Trying To Lose Weight & Fat
Without Meds or Surgery?
Losing Weight Is Difficult Because
The System Is Rigged Against You.
We get it. You have tried everything you can think of to lose weight and none of it has worked. Ugh!
It’s not your fault. Authorities will tell you that the Standard American Diet is causing most of your chronic illnesses. They label all other diets as “Fad” diets.
You Simply Cannot Win. They don’t define a good healthy diet other than to say “eat everything in moderation”. And that is the mantra of the Standard American Diet. Ugh!
Stop ... Let us resolve this issue for good. The Standard American Diet leads to an overindulgence of sugars, substances that convert to sugars and carbohydrates. The authorities reluctantly admit that these substances will cause serious medical conditions, illnesses and early deaths. Here is a partial list of illnesses that may result from religiously following the Standard American Diet.
· Obesity
· Diabetes Type 2
· Fatty liver
· Heart Attacks
· Kidney failure
· Strokes
· Alzheimer’s
· Depression
· Fibromyalgia
· High Blood Pressure
· High Blood Sugar
· Insulin Resistance
· Neuropathy
· Psoriasis
· Rheumatoid Arthritis
· Sleep Apnea
· Tiredness
etc.
Let us say you are 50 pounds overweight, pre-diabetic, have high blood pressure and sleep apnea. These are all due to your metabolism going haywire. You really have 3 treatment options.
1. You can take a variety of meds for each of these conditions and suffer the side effects of the meds.
2. When all the meds fail your doctor may suggest a bariatric surgery. The jury is still out on the value of these surgeries. One study shows that these have a mortality rate of up to 40%. Another study shows the participants live 9.3 years longer than their counter parts who did not have the surgery. Your doubts are warranted. More research needs be done to come to a solid conclusion ... or
3. You can Eat Naturally and return your metabolism to its proper functioning. You remedy the entire lot with minimal meds, or with no meds or side effects at all.
Which Sounds Like A Better Solution To You?
The Solution You Seek Is Obvious, If You Look.
What we eat must provide abundant nutrients with minimal poisons and toxicity. Looking at our digestive system we immediately notice people have more similarities with the lion, and wolf and than the cow or rabbit. The lion, and wolf are carnivorous. Like humans they have one stomach. The cow is herbivorous. It has three stomachs. This enables the cow to digest plants multiple times effectively.
Historically man has eaten mostly meat, fish and fowl with some berries, honey, nuts, fruits and seeds (carbohydrates) when in season. It seems our bodies handle these quite well without causing much illness.
Man has evolved slightly different in various parts of the world thus there are slight differences in the amount of carbohydrates people can tolerate. What we know is that all humans can be healthy on a mostly carnivore diet. Meat provides us with the nutrients we need to be healthy. And it is OK to eat small amounts of plants when in season. Problems with diet arise when we eat excess carbohydrates regularly.
The carnivores are different from the herbivores in one other key aspect. Carnivores must hunt for their food. This includes chasing their prey in short spurts and sometimes over long distances. They must hunt or starve. Herbivores only run to keep from getting eaten. Otherwise they are happy to graze lazily.
A natural human diet will consist mostly of meat and occasionally plants when they are in season.
Metabolic Diets Work Really Well!
We use 5 metabolic (elimination) diets and 5 fasting strategies. You start on the Carnivore diet because it produces the fastest results. Most people will end up with a Natural Keto Diet and use the Carnivore diet to handle plateaus. Your food will provide most of your nutrients thus you will need very little supplementation.
Our program is divided into 3 different stages, each one lasting 30 days. In ninety days you will know what foods make your body work right. From then on it's a matter of discovering new foods that are delicious and healthy.
STAGE 1 has a very Strict Menu because the purpose of it is to create new healthy habits and actually produce weight loss. There are 10 simple and delicious meals for you to prepare.
We are retraining your body so that it burns fat and not carbs for energy. Most people easily accomplish this in their first month.
