Back Pain

The initial surgery was SUPPOSED to be a relatively risk-free procedure…

But there were complications…

Blood wasn’t draining properly and was pooling, resulting in a hematoma…

In the middle of the night my parents and sister Fran drove me an hour from Hamilton to Toronto Sick Kids hospital for an emergency procedure.

I remember three things from this night:

   1. The green Nike baseball cap I was wearing...
   2. Throwing up while in the waiting room because of the pain…
   3. And the worried look on my parent's and sister's faces when we were waiting in the hospital.

Maybe you've seen this look on faces of your family or friends when you've thrown your back...

The treatment was a success, and I was treated to days of recovery (and weird hallucinations while on morphine) in the hospital…

Unfortunately, the second surgery was more invasive than the first, as the doctors had to cut through fascia and muscle to get to the root of the problem.

Needless to say, I was left with a few biomechanical problems that made back pain a regular occurrence – despite the fact that I got back in great shape, worked out regularly and I was doing everything 'right'...
Conventional Treatments Never Worked For Me, Either

When I first started having back pain, I visited my doctor.

3 minutes later, I walked out with a prescription for painkillers.




Sound familiar?

Luckily, even in high school, I understood that painkillers didn't do anything for the problem, they only addressed the symptoms, so I chose to put up with the pain instead of pop the pills.

I kept up with sports and started lifting weights and my condition improved, but I still had pain that I felt I shouldn't have and it made me miss out on the thing I'd loved the most - sports.
I Was Frustrated, Embarassed and Still in Pain

So I kept searching and decided to visit a chiropractor.

After the first visit, I left in more pain than I went in with, so I never went back.

Knowing what I know now, it was a good call.

I'm sure there are many good chiros out there, but this guy definitely wasn't one of them.

If you've tried chiropractic, hopefully your experiences were positve.

Then, I tried massage...

Massage felt good, well, actually, massage hurt like heck...

But I did feel looser afterwards.

I Was Never Content With Simply Improving My Back Pain

So the search continued...

back pain booksAfter attaining my Kinesiology degree, I saw this guy named Paul Chek, widely regarded as one of the top corrective exercise specialists in the world, speak at a fitness conference...

His presentation blew me away, so much so that over the next 2 years I spent another $10,000 + to learn from him...

One thing I'd learned was that investing money in my education was never a bad idea...

I gained even more practical knowledge that reduced the frequency of my pain even more, but I still had to deal with the frustration of having to deal with pain, stiffness and spasms from time to time.

I was quite happy with where my back was and it wasn't until I started training high-level mixed martial arts fighters that I stumbled upon the final piece of the puzzle that has led to the last 4+ years of my life to be 100% pain-free.

So after tens of thousands of dollars, over 10 years of study,
training and observation, here's what I discovered...
There's 1 Cause For Most Cases of Back Pain

And that cause is REPETITIVE STRESS...

Your back doesn't go because of a simple action like bending over to tie your shoes or play with your kids.

It's an accumulation of stress from multiple different causes - a simple thing like bending over was just the straw that broke the donkey's back, so to speak...

The key is to address all of the causes of stress on your spine and in doing so, you'll finally be free from back pain...

Even if your back pain started from a major accident, fall, or stupid move (we've all done it at some point), to get back to 100%, you need to make sure there's no excessive stresses going through your spine.

Unfortunately, with the spine - it's not as simple as carpal tunnel in that you just take a break from typing since you use your back for everything that you do!

So let's use a car analogy to see the different ways that repetitive stress causes back pain and what we need to do to address these issues to eliminate our pain...

Your spine is like the tires on your car and how fast they wear is directly related to the amount of stress put through them...

Mind-Body Coach System

For the last fifteen years, my company Rmax and I have brought you the most advanced and powerful fitness and martial arts products in the world.  And we’re about to take the company…and you…to a whole new level.

