The simple solution to most health and weight concerns is to reduce the inflammation in your bodies.

I have found that the only way to achieve great results is if you follow a sound nutritional program in combination with a  exercise program. No matter how detailed and perfect the exercise program, if the correct nutritional principles are not in place, you will not see the results you want. 

The simple solution to most health and weight concerns is to reduce the inflammation in their bodies.  I have found that most of my clients who are not losing weight is due to inflammation. I would argue that every person who is overweight, obese can be helped if inflammation was decreased with the foods they eat.  A nutrition program should be an easy to follow, healthy, realistic and should aim at decreasing inflammation in the body to help foster dramatic fat loss and increased health.

          

So what is inflammation? It is your immune system’s response to infection or irritation in the body. This is how your internal body systems will respond to infectious and irritating foods.The results of reducing inflammatory foods in nutrition plans provide nothing but extraordinary results.  The difficulty becomes providing an easy to understand nutritional program that one can follow. 

The following approach will make it easy for you to learn exactly which foods you can eat and which foods to avoid. In order to find exactly which foods may be irritating to you,  all possible culprits for 14 days must be eliminated.  Instead of starting with a long list of foods that you can’t eat,  start with a list of all the foods you can eat. (Better to start on a positive note!) For every meal that you eat, you must choose one food from the A column and one from the B column.

• A. Proteins
• Whole Organic Eggs
• Free Range Chicken, Duck, (white and dark meat)
• Free Range Turkey (white and dark meat)
• Grass Fed Beef, Buffalo, Lamb, Venison
• All Wild fish (no canned tuna)
• Raw almonds, walnuts, macadamia nuts, filberts, pecans, pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds
• B. Fruits and Vegetables
• All vegetables (except for Iceberg Lettuce and Corn)
• All fruits (except for dried or canned)
• Can be used at each meal:
• Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil (preferably raw)
• Butter (no margarine or any other fake butter)
• Coconut Oil (Organic, Extra Virgin)
• Unlimited:
• All Spices
• Only Celtic Sea Salt (no other salt is permitted)
• Herbal Teas

Now you have a large variety of foods from which to choose from.  

Here is a list of inflammatory foods (below) so you will know what they need to avoid.

Inflammatory Foods

Dairy - This is where you will say to me, “But I drink skim milk instead of whole.” or “Where will I get my calcium from?” Regardless of the variety of milk you consume, dairy in this country is not in the form nature intended. Because of pasteurization, the high heat kills off all the necessary enzymes in the milk that we need to digest (thus the high prevalence of lactose intolerance and irritable bowl syndrome in this country). You can argue pasteurization is necessary to kill off bacteria, but in reality, the high heat temperatures of pasteurization are actually not high enough to kill off the pathogens most people are worried about. So this practice kills off the good and leaves the bad. You can also be assure you will absorb more calcium from green leafy vegetables than any amount of milk they can consume. When stop digesting the results are phenomenal. 

Sugar and foods containing sugar - Sugar, by far, is one of the most abused drugs in this country (and yes, I did call it a drug). It causes everything from rotting teeth to diabetes to most cancers. Even if your not candy or dessert eaters. Sugar content in most of their foods. If they were to total up the amount of sugar from their daily juices, sodas, processed foods and dressings, it could add up to 20 teaspoons of sugar a day! Any word ending in "-use" on a package usually means sugar (i.e., sucrose, maltose, glucose).

Artificial sweeteners and packaged foods –

If you can’t pronounce it, you are not allowed to eat it. So NO diet foods of any type(Jell-O, Diet Coke, frozen dinners, etc.). At this point, you may be asking yourself, “How can I do this? You can either follow this nutrition plan and feel great, loose  weight or you can stay where you are
