So What Should I Eat?


I'm sure you've heard over the years

❌ "Fat is bad"

✅ "Carbs are good"


Then it was...


✅ "Fat is good"

❌ "Carbs are bad"


So which one is it?

Truthfully, I could make a case for all of the above. 


I could even go one step further and give you a list of research articles and PHD's to support any belief you want.


I know, unhelpful, right.


So let me give you something that I do know...


Confusion creates uncertainty.


And where there is uncertainty, products and services love to capitalize on it.


Kind of like what Coca Cola did back in 2015 when they paid researchers and experts to promote the idea that their sugary drinks were not a health problem. Rather, they got everyone to believe that it was a lack of exercise that was making us all fat and diabetic.

Link to article here.


Here's a quick blurb...

In 2015, the New York Times revealed that Coca-Cola funded a global network of scientists, the Global Energy Balance Network (GEBN), ostensibly to divert attention from the contribution of sugar-sweetened beverages to obesity epidemic, instead blaming inadequate exercise. A year later, a senior official at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention was found to have communicated with a former Coca-Cola executive, strategising how to convince the WHO to collaborate with the food industry to promote the same message.


And they got away with this for years.

And much of this shenanigans is still happening today. 

Influencers are being paid millions of dollars to promote narratives that support all kinds of unhealthy products.

Everything from food to pharmaceuticals.

It's nutso out there!!!


Companies will do everything they can to get you to believe something if it helps their bottom line.


Want to know how to escape this craziness?


It's something I did 20 years ago when I became really frustrated.

And my decision has kept me super healthy and super fit for all those years without having to worry about most of the nonsense you hear on the internet about nutrition.


I OPTED OUT!


How??


I decided to only rely on ONE thing I could trust the most.


Mother Nature.

Mother Nature has never been in it for the money.


  • She's never made a payout to a doctor to spread lies.
  • She's never created a not for profit organization to spew propaganda.
  • She's never paid for advertising that was misleading.


But she HAS kept us humans nourished for millenia.


And all you have to do is place your trust in the REAL FOOD she provides if you want to be rewarded with superior health.


She's got a great track record and needs no marketing team to promote her goods.


What's really funny are all the marketing teams trying to bash her...like she's somehow been doing things all wrong.


Think of these stories we've been told that are anti-mother nature.


  • Meat is bad - Clogs your arteries and destroys the environment.
  • Veggies are bad - Lectins will poison you from the gut
  • Fruit is bad - Too much sugar


It's crazy.


Don't fall for the nonsense. 


Oh yeah...And you don't need to be perfect. 


You can still enjoy some of those delicious processed foods as long as most of your choices come from Mother Nature.
