This is hard and humbling to write. I share it so you don't make the same mistakes that I have made over the last 25 years. As I mentioned before nutrition is an evolutionary process and I understand that we will all make mistakes. It is important to seek knowledge and have an open mind, with nutrition and life in general. Over the years I have searched and searched for the key to performance and health with nutrition. Reading info from all the"experts" in bodybuilding, endurance and fitness in general the consensus was that you need a lot of protein from animal sources to grow strong muscles. Carbs from pastas, rice and other starches. Of course the bodybuilders focus on protein while the endurance athletes focus is starchy carbs. Both mean well and both are wrong.
All of the nutrition books I have read, save one: The China Study, have been opinion and biased study groups. I mean no disrespect to all of the info out there but the FACTS speak loud and clear. Make no mistake I am not happy to admit that I have been wrong. For those of you who know me you understand this is a hard admission. Those out there who don't, well I am one of the most hard-headed arrogant jerks you will meet. If I think I am right there is nothing that will change my mind. Personally, I love that about me:) So again this isn't easy. I have been in the health and fitness industry for over 25 years and what bothers me the most about being wrong is that I could have helped many more people with the knowledge that I now have.
I won't go into great detail but here are the basics, keep in mind this is my opinion formed over the last 25 years. When it comes to nutrition stick to whole food plant based diet. LOTS of fruit and veggies. My menu is GODs Menu, that sounds arrogant but he always dines with me:) GODs Menu; fruits, veggies, nuts, seeds... If I can pick it and eat it that's what GOD intended. NO, I don't pick it I just eat it! Not only do I not pick it I have it delivered by Door to Door Organics http://kc.doortodoororganics.com/ :) Then I have my Isagenix delivered as well http://koachkarl.isagenix.com/us/en/home.dhtml . I know what your thinking, GOD didn't make Isagenix! That is true! Over the years Isagenix is the best nutritional bridge I have found between Adam and Eve and our current state of food. I use Isagenix and believe it is the best nutritional source money can buy. It is a food not a supplement. They use the highest quality ingredients money can buy. You won't find any other product that compares. If you do USE IT, but you won't. Through the combination of Isagenix and whole food fruits, veggies and nuts I have become healthier and more fit than I have ever been in my life. That is a great thing to say at 49 years of age. I eat NO animal meat what so ever and my body thanks me daily for the change.
This has been an eye opening journey for me. I recommend that you read The China Study, as I have said it is life changing. Why? Because it is based on scientific peer-reviewed studies. That is the only reason I considered making the change. I also recommend Reverend George's website http://healthtip.hacres.com/ , his newsletter is a must for anyone wanting to be on the cutting edge of nutrition and the ties to the bible.
I highly recommend you make the change to GODs Menu, if you have any questions please feel free to contact me at pkkeltner@kc.rr.com
