A Nutritious and Satisfying One Food Meal
Once In a while it is good to get away from the "normal" way of eating that we are used too.
I just broke a mini fast with a head of broccoli with butter and Himalayan sea salt. It was incredibly delicious, nutritious and satisfying.
I steamed a large head of broccoli for about 5 minutes.
Added about 5 tablespoons of butter.
And used Himalayan salt generously.
Most main stream medical professionals, as well as your average joe will freak out when you tell them that salt and butter are great for you. But it is true !!
We have been mislead and misinformed by the medical establishment yet again.
Butter is an incredible fat source that is great for brain and skin health. It contains Vitamin A, Vitamin K, Vitamin E, Essential fatty acids, and a good source of cholesterol !!
Yes cholesterol is good stuff !! Every single cell in your body requires it, especially your brain which is made up of about 80% cholesterol !!
I have noticed that many people who are on cholesterol lowering medications start losing their memory as a direct result of them artificially lowering their cholesterol with toxic medications.
Just make sure you do not mistake butter for margarine which is nasty nasty stuff.
Stay away from these blended "alternative" butters that promote them selves as being "smart"
They are usually filled with Genetically modified organisms.
Also be cautious of eating "butter flavored" stuff. This stuff contains nasty nasty chemicals as well.
As for salt.....Your body craves it because you need it !!
Just make sure that you are getting a well balanced salt that contains a wide range of mineralssuch as Himalayan sea salt (which has about 82 trace minerals in it !!) and celtic sea salt.
Stay away from processed salt which commonly has aluminum in it.
You need salt to help you create stomach acid. This helps you better digest food.
* sodium chloride (which is salt) helps you create hydrochloric acid (it gives you the chloride)
So if you want better digestion....Salt your food !! especially when eating a fatty meal :)
That being said....If you want to lose weight....try what I just ate above.
Don't be scared of the cholesterol, salt and fat content....I bet you will eat less after you eat like that.
Ps. forgot to mention that I ended my meal with 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar.
* also make sure you are drinking plenty of water whenever eating a high fiber meal :)

Fatty Liver Disease
1 out of 3 americans are dealing with Fatty Liver disease.
Fatty liver disease means that the liver has accumulated fat.
One of the main reasons fatty liver disease develops is because of the high consumption of refined sugar consumption (especially fructose and high fructose corn syrup)
The liver processes fructose and can be overburdened by a high intake of this.
Fructose is fruit sugar and is in every fruit, fruit juice.
High fructose corn syrup is in every soft drink and many sweetened processed foods.
Stay away from them.
Stay away from even fruit juices even if they are freshly squeezed and organic.
Strengthen your digestive system to be able to process your food better.
Take a good quality probiotic. Choose one that has multiple strains and take them on an empty stomach (when stomach acid is low) A good time to take them is before bed and as soon as you wake up. Take 20 billion units per day.
Take digestive enzymes and 1 tablespoon of organic apple cider vinegar after all of your meals. These will help you break down your food and make it easier to digest and absorb.
Take lecithin in a liquid form. This is extremely important because lecithin will separate fat into smaller particles making it easier for the body to process and lessen the livers work. (look for sunflower lecithin or gmo free soy lecithin)
Get a high quality multivitamin
Take B-complex vitamins
Vitamin E-mixed tocopherols-400 IU/day
Eat less calories.
Try fasting once per week.
Really important nutrients that can protect your liver:
NAC
Milk thistle
Extra virgin coconut oil is a great fat to eat on a daily basis because it is made up of mct oil.
MCT oil does not get processed in the liver and is a quick energy source.
Stay away from insulin spiking carbohydrates like bread, pasta, rice, potatoes, fruit juices, and sodas.
Eat lots of vegetables with every meal.
You will know you are doing well when you start losing weight.
Exercise !!
Try my whey protein shake for breakfast !!
