Modern wheat is a “perfect, chronic poison”

Posted on by

STOP EATING WHEAT!  Yet another article supporting my stance that wheat is one of the root problems leading to poor health.  Please read and share!

(CBS News) Modern wheat is a “perfect, chronic poison,” according to Dr. William Davis, a cardiologist who has published a book all about the world’s most popular grain.

Davis said that the wheat we eat these days isn’t the wheat your grandma had: “It’s an 18-inch tall plant created by genetic research in the ’60s and ’70s,” he said on “CBS This Morning.” “This thing has many new features nobody told you about, such as there’s a new protein in this thing called gliadin. It’s not gluten. I’m not addressing people with gluten sensitivities and celiac disease. I’m talking about everybody else because everybody else is susceptible to the gliadin protein that is an opiate. This thing binds into the opiate receptors in your brain and in most people stimulates appetite, such that we consume 440 more calories per day, 365 days per year.”

Asked if the farming industry could change back to the grain it formerly produced, Davis said it could, but it would not be economically feasible because it yields less per acre. However, Davis said a movement has begun with people turning away from wheat – and dropping substantial weight.

“If three people lost eight pounds, big deal,” he said. “But we’re seeing hundreds of thousands of people losing 30, 80, 150 pounds. Diabetics become no longer diabetic; people with arthritis having dramatic relief. People losing leg swelling, acid reflux, irritable bowel syndrome, depression, and on and on every day.”

To avoid these wheat-oriented products, Davis suggests eating “real food,” such as avocados, olives, olive oil, meats, and vegetables. “(It’s) the stuff that is least likely to have been changed by agribusiness,” he said. “Certainly not grains. When I say grains, of course, over 90 percent of all grains we eat will be wheat, it’s not barley… or flax. It’s going to be wheat.

“It’s really a wheat issue.”

Some health resources, such as the Mayo Clinic, advocate a more balanced diet that does include wheat. But Davis said on “CTM” they’re just offering a poor alternative.

“All that literature says is to replace something bad, white enriched products with something less bad, whole grains, and there’s an apparent health benefit – ‘Let’s eat a whole bunch of less bad things.’ So I take…unfiltered cigarettes and replace with Salem filtered cigarettes, you should smoke the Salems. That’s the logic of nutrition, it’s a deeply flawed logic. What if I take it to the next level, and we say, ‘Let’s eliminate all grains,’ what happens then?

“That’s when you see, not improvements in health, that’s when you see transformations in health.”

The 5 Digit Code that Could Save Your Life

Posted on by

The little sticker on fruits and vegetables is more important than you think.  The number on that sticker will tell you whether it is safe to eat or not.  Knowing these codes just might save your life!

I know I am being a bit dramatic using a life and death scenario when talking about fruits and veggies, but I want you to understand the importance of knowing how your food is grown.  Over your lifespan the cumulative effect of ingesting genetically modified foods and foods covered in pesticides will have an impact on your health.

Know the Codes:

  • Organically Grown:  five digit code starting with the #9
  • Genetically Modified (NOT GOOD for YOU):  five digit code starting with the #8
  • Conventionally Grown (Contains Pesticides – Not Good):  four digits (any four digit #)

 

Health and Happiness,

Jay

The Power of Coconut Oil

Posted on by

Nearly 50 percent of the fat in coconut oil is of a type rarely found in nature called lauric acid, a “miracle” compound because of its unique health promoting properties. Your body converts lauric acid into monolaurin, which has anti-viral, anti-bacterial and anti-protozoa properties.

Coconut oil is also nature’s richest source of medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs), also called medium-chain triglycerides or MCTs. By contrast, most common vegetable or seed oils are comprised of long chain fatty acids (LCFAs), also known as long-chain triglycerides or LCTs.

LCTs are large molecules, so they are difficult for your body to break down and are predominantly stored as fat.

But MCTs, being smaller, are easily digested and immediately burned by your liver for energy — like carbohydrates, but without the insulin spike. MCTs actually boost your metabolism and help your body use fat for energy, as opposed to storing it, so it can actually help you become leaner.

