Paleo Diet

Posted on by

I think this is what I’m migrating toward.

http://www.paleodietsolution.com/book.html

But after nosing around the internet and finding a food chart, maybe not yet. There is much conflicting advice on what to eat and I think most of it comes from the varying types of sources. If it is all natural and organic and GMO-free I think I have many options.

I’m thinking Paleo filters out a lot that could easily not be natural/organic/GMO free.

But P90X3, Paleo and Dr. Joel Furhman all seem to have great plans but they conflict. Furhman loves Beans for example.

Food Babe

Posted on by

My Mom actually called me to tell me about the Food Babe. She doesn’t use the Internet much so I had to track this down. It looks like she is doing some good work so I’ll give her a plug and some encouragement. Rock on, Food Babe!

http://foodbabe.com/

Here is a bit from her site:

Vani Hari ‘s Professional Bio:

Vani Hari started FoodBabe.com in April 2011 to spread information about what is really in the American food supply. She teaches people how to make the right purchasing decisions at the grocery store, how to live an organic lifestyle, and how to travel healthfully around the world. The success in her writing and investigative work can be seen in the way food companies react to her uncanny ability to find and expose the truth.

2nd Attempt: Joe Cross’ 3-Day Weekend Juice Cleanse

Posted on by

I’m on the 2nd juice of Day 2 of my 2nd attempt at Joe Cross’ 3Day Juice Cleanse as featured on Dr. Oz.

http://www.doctoroz.com/videos/joe-cross-3-day-weekend-juice-cleanse

My last attempt aborted on the night of day 1.

This time I need to go out of my way to thank my wife, who went to the store and bought the ingredients while I was working and then bagged all 5 juices for day 1. That was probably 75% of the work right there. Thanks, Honey!

I will say that I HATE Ginger. It stings everything it touches…

I don’t really Like any of these nasty Grass juices but I lost just over 2lbs from Day one and that is important. I need to loose a lot more weight and detox and reset my palate… so I hope to make it through Day 3 this time.

As a compromise, I have not been able to drink all of the juices each time. I have drank at least 75-80% of them though. I thought that, like P90x, it would be better to do it poorly than not at all. So 2 of the juices I didn’t finish yesterday.

For example the Pre-Dinner Juice made over 32 oz last night. I had to split it into 20oz and 10oz. I didn’t measure them. I guessed.

The next time I do this I will try to measure. Maybe tomorrow. Maybe even later today.

Kohl’s is pretty awesome!

I posted this on Facebook and wanted to put it on my own site so here it is with some edits:

Kohl’s is pretty awesome! My wife said I should check there for a juicer to start my juicefast this weekend so we went back to get the Jack Lalanne Power Juicer Express (http://www.powerjuicer.com/) which I think we bought in Dec 2011 but were talked into not juicing.

So now I still need to loose some weight and saw Joe Cross from

http://www.fatsickandnearlydead.com/
on Dr. Oz http://www.doctoroz.com/videos/joe-cross-3-day-weekend-juice-cleanse
the other day with Dr. Joel Furhman http://www.drfuhrman.com/
and I wanted to try his 3 day cleanse over my 4 day weekend. Well, I’m behind schedule already

BUT

Kohl’s had only the floor model of the juicer left. It was $129 on sale for $99. They gave us 30% if we wanted the floor model. We can return it if we like in case any parts are missing.

There is more cool stuff to that story but the short version (too late!) is that my wife had a $10 off coupon and a 15% off coupon so the juicer cost me just under $46.00!

I’ve already downloaded the manual. So I think I’m only missing the box. The unit looks complete.

I had to share this story.

Joe Cross’ 3-Day Weekend Juice Cleanse

1

I’m into the middle of what should be Day One of this but I wanted to start the blog.

I posted last year that I bought a Juicer and a Dietician convinced me to return it unused. Well, I am more eager to follow Joe Cross and Dr. Furhman and drop some weight by any means necessary before I have a health issue. I don’t have any health issues today to my knowledge. 18 months ago my physical exam came back clean.

So I bought Jack Lalanne’s Power Juicer Express http://www.powerjuicer.com/ last night from Kohl’s which will be a post of it’s own next and here we go.

This weekend I may only get rolling on how to do this. Next weekend I may follow Joe Cross’ 3-Day Weekend Juice Cleanse (http://www.doctoroz.com/videos/joe-cross-3-day-weekend-juice-cleanse) properly.

Fat Chance: Beating the Odds Against Sugar, Processed Food, Obesity, and Disease

 Fat Chance: Beating the Odds Against Sugar, Processed Food, Obesity, and Disease [Hardcover]

I heard part of an interview with the author Robert H. Lustig today on NPR’s Science Friday.

It sounded consistent with the previously recommended movie Fathead I learned about from Darren Doyle.

It discussed Calories not being Calories, weight gain being related to Insulin, High Fructose Corn Syrup and the six types of sugars, obesity related to fitness, exercise related to weight loss, how fiber works and why juicing destroys the value of fiber.

He also pointed out that Exercise is the best medicine for just about any issue you have although not exactly as you may think.

Fascinating from what I heard. I didn’t hear it all either from the beginning or to the end however.  I look forward to investigating this further. Comments are welcome.
