There is a new voice in the nutrition community—and it is a booming one! John Allen Mollenhauer, a leading proponent of the More Plant-Based Nutrient Rich^® Approach to nutrient rich healthy eating, is proud to announce the re-launch of nutrientrich.com, a robust website chock full of goodies including The Complete Nutrient Rich^® Healthy Eating Plan and Support System that enables people to make “the Switch” from nutrient-poor unhealthy eating to the great-tasting “nutrient-rich” healthy eating style that is growing in popularity. The site also offers Mollenhauer’s Switch to Rich Digest, a Blog of well-written and researched relevant articles and current event commentary, on this revolutionary new eating style; a delicious and nutritious line of raw, whole, organic super food nutrition products at The Rezealiant Living Store; a comprehensive support system; and a healthy Recipe Database that is second to none! It is the culmination of his life’s work—and it shows! John Allen has wrapped it all up into the simplest and most direct path to success!

The beauty of the nutrient-rich way of eating and living is that you can eat Vegetarian or Vegan or not, gluten-free or not, organic or not, low calorie or not, low fat or not, and even low-carb or not--and still be eating the Nutrient Rich Way. It is an eating style that starts with optimizing the foods and meals you eat for nutrient density, variety, volume and great taste, free of addictive substance so you eat the right amount of calories for you, when you are truly hungry.

It is based on the emerging body of nutritional research that demonstrates the healing powers of higher-micro-nutrient per-calorie foods that detoxify the body, promote natural weight loss, dramatically improve health, reverse disease, and promote slower aging, a younger look and a longer life.

This is not a one-diet-fits-all approach; rather, nutrient-rich healthy eating is a normal and natural way to eat that is designed to meet all of your needs, all the time, including Great Taste!

“This is not just a website—it is a complete healthy eating system that starts delivering the minute you subscribe,” states Mollenhauer, a nutrition education trainer and performance lifestyle coach.

When people enter the site, they are invited to download a very revealing guide called, Wow, I Thought I Was Eating Healthy! Have You Tricked Yourself into ‘Believing’ You’re Eating a Healthy Diet? A must read, as it illuminates the 9 ‘healthier’ diet tactics that are causing us to gain weight, drain our energy and age faster.

After reading this insightful Guide, users are then invited to take a Personal Diet Quality (PDQ) Assessment, which provides them with a Nutrient Rich^® Healthy Eating Score, and recommendations for improvement, as well as a fun icon that inspires users to take the way they eat to a whole new level.

Next they get The Nutrient Rich Healthy Eating Plan, which is available in printed and digital formats including .pdf, and .epub and .noki for Ipad, Nook and Kindle ereaders, etc., and consists of:

• Step 1: Switch to Rich—Nutrient Rich^® Healthy Eating  
• Step 2: Shop, Organize, Prepare & Eat Out The Nutrient Rich^® Way
• Step 3: Simple, Quick & Easy^™ Nutrient Rich^® Recipes (created by Chef Ramses Bravo)
• Step 4: How to Lose Weight the Nutrient Rich^® Way!

The Plan also comes coupled with an extensive Membership Site, which includes online and phone support, a Member Forum, Training and Q&A Calls, with John Allen, and much, much more, as well as a free 300-gram, 30-day supply of Rezealiant "Living Feast" —the great-tasting, whole food, nutrient-rich low-calorie way to fill up, and also speed up body detoxification and natural weight loss!

After many years of being on the path of improving his eating and overall lifestyle, while developing a new worldview on how to live a healthy lifestyle successfully, and be better able to achieve your goals, known as Performance Lifestyle^®, John Allen wanted to establish a new standard of eating. Naturally, he arrived at eating nutrient rich because, as John Allen says, “All paths of dietary practice eventually lead to nutrient-rich healthy eating.”

Mentored early on, by Joel Fuhrman, MD, a leading physician and high-nutrient density nutrition researcher, John Allen became a consummate student on the subject and ultimately launched nutrientrich.com, and was one of the first in the world to begin defining how to eat in a nutrient-rich way.

John’s approach is fresh, modern and to the point. His clear and direct message fully explains what it means to eat "nutrient rich"—the buzz term for healthy eating that we have been hearing so much about these days, which is based on the cornerstone of nutrition called, "nutrient density.”

Mollenhauer says, “When I first caught wind of this idea, I didn’t approach it from a weight loss-only or an "eating healthier" motivation because, as a former body-builder, I had already traveled those paths and knew they didn’t provide sustainable results. Rather, I wanted to find the healthiest and most successful way to eat, and make that ‘The New Normal’ for people who were clearly suffering from hidden lifestyle challenges that were holding them back—the biggest of which, was how they were eating!”