This is something I’ve been working on for twenty years.  Heck, thirty-five years, really, and you’ll understand what I mean by the time I’m done.  It is the secret to full body-mind integration, what every martial art promises, but has rarely been delivered…not because people weren’t trying.  Not because the truth wasn’t there.  But because there was a gap between the cultural  context that spawned the arts, and the American teachers expressing them.  Languages don’t translate precisely, and so much was lost, even with the best of intentions.

But these disciplines have been traveling around the world long enough that we’ve developed home-grown masters, who have experienced in their bodies and lives the results we’ve been promised.  And these know how to communicate these truths to us, here, for the 21st Century.  And I am proud to be able to offer you, frankly, what you’ve always been looking for: the way to own your own heart, mind and body.   The "Human Owner's Manual" you should have been handed in kindergarten.  A simple practice that will give you back more bang for your buck than anything you’ve ever tried.  Not just fitness—but diving into the meaning of the word “fitness”: to be fit for the life you have chosen.  Not just energy, but the knowledge of how to focus and channel that energy to accomplish the goals you select.  Not just strength of body, but strength of heart: to master the fear and anxiety and stress that cripple us all, from the couch potato to the elite athlete, from the housewife to the Special Forces soldier.  We’re moving to the next level now, pulling it all together, and I’m delighted to have you along for the ride.




I think that my entire life has been about perfecting what I’m about to show you.  I first saw signs of it in my childhood, and spent my whole life chasing down the truth.  I was willing to travel half way around the world to spend a single hour with a teacher who could help me.  And what I found was so amazing that I knew that unless I could prove it, in every arena of my life, no one would believe it.  Even I wouldn’t believe it, and knew that I’d have no right to ask you to, unless you saw the results.   And I searched for the perfect test, the thing I could do that would prove to my satisfaction that the thing I had discovered as a child, and that the world had tried to beat out of me, was the truth.
When I was invited to fight at the World Martial Arts games in Las Vegas, I knew I’d found the challenge.  No, it wasn’t a life and death confrontation—which would have been ideal, but Jodie put her foot down--but I was still putting my body, my reputation, and my family’s financial future on the line.

 So here we go:  For the first time I’m sharing the truth about how I went from being financially destitute to set for life.  From being alone to finding and winning my soulmate. And from being retired from athletic competition due to physical and mental trauma, and coming back from Las Vegas with four gold medals, a silver and a bronze.

And more importantly, I’m going to show you how you can have the same massive victory in YOUR life, once you begin to apply the secrets in TACFIT Warrior.

When  I was a kid I seemed to be surrounded by insurmountable obstacles in all directions, getting the snot beaten out of me, told by teachers and doctors alike that I’d never amount to anything, that I should be on a vocational track because academics were beyond me, that let alone being an athlete, I’d be lucky to just to function physically, due to the number of physical and emotional problems I suffered.

But I had dreams, as all kids did.  And I noticed that if I held tightly enough to those dreams—those VISUALIZATIONS, that accomplishing things became easier.  Now, this isn’t some kind of spiritual mumbo-jumbo.  This is part—PART  of what has become well understood sports psychology, Silva Mind Control and so forth, the programming of the mind through sensory representations of the desired end state.

But that was just the beginning.  What I found was that if I held   visual images during states of high energy, I bonded the high-energy state to the   outcome, and that from then on, if I thought about the goal, I got a little “Pop”, a little boost of energy that made it easier to accomplish things.

Later on I read every self-improvement goal setting classic I could find, Think and Grow Rich, the Power of Positive Thinking, Psycho-Cybernetics, Unlimited Power…everything, and they all had pieces of the puzzle, great foundations, but I needed more. As I dug into the neurophysiology of high performance, the scientist part of my brain needed to have something to hang onto.  Needed to be able to believe.

The New Banana Diet

“I Felt So Fat And I Had
Absolutely NO Willpower To Diet or Exercise!”


It's true, as painful as that is to admit. It was totally depressing. I didn't think I was ever going to be thin again.

Then a Japanese friend of mine introduced me to a diet that was taking her country by storm, making people lose all their extra weight without even having to exercise. Better yet, she told me I would hardly even have to change my normal eating habits.

