Real food. Real Life. Real Progress.
When you are plant-based this is better than any coffee or energy drink available.
Eat a fruitful breakfast: Grapefruit, 2 apples, 2 Brazil Nuts, handful of Pumpkin seeds, and a banana.
This breakfast will turn you into a “bottled rocket.”
So if you need an extra “kick in the ass” this breakfast has you set.
Whether it’s a morning workout or launching your household off to their their station (work, school, summer camp).
Join the energized and kick start off your plant based diet.
When does it make the most since to start eating animal protein.
My 1st answer would have been never which is only partially correct but…
According to the Valter Longo of “The Longevity Diet” offers you the best health opportunity to become a Centenarian.
When your muscles start to wither due to age-related (60s or 70s) deterioration it may be time to incorporate eggs, chicken or beef back into your diet to increase protein.
This will decrease muscle imbalance as you age.
I still believe a whole food plant based diet is best the Longevity Diet is fairly close so I approve.
Come back for bite sized health tips.
Have you ever eaten a big salad?
You were stuffed but some how not weighed down.
Have you ever eaten steak and potatoes?
While satisfying and fulfilling, you were like anchored to your seat after finishing.
The food you eat should taste good and…
Make you feel good.

Sweating into my headphones 13 minutes late for my call but…
I feel amazing and my workout is done.
3 hours left on my eating window.
It’s not always going to fit into a box but you get it done.
Don’t let obstacles stop your progress.
WFPD.
Vegan.
Vegetarian.
Mediterranean.
Longevity.
Clean eating.
Pescatarian.
Keto.
Low fat.
The diet does not matter.
The reason you eat is to produce energy.
Unused energy is ALWAYS stored.
You should be “shaking, rattling and rolling” at least 6 times a week.
Exercise can be a 30 minute walk, 20 minute game of pickleball, dancing, or wrestling with your kids.
Make it fun so you will keep doing it.
Add challenges like running 10% further every week.
Stick to it and lose the weight.
Your body is good at one thing…
Energy production.
The amount of fat you have on your body is proportionate to the amount of fat you use.
When you provide your body too much energy, it stores it for later use.
You need to exercise daily to help your body create good fat.
What’s good fat?
First let’s define the 3 different types:
Good fats will be brown or beige. You want any fat your body stores to be used and not stored.
Put your fat in the “friend zone” and start your whole food plant based diet today.
What is the healthiest meat?
I wager you said some type of poultry.
Chicken or turkey, right?
And that is the what they want us to believe.
And it is beautifully displayed in its pristine packaging at your local grocery.
But these factory farmed birds are hatched under the warmth of the factory light, raised in a 6×6 inch pen until they reach “broiling” weight.
Then they are electrocuted into total paralysis, hung upside down on the conveyor on a line headed to something out of a Saw movie.
The “throat slitter” slices their throats. Correction the razor sharp blade regularly cuts too deep often hitting the intestines covering the fowl in both blood and poop.
Then they marinate in a pool of their own shit and blood and water so their weight can increase 20% to 30% before they are clean and rinsed.
Yuck!
Lets only slit the throat of broccoli for our diets.
Before there were grocery stores you found your dinner outside.
You were on the hunt and likely being hunted yourself.
When you found an apple tree you didn’t just eat you gorged.
And mother nature in her grand design wanted to store all of that “apple-energy” where it would be the least inconvenient.
The belly.
Why the belly?
You don’t use your belly to climb trees for fruit or to run from bears. It’s the best place to put on extra weight without compromising your ability to stay on the move.
This is why belly fat is hard to lose.
When you lose weight mother nature will remove the fat that is going to make you the most mobile.
You gain from the inside out and lose from the outside in.
Adjust your expectations for where you lose weight and start your whole food plant based journey.
How do you know which animals were sick?
Every package of meat looks the exact same.
It’s bright shiny and on pristine white or yellow cardboard.
Every animal looks the same but this could not be further from the truth.
Up to 106 million tonnes of antibiotics were used to treat farm animals worldwide in 2025.
You think your purchase was the lucky one?!
The collective of what is now the common cold originated from animals.
You know those 24 to 48 hour “bugs” with messy poops. Those likely cames from eating a sick animal that was chopped, plumped, and stuck in a package next to the healthy ones.
Let’s skip meat section and check out the produce section you actually see which ones are good.
Happy Shopping!
Your brain “lights up” like the Vegas strip when you eat sugary foods.
Your brain is attracted to various colors to find sweet edible fruits.
Your brain can’t tell the difference between the colorful pack of Skittles or a bright colorful salad with yellow, orange and red pepper.
You would still be attracted to it.
Nothing smells as good as a ripe orange.
What happens when you smell raw meat?
You have to start trusting your own body.
Make your brain light up with the whole plant based foods which is not only good for you but exciting as well!
