If you ever feel like you’re not making a difference just remember that there are practitioners who stick with the USDA Dietary Guidelines because they think it’s rooted in nutrition science and not food marketing 🥸

Just because calories matter doesn’t mean you have to care about them

🥩 Before you go thinking red meat is bad consider that: ✅ Cholesterol is an essential nutrient ✅ Saturated fat is also important ✅ Red meat is a complete protein ✅ Many nutrients are better absorbed when they come from meat ✅ Research saying it causes CVD, cancer, and

I don’t need a clinical trial to prove to you that you’re more likely to be healthy if you completely ignore diet advice from the mainstream media and governing health institutions. The health of our society is proof enough.

Common Sense Alert: How likely is it that man-made ultra processed fake meat and industrial seed oils are better to put in our bodies than meat, eggs, and butter? 🤔 If you’re conflicted on what to think about nutrition, I recommend using a bit of logic and having a bias

There are few absolutes in nutrition because everyone is different. This includes the idea that vegetables/plants are healthy. For individuals dealing with autoimmune or digestive issues, plants may be the cause or are making things worse.

Apparently the Vegan Twin study is becoming a Netflix documentary 🙄 Besides the fact that the results weren’t impressive and mostly due to calorie and sugar restriction, the doctor in charge of the study is funded by Beyond Meat…

If you’re ever feeling like you’re not making a difference just remember that there are scientists out there who have accepted money (not very high amounts either) to manipulate research to show that sugar isn’t bad for kids so that Big Food can more easily get soda, candy, and