And thanks to his tireless work this healthy eating style is finally being discovered by a whole new generation of people! However, John Allen admits that he did not discover this eating style all on his own and clearly acknowledges that The Nutrient Rich^® Healthy Eating Style and Plan were developed on the shoulders of giants—all of whom cleared the way by heroically doing the long-term studies, clinical work and research on plant-based nutrition and lifestyle intervention, as the way to live disease free. Throughout his career, John Allen has had the leadership and mentoring of many of these leading health and performance professionals, several of whom he now calls close friends, and many of whom are members of The Lifestyle Health and Science Advisory at nutrientrich.com. John simply mined all of the information and ideas he could find, taking the best of the best to create The Complete Nutrient Rich^® Healthy Eating Plan and Lifestyle Support System—the most direct path to success.

Nutrient-Rich eating is The Great-Tasting Healthy Way to Eat that delivers what he has coined as The 7 Success Results Every Body Wants—detoxification, natural weight loss, optimized health and performance, reversal of life-style induced diseases (being overweight, heart disease, and diabetes, etc.), slower aging, looking younger and maximized longevity.

“Eating nutrient rich is not a fad—once you discover it, you can’t go back,” adds Mollenhauer, CEO, Nutrient Rich Life., Inc.

"I can only imagine starting from this place when I began my search for the healthiest and most successful way to eat,” says John Allen, with a smile.

John Allen Mollenhauer invites the public to check out http://nutrientrich.com, where they can take their time in understanding this amazing new eating style, by reading and discovering their own paths to Nutrient Rich^® Healthy Eating!

The post Develop a “New Normal” Healthy Eating Style You Can Call Your Own appeared first on Nutrient Rich.

There is more to healthy eating and living long at or near your ideal weight than nutrition alone.

Clearly, it takes other things besides what we've talked about so far to live a long time.  It takes an attitude of optimism.  It takes happiness in life.  It takes a little bit of luck to have no major tragedies happen to you in life, not have a lot of long-term stresses that last for years and years and wear you down, and have good social relationships and interaction with other people, and things that make you feel fulfilled and make you feel of value in life.  Those are all important issues which help enable you to achieve a longer life. 

Nutritionally speaking, I'm just giving a rough summary here of some criteria that makes the nutrient rich or "nutritarian" body of knowledge I teach, a complete and overall body of knowledge that says that disease is not the inevitable consequence of age.  It’s not natural to have to be physicians who medicate ourselves for all kinds of problems that arrive in life.
 
As you go to get more medical care, you realize that populations who have more money and more access to medical care don’t live a lot longer than populations who have little or no access to medical care.  In fact, the opposite is true.  As populations who have spent less money on medical care, take less drugs and less medical care done to them, they generally have a longer life with less morbidity and higher mortality.

So we have multi billion-dollar industries, like the diet industry, the industry of depressed people which thinks that (you know, the psychologists, the social workers, the psychiatrists, the drug companies) where everybody is thinking that the depression is caused by hormonal deficiencies, imbalances and drugs.  And nobody really looks at the lack of things in the natural environment that affects brain function. 

The Critics way in...

So what we’re talking about is living free of heart disease for example not having heart attacks at all, not having high blood pressure at all, avoiding cancer and all of the major causes of death, and at the same time supporting ourselves in a manner so our bodies cannot age quickly and we can enjoy our later years.  And the critics of Eat to Live the Nutrient-Rich Program for Fast and Sustainable Weight Loss, don’t really know it well enough because if they knew it well enough they could really critique it intelligently.  Most critiques are based on just misinformation, misinterpretation.  They don’t know what I’m teaching sufficiently.

For example, not enough of this or that, like not enough fat.  Oh, how could they critic that there’s not enough fat?  I don’t recommend a diet low in fat or high in fat.  I recommend the fat intake to be adjusted to a particular individual’s needs for fat. And that could range from, let’s say, 15% of fat to 40% of calories of fat, whatever that persons needs for fat would be.  A person who’s very overweight obviously needs less fat and shouldn’t be eating much fat.  It should be low.  A person who’s a world-class athlete might need more fat in their diet to meet their caloric need.  I’m not fat-phobic and I recognize the need for healthy fats. 

But certainly here, I’m talking about people eating less fat that’s low in nutrients. It has to be the fat that’s rich in nutrients,  fat, like nuts and seeds and avocados and not empty calorie fat.  We’re trying to remove empty calorie nutrients because we recognize that low calorie or empty calorie nutrients leads to a buildup of metabolic waste products because we can’t process calories without a nutrient load, without producing the buildup of waste products. 

