Correction :  

In the past, I have misunderstood this diet. I read the above paragraph and thought that the primary foods were the Hunter Gatherer core foods, and the secondary foods were Hunter Gatherer supplementary foods. This is not correct.

The primary foods are the Hunter Gatherer allowed foods and the secondary foods are the Agriculturist allowed foods. While the 2:1 ratio still places this diet closer to the H-G end of the scale than to the Ag end, it is more towards the centre of the continuum than previously supposed.

As far as I am aware, Bob McFerran has not posted his version of the Mixed diet, so it is not shown here. Refer to the individual H-G and Ag diets to see the full lists of allowed foods.

Some Mixed metabolic types will find this diet suits them just right. But as previously mentioned, metabolic types run on a continuum from extremely HG to extremely Ag. If you are somewhere in the middle, you may need to experiment to find the right balance between the two lists of foods.

DietNet Note : 

There seem to be some Agriculturists who need a higher calorie diet while not being able to tolerate the heavy proteins. This group is not suited to the Mixed diet as even that is too heavy. Let's call them Mixed Agriculturist. It seems that this group need to add small amounts of nuts, legumes and grains to the base Agriculturist diet. The foods from both the Agriculturist Supplemental and Avoid lists seem to work OK. Please note that is my observation only, and has not been endorsed by Bob McFerran. If you feel you need to test this out for yourself, please do so very carefully, noting how you feel with each addition.
