The Paleo Diet in a Nutshell

I had to post this video on the Paleo diet in a nutshell. My friend Cindy just sent it to me, by email knowing that it would make a great blog post. It does such a good job describing, no “illustrating”, the modern day landscape that is making people fat, sick and nearly dead.

But first, as you watch this, keep these 3 myths and untruths in mind that we’ll get into in greater detail in future posts:

Recipe Simplicity Rules

I don’t know about you but I would rather eat a GREEN apple than some YELLOW #6. What the heck is that anyway? Yet, it is in a lot of our refined, processed, American food items and most of us are not even aware of what we are eating. Look at this list: whole grain [...]

The Most Effective New Years Food Resolution

Make “Real Food” Your Health Food, “Health Food” Your Junk food and Put Junk In the Garbage! Who needs junk food when most health foods are really refined foods that are loaded with all kinds of unnatural stuff? I would venture to say that 90% of all health foods are really junk foods and nothing [...]

Eat Better Holiday Meals Now, and You Won’t Need to Eat Less Later

See our last post: Do the Holidays the Nutrient Rich Way – Happy Thanksgiving!

Why do most have to go on a diet in the New Year, eating less food than they want and need? The answer is simple. They eat so many nutrient-poor, calorie-rich foods during the holidays, they overeat excessively, and it’s only natural to want to deal with the most obvious symptom; overweight. It’s what happens when you overload your body with food that doesn’t “serve” your needs other than great taste.

Is Meat Safe? T. Colin Campbell on Larry King Live.

What’s so transparent about the 4-5 people on this CNN panel is the predictable perspectives of each person – that of a practical scientist who was clearly the most educated in the subject of nutrition among the panelists (T. Colin Campbell), a traditional 4-food groups nutritionist, a “chef” and a newbie vegetarian who is on and off. As well, a meat industry representative.

Eat 80% Fat and be Healthy! ???

As I listened to this presentation, I was surrounded by the same group of people I remember seeing at Atkins events years ago (I used to attend for insight into that trend). Overweight people who are being misled by other overweight people who have good intentions but, need to open their minds and understand more than weight management and observational science, and the nutrient poor model of nutrition.

An Inconvenient Truth That Can Inspire YOU in 2007.

In just the past week alone, the History Channel, and the Discovery Channel ran multiple documentaries on the subject of global warming or what’s otherwise known as “climate change”.   National Geographic has the clearing of the Amazon on its front cover and there are many other references to what is happening right now to our [...]

Intuitive eating, only works when you eat Nutrient Rich

The Nutrient Rich Revolution, Eat Better, Not Less is based on the idea that we are eating foods that serving our needs. Losing Weight the Nutrient Rich Way is no different; you want to eat foods that are serving your needs. But there is a prevailing thought out there that we must not eat for [...]

Diets are designed to fail because they’re designed to end!

Are you hearing me? This is the hard cold truth! Problem is, most diets end because what you’re doing to lose weight is not how you would want to live for the rest of your life! Who want’s to eat low calorie, low fat, or low carb for the rest of their life? Healthy diet? [...]
