A Pure Jeevan family member recently asked us how they can tell if they're consuming too much protein. They felt because they have been eating too many nuts and seeds, because of how quick and filling they are, that perhaps their intake of protein is too high in their diet.

We also have learned, through experience, that the more we rely on this type of nutrition (high in fat), the less energetic we feel long-term.