What was this diet and why hadn't I ever heard of it?

Well, I hadn't heard of it because it was developed in Japan. And it was so effective there that virtually everyone in Japan that wanted to lose weight was on it. The entire country was running out of bananas!



“Lost 37 Pounds of Fat... Without Exercising”

The Banana Diet was actually created by a top-notch pharmacist in Japan who wanted to help her 31 year old fiance lose 37 lbs of fat.

Being from the West, at first I thought "This can't possibly work!", but then I started doing a little research and I found out just how amazing a banana is!   Here are just a couple of banana facts:

    * Bananas contain a large amount of an insoluble carbohydrates called “resistant starch.” Resistant starch, taken in the right way at the right time, has been credited with initiating fat burning and melting away excess body fat


    * Bananas contain enzymes that, when taken at specific times, will speed up
      digestion and ramp up your metabolism to levels you won't believe





    * Bananas can reduce blood pressure, give you healthy skin and hair, and are naturally heart healthy


    * Bananas are one of the only fruits that you can take with an ulcer. They actually can soothe your stomach and reduce heartburn.


    * While the calorie content in bananas is only 95, they contain just 0.5g fat and provide a huge wealth of additional benefits


The more I read, the more interested I was.

I decided that there really may be something to this diet, so I went back to the source. I learned that Sumiko's fiance, Hitoshi, had spent a small fortune on different diet programs (starting to sound familiar?) and had tried a truckload of different exercise and weight loss systems. But, just like so many of us, he just couldn't drop any weight - no matter what he did.



Out Of Desperation Came The Answer

It was one of those events that everything has to come together or it just won't happen.

You see, when this cutting edge, professional pharmacist saw the difficulty her fiance was having with losing weight, she devoted herself to creating a plan that would let him lose weight without having to put out any extra effort.

Sumiko was able to combine her extensive knowledge of modern medicine with her expertise in ancient traditional Chinese herbal medicine and create a diet that had her fiance's weight melting off in just a matter of days.

For the first time in years, he was able to actually lose weight.  A lot of weight!

In fact, he lost a whopping 37 pounds of fat and, because of the startling new methods Simiko designed into this diet, he lost that much fat without having to ever hit the gym even once!

Even better yet , he hardly changed his normal eating habits at all, and he still lost 37 lbs of fat.

Sound interesting? It should. When Sumiko's fiance told others about this diet on one of Japan's social sites, this remarkable diet began sweeping across the country, and is just now hitting the rest of the world.

This little diet developed over in Japan has become so popular that Time magazine devoted space to it's amazing qualities in its October 2008 issue.

Raw Food Diet for Weight Loss

You’re about to discover a raw food diet that can work for you. With nothing more than a simple shift in the way you’re eating and living, you can start to enjoy your healthiest and most energetic life ever!

Which means that you’ll never again have to worry about spending hours in the kitchen preparing tasteless “healthy” meals. Never again will you have to worry about having 2 wardrobes to accommodate your weight fluctuations. Never again will a lack of energy hold you back from what you really want out of life!

What that really means to you is that you’ll finally live life on your terms! You will enjoy the incredible health and beautiful body that you know you deserve! No longer will you struggle to fit into your clothes OR have trouble getting out of bed in the morning OR look and feel older than worn leather!

And the reason I say that is because the simple raw food diet that you’re about to uncover on this page has given the life back to thousands of people (myself included) just like you by empowering them to eat healthier (with less effort), overcome years of bad dietary habits, and skyrocketing them to envious levels of energy, beauty, and radiant health. Unfortunately, you'll never hear this information from your doctor, dietitian, or other even other "diet experts" - after all, you being sick and unhealthy keeps them in business!
From a Very Young Age...

I have been fascinated by human performance and pushing my body to the limits. My dream was to play professional soccer (a dream that I eventually realized) but during the process of training, playing, working out, and going to school, my health took a turn for the worse.

