I had to post this video on the Paleo diet in a nutshell. My friend Cindy just sent it to me, by email knowing that it would make a great blog post. It does such a good job describing, no "illustrating", the modern day landscape that is making people fat, sick and nearly dead.
But first, as you watch this, keep these 3 myths and untruths in mind that we'll get into in greater detail in future posts:
When most people think of "healthy" foods, they think of vegetables. They are right. Yet in the same thought process most people will squirm with speculation as to whether or not they can eat these nutrient rich foods in a way that they enjoy. That speculation is about to end as fast as you can say Bok Choy!
What's nutrient-rich eating? Just consider a 100 Calorie Pack of Hostess Twinkie Bites. Sure, it only contains 100 calories, 2.5 grams fat, 1 gram saturated fat and 160 milligrams of sodium in three tiny cakes, but what kind of nutritional reward do you get for that 100-calorie investment?
There are "health retreats," and then there's Dr. Fuhrman's Health Getaway! (where I just spent that last 7 days in gastronomic bliss :) Where most health getaways promote eating plans that are hard to follow, lack a scientific foundation, and in the end don't even make sense (try eating like that when you get home!), Dr. Fuhrman's Health Getaway was the exact opposite.
The menus were grounded in the latest research in eating for health, giving us all "hang-your-hat-on-it " confidence that the science behind what we were eating was as correct and as it was delicious.
That was my experience this past week. It was good to spend time having fun, and not worrying about the consequences of what I just ate.
As a guest at Dr. Fuhrman's Health Getaway at Rancho Bernardo Inn Golf Resort & Spa you'll enjoy a memorable resort-style experience with deluxe accommodations, delicious healthy cuisine, championship golf, luxury spa, recreational activities or simple relaxation – while being immersed in Dr. Fuhrman's health-promoting, life-changing program.
Develop your mindset and master the art of making choices. The Golden Rule is the most successful place to start if you want to be psychologically healthy at the same time you start transitioning from nutrient poor to Nutrient Rich!
Nutrient-rich, low-calorie diets actually reprogram fat cells to keep the body thin. Prior animal studies have shown that low-calorie diets rich in valuable nutrients are effective at maintaining proper bodily weight and lengthening life span.