Health Benefits of Coconut Oil Include:

  • Promoting your heart health
  • Promoting weight loss when and if you need it
  • Supporting your immune system health
  • Supporting a healthy metabolism
  • Providing you with an immediate energy source
  • Helping to keep your skin healthy & youthful looking
  • Supporting proper functioning of your thyroid gland

Make sure you are purchasing Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil! The only ingredient it should contain is Coconut Oil, nothing else!

I personally eat 1 to 2 tablespoons per day. (1 tbsp. with my morning meal and 1 tbsp. with my afternoon meal)
Health and Happiness,
Jay

P.S. You can’t out exercise a bad diet!

“Why We Over Eat”

Posted on by

What Happens When Your Brain Can’t Hear Leptin’s Signals …

Leptin is a hormone produced by fat tissue, which relays important messages such as whether you should:

  • Be hungry, eat and make more fat
  • Reproduce and make babies
  • “Hunker down” and work overtime to maintain and repair yourself

Although most think of their brain as being “top of the food chain” in terms of making decisions to keep your body functioning, your brain actually depends on your fat to “speak” to it and tell it how much energy your body has available, and then what to do with it.

Growing evidence shows that leptin may influence areas of your brain that control the intensity of your desire to eat. It has also been found that leptin not only changes brain chemistry, but can also “rewire” the very important areas of your brain that control hunger and metabolism. The way your body stores fat is a carefully regulated process that is controlled, primarily, by leptin. If you gain excess weight, the additional fat produces extra leptin that should alert your brain that your body should stop creating and storing more fat and start burning the accumulated excess.

To do this, signals are sent to your brain to stop being hungry and to stop eating. It is very important that your brain is able to accurately “hear” the messages leptin sends it, as otherwise your brain thinks you’re depleted and will continue to feel hungry, even starving. If your brain does not respond appropriately to leptin, you will likely continue to eat and store more fat.

So why then, if your body has an innate system, honed by eons of trial and error to regulate your fat stores to perfection, is the United States and many other countries facing an obesity epidemic of unprecedented scale?

Because many people have become “leptin resistant.”

Leptin resistance occurs when your body is unable to properly hear leptin’s signals. How does this happen? By overexposure to high levels of the hormone, caused by eating too much sugar.

You may be familiar with this process occurring with the hormone insulin. High blood sugar levels cause repeated surges in insulin and this causes your cells to become “insulin-resistant,” which leads to the production of even higher levels of insulin, eventually leading to type 2 diabetes. It is much the same as being in a room with a strong odor for a period of time. Eventually, you stop being able to smell it, because the signal no longer gets through.

The same process also occurs with leptin. It has been shown that as sugar gets metabolized and stored as triglycerides in fat cells, the fat cells release surges of leptin and those surges result in leptin-resistance, just as it results in insulin-resistance. When you become leptin-resistant, your body can no longer hear the messages telling it to stop eating and burn fat — so it remains hungry and stores more fat.

This will not only contribute to weight gain, but also increase your risk of many chronic illnesses, as leptin plays a significant, if not primary, role in heart disease, obesity, diabetes, osteoporosis, autoimmune diseases, reproductive disorders, and perhaps the rate of aging itself.

 

Too Much Sugar Overstimulates Your Brain’s Pleasure Center, Leading to Addiction

When you eat sugar it triggers the production of your brain’s natural opioids — a key initiator of the addiction process. Your brain essentially becomes addicted to stimulating the release of its own opioids. The intensity of this effect is experienced on the same level as morphine or heroin.

Researchers have speculated that the sweet receptors (two protein receptors located on your tongue), which evolved in ancestral times when the diet was very low in sugar, have not adapted to the seemingly unlimited access to a cheap and omnipresent sugar supply in the modern diet. Therefore, the abnormally high stimulation of these receptors by our sugar-rich diets generates excessive reward signals in your brain, which have the potential to override normal self-control mechanisms, create tolerance and withdrawal symptoms, thus leading to addiction.

