It’s funny how the word "diet" has come to mean something you do for a time to achieve weight loss. "Diet" is what we eat each day; Humans have a diet we should follow just like all other animals. It should not vary that much from person to person; 2000 calories a day from REAL food, not products, nothing out of boxes or cans, plenty of healthy saturated fats from organic sources, organic protein from animals that are grass fed, free range, kindly treated and NATURALLY fed (NOT corn)…and don’t make it low fat…and vegetables as our main source for carbs.
When will Americans learn there are no easy, quick fixes…no gimmicks or diets that will let you do something short term, get healthy…and then go back to doing what got you there in the first place?
Let this be the year you get healthy and as a great side effect, lose that weight…
- Eat more protein
- Eat more fat
- Learn about the glycemic index and use it!

Weston Price Foundation posted this on Facebook this morning and it got me curious;
OF COURSE Americans do not adhere to these recommendation! Eating low fat and restricting food intake is ridiculous. Americans keep eating because they are truly HUNGRY! Your body will tell you to keep eating if you have not met your nutrient level needed for that day…You can take in 3000 calories a day and if a high percentage of those calories are carbohydrates too are STILL going to be hungry!
I went to the site, plugged in my stats and the first thing the site recommended was that I see a health professional to see how to gain weight! Are they kidding?? I am in perfect health at 58 years old, am 5 feet 5 inches and weigh a perfect 110 pounds. My waist is the same size as it was before I had 5 kids, I never get sick, have recovered from Meniere’s Disease, chronic allergies and sore throats, recovered a partial hearing loss, gotten rid of arthritis, acne and been teaching nutrition for 26 years. No doctor ever helped with my health issues, according to the government (obviously bought and paid for by big food, agri-food I call it) I eat all wrong. LOL!
Now don’t take this the wrong way, I’m not trying to be catty…but do I really want to look like this woman who is recommending how Americans should eat?….
While she may very well be eating how she recommends it obviously isn’t working for weight loss. Because it contains TOO MANY CARBS! And a lot of empty carbs if we follow the recommendations to eat grains. (we shouldn’t).
Wee need 50% of our 2000 calories a day to come from fat; butter, fat from meat, coconut oil, avocados. We need 30% of our calories to come from protein, NOT lean protein. The remaining 20% of the 2000 calories should be from carbs…and all of those should be from low glycemic veggies, mostly green leafy vegetables. One serving of fruit with breakfast should be all that is taken in each day…and make that one count; make it blueberries or other deeply colored fruit. Depth of color means depth of nutrients and anti-oxidants.
And enjoy some dark chocolate each day..and a little wine. Both are not only good for the soul, but are rich in anti-oxidants. Can you believe that dark chocolate isn’t even in the government data base?? Crazy!

I am on the home stretch of writing my new book, actually two new books.
Criterion Diet is a 30 Day Guide to how to quickly change the way you feel, lose approximately 20 pounds if needed, get rid of allergies and have substantially more energy. It is based on a Traditional Human Diet of 2000 calories a day that meets all of your nutrient needs. Caloric restriction is a theory that just doesn’t work when it comes to weight loss, you lose weight faster when the body is well nourished.
The book is in a 4 Week Format; a quick introduction and overview, and a week by week menu plan broken down daily with recipes and shopping list.
The Criterion Kitchen Toolbox is a guide to setting up a kitchen. It is broken into 3 parts; a bare bones, just what you need to cook for yourself, what to add to it as you can, and the ideal kitchen set up.
For each piece of equipment or utensil I give three recommendation; least expensive but good quality for the price, a moderate choice and the ideal. I give links on where to find the items and prices as well as my recommendations and why.
look for these book right around the Holidays and let them help you go into the New Year looking and feeling great!

Remember that sales is all about manipulation. There are many ways grocery stores trick you into buying more.
The best advice is;
- BUY WHOLE FOODS! Buy a whole chicken, cut it up yourself. The savings are tremendous. And you will have bones to make stock. Don’t buy convenience foods; you are paying dearly fpor that convenience.
- Make a list and stick to it.
- Buy proteins and fruits and veggies. Do not buy food in boxes, cans. It is not as good for you and is wasteful of the earths resources. PLUS, those cans have BPA, really bad for you.
Huffington Post has a great article on tricks to make you buy more, check it out HERE.
