3 things making you SICK…and keeping you FAT

Hey there kiddos!
As of late, I have been doing much research on food, diet, and nutrition. Little did I know, hormones plays a HUGE role in overall results as well. I am not a scientist, nor a doctor…I am still learning myself. I do suggest, for those of you that actually care, and want supreme results, to pick up ‘The Perfect 10 Diet’ by Michael Aziz, M.D. You will quickly see what I am writing about.
Let’s start by pissing a few people off. Why? Because I am here to spread the truth, no matter who likes it or not. I know these next few items will make some people mad, and confused. But really, they deserve it. People are so quick to look for fast answers that please them, instead of actually doing a little research and testing on their own.
Here are some common items that are sending your hormones into a wrecked frenzy. I am not going to get into a bunch of scientific lingo, just the basics. I don’t know enough to talk that way, and you simply won’t understand it.
1. SPLENDA and or any other sweetener: It seems Splenda has earned the ’safe’ sweetener title…from what I’ve heard from clients. This, or any other sweetener is horrible for you. This stuff sends chemical messages to the brain and will actually leave you hungrier. Instead, try pure 100% Stevia. Or, just cut back on your ’sweet tooth’. Sugar is like a drug, you will need to just cut it back to make any progress. It would be like a crack head switching to a massive dose of vicodins. One may be easier on the body, but neither one is a good idea.
2. Canola Oil: I hear this one all the time too. For starters, If I can find this crap in a huge bottle for $1 at the 99cent store…that sends off an internal alarm. Do some research on this one. You’ll soon find out how it go introduced to the USA, and some of the problems with it. This one here really bothers me. I see tons of people with diabetes problems, older folks, and just a plethora of health issues….but still, continue to use this CRAPOLA oil because doc said so. Even worse, you’ll find cheaper versions of this stuff made with a blend of olive oil, soy, and corn…all mixed u together. This here, creates even more problems for the oil. Once you heat this stuff up past a certain temperature, a new set of problems come about. Knowing how the oils react to heat is very important.
Instead; use organic coconut oil, or real butter.
3. Fat Free Milk: First of all, milk is a completely different issue in itself. That post will be coming soon. As people, we didn’t domesticate cows until about 8,000 years ago. In DNA years, that is not much time at all. Then, the whole entire dairy business was changed forever once pasteurization took place. I personally think milk should be avoided, but we’ve been told we should have 3 servings per day….riiight. Anyhow, fat free must go thru an additional processing ritual to extract the fat…and most of the time, it was replaced with a heaping dose of sugar. So, they take out the saturated fats (which the media falsely blames for all the health problems) and then add in sugar…which of course is much safer than fats. NOT! Just yesterday, I was looking thru some milk and came across a low fat chocolate milk. Low fat, great! And it is chocolate…get it for little Jimmy…he needs calcium for his bones. It also had 56g of sugar. Yes, 56 grams! That is close to 14 teaspoons of sugar in a 12 oz serving. WTF?! Go get a 12 ounce cup, then add 14 teaspoons of sugar….would you give that to your kid? And, I don’t give a shit what some college study said about it being good as a post workout drink. Trust me, your workouts do not replicate those of a college football team. (so stop drinking Gatorade too)
I would also like to point out a couple other things regarding Milk these days:
a) Pasteurization kills about 38% of the calcium right off the bat. Oh, poor Jimmy! Kill the calcium, which is good for the bones…then add sugar, which is horrible for bones- and teeth!
b) Cows are routinely shot up with rBST. Sure you see the labels now, but the law makers are aggressively trying to get those removed. Soon you simply just won’t know. If you think this stuff is completely harmless, go ahead and do some research again.
c) It is disgusting. Especially for all you tree hugging, non animal harming, veggies….do you have ANY IDEA what takes place on these dairy farms? Cows are impregnated strictly for milk production. Theyre hooked up to these crazy machines and milked for hours and hours each day. The old joke about old ladies with titties dragging….is not a joke here, it is common practice. Boobs dragging in cow poop. Nice! Oh, and once they baby plops out, it is tossed into the ‘veal’ pile. Like a 12 yr old boy scout to perverted child molester, people love this YOUNG meat!
d) Good ol’ days. It should be noted that milk was once delivered, with eggs, and cheese, to your front door. This came in a glass bottle and was raw, fresh, healthy milk. It was NOT the pasteurization process that made it ’safer’. The cleaner facilities, and tighter health policies helped with this. Pasteurization simply made it possible to MASS produce milk, and keep it fresher for long periods of time. Before, you needed to finish that half gallon of milk within a couple days or it spoiled. Now, you need to buy 2 gallons to save a buck…and it lasts 2 or 3 weeks in your refrigerator with no issues. It was the equivalent of having your favorite, family run, local, and always fresh, restaurant- being converted into a McDonalds. No more quality, just cheaper product, a turn key operation, and a bottom line to protect. No more hearty wholesome goodness….just love for the dollar.
My suggestion; learn to like REAL RAW MILK…or just avoid the crap all together. I feel it is also important to buy organic eggs, butter, and raw cheese because of these profit mongering factory farms. Oh…and the Soy crap is a load of shit too. More on that later…
Now that I ruined your breakfast….I’ll let you get back to your busy day!
Eat STRONG!

PS: We’re tearing shit up again. Be on the lookout for new WOD contests with active beez in peez times posted and regular updates. Enough of this telling you not to eat chemicals and junk food…it’s time to unleash the BEAST on some killer sessions. It’s time to get nutty again.
PPS: I have tons of info, links, books, and other info available on this subject. Shoot me an email or comment and I will send some of it to you. It takes work to make change…and most people are just ‘interested’ and not committed.
