My wife and I got a gift certificate for $50.00 at a very upscale Steak house in town. Since we don't eat meat any longer we figured there would be something on the menu we could eat. I can't tell you how tough it is forcing yourself to go out for something to eat when you spend 99% of your time eating nutrient dense food.
When we arrived the place was a buzz with diners in the dark lighting of the restaurant. It was like the steak houses of the 50's with dark wood and just plain dark inside. When you entered the foyer that smell of steak was wafting through our nostrils. Now, in the old days I probably would have enjoyed that smell, but now it makes me ill. Anyway, we escorted to our table and began to look at the menu.
At first glance I thought every item had it's own phone number, but that was my mistake because it was the price of the food. $21.00 for a shrimp cocktail! Just for curiosity I looked at the 10oz prime filet and it was $45.00. Thank goodness I don't eat meat. Picking out a couple of appetizers and a salad was all we could handle.
The waiter arrived at the table and then we placed our order. When we were finished telling him what we wanted he stood there like we were about to continue placing our entree order when I told him that is all we are having. Well, if his look didn't cool the place down I'm not sure what did. I think he thought we were kidding, but the truth is that we don't eat like that anymore.
As I gazed around the room at all the tables filled with patrons I noticed one recurring theme, everyone had a big fat steak on their plate. So not only did they eat appetizers and then a huge plate of meat and potatoes, they also had dessert. It wasn't long ago when I was eating like that. When I think back I could just kill myself, but the past is over and I have turned my life around by eating Isagenix food.
Getting back to the waiter. I realized why he was upset and that is because his tip was not going to be as large as it would, had we eaten the way we used to. In his mind he got this couple that came in with a gift certificate and only ate enough to cover the amount. He might have thought we were being cheap. What he didn't know is that we have changed our lifestyle and chose to eat the way we want, which doesn't include food that is polluted.
I left him a 20% tip which was very generous since he didn't do anything, but take our order. I have a feeling that the more I get people to look at the "7 Day Challenge", the more I will affect the economy. Imagine a whole lot of people in this country taking responsibility for their health? That would take a serious toll on the economy, but I wouldn't worry too much about that. The cost of the food in the near future will take care of that! I'm just starting early and preparing myself with better health so my health bills won't be sky high in the future. I know, you think I'm crazy, but am I?

The Super Food Bowl
My wife and I were fortunate enough to get a couple of tickets to the Phoenix Open. We had amazing passes to a members club on the 17th Green. The tent had all the food you could eat with free beverages...if you know what I mean. It was a gorgeous day with the weather so perfect that you had to be crazy not to be outside and soaking up the sun.
So inside the tent, they had a buffet of things like chicken salad, sandwiches, big cookies and honestly I don't know any of the other food that was there because I didn't eat it. As a matter of fact, I don't really know what they all had since I never made it to the line of food. I just saw what people were eating when they would come and sit down at our table. I did make my way to the bar area where all the drinks were free. So a reached down into a huge tub of ice cold water and grabbed one of those.
Being on the "7 Day Challenge" has been the best experience of my life. You know you have made it to the other side when you aren't tempted to eat any food, especially when it's FREE. As I looked around at people eating I just kept thinking of how satisfied I was NOT eating this food. How good I felt that I was in control of making the decision to not eat because I wasn't hungry. How many people would eat in that situation even though they were not hungry? I mean come on, all the food and drink for free?
After the Phoenix Open everyone was rushing to a Super Bowl Party. Now if you have never been to a Super Bowl party you are really missing something special. People usually have more food at these parties than some third world countries. Liquor and chips, hamburgers, hot dogs, chicken, salads, etc. I like to refer to it as the Super Food Bowl. Everyone is having a great time and eating and drinking to their hearts content. The post game show of the Super Food Bowl doesn't look as good as it did before the show started. You might have overindulged a bit too much and are not feeling very good.
I often wonder why we all do this when we are around food. It seems that we have to gorge ourselves when there is a lot of food in front of us. Could it be that our bodies are deficient in nutrients? That is exactly what the issue is. If you went to those parties with the proper nutrients in your body then you wouldn't be as likely to eat the food even if it was there. That is exactly at the point I am at right now. Being on this protocol has given me my control back. I can walk past a buffet line and not be interested in the slightest. So many people tell me that there is no way they could do that. They could if they tried the "7 Day 100% Gluten Free Super Food Challenge".