So having not enough of this or not enough of that is not a really good critique of a healthy diet to begin with., because we’re trying to design a diet so that is exactly enough of what a person needs based on looking at the person, ascertaining a way to make sure they get everything they need, and testing if we’re not sure they’re getting everything they need. 

So clearly, we need carbohydrate, but the carbohydrate we take in should be nutrient rich carbohydrate.  And we need protein, too.  We need enough, not too much, but again, the protein we take in should be nutrient rich protein, especially beans and green vegetables and seeds and nuts which are rich in protein, but actually high in nutrients simultaneously, and reducing the dependence on animal products which are essentially nutrient poor proteins to a degree.  It’s also toxic protein.  It’s better to take the nutrients needed and metabolize it without producing toxins especially if you consume too much of it.

So we have to be able to understand this to help other people understand. I think if people knew more about about the nutrient rich way to eat, with more clarity, they’re wouldn be so angry at times that it calls into question many of the old fragmented diet, nutritional paradigms that well magazines. Where they’re coming from, the dietician for example, let’s say, who works for Vogue Magazine is going to be angry when she looks at this information because they think they know everything already and it shakes them up. 

They have something new to learn. They really don’t know everything about nutrition which has gone to a whole new level and context these days. And so, they have to try to twist it, distort it, knock it or misunderstand it to make media.  And clearly, this is a body of knowledge that I think that was well put together so that people could feel secure.  At least we’re trying to address all those various parameters that make people get into trouble. 

So putting the nutrient rich "nutritarian" body of knowledge together is the purpose of this website, and why I am so excited to have you, guys, as members so you can really understand nutrient rich nutrition.  I feel fully expressed to have people understand the full body of knowledge and deal with all the misconceptions.

But certainly, there are plenty of people who live to be 100, and eat some animal products. It's clear, you can’t have many animal products in your diet, because animal products, especially the animal-product we eat today, because the animal products today are much more polluted than animal products of yesteryears. They’re richer in saturated, unhealthy fat and they’re not raised in the forest. They’re raised on farms, with much more sources of pollution.

And, of course, any diet style, even if you eat a primitive diet rich in animal products, takes away from our diet the phytochemicals and the nutrient densities we would get if we ate a diet richer in the phytochemical-rich food. So just like if you eat a diet richer in bagels and even maybe whole wheat bread, it’s not going to be an ideal diet because you’re not eating enough vegetables, fruits, beans, lots of seeds. In other words, it takes away calories from your plate that could have been consumed as nutrient-rich foods that we can eat a lot of in today’s society. We have to have a high level of these nutrients on our tissues to prevent disease especially in this stressful environment.

Animal products are nutrient poor. There are groups all over the world, like the paleo crowd that would like to debate that and promote cholesterol rich, saturated unhealthy fat and protein rich foods as nutrient rich and simply put, they are not. When you learn the Nutritarian, nutrient rich way to eat you will understand why.

But whether or not you eat animal products is not the only issue when it comes to healthy eating. Many communities make this the central issue of the great food or health debate, and it is a major one, but this debate also takes the focus off of the central issue and one of the most powerful ways of looking at food and that is the nutrient qualities of the food. From this perspective, animal products fall so far short of what meets are needs, it makes no sense to base a diet in these foods or eat them in significant quantities.

A nutritarian or nutrient rich way of evaluating the quality of your diet, is much more inclusive of a broader array of dietary attributes than most other approaches to eating.

A basic nutritional education can help you understand this, like you will get here.

Its exciting and very liberating!

Perfect fat for athletes

I found this great article from Body Sport.com that addresses one of the biggest nutritional myths ever~that a low fat diet will equal weight loss.

I have been eating a lot of avocado's lately and loving them. Not only becuase they are creamy, satisfying and delicious but becuase they helped me lose weight- 30 pounds!

Currently, while preparing for a figure competition,  I added an avocado a day into my meal plan and the weight just kept coming off.   I never allowed myself to eat an avocado prior to this experience as I always thought they were FAT and would make me FAT. Well nothing can be further from the truth.

Figure competitors have low body fat and eat avocado's which proves the point that nutrient rich fats are healthy and promote natural weight loss.

This is one diet trap that I am happy to have broken free of. By the way there are many, many other diet traps that keep ups stuck in dieting hell.  If you are unfamiliar with what a diet trap is Click here for a free report and leave a comment on some of the diet traps you've personally experienced and what you have discovered.
