluten and toxic oils.\u00a0 we\u2019re only having this once a month ideally, so we don\u2019t see it being a huge issue.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">all other ingredients we have listed below with links and notes.\u00a0 rankings are good, fine, and
