General Guidelines to Following the Giraffe Diet
Below is a pyramid that you can use as a guideline for
which foods are most important in following the Giraffe Diet.
As you can see, your meals should consist of mostly fresh
produce and other vegetarian foods. For instance, a good Giraffe
meal example is tofu and vegetable skewers over a wild rice
and vegetable pilaf, with a side of fruit salad. You are getting
plenty of vegetables and fruit, complex carbs from the rice,
and a little vegetarian protein from the tofu. Notice this
meal does not consist of meat or other animal products, nor a lot of fat.
