Nutrition Resources

The Impossible Guide Series

If you’re looking to improve the way you eat, you’ve come to the right place. Welcome to the IMPOSSIBLE Nutrition Resources page.

Think of these nutrition resources as better researched and easier to read Wikipedia articles. Each guide is full of solid information and a ton of citations. These guides also link to other useful resources, to help you to carry out your own research if that’s something you want to do.

These nutrition guides have a paleo/low-carb bias, although we do try to explain when and how to use carbs smartly and effectively. Vegans, be warned: you may not like what you find inside. Here at IMPOSSIBLE we are definitely pro-meat (when that meat is quality grass-fed and locally sourced).

Food Groups

What are the different food groups?

  • The Impossible Guide to Vegetables
  • The Impossible Guide to Meat
  • The Impossible Guide to Fruits
  • The Impossible Guide to Grains
  • The Impossible Guide to Dairy
  • The Impossible Guide to Oils
  • The Impossible Guide to Sugar
  • The Impossible Guide to Junk Food

Macronutrients

What are macronutrients?

  • The Impossible Guide to Protein
  • The Impossible Guide to Fat
  • The Impossible Guide to Saturated Fat
  • The Impossible Guide to Carbohydrates

Additional Hormones & Other Chemical Compounds

  • The Impossible Guide to Cortisol
  • The Impossible Guide to Insulin
  • The Impossible Guide to Fish Oil
  • The Impossible Guide to Cholesterol
  • The Impossible Guide to Testosterone
  • The Impossible Guide to Estrogen
  • The Impossible Guide to Whey (more about grass-fed whey here).

The Paleo Diet

  • The Impossible Guide to The Paleo Diet

Important: I am not a doctor. I don’t even play a doctor on TV. Although we consider these guides to be definitive guides, there are new discoveries in the field of nutrition all the time. These guides should be seen as excellent starting points when it comes to understanding nutrition and your body and you should do your own research and take responsibility for your own health and eating choices.