According to Dr. Lustig, it is virtually impossible to exert enough cognitive willpower to overcome this 24/7 biochemical drive! He states in The Atlantic:i

“The brain’s pleasure center, called the nucleus accumbens, is essential for our survival as a species… Turn off pleasure, and you turn off the will to live… But long-term stimulation of the pleasure center drives the process of addiction… When you consume any substance of abuse, including sugar, the nucleus accumbens receives a dopamine signal, from which you experience pleasure. And so you consume more. The problem is that with prolonged exposure, the signal attenuates, gets weaker. So you have to consume more to get the same effect — tolerance.

And if you pull back on the substance, you go into withdrawal. Tolerance and withdrawal constitute addiction. And make no mistake, sugar is addictive.”

Tolerance and withdrawal are the hallmarks of addiction – they occur with alcohol, nicotine, cocaine, morphine, cannabis and every drug of abuse … and also with sugar. Like many types of addictions, sugar addiction can in fact be deadly. Evidence is mounting that sugar is a primary contributing factor in obesity and diabetes, but other chronic and lethal diseases.

There’s really no doubt anymore that sugar is indeed toxic to your body, and it’s only a matter of time before it will be commonly accepted as a causative factor in most cancer, in the same way that now we accept without question that smoking and alcohol abuse are direct causes of lung cancer and cirrhosis of the liver, respectively.

The Average American Consumes 12 Teaspoons of Sugar a Day

… This amounts to about two TONS of sugar during a lifetime. While it may offer a fleeting feeling of pleasure when it passes through your lips, the more you eat the more you’ll crave – and ultimately the more you’ll need to eat to get those same pleasurable feelings. This sugar addiction can actually re-wire your brain, not to mention make you very sick …

Of all the molecules capable of inflicting damage in your body, sugar molecules are probably the most damaging.

Fructose, in particular, is an extremely potent pro-inflammatory agent that creates harmful advanced glycation end products (AGEs) and speeds up the aging process. It also promotes the kind of dangerous growth of fat cells around your vital organs (visceral fat) that are the hallmark of diabetes and heart disease. As mentioned, sugar/fructose also increases your insulin and leptin levels and decrease the receptor sensitivity for both of these vital hormones, and these hormonal abnormalities are a major factor in premature aging and age-related chronic degenerative diseases such as heart disease.

Keep in mind that while it’s perfectly normal for your blood sugar levels to rise slightly after every meal,

However, it is not natural or healthy when your blood sugar levels become excessively elevated and stay that way — which is exactly what will happen if you’re eating like the typical American, who consumes on average a staggering 2.5 pounds of sugar a week! And when you add in other low-quality carbohydrate-rich foods such as white bread, sugar, pasta, pastries, cookies, and candy, which also break down to sugar (starch is broken down into glucose) in your body and often contain added sugar as well, it’s not so difficult to see why so many Americans are in such poor health.

Posted on by

Mild halibut pairs nicely with this tangy relish, starring tasty late-summer tomatoes. Any other meaty, firm fish, such as wild salmon or striped bass, will also work.

2 tablespoons thinly sliced fresh basil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped shallots
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon rind
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
2 ounces pitted green olives, coarsely chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
4 (6-ounce) halibut fillets

Preparation: 1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. 2. Brush 1 1/2 teaspoons oil over cut sides of tomato; sprinkle evenly with 1/8 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Place tomato, cut sides down, on grill rack coated with cooking spray. Cover and grill 8 minutes. Cool slightly; peel and chop tomato. Combine tomato, 1/8 teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon pepper, 1 tablespoon oil, basil, and next 6 ingredients (through garlic); toss gently. 3. Brush fillets evenly with 1 tablespoon oil; sprinkle evenly with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Place fillets, flesh side down, on grill rack coated with cooking spray. Grill 5 minutes; turn and grill 3 minutes or until fish flakes when tested with a fork or until desired degree of doneness.

Did P90X, Insanity or The latest Diet in a Box Work for You?

Posted on by

Weight loss requires more than a diet and exercise program. Thousands of people fail on cookie cutter diets every day. To truly achieve lasting weight loss you need a combination of different modalities customized to your needs and goals.