Then there are those people that don't see the value in sacrificing food for better health. Listen, this is not for everyone because you do have to take responsibility for your own health and sometimes that is a difficult thing for a lot of people. Taking the easy way out has its benefits, but right now I can't think of any especially since I have gone to the other side. Going to Super Food Bowl parties doesn't paralyze me any longer because I'M IN CONTROL!!

My New Grocery Store
When was the last time you were in a grocery store? I ask you that because I can't remember the last time I was in one. Can you believe that? I used to go there all the time and I do remember that when I did go, the cost of food was increasing at a pretty good clip. I would walk out of there with one bag of stuff and the bill was over $30.00. I got home and looked at the bill and said, "What did I buy for $30.00"? Sometimes I didn't buy anything to eat because it was just cleaning supplies. OUCH!
So you know what I do now? I go to my computer and order the best food on the planet and it gets delivered to my door! How's that for modern technology. This is not just any food, but rather the highest quality food that includes all the building blocks your body needs to sustain itself. It is nutrient dense with no EMPTY CALORIES. Oh yeah, and it is Gluten Free with no chemicals. Try finding that in your local grocery store.
Since doing research about the foods that are on the shelves in the store I can't think of a reason to actually go into a store to buy "food". Every isle you walk up and down is a danger zone. The problem is that the government allows this practice to continue. The FDA (see my post Is It FDA Approved) is turning a blind eye to our health. I believe foods should be labeled if they contain GMOs or any harmful chemicals. How about the cans that the food comes in? They should let people know that the lining of the cans are extremely toxic. Don't you deserve to know?
I guess if they did label the food no one would eat food. Well, maybe that is not really true. People seem to just go along and not read the warning labels and go for it anyway. Imagine walking down one of the isles and picking up a package of food, any food, and reading the label and it says, "WARNING, THIS PRODUCT CONTAINS HARMFUL CHEMICALS THAT CAN CAUSE CANCER" or "WARNING, THIS PRODUCT CONTAINS GMOS AND WE ARE NOT SURE WHAT THE EFFECTS WILL BE IN THE FUTURE IF YOU EAT IT". That would be comforting wouldn't it? The crazy thing is that people would still buy it!
There is an alternative to this polluted food supply, but it is not fancy because it doesn't come in the form of a hamburger, fries and a coke. I know it is a difficult concept to overcome, but would you rather eat polluted food or eat something that will nourish your body? I don't know about you, but I'm for nourishing the body. I can only speak from experience, but I'm telling you that not eating real food ,as I know it, has turned my life around. The combination of the Shakes, the Bars, the Snacks, Want More Energy, Isadelights, Greens and Fruits, Ageless Essentials, Cleanse for Life and Product B is undeniably the most efficient way to eat, at this time, on this planet.
I forgot to mention that it also helps your body by helping rid itself of impurities and toxins that have built up over years. Our bodies are too inflammatory and acidic. We must change our diet. That is why I have chosen this course of action and it has been the best decision I have ever made. Let me help you get over your addiction to food with a simple answer...NUTRITION.

7 Day 100% Gluten Free Super Food Challenge
I have just rolled out the "7 Day 100% Gluten Free Super food Challenge". I have a video on this blog (you can't miss it) that explains the challenge, but I'll provide more info here as well.
In Nov. of 2011 my mentor asked me if I wanted to participate in the 7 Day Challenge. I was intrigued, but I still had reservations about not eating "traditional food" for 7 whole days. I really didn't have to be coaxed that much due to my knowledge of what is in our food supply. So I decided to go for it and committed to 7 days of eating nothing but Gluten Free Nutrient Dense Super Food.
Prior to my starting the program I wanted to get something that would hold me accountable. I found the perfect tool and it is a scale from a company called Tanita. I waited a few days for it to arrive and then I was ready. You are probably wondering why this scale is so important. It not only measures your body weight, but your body fat, visceral fat, water weight and medibolic age. This scale has turned out to be my best friend. I started the 7 Day Challenge on a Monday and it only took a couple of days to realize that I was going to be fine. I was actually enjoying it because it was so easy and I ate some type of super food every couple of hours.
Please keep in mind that this food is very dense and packed with nutrients and essential amino acids that your body doesn't produce. There are so many botanicals and minerals that go into this food that it is the most efficient way to eat while still nourishing the body. You don't find many foods in this country that do that. The whey protein in the shakes is the finest you can put in your body. Now I'm sure you have heard that from other people, but if you do your research I believe you will find that what I'm telling you is true.
