Up until yourself and Coach Yari I’ve not heard of Dr. Sear’s program.

This was submitted by Connecticut based strength coach Jimmy Smith of Jimmy Smith Training

So if you have a problem with that I’d check with him.

This is totally Dr. Sear’s P.A.C.E. program. Shame on you. At least have the decency to give credit where its due.

Comment on 4 Foods You Should Never Eat by Faith

Yes i heard that soy milk has casenogenic (please check spelling) properties. I do like using it as a moo milk substitute. I lost a few kilo’s after doing so for a few months. I personally don’t like too much bread but soy, wheat and rice conbination in certain proportions creates a great amino acid brekky! Not very flavoursome, slightly bitter but obviously… muscle building food!!!
I hate getting a kick out of sugar and transfat food. Like wheat, I get physically and mentally low on sugar and fast foods. It so bad, bad, bad…

Thanks again for sharing Jay

It’s hard to recommend that no one should use low carb diets.

What if you are a protein type like I am (Protein, Carb, Mixed Type)

American Indians and Eskomos Thrived on Lower Carb Diets and South America Indians thrived on Vegetarian Diets.

So the history suggests that they both can work depending on the person.

I would also say that the people you know that lost 30 pounds on a low carb diet messed up by going back to what they ate before. If something is working why not stick with it and it obviously did work since they lost so much weight.

The problem was not the low carb diet but the people not adopting a life long plan.

Not sure what you meant by what humans were meant to eat but I know it’s not bread, pasta & cereal which was not even available to primal man.

Again the key is finding what works for you through trial & error or testing (Metabloic Typing)

I thrive on a diet of beef, chicken, lamb, eggs, whole raw milk, fruits and veggies.

Rice, potatoes, breads and pasta just don’t do it for me

It’s also important to find quality sources of these foods (free range organic & raw) like I do with the Traditional Nutrtion Guild here in NYC

Thanks again

Most people find it hard when I say to stay away from wheat. The thing is most people don’t know whether ther are intolerant or not.

I know through testing via the alcat blood test.

Most wheat products are also just way over processed especially breads, cereals and pasta.

And vegables are a much better source of fiber than most wheat products

But as you mentioned the key is finding what works best for you. If you feel better eating wheat based products then that it all that really matters.

I agree with everything except for the wheat part. But I’m a bit biased because I’m a HUGE whole grain products fan and to me personnally, I always feel great after eating it. The fiber in it is quite important if you want to lose weight, but I guess if you do have an intolerance then it just isn’t for you.
I’m also not sure about the soy part, but yes, there are a lot of studies that demonstrate some of the not so good sides of soy.
Thanks

Do not do low carb diets! I know a whole lot of people who have done it and yes, they did lose almost 30 pounds (from 220 to 190) but it also ruined them. You lose most of your muscle mass when you do these diets, and if you ever stop (which 95% of people who start a diet do), you will gain everything back and more because your body will try to hold onto the good food you give it after missing it for a while by turning it into fat. These people I know went from 220 to above 230 because of these horrible low-carb diets they were doing! You shouldn’t deprive yourself of what humans were meant to eat. If you truly want to lose weight, don’t cut carbs. Just avoid the unhealthy empty carbs (ex.: most of McD’s meals), boost your protein intake, choose good healthy sustaining carbs full of nutrients and cut down on the fat you eat (especially trans and saturated fat). You should also do some exercise (obviously). For more info, just check out body for life and also eating for life. I’ve read these books (they might also have webpages) and they’re great! You should also check out the book “Power Eating”. Just, please, don’t do these low carb diets! Thanks,
Jay

Comment on Egg Whites or Wholes Eggs? by admin

Thanks for sharing Lori

that’s an excellent resource more people need to know about.

Dr. Price’s book, Nutritional & Physical Degeneration is excellent.

Hi Virgil,
You can get all the info, best info on what you should eat at
westonaprice.org That’s where Dr. Mercola probably refers to. Dr. Price knew about the importance of the whole egg back in the 1930’s.
Basic nutrition – you need saturated fats to help digest protein and to absorb fat-soluble vitamins. I never could understand the mainstream fitness/diet push to eat egg white omelets and boneless, skinless chicken breasts. Doesn’t anybody enjoy eating real food anymore? The way God intended.
