If You Don't YET Want to

 CHANGE the Way You Eat, Then ADD...

Add what?

Add the nutrient-rich superfoods that will change the way you eat, 

for you; and add them to the way you are currently eating. We call this the Superfood Eating "Initial Approach" to change or making the "Switch" to nutrient rich healthy eating. 

You see there is one thing that a nutrient rich super foods will do that no other food in the food chain can do; they supply massive amounts of micronutrients that nourish and detoxify your body. 

For example, according to Dr. Fuhrman, just 3 servings of cruciferous vegetables each week, such as broccoli, is the equivalent of eating over 20 servings of regular green vegetables!

If that's true, can you imagine what would happen if you includes 3, 6, 9 or more servings of cruciferous vegetables in your diet every week? How much healthier would you be? How much farther down the path would you be towards actually desiring a change in the way you eat.

For example: Broccoli is one of the Nutrient-Rich "Superfoods" - What are some others? Find out here: http://ow.ly/kYxDL

And there are so many more...this is just the tip of the iceberg. 

And here's what happens when you begin adding them into your current eating style...

• Your food preferences change.
• Your body starts functioning better,
• You get satisfied faster, and
• If you add enough of them in ways you enjoy, you'll start to see your weight and health change naturally. When this happens you'll then be super motivated to take nutrition and lifestyle changes to a whole new level.

This is a very real strategy and is rooted in "reality," because if this where a conversation of a different kind, such as general healthy eating, eating more plant based nutrient rich foods would make perfect sense to you. Nobody would debate it.

Now in the context of achieving your health objectives and maximizing your health (energy, weight, fitness) and life potential (longevity) taking this initial Superfood Eating approach of eating those foods that literally work for you will make the difference between not wanting to change the way you eat, to wanting a change.

Nutrient Rich Superfoods will nourish, and detoxify your body every single time you eat them will go a long way towards the next step on the path which is to begin making the Switch, from nutrient poor to nutrient rich healthy eating. 

The Superfood Eating Approach™, kicks it all off. This is the first step on the path.

Serves 4

4 sweet potatoes
1 tablespoons olive oil or 2 tbs if you are using water
1 shallot, diced
1 garlic clove, minced
1 (4-inch) sprig fresh rosemary 
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 1/2 cups (or 1 can) cooked and drained white beans
6 cups kale, trimmed and sliced into ribbons
Juice of 1/4 lemon
Salt and freshly ground black pepper(optional)

Preheat oven to 400°F.

Scrub the sweet potatoes and prick them in a few places with a fork. Place them on a baking sheet and bake until soft all the way through, about 45 minutes to 1 hour.

Start the beans and greens about 15 to 20 minutes before the sweet potatoes are done.

In a wide, deep saucepan with a cover, heat the olive oil over low-moderate heat. Add the shallots and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, rosemary sprig, and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring, for about a minute. Add the beans and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the kale, cover the pan, and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes or until the kale is soft. Remove the rosemary sprig, stir in the lemon juice, and season to taste with salt and pepper.

To serve, slice each sweet potato lengthwise and push on the ends to open up the middle. Spoon the beans and greens into the center.

These are urgent times.

We need a food revolution because…

1. Something is happening right now that’s taking a terrible toll on all of us.

2. Because we are the fattest people with the highest rate of obesity anywhere and in the history of the world…

3. Because the costs are staggering, we already spend more than double per capita than any other country in the world on health care

4. And we do that while being the only industrialized country in America that does not guarantee health care to all of its citizens

5. Our federal debt is sourcing, our kids are getting sicker we have the highest and rates of obesity and we are poisoning ourselves and all of life with pesticides.

6. We have developed a system of meat production that subjects animal to confinement, unimaginable-unconscionable cruelty, and foodstuffs that are completely unnatural to their physiology, hoards of antibiotics and are creating resistant bacteria that will render even our most sophisticated medical technology impotent.

7. More than 50 million men need to take a drug to get an erection

8. We deserve better, the wholesome food that connects us to our food, each other and our communities

9. We deserve to be healthy, vital radiant people

10. We deserve to love and thrive, not just survive.

May all fed,

May all be healed

May all be loved.

It was great to hear John Robbins talk about one of the most powerful nutrition facts of his seminal book Diet for a New America, the book that actually launched the food revolution over 20 years ago, that is this... if "American's", just Americans, ate 10% less animal products, the biggest consumers of grains in the world (live stock) no one in the world would go hungry. Nearly 60,000 people a day die of starvation in the world, so I think we can both eat less meat, and redirect those grain resources to the people who need it.

Don't you?

In the last interview with John and Ocean Robbins... John Robbins laid out the 10 questions he asks that keep him aligned right with the foods he eats.

These are the 10 food questions you too could be asking...

1. Will eating this food propel me towards an inspiring future or keep me stuck in the past?
2. Is this food consistent with my ethics or will was it produced in a way that create harm to the earth and cause unnecessary harm to other sentient beings?
3. Will eating this food bring me long term fulfillment or only short term gratification?
4. I am maintaining my own integrity and well-being or just trying to please others?
5. Am I feeding my strength or indulging my weakness?
6. Will eating this way enable me to align with my spiritual path or is it a distraction from living a conscious life?
7. Will this food add to my life force or will it decrease my vitality?
8. Does this choice empower me or not?
9. Is this an act of self-love or an act of self-sabotage?
10. Am I coming from faith in self and in life or am I coming from fear?

These questions are powerful, and guess what, they will all naturally steer you towards a More Plant Based Nutrient Rich, healthy eating style and the superfoods that deliver all the results!

What is a GMO?
Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are made by forcing genes from
one species, such as bacteria, viruses, animals, or humans, into the DNA
of a food crop or animal to introduce a new trait.

Why Should I Avoid GMOs?
The American Academy of Environmental Medicine reported, “Several
animal studies indicate serious health risks associated with GM food,”
including infertility, immune problems, accelerated aging, faulty insulin
regulation, and changes in major organs and the gastrointestinal system.
They urge physicians to prescribe healthier non-GMO foods to
everyone.

This is a a really provocative statement! JR

Diabetes heart disease, cancer, insulin resistance... sugar is really at the root of this chronic problem... the disease is down stream, but the root cause is rarely addressed. There are 700 calories more per person in our foods supply today and a great deal of these calories come from in HFCS, high fructose corn syrup, which effects body differently than regular sugar.

It's not a medication deficiency it's a food problem - Mark Hyman M.D.

Added sugar is 15% of our calories, one soda is 20 teaspoons of sugar. The average kid has about 50% of their calories from soda!
The amount of refined and added sugar should effectively be 0

We can't have free access to an addictive substance. - Mark Hyman M.D.

There is not doubt that we need a food system that regenerates itself!

Monsanto and other "chemical companies", sell chemicals. All of their Roundup and other chemicals were never designed to increase crop yields, or reduce the need for chemicals. It was always designed to increase the consumption and use of chemicals.  It's not about you, nutrition, health, it's about selling their toxic chemicals.