When I was in my last year of high school, I lost all of my hair to an auto-immune condition called Alopecia. As you can imagine, it was a pretty tough time but I think I did a good job putting things into perspective. After all, there were people all around the world suffering much worse.

Nonetheless, I went to doctor after doctor and saw all the specialists. They all told me the same thing. That they didn’t know what caused Alopecia and that they could inject me some cortisone to supposedly help. I declined.






Fast-Forward a Few Years

After having graduated from university, I was now playing professional soccer in France. I was training twice a day and playing 1-2 games per week. My body was breaking down and I was constantly tired. I remember having to take naps every afternoon. That’s certainly no way to live!

To boot, my bad childhood asthma and eczema had made a dramatic comeback and I didn’t know why. Was I falling apart? I lay upright in bed some nights because even my steroid puffer couldn’t help me breathe easier. And, I couldn’t stop itching my hands since they were covered in eczema. I felt terrible.

When I look back on those days I can tell exactly what went wrong. You see, all of this stemmed from my childhood where I was fed foods that my body was heavily allergic to. Over time, and as I continued to eat these foods, my body hit its “allergic load”. My immune system went hay-wire and started attacking my own body – hence my alopecia.

My asthma and eczema flare-ups were also food-induced. Because the “dead” foods I was eating were literally toxic to my body, they produced inflammation, manifested as a tightening of my airways and skin breakouts.



But Yuri, What Does This Have to Do With Me?

I tell you this story because it has everything to do with you. Although I never struggled with excessive weight, it seems as though my expertise lies in that arena. I’ve personally helped over 15,092 people lose weight while dramatically improving their health! The thing to remember is that whether we’re talking about losing weight, asthma, skin problems, a lack of energy, or auto-immune disorders, the cause is the same!

Ultimate Beach Body Weight Loss Program

We don't need to give half truths or false scarcity or any misguided information, to try to trick you into purchasing another weight loss program that doesn't work or something that you really don't need.

If you are like most people trying to lose weight, you are so frustrated with all of the misguided information and weight loss disappointments that you have had in the past and you are looking for a program that truly works and does what it says it will do.

Before we go any further, let us tell you what this is:


This is a program and a service like no other that has been proven by thousands of people before you who have quickly and easily lost up to 20 lbs in 30 days without crazy dieting and without spending countless hours in the gym working out.





According to the latest statistics from the World Health Organization obesity has reached epidemic proportions globally, with more than 1 billion adults overweight - yes you read that right - over 1 Billion!

In the United States alone nearly 2/3 of all Americans are overweight or obese, less than 1/3 of all adults age 20 and older are at a healthy weight.

In the United States, obesity is associated with over 112,000 excess deaths due to cardiovascular disease, over 15,000 excess deaths due to cancer, and over 35,000 excess deaths due to non-cancer, non-cardiovascular disease causes per year in the U.S. population, relative to healthy-weight individuals.

Globally, overweight and obesity lead to adverse metabolic effects on blood pressure, cholesterol, triglycerides and insulin resistance. The non-fatal, but debilitating health problems associated with obesity include respiratory difficulties, chronic musculoskeletal problems, skin problems and infertility.

The likelihood of developing Type 2 diabetes and hypertension rises steeply with increasing body fatness. Confined to older adults for most of the 20th century, this disease now affects obese children even before puberty. Approximately 85% of people with diabetes are type 2, and of these, 90% are obese or overweight.

An increased BMI also increases the risks of cancer of the breast, colon, prostate, endometroium, kidney and gallbladder.  Overweight and obesity contribute significantly to osteoarthritis, a major cause of disability in adults.

According to the National Institutes of Health, overweight and obesity result from energy imbalance - whether it be from eating too much or exercising too little. Genetic, environmental, behavioral, and socioeconomic factors can all lead to overweight and obesity. 

Only 31 percent of U.S. adults report that they engage in regular leisure-time physical activity (defined as either three sessions per week of vigorous physical activity lasting 20 minutes or more, or five sessions per week of light-to-moderate physical activity lasting 30 minutes or more).