Question: How many of you have purchased P90X, Insanity, Diet in a Box or one of the thousands of at home do it yourself weight loss programs?

Answer: I would bet that over half of the people who read this article will raise their hand when asked this question.

The next question and answer is however the real eye opener!

Question: How many of you that said YES to the first question actually achieved the goals you set for yourself when you purchased the product?

Answer: Based on statistics and my REAL LIFE experience asking people this question, the answer will be: Less than 5% of the people who purchase these “do it yourself programs” actually achieve any results at all, much less the goal they had set.

This is not because these programs don’t work or because they are somehow misleading people with their advertisements. The reason they fail is because there is NO support, NO accountability and the person’s mindset has not changed just by purchasing the DVD set.

This same failure rate occurs with diets and cookie cutter nutrition programs. 99% of the diets and nutrition programs don’t give people the tools they need to make true changes to their lives. Most people are handed a piece of paper with a list of foods to eat and foods to avoid. This isn’t a weight loss program! This is a piece of paper that worthless to someone who truly wants to change their life and lose weight.

The nutrition and fitness components of the weight loss program are important, but they are not the most important features of a successful plan. They are just two piece of a very large and complex puzzle. In order to achieve true success with weight loss you need a combination of 5 modalities: Nutrition, Fitness, Support, Accountability and Mindset. If even one of these pieces is missing your weight loss puzzle cannot be completed.

This is what makes my programs completely different than any other weight loss plan available today! I focus on all 5 modalities and I understand how to customize the program to fit your individual needs. I work with clients all over the country and no client has the same needs! Everyone requires different levels of attention in all 5 areas.

Find a Weight loss Experts in the industry that you can actually speak with one on one! I understand that making a change is scary and that you are going to feel anxiety and fear, which is why I make myself available to all my clients. I am here to support you through your weight loss journey and help you achieve the goals you have set for yourself. Together we can accomplish any goal!

Health and Happiness,
Jay

Dangers of Diet Soda

Posted on by

Individuals who drink diet soft drinks on a daily basis may be at increased risk of suffering vascular events such as stroke, heart attack, and vascular death. This is according to a new study by Hannah Gardener and her colleagues from the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine and at Columbia University Medical Center. However, in contrast, they found that regular soft drink consumption and a more moderate intake of diet soft drinks do not appear to be linked to a higher risk of vascular events. The research¹ appears online in the Journal of General Internal Medicine², published by Springer.

In the current climate of escalating obesity rates, artificially sweetened soft drinks are marketed as healthier alternatives to sugar-sweetened beverages, due to their lack of calories. However, the long-term health consequences of drinking diet soft drinks remain unclear.

Gardener and team examined the relationship between both diet and regular soft drink consumption and risk of stroke, myocardial infarction (or heart attack), and vascular death. Data were analyzed from 2,564 participants in the NIH-funded Northern Manhattan Study, which was designed to determine stroke incidence, risk factors and prognosis in a multi-ethnic urban population. The researchers looked at how often individuals drank soft drinks – diet and regular – and the number of vascular events that occurred over a ten-year period.

They found that those who drank diet soft drinks daily were 43 percent more likely to have suffered a vascular event than those who drank none, after taking into account pre-existing vascular conditions such as metabolic syndrome, diabetes and high blood pressure. Light diet soft drink users, i.e. those who drank between one a month and six a week, and those who chose regular soft drinks were not more likely to suffer vascular events.

Gardener concludes: “Our results suggest a potential association between daily diet soft drink consumption and vascular outcomes. However, the mechanisms by which soft drinks may affect vascular events are unclear. There is a need for further research before any conclusions can be drawn regarding the potential health consequences of diet soft drink consumption.”

12 Minute BODY FAT BLASTING Workout!!

Posted on by

I hear people say all the time “I am too busy to spend hours in the gym”! The beautiful thing is you don’t have to! I designed a 12 minute BODY FAT BLASTING cardio workout that will burn more calories in 12 minutes than most people burn all day!

It only last 12 minutes, but it will kick your butt!!!

