HEALTHY 4 LIFE
Dietary Guidelines and Recipe Book

Our colorful, 84-page guidelines booklet with recipes is available. Instead of
complicated formulas involving calories and grams, which most people don’t
understand, we simply recommend including high-quality foods from four
food groups in the diet every day. The good groups are:
• Animal foods, including meat, dairy, seafood, and bone broths;
• Grains, legumes and nuts, properly prepared;
• Vegetables and fruits, including lacto-fermented products;
• Healthy fats and oils, including butter, lard, coconut oil
and cod liver oil.
The feedback to our new publication has been very positive. It is suitable for
use in schools and inner city programs. To order online, go to www.westona-
price.org. Booklets are $10 each or $6 each for orders of ten or more.
