I've always lived by Jack Lalanne's motto " If a man's made it, don't eat it", but it wasn't until recently that I started looking into this new age craze called holistic foods. Being your average southern raised red blooded American boy my first thought was "Holistic, sounds like some kind of religious food. No thanks", I never looked into what it was anymore than that. However, I did start researching into less processed foods, and more organic food sources, because it just appealed to me more and I kept hearing this little voice in my head telling me to get back to the source. Needless to say, I found out that holistic just means whole foods basically, minimum processing, no hormones, chemical fertilizers, or antibiotics at all, nothing went into the growing of this food source other than what was intended by nature. I also found out that organic meats, and eggs aren't all that more nutritious than commercialized meats. Even with organic food sources you have to be careful, and make sure the animals were fed their natural diet, and not a grain and corn based diet.
For example Grassfed Beef is naturally leaner in fat, higher in omega 3's and CLA (which is almost non-existent in commercial beef now) doesn't need to growth hormones, or antibiotics, and it just all around so much more nutritious for you. Now a lot of people will say that grassfed beef is ridiculously priced, but that's just dependent on where you buy it from and how you buy it, http://www.grasslandbeef.com has everything you could think of, and is pretty decently priced. Anyways, I'm getting sidetracked, back to the topic at hand...
In my educational journey I stumbled upon something called the Mountain Dog Diet, and a man named John Meadows, after spending a few days researching and reading over his website http://www.mountaindogdiet.com it started making sense to me, I started thinking what have we been doing to our bodies with this current American diet. I mean when a 9 year hits puberty, and is catching the attention of teenagers there is something very wrong here. What these commercial farmers are injecting this cattle with is being ingested by us, and our youth, not only that but it's wiping out all nutritional content from our foods in general. That's not just meats, dairy, and eggs, its in our fruits, vegetables, and grains as well. I myself have had enough, it might be a little more expensive but what goes in my body should be at the top of the list of priorities, not the bottom.
I'm gonna give this diet a try within the next month of so, and I'm going to run it for 6 months. I'll be recording my results with it, and after the 6 month period I'll go from there. If you're interested, then research it don't just take my word for it find out for yourself.
Remember: Question everything, believe nothing. Otherwise their lies will be your truths