· Step onto the elliptical trainer and begin striding
· Set to Quick Start – make no adjustments to the ramp
· Set the resistance at a minimum of 10 – 12. If you weigh over 200lbs., set at 13    
· Increase stride rate to between 150 and 160 – maintain this rate
· At the 3 minute & 45 second mark, increase resistance by 2 – from 10 increase to 12, or from 12 increase to 14
· At the 4 minute mark increase your stride rate to 200 to 230 range, maintain for 30 second, and then drop back to the original rate of 150 to 160 range for 30 seconds
· Repeat on the minute mark for a total of 6 intervals, then cool down by reducing resistance to start setting, decrease stride rate to 140 to 150, and finish at the 12 minute mark.

This is a hands-free, high intensity exercise. The unstable environment created by going hands-free increases in-exercise caloric demand by 30%. Pump your arms as though you were running. Focus on activating your core. Move from the hips, keeping your upper body very stable.

Do this 3 days per week for the 30 days….and you are going to be in the best shape of your life!

Health and Happiness,

Jay

Jay’s Homemade Healthy Protein Bars

Posted on by

I have eaten more protein bars in my lifetime than I could ever count. I use protein bars as a quick and easy way to satisfy my hunger while I am on the go. To my dislike most protein bars on the market are filled with all kinds of ingredients you can’t spell or even pronounce. Now, I can add the word healthy to “quick and easy”.

I started receiving request from my Body Fat Detox clients for the “best” protein bar for them to eat while on the program. As I thought about this request I kept coming back to the same answer, there wasn’t one! This left only one solution. I had to create one that they could make at home that was quick and easy to make and also HEALTHY!

 

Jay’s Homemade Healthy Protein Bars:

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup (or 2 scoops) of Protein Powder – VERY IMPORTANT that your protein powder is Gluten Free, Soy Free and Yeast Free – I use and recommend Elite Whey Protein
  • 1 cup of Organic Gluten Free Brown Rice Crisp (only 1 gram of sugar) recommended brand – Erewhon (I get them at Sprouts or Whole Foods)
  • 1 cup of Quinoa Flakes
  • 1/4 cup of Organic Flax Seeds
  • 2 teaspoons of Cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon of Sea Salt
  • 1/2 cup of Brown Rice Syrup
  • 1 cup of Cashew Butter
  • 2 teaspoons of Vanilla Extract
  • 1/3 cup of Dark Chocolate Chips (melted) – to make them even healthier I use 1/3 cup of Vegan Carob Chips by Sunspire instead of the chocolate
  • 1/4 cup of unsweetened Coconut Flakes (optional)

Directions:

  1. In a large bowl mix: protein powder, brown rice crisp, quinoa flakes, flax seeds, cinnamon and salt.
  2. Place brown rice syrup and cashew butter in a small saucepan and heat over medium heat until warm and easily stirred. Add vanilla extract.
  3. Pour the liquid mixture over the dry ingredients and mix well with a spoon.
  4. Line a pan with wax paper and spread the mixture evenly. Lightly wet your hands and press the mixture into a thin layer.
  5. Melt the chocolate (or carob chips) in the microwave for 30 seconds – stir it – then heat for another 30 seconds. Pour the chocolate over the pressed mixture and spread evenly.
  6. Sprinkle unsweetened coconut flakes over the top of the chocolate.
  7. Place in the freeze for 10 minutes until the chocolate sets.
  8. Cut into small squares and store in the refrigerator

Nutritional Facts:
Servings: 12 to 20 depending on how large you make your squares Calories: 100 to 200 per bar depending on the size Fat: Around 10 grams per bar Protein: Around 10 to 15 grams per bar Carbohydrates: Around 15 to 30 grams per bar

 

I hope you enjoy and love these homemade protein bars as much as I do! They are 100% Body Fat Detox APPROVED. These are a great option for a mid-afternoon snack.

Health and Happiness,

Jay

In the book I teach you how to make all your favorite cocktails with little or no carbohydrates. It currently sells for $14.99, but you will get it FREE with this special offer. My low-carb Margarita recipe alone is worth double the price. The offer ends Monday at midnight!!!