After 7 days I really felt good so I went another 7 days and then another. I'm now well over 180 days and I feel amazing. I've reduced weight and over 9.1% body fat. I have no cravings for sweets or any food for that matter. During this time I began educating myself on the dangers of our food supply. That is when I was introduced to GMOs. Once you read the information on what a GMO is and the potential effects it has on our future generations, you might not be able to sleep or eat. Please do some research so you can understand that you should consider an alternative food source. I am so blessed that I found this company. Then again, you have to have the desire to change.
I wanted to take responsibility for my health, but I really didn't know how to define that until I tried this protocol. It doesn't matter what people say or think of me because I'm doing what I want to do for creating better health. No other company has put together a more complete system for better health than Isagenix. From the food to the vitamins to Product B, they are thirty years ahead of any competition developing anything that comes close.
The 7 Day Challenge is an amazing opportunity to prove to yourself that you can go one week without food. Once you get to that point you might discover that you also want to take responsibility for your health. Maybe you won't do this protocol 100% from that point on, but goodness if you just did it 50% you would be way ahead of the majority of Americans. I believe we are looking at the future way to feed people, with this protocol. It is efficient, effective and affordable. If you want to live a longer healthier life then practice Calorie Restriction with Gluten free and GMO free food . I can help you if you will leave your info....it's worth a try, don't you agree?

The Biggest Elephant In The Room
Since I started on the 7 Day Challenge and have conquered that challenge, I have moved onto the next challenge. The next challenge was to go longer than 7 days and now it has been over 70 days. I must confess that I am not doing 100%, but instead I'm currently doing 99%. That means that I am eating 1% of "traditional food" and the rest is Isagenix.
If I had a nickel for everyone telling me, "YOU HAVE TO EAT FOOD"! I would be doing pretty well financially, but the reality is that I'm still ALIVE! The food that I'm consuming is meal replacements that are loaded with nutrition. I have more nutrition in one day than most people have in a week or a month. It never ceases to amaze me that as a society we are so conditioned to eating food that we either ignore the dangers of the food we eat or we just don't care.
I can't tell you how many people say to me, "I can't do that", when referring to the "7 Day Challenge". You know what? Their right. The funny thing is that if they said, "I Can do that" , they would also be right. This is a choice that everyone on the planet can make, but very few have the courage to do.
When I do presentations to people about an alternative food supply, their first thought is, "You mean I can't eat real food for a week"?. I believe the reason for that is the lack of belief in themselves or just the lack of belief that food can harm them. It is like there is this gigantic elephant in the room. No one wants to talk about it because that would mean they have to face the truth. If they admit the truth then they would have to stop eating their favorite foods and then what would happen? They would feel deprived and fall right back into the food trap. That is the easy way out. I didn't say this was going to be easy, but well worth it.
Food is such a psychological thing that we can't imagine going without it. That is why I don't care what people think of me when I bring up subjects like: Gluten, GMOs, Chemicals, Exercise, Eating Responsibly and the list goes on. Health care costs is another big no no to talk about. Everyone wants to complain about the cost and the service, but no one wants to hear about a solution that is simple and very cost effective. Each and everyone of us can do something about it. TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR OWN HEALTH AND START EATING BETTER!!!
It is so interesting how people relate to their food. It is almost like a religion and I must admit that when I was in that thought process about food, I too couldn't imagine living without it. Honestly, I don't miss any of it at all now. I am so happy and satisfied by eating 99% Gluten Free Nutrient Dense Super Food that I will never go back. I feel too good to go back! When I walk into a restaurant and look around at the people and what they're eating I almost get ill. I want to go over to them and ask them one question, " Did you know that the food you are eating contains dangerous chemicals"? Either answer they give is very telling. So many people go into justification mode when talking about what they eat, but I do understand that it is a hard concept to get over. Your will for better health must be so important that it will override any temptations that you have about eating polluted food.
I'm on a mission to alert everyone I know about the dangers of the food in our food supply. I am going to speak my mind because I can. I'm not only talking the talk I'm walking the walk. I don't care how big that elephant is in the room, I'm going to dissect it one piece at a time. Let's not be afraid to speak our minds especially when you're trying to help someone get their health back. If one person comes up to you later and says, "Thanks for thinking of me and my health", it is ALL worth it!!

The Gluten Effect
Have you heard about Gluten? It is in just about every food and could potentially wreak havoc on the human body. Thirty percent of Americans are Gluten sensitive, but a lot of people don't know they have the sensitivity to it. Symptoms are often undetected and could be for decades.
