You are what you eat !! Do you know the dietary and bodily myths that people hold?



When it comes to living best life, the first thing you need to take control over is what you put inside your body. Your food is what gives you the energy to function, so you want your food to be healthy and nutritious, not just delicious.

The standard diet people eat is a terrible diet. At some point, the research behind nutrition got infiltrated by people interested in making a buck at the cost of the health of millions of people: namely cereal manufacturers, fast food sellers, and soft drink peddlers.

Artificial foods are created to give us ridiculous amounts of taste per bite (and triggering the release of dopamine - fast food is intentionally made to be addictive) – and unless you’re in excellent shape, there is no “moderation” when it comes to these terrible processed foods and oils.

What about everything in moderation?

Notice how everyone who preaches fast food in moderation is fat. Moderation is an excuse people use to eat whatever they want, whenever they want it. Don’t get me wrong, if you are fit and muscular, you can eat these foods occasionally (read: rarely).

However, if you are not very fit, moderation is a terrible idea. You need to cut out junk food completely.

A life of processed food, vegetable oils, and refined sugar is the reason why we have people in their late 40s and 50s dying of heart attacks, while their parents who grew up in a time without processed garbage are still alive in their 80s and 90s.

We're going to clean up our diets so that we have enough clean energy to stay alert and focused throughout the day.


The foods listed on the right do not give you efficient energy, they fatten you up, and they clog up your arteries.

It's almost like consuming a slow poison for years until one day it kills you.

Recommended Reading

I recommend reading "Deep Nutrition" by Catherine Shanahan, M.D. to help you gain an excellent insight into nutrition and overall wellness. 

This is one of the best books that I’ve come across on the topic of nutrition. It’s comprehensive and dispels a lot of myths people have about nutrition and their bodies.

It also contains some great information about epigenetics, beauty, and evolution – which I found to be very interesting.


Also, if you are fat, you're in luck, because I also decided to include a free fat loss program in this blog. I couldn’t write this Blog without including this fat loss guide because obesity has become such an epidemic nowadays and most people reading this blog have at least a few kilograms of fat to lose.

 If you would persuade, appeal to interest and not to reason. —Benjamin Franklin I place this tendency first in my discussion because almost everyone thinks he fully recognizes how important incentives and disincentives are in changing cognition and behavior. But this is not often so. For instance, I think I’ve been in the top five percent of my age cohort almost all my adult life in understanding the power of incentives, and yet I’ve always underestimated that power. Never a year passes but I get some surprise that pushes a little further my appreciation of incentive superpower. One of my favorite cases about the power of incentives is the Federal Express case. The integrity of the Federal Express system requires that all packages be shifted rapidly among airplanes in one central airport each night. And the system has no integrity for the customers if the night work shift can’t accomplish its assignment fast. And Federal Express had one hell of a time getting the night shift to do...

Why our millennium has lost its sense of stoicism in life?

 It’s not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters. —Epictetus Stoicism proclaims that freedom and tranquility can be achieved only by being oblivious to material comforts, external fortune, and dedicating oneself to a life guided by the principles of reason and virtue (such is the idea of imperturbability or ataraxia). Assuming a materialistic conception of nature, the Stoics followed Heraclitus in the belief that the first substance is in the fire and in the veneration of the logos, which they identified with the energy, law, reason, and providence found in nature. The reason for men was also considered an integral part of the divine and immortal logos. The Stoic doctrine, which considered each person essential as a member of a universal family, helped break regional, social, and racial barriers, and paved the way for the spread of a universal religion. The Stoic doctrine of natural law, which converts human nature into a norm for evaluating social laws and insti...

How can i develop my capacity for change?

It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is most adaptable to change. —Charles Darwin Within evolutionary theory, evolutionary adaptation is defined as a biological mechanism through which organisms adjust to changes in their environment through morphological, physiological, behavioral and molecular modifications, which make them more suitable for their existence.  In fact, the word indicates this, since the term adaptation comes from the Latin adaptō which means I adjust to. Not all adaptations are completelyvpositive, and for it to be transmitted from generation to generation and persist in the population, reproductive success must be increased. In addition, there are numerous characteristics of the species that have not been developed to better transmit genetic material and that, therefore, are not adaptations, but are pure coincidences. The following definitions are given by the evolutionary biologist ...
