What We Eat

The best part about eat­ing these foods  is that you never have to count calo­ries and you can eat when­ever you are hun­gry. Ani­mals don’t count calo­ries, why should you? Think about it. Click the title above for the list.

What We Don’t Eat

We didn’t drop these foods overnight.  We started with some base knowl­edge, some research, and then trial and error. The improve­ments in our health were quite swift after elim­i­nat­ing only a few of the big ones. We con­tin­ued from there slowly and haven’t looked back since. Okay, maybe we did look back once or twice but it was short lived. Click the title above for the list.

Why We Eat What We Eat

We eat this way because it made sense to us. Every ani­mal on the planet has a diet that its diges­tive sys­tem is adapted to. Giraffes are veg­e­tar­i­ans and eat plants. Lions are car­ni­vores and eat meat, etc. Humans are omni­vores and eat both. We are adapted to eat­ing a great num­ber of things but this doesn’t mean they should be con­sumed on a rou­tine basis.

Rumi­nants such as cows are best adapted for eat­ing grasses and grains. Corn is a grass and one of the most widely used crops in the world. It is in vir­tu­ally every­thing. Humans are not ruminants.

Cows milk is made for baby cows, not humans.

By fol­low­ing this way of eat­ing I un-taxed my immune sys­tem enough to get off an end­less cycle of antibi­otics. I also dropped over 60 lbs. although that was a side effect and not the pri­mary goal. I have never felt bet­ter in my life.

I now eat more than I did when I was 60 lbs heav­ier and my weight remains the same. My fam­ily and I fol­low this lifestyle now as the norm. It is not a diet in the con­ven­tional sense of the word that peo­ple use it.

Exer­cise

With excep­tion to my occa­sional encounter with my chin up bar I have not lifted weights or done car­dio on any rou­tine basis. I men­tion this merely to make a point that you don’t have to exer­cise to lose weight.  I am tired of of the mind­set that peo­ple who are over­weight sim­ply need to exer­cise. It isn’t a lack of activ­ity that causes peo­ple to be obese, it’s the type of food they are eating!!!

Being active is absolutely still a very impor­tant part of  a whole and healthy lifestyle but it is sim­ply not nec­es­sary to lose weight. Don’t be fooled to think otherwise.

Here is why.…

If you exer­cise you eat more. Unless you are eat­ing the right foods this is counter pro­duc­tive to why you are exer­cis­ing in the first place. It is like run­ning up an esca­la­tor the wrong way. Sure, if you try hard enough you will make it but how many peo­ple have this kind of determination?
