Protein does not mean Animal!

I am never ceased to be amazed at how many weight loss information sites, weight loss diets, so called natural weight loss sites and frankly everyone from the government to your average nutritionist and personal trainer who think protein only comes from animals. Now I’m not ranting about becoming a vegetarian, I’m simply making the [...]

Why are we overweight?

Two answers 1 – We have predominantly nutrient poor diets 2 – We are not using what we’re consuming. Don’t waste your time “wondering” how to get healthy and fit. The Nutrient Rich Revolution provides the true and more complete answers to living at or near your ideal weight. I say near, because if you [...]

An Angolan Epidemic and “Eat Your Peas”

When I was a kid, my mom urged me to eat my peas because “there are children starving in Africa.” Like most kids, I would have been all too happy to ship my peas over there, and didn’t understand the underlying concept of “you don’t realize how lucky you are.” Today, I was scanning Google [...]

C is for Collard Greens?

Cookie Monster, everybody’s favorite addict, is going Nutrient Rich. He’s returning for the show’s 36 Season this week calling cookies “sometimes foods” and teaching kids to “eat your colors,” presumably referring to fruits and vegetables and not Keebler Chips Deluxe with M&Ms. A couple of comments: First, this is just one more sign of the [...]

What’s a little liver damage?

A study funded by drug maker Pfizer showed that high doses of their drug Lipitor cut the risk of strokes and heart attacks “more impressively than expected,” the Associated Press reported yesterday (March 9, 2005). Researchers also noted that “some patients developed liver problems that forced them to stop taking the medication” and “more study [...]

“I Lowered My Cholesterol!”

You know the commercial where the guy who eats the breakfast cereal is going around telling everyone, “I lowered my cholesterol!” I thought that was pretty corny until I got back the results of my first checkup since discovering the Nutrient Rich lifestyle. Now, the first thing you need to know about me is that [...]

The worst thing that ever happened to getting healthier…

The diet industry, telling us we should be going on diets and giving those diets names. NutrientRich is NOT a diet, it’s a standard! Let’s get clear, we all have a diet, it’s a question of what quality. Whether you’re dieting, – that act of eating manipulated food, controlling portion sizes in the face of [...]

Labels are helpful, but they say nothing of quality!

The introduction of unnatural food products – so much of our nutritional information today, now has to accommodate a discussion about foods that have no healthful place being in our body to begin with, regardless of what the label says. Quick story – I was out with a business associate the other day, and he [...]
