At least one-third of the North American population is obese and more than two-thirds overweight.

Conventional wisdom says its because we take in more energy (calories) than we burn. Implying that our unfit, unhealthy body is our fault, because we lack the discipline to walk away from our plates or commit to a calorie burning fitness regimen.

But, the problem isn’t you. It’s this misconception that losing weight is all about eating less and exercising more. That’s why you’ve lost and regained in the past, and that’s why you continue to struggle today.

You’ve likely heard of your friends or family detailing a new diet that they’re trying and it’s working great, only to hear about someone else explaining a completely different diet that is also working great!

How can this be?

How is it possible that completely contradictory diets still seem to work for some people?

Moving from a conventional or SAD (Standard Australian/American) diet is tough.

Believe me, I know.

When I made the change, I went all in and threw out anything with dairy, sugar, grains and alcohol all at the same time. And next came the WORST. CARB FLU. EVER.

However, I knew it would be a good thing, and a few weeks (and 20 pounds of weight lost) later, I felt great and haven’t looked back since.

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.
