“As a society, we have become so sick, weak, and broken, we accept the abnormal as normal.”
“In unambiguous terms, we are genetically wired to eat simple, unprocessed foods, and to expend a fair amount of energy in that process (walk, run, lift, carry, dance!).”
“Exercise is important, but diet is critical.”
“there are no “essential carbohydrates.” Our bodies can make all the carbohydrates it needs from protein and fat.”
“Fitness, like food, family, and friends, should be fun and support your life, not take from it.”
“Despite the hype and promises, most supplements fail to deliver much of anything.”
“The cortisol-steeped reality is a shitty bar, creepy people, expensive booze, and a morning wakeup that feels like a breakfast date with the county coroner.”
“My job is to help you understand the rules of this game so you, your family, and our society as a whole can be winners instead of unwitting victims of our modern junk food catastrophe. That is my motivation—and if you’re successful, I’m successful. I”
“In looking at stress, we will learn that there are important things we can do to minimize stress, but ironically, it may be far more important to change our perception of stress than to try to become a monk on a mountaintop.”
“We moved from a nutrient-dense, protein-rich diet that was varied and changed with location and seasons to a diet dependent upon a few starchy crops.”
“I hope you see that a high-carb, low-fat diet is not the route to keeping your heart, or your bones, strong and healthy.”
“It is worth noting, power is the physical attribute that deteriorates fastest with age. But it is also the fitness component that gives us the greatest rewards if we diligently train it throughout life.”
“total likelihood of developing cancer has increased dramatically due to hyperinsulinism.”
“Trans fats ruin liver function. They wreak havoc on blood lipids. They destroy insulin sensitivity.”
“the same receptor sites in our brains that respond to heroine and opium (the opiate receptors) are triggered by wheat.”
“The same governmental do-goodery that brought us the high-carb, low-fat diet, also brought us trans fats.”
“Vivi bene, ama molto, ridi spesso means “Live well, love much, laugh often.”
“If you are concerned about skin cancer because of this sun exposure, keep in mind, safe, incremental sun exposure (not burning your skin) decreases your likelihood of developing a host of cancers far more than it increases your likelihood of developing skin cancer.”
“Grains are NOT healthy! Be they whole or half a grain.”
“life. I want you to experiment with foods outside the basic Paleo diet (this is what the 7-Day Carb Test Plan is for) and figure out what foods you can eat that do not cause you problems. This provides for as much variety as possible while maintaining our health, sanity, and waistline. In my own diet I tend to include a fair amount of properly prepared beans and lentils, as well as some goat’s- and sheep’s-milk-based dairy, mainly cheeses. I am highly reactive to gluten, and cow dairy (of all types, with the possible exception of butter) gives me acne. Being middle-aged is bad enough; I do not want to be over the hill and looking like I’m going through puberty at the same time, so I generally follow Paleo guidelines while adding foods that I feel good with. This is the process I want you to follow.”
“1. Long n-3/n-6s are good. We get these from grass-fed meats and wild-caught fish. 2. Ancestral ratios of n-3/n-6 were approximately 1 to 1. Modern ratios are 1 to 10. This is bad. 3. Corn, soy, safflower, and similar vegetable oils are the source of the excessive n-6 fats in our diet.”
“Gall stones are a symptom of a problem, an alarm. Instead of treating the cause (remove grains) we cut out the gall bladder. People who have had gall bladder removal are almost certainly undiagnosed celiacs and likely have a number of other progressive diseases. In my experience, these individuals are plagued with digestive problems, culminating in dysphagia, or difficulty swallowing.”
“You only need to be exposed to things like gluten once every ten to fifteen days to keep the gut damaged. This can bedevil people as they “cut back on gluten” but do not notice an improvement in their overall health. I’m sorry but there is not a pink “participant” ribbon given out for doing this “almost correctly.” You need to be 100 percent compliant for thirty days, then see how you do with reintroduction.”
“Worst-case scenario: You spend a month without some foods you like. Best-case scenario: You discover you are able to live healthier and better than you ever thought possible.”
“....when the government come to help you, run, they are either bringing a firing squad or dietary changes, but the end result is the same.”