Research suggests that physical activity may reduce the risk of many adverse health conditions, such as coronary heart disease, stroke, some cancers, type 2 diabetes, osteoporosis, and depression. In addition, physical activity can help reduce risk factors for conditions such as high blood pressure and blood cholesterol.

Our tested and proven Fat Loss Training Program has helped thousands of people all over the world improve their health, increase their fitness, and not only lose weight - but most importantly keep that weight off for the rest of their lives.

new weight loss program

Get out of the diet habit and avoid weight rebound

A new fad, a new idea, a new diet, the outcome will always be the same. Low calorie diets will help you to lose weight, but calorie restriction is difficult to get right, and the weight will return as sure as night follows day. You will become a victim of 'weight rebound' and join the ranks of those whose lives are made miserable by dieting.

Low carb diets, Atkins or any other, will have a similar effect to a low calorie diet. By restricting your carbohydrate intake you are compromising your natural functions and creating a huge distortion which your body finds difficult to deal with. It makes you feel weak and miserable. Living a normal life on a low carb diet is almost impossible.

If one diet doesn't work, why not try another? Don't be tempted because the result is almost certainly going to be the same. Membership of the 'serial dieter's club' is something you have to avoid.

Always remember that serial dieting is bad for you, both physically and mentally. The irritability and mood swings you suffer can make life very difficult and in extreme cases can have a very damaging effect on your relationships.

You deserve better!

There is no need for you to be overweight. Why should you have to live a life plagued by endless diets? It doesn't have to be this way! Imagine what it would be like to be slim and healthy. It's a great thought, isn't it?

Today you can take the first steps towards transforming yourself into a slim 'new you' – and staying that way. It's time to release that slim, happy, healthy, more confident you. With the Slim Habit you can make it happen!

Why don't you look upon today as the start of your new, slim life?
Time to do things a different way...
Time to make change, learn new habits...
and discover the secret of permanent weight loss

Why learn new habits? Because learning new habits is the simplest and most effective way of making lasting change.

 Make change by learning new eating habits
 Make change by learning new lifestyle habits
 Make change by learning new habits that put you in control of your weight
 Make change by learning new Slim Habits that keep you slim forever

"There can be no lasting weight loss without change. If you don't change your eating and lifestyle habits you will never lose weight permanently, no matter how many diets you go on."

7 Day Belly Blast Diet

Who Would Have Thought That
Eating MORE Would Flatten Your Belly?!

Dear Friend,

If you haven’t been able to KILL your belly bulge no matter what you’ve tried …

And if you’re sick and tired of exercising like mad and starving yourself only to see the scale stop dead in its tracks, or even spin in the WRONG direction…

Then the PROVEN, belly-flattening breakthrough you’re about to discover will be music to your ears.

In fact, on this very page, I’m going to reveal the 3 things KEEPING you from a flat belly, and then I’m going to unveil my 3 BEST sneaky tricks to KILL up to 11 pounds of unattractive belly fat, excess water, and “toxic waste” from your body in just 7 short days…

And then you’ll continue to experience record weight loss until you have a flat belly fast… guaranteed. 

WARNING: The high-speed weight loss information you’re about to discover is NOT for people who have a few vanity pounds to lose.  It’s not for muscle-head “gym rats” with 4% body fat who already live on tuna and brown rice.  And it’s certainly not for a “skinny chick” who love step aerobics and enjoys eating like a bird. 




NOPE!

This information is for the busy folks (like me) who LOVE TO EAT but struggle to find the energy, willpower, and extra time in their day to achieve REAL and LASTING weight loss RESULTS.
The 3 Things KEEPING You From a Flat Belly

Doctors agree that internal belly fat is the most deadly kind of body fat there is.  Studies show it dramatically increases the chance of illness such as heart disease, diabetes, certain cancers, Alzheimer’s, stroke, and even depression (suicide).

And if that wasn’t bad enough, that dreaded belly bulge makes us look unattractive and it can demolish our self-esteem and confidence to boot.