So what is Gluten? Gluten is the main protein in wheat which represents eighty-five percent of ALL wheat protein present. I'm sure you have heard people talk about Celiac disease, but this is only one form of Gluten intolerance. Celiac disease specifically damages the digestive tract and is the most well known Gluten related disorder, but by no means is it the most common. There are thousands of people that suffer from non-Celiac Gluten sensitivity.
As I mentioned earlier, the diagnosis of any Gluten sensitivity usually takes on average 11 years from the time the symptoms pop up. Since Celiac disease is the most common it is the first one to be diagnosed, but diagnosing the other Gluten sensitivities takes much longer. There are diagnostic tests to help with the diagnosis, but so often the symptoms are not detected. That makes for a very frustrated person who is looking for answers.
The problem in this country is that our medical community looks to solve every problem with medication. They provide a pill for every ill and until we get our system to dig deeper to find the cause of the problem then we should stop medicating our citizens to mask all challenges we have with our health! Some common symptoms are: fatigue, depression, stress and chronic pain and many many more.
I just wanted to bring this up so you can become more aware of the possibilities that Gluten could bring. If you have some of these symptoms and your doctor can't put his finger on it then please keep this in mind. Try not to let the doctor mask the issue with chemicals. I would try to get to the root cause of the issue and the first thing I would do is to analyze your diet. What are you eating? We can solve so many health issues in this country by changing our diet. I would start there first!!
The Isagenix protocol that I am currently on is 100% Gluten free and provides my body with all the building blocks it needs to create better health. I have not been diagnosed with Gluten sensitivity, but since I know that it can lay dormant for years, why take the risk? I would recommend a great book called, "The Gluten Effect" written by a couple and they are both Dr's, Vikki and Richard Peterson. My goal is to try and educate people on issues like Gluten because I don't want people to go through life miserable when it could be something so simple as your diet. Change your diet and change your world.

I Don't Mean To Scare Anyone!
When I sit down with someone to do a presentation about my new "7 Day 100% Gluten Free Super Food Challenge", I provide a lot of information which I would consider relavant in today's world. After all I'm not there to just sell something because I'm there to be a consultant as well.
Most of the time everything is going well until I get into the subject of our current food supply. Obviously I talk about that because for someone to make an informed decision they must know the facts. I talk about "The Gluten Effect" and the "Genetic Roulette" and I also mention "The Longevity Diet".
I use these three books as a reference guide when talking to someone about nutrition and better health. Most people have no clue as to what is going on in the current food supply. For this post I will keep it brief, but please know that there is so much information on this subject that you could spend the next 5 years just reading about it. The reason I got involved with doing some research was because I decided to take responsibilty for my health.
I know I talk about that a lot in my posts, but the reason I do is because I am so passionate about it. The majority of Americans are not aware of the dangers of these chemicals found in our food and when I try to tell them, they look at me with a deer in the headlights look and go about there business like I didn't say anything. I know it is not a very positive subject, but the fact is that it is very real.My hope is that by educating people about the dangers of the food we eat, they will begin to become aware of their own diet and maybe, just maybe, they will change it.
I always encourage everyone to do their own research on Gluten, GMOs, and the food supply itself. Most food travels 1,500 miles to get to us and by that time the nutrients are all but gone from the food. Not to mention the chemicals that are covering most of the food we eat. Our animals are injected with hormones, steroids, and antibiotics. Our crops are not only sprayed with chemicals, but are injected with bacteria and viruses to prevent organisms from eating the plant. You can't wash off the chemicals because they are in the seed before it grows.
When I explain this in my presentation is when I start getting that look. People just can't imagine the growers doing that to our crops and I can't believe no one is stopping them. It is a very scary situation we find ourselves in, but I would rather know that these dangers exist. How about you?
I finish my presentation with good news. The good news is that we have a solution to this problem by offering an alternative to polluted foods. The solution is to go on our protocol of 100% Gluten Free Super Food!! We have a 7 day Challenge for everyone that is interested in trying it. I believe your body deserves a break from processing food and chemicals. On our protocol of 1,570 calories a day you can eat properly and actually release pounds and whatever else is in there that is causing you some issues.
If you and I ever meet please don't get freaked out about my passion to help everyone become aware of the truth. So many people just don't want to believe what I'm telling them is true. Some people know what I'm saying is true, but they choose to ignore it. I promise I'm not trying to scare you, but help you!!!