STAGE 2 has a larger Strict Menu. The purpose of this stage is to get you to flip the switch from carb burning to fat burning on a permanent basis. You have several more menu options but it is still a Strict Menu.
You will consistently lose weight unless your body goes into repair mode. In repair mode your body will start fixing things like bleeding gums, swollen feet, acne, pot belly etc. If you have medical issues you will see your doctor.
STAGE 3 is the Testing Stage. At this level you will be testing your favorite foods to see which you can reintroduce into your regular menu.
Almost everyone can tolerate salads, cheese, avocado and broccoli. We test for these and many of your favorite meals.
Let’s say you really enjoy pizza. While regular pizza crust is made with wheat flour (which your body converts to sugar) we can test for almond flour. If your body can handle the almond flour and cheese, you can have a pizza night every week. In this fashion we test all your favorite foods or variations of them.
You end up with a very personalized menu that is delicious and will keep you trim, happy and healthy for the rest of your life.
What Are The Health Benefits
Of A Natural Carnivore/Keto Diet?
1. Weight Loss
The Keto diet has been shown to promote weight loss by inducing ketosis, a metabolic state where the body burns fat for energy instead of carbohydrates. This process can lead to reductions in body mass index (BMI) and overall body weight. (Nature)
2. Improved Blood Sugar Control
For individuals with type 2 diabetes, the keto diet may enhance blood sugar regulation. Studies have indicated reductions in hemoglobin A1c levels—a marker of long-term blood glucose control—and decreased reliance on diabetes medications among those following the diet. (Harvard Health)
3. Enhanced Heart Health
Adhering to a ketogenic diet may positively influence heart health by improving lipid profiles. Research suggests that it can lower triglyceride levels and increase high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, both of which are beneficial for cardiovascular health. (PubMed Central)
4. Neurological Benefits
Originally developed to treat epilepsy, the Keto diet has been effective in reducing seizure frequency, particularly in children with refractory epilepsy. Additionally, emerging research indicates potential benefits in stabilizing brain function, which may aid in managing severe mental illnesses. (Stanford Medicine)
5. Potential Anti-Cancer Effects
Some studies suggest that the ketogenic diet may serve as an adjuvant treatment in cancer therapy by exploiting the Warburg effect, thereby making cancer cells more vulnerable to treatments like chemotherapy and radiation. (PubMed Central)
6. Appetite Control
The high-fat content of the keto diet can promote satiety, potentially aiding in appetite control and reducing overall calorie intake. (PubMed Central)
7. Improved Acne
There is evidence to suggest that the ketogenic diet may lead to improvements in acne, possibly due to lower insulin levels and reduced intake of processed foods and sugars. (Medical News Today)
What Does History Have To Say?
“Although the carnivore diet has only recently become popular, scientists have been interested in this very low-carb way of eating for hundreds of years. There are several accounts of researchers mimicking the traditional meat-based dietary intake of Arctic or nomadic societies as far back as the 1700s.
For example, in 1797, Dr. John Rollo successfully treated patients with type 2 diabetes using a diet that consisted primarily of meat and fat after studying the very low-carbohydrate diet of indigenous people in St. Lucia. After discovering that a very low-carb diet benefited those with diabetes, it became a widely adopted treatment for managing this condition until the discovery of insulin in 1921.” (Health)
We Encourage You To Track Certain Metrics
1. Weight – Once a week, check your weight
2. Waist – Naturally Lean Flat Bellies Are OK.
Healthy men = 40 inches or less,
Healthy women = 30 inches or less
3. Percent Body Fat - this is done according to Department of Defense standards by measuring neck, waist and hips.
4. Blood Pressure – It is generally true that as a population
gets older their blood pressure increases. That’s because people tend to get sicker as they age but Healthy People remain in the healthy range regardless of age.
5. Triglycerides/HDL – This is a ratio of bad fats to good fats.
1 and under is good. 4 is bad, 8 is terrible.
If you have a medical condition your doctors may have other metrics they wish to check regularly to ensure you are doing well.