But, what makes this situation even more frustrating is the fact that belly fat is considered by many to be the most stubborn and impossible weight to penetrate and burn. It’s like the “Fort Knox” of body fat.  Here’s why:

PROBLEM #1: Your Hormones Are Out of Whack: Chronic stress causes your body to release a fat-storing hormone called cortisol.  The more cortisol your body releases, the more belly fat you store.  Plus, eating the wrong foods causes the fat-storing hormone insulin to skyrocket, while a fat-burning hormone called glucagon gets turned off. (Hello, belly fat!)

PROBLEM #2: Your Belly-Burning Furnace Is Busted: When you want to lose a lot of weight, you should cut calories for long periods of time, right?

WRONG.

Cutting calories magnifies nutrient deficiencies in your body. This results in severe cravings as your brain sends emergency “low nutrient signals” to your stomach to eat more food. 

Problem is, most people end up eating more “nutrient-dead food” which causes cravings to completely spiral out of control. (If you feel hungry all the time, now you know why.)

After about a week of dieting, your body is genetically programmed to fight back by lowering the hormones responsible for keeping your metabolism humming along (like the calorie-burning thyroid hormones). At the same time, it will increase the “hunger hormone” leptin. (Double whammy.)

As a result, your weight loss will come to a screeching halt, lickity split.

At this point, to keep burning fat you’ll be forced to reduce your calories even lower, and/or do MORE exercise. (Not fun… I’ve been there.)

PROBLEM #3: Your Food Is Laced with Obesity Additives: GIANT food manufacturers make BIG bucks creating “Frankenstein foods” that are stripped of belly-burning nutrients and stuffed full of dirt-cheap, artificial preservatives that make your belly bulge. 

I call these chemicals Obesity Additives and studies show: 

    * They cause a mineral imbalance that results in bloating and excess water weight.
    * They addict us by altering brain chemicals called neurotransmitters – just like the street drugs cocaine, morphine and nicotine do!
    * They cause pounds of “toxic waste” to accumulate in our digestive tracks. (Believe me, that belly bulge or “pooch” is not all belly fat.)

Those are the 3 BIG obstacles keeping you from EVER getting a flat belly. But don’t worry: there is a real SOLUTION to these MAMMOTH problems. But, first…
Confessions of a Formerly Obese “Diet Guru”

It’s true. I used to have an extra 32 pounds of blubber on my body. It was quite embarrassing really; here I was, a top “diet guru” who used to be lean and mean while working as a nutritionist for Bill Philips at the top fitness companies EAS and Body for LIFE.
Josh before and after

But, years later, those “3 big obstacles” I was just talking about finally caught up with me and I became clinically obese. Here I was, a nutritionist trying to help people get slim, but I was a balloon. Talk about feeling ashamed.

And the worst part was, none of my old tried-and-true strategies seemed to work for me anymore (like long-term, low-calorie diets).

Because of this, I had to go back to the drawing board and develop a completely NEW set of sneaky tricks designed for “hard-case” folks like me who have terrible, fat-storing genetics.

In this last-ditch effort, I took my 15 years of passion, education, and experience… studied over 1,200 new scientific studies… talked endlessly and compared notes with other experts and researchers… and used myself as a human guinea pig for months on end.

Finally, I discovered a breakthrough that allowed me to slash 11 pounds of belly fat, excess water, and toxic waste from my body in just 7 short days… and the speedy results kept coming until I finally got those 6-pack abs of my dreams!

Healing Gourmet

It seems every time you open a newspaper, turn on the TV or browse the Internet, you hear about a new discovery proving that the healthy foods we eat can prevent disease and slow aging.

But you don’t have to look much further to find the dark side of the story – the rates of obesity and diet-related diseases are skyrocketing.

What’s more, these illnesses – which were once incorrectly associated with age – are affecting people younger and younger. In fact, some children are even beginning to exhibit signs of heart disease!

Take a moment to consider the following statistics:

    * A hundred years ago diabetes affected less than 0.01% of the U.S. population. Today, nearly 27% percent of the population has diabetes or pre-diabetes. And new cases have increased 90% in the last 10 years!

