Are you sick of going from diet to diet?

Are you fed up seeing yourself yo-yoing up and down the scale?

Have you had enough of starving yourself or even depriving yourself of foods you love only to gain all of the the weight back again a couple months later?

Are you tired of busting your butt at the gym, and not being rewarded for all of your hard work?

Or if you’ve had success in losing weight do you still feel miserable? Completely void of energy? Is your skin still a mess? Or even worse, do you feel depressed?

Believe me you’re not alone.

Eat By Design has developed as a model, based on biological reality viewed through a philosophical lens of logic and reason.  However, it is far from the only approach with similar recommendations for what is considered optimal fuel. In fact, many will recognize the foods as very Paleo-esque – meaning based on the food consumed during the Paleolithic Era and popularized by The Paleo Diet.

How is Eat By Design different from The Paleo Diet?

The past fifteen years have been filled with news stories about the “miracle– like” benefits of fish oil, and 2010 saw U.S. sales of the product top $1 Billion! Is this supplement snake oil, or are you truly getting bang for your buck?

Essential fats are required fats we cannot make and therefore must consume from an outside source. One category of these fats found in fish oil – Omega 3 fats – are vital to many of the cellular process that help our body operate and maintain great health.

These fats are predominately found in the foods our food eats. Plants, algae and seaweed are veritable stores of Omega 3s and, when consumed by animals including cows and fish, the plant version is perfectly converted to another form of Omega 3 for our use.
