If you’ve attended our Eat By Design Seminar, you know that nutrient density is a BIG DEAL.

After all, that’s the whole purpose of eating right?  To fulfill our requirements for fuel – macronutrients like fat, protein and carbohydrate, and micronutrients like essential vitamins and minerals.  The best way to do that is to focus on consuming foods with the highest nutrient density and the least amount of toxicity.

At different points in my life I have identified as a vegetarian, vegan, pescetarian and even a brief stint as a strict raw-foodist.

I used to eat my weight in fruit and nuts and I can guarantee I’ve eaten more chick peas than all readers combined!

And now I Eat By Design.

What Happened?

Let’s be clear:  Health does NOT come from a bottle.

No matter how compelling the advertising or convincing the stories, there are no magic pills or super potions that magically make you healthy.

In a perfect world, the best source for all your nutrient requirements is from real food.  Whether its macro-nutrients (protein, fat, carbs) or micro-nutrients (vitamins & minerals) you are always going to be better off satisfying those requirements with real food.

But…

Here we go again…more junk science that the popular media sensationalizes to attract more eye balls (regardless of whether its true or not).

“Meat is the New Tobacco” declared The Huffington Post.

“Animal Protein-rich Diets Could be as Harmful to Health as Smoking” said the Guardian.

The Daily Mail chose “Eating Lots of Meat and Cheese in Middle Age is ‘As Deadly as SMOKING‘”.