    * In 1930 about 3,000 people in the U.S. died of heart disease. By 2005 heart attack and stroke killed 795,670 people. While our population grew 144%, the number of deaths due to heart disease rose 26,422%

    * A hundred years ago, cancer was responsible for only 3% of all deaths. Today, cancer is responsible for more than 20% of deaths in the U.S.

But these numbers are more than just statistics on a page…
Take a Look Around… What Do You See?




Take a moment to think back over the last 10 years of your life.

Do you know anyone who has had cancer? Have you known someone who died of a heart attack or has been debilitated by stroke? Have you witnessed Alzheimer’s steal the mind and memories of a loved one?

Chances are you answered yes to at least one of these questions.

In the coming years, hundreds of people you have met will die from these causes. Others will live the last 10 to 20 years of their life in pain, suffering and dementia… hobbling from one doctor’s appointment to the next.

It could even happen to you.

But listen to me very closely…
It Does NOT Have to Be this Way…

Nearly every disease that plagues modern man begins with what is on our plate. Most people are digging their own graves with a knife and fork.

But this DOES NOT have to happen. And it certainly does not have to happen to you and those you love.

You can change the course of your life and chart the course of your health with a few simple choices and a handful of easy changes.

You can lose weight effortlessly. You can prevent disease in your body. You can reverse the symptoms of disease that may already be there. You can feel GREAT and have abundant energy!

And you are about to learn how…
Live By the Sword… Die By the Sword

In the last 15 years, we have learned more about the human body and the causes of disease than we have in the past thousand years. And we have technology to thank for it.

But as the saying goes: Live by the sword, die by the sword.

While technology has helped us learn more about nutrition and how the body works, it is also technology and the “advancements” in food science that have fueled the rise of chronic disease.

The improvements that were meant to make our lives “easier” and more convenient have come with a tradeoff. And that tradeoff was our health.

Mass production – from feedlots… to fish farms… to fake foods – has introduced an array of foreign substances into our diets… while stripping some of the most vital, disease-fighting compounds away.

The result has been a recipe for disease.

But all it takes is a little knowledge, the right tools, and a few simple changes to ensure this never happens to you or the ones you love.

The good news is that regardless of your age or the “dis-eases” you have, you can protect and restore your health and burn away fat using the power of your plate.
Your Body is Being Constantly Renewed…

Your body is an amazing, dynamic machine:

    * 50,000 cells in your body have died and been replaced, during the time it has taken you to read this one sentence
    * The surface layer of your skin is recycled every two weeks
    * Every three to five days your stomach gets a new lining
    * Your entire liver is replaced about every 400 days.
    * Your bones are constantly being rebuilt and your entire skeleton is replaced about every 10 years

Your body is in a constant state of renewal. And when you give your body exactly what it needs and avoid the things that harm it, the rate of renewal you will experience will astound you!

It doesn’t matter where you are today…

If you are overweight and want to lose fat… or unhealthy and you want to feel better. If you are worn down and you need more energy… or even if you are in top shape and you want to stay that way… this is exactly what you’ve been looking for!

In the next seven minutes I will show you a program that is 100% guaranteed to restore your health, boost your energy and optimize your weight.
The Healing Power on Your Plate

The food you eat is not just calories that give you energy and fuel your body…

It is information, cellular fuel, immune support, free-radical defense, detoxification, hormonal balance, and glowing, supple skin… all wrapped up in a delicious, disease-fighting package.

That is, if you’re eating the right foods.

What if I told you that you can prevent Alzheimer’s disease, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, heart attacks, strokes, breast cancer, colon cancer, prostate cancer, weight gain, premature aging, cataracts and macular degeneration, infertility and IBS… all in one meal?

Seem too good to be true? Well, it’s not…

While most chronic diseases may look very different on the surface, they are really just physical variations of the same underlying causes. When you eliminate the causes, disease doesn’t stand a chance.

I’ll get to that in a moment. But before I go on…
