MY DISCLAIMER
The legal mumbo-jumbo aside, the truth is that you can go ahead and ask your physician for nutrition advice – but
don’t expect to get quality answers.
This will offend a LOT of people, but most doctors simply have no clue of what you should eat.
In fact, one study showed that more than 50% of doctors have LESS nutritional knowledge than their patients (which
are mostly clueless too). (Reference: Am J Clin Nutr September 1993 vol. 58 no. 3 319-325)
The simple fact that hospitals still serve junk like sugar-laden Jell-O and other processed foods to their patients
proves once again that you should never rely on the medical industry to give you nutrition advice.
The only way you can get a different body and life is by taking different steps than the millions of overweight people
in the US and around the world. It starts by getting information from independent sources that really care about your
results.
Thankfully, that’s what you’re doing right now.

CONDIMENTS}
The Truth About Condiments
“ What are fries without ketchup?
Burgers without toppings? “
And what about your BLT sandwich without mayo or mustard?
They’re bland.
That’s where condiments come in… to save the day and make everything tasty.
But be warned… while they’re busy fixing the taste of your favorite meals, the same condiments are adding
a boatload of calories and nasty ingredients behind your back.
Let’s say that an adult eating the average 2,000 daily calories uses these condiments in a day:
2 tbsp. ketchup with eggs in the morning
2 tbsp. ranch salad dressing with a salad for lunch, plus 2 tbsp. of mayo in a sandwich
2 tbsp. cream cheese on whole wheat crackers as a snack
4 tbsp. guacamole for dinner, plus 2 tbsp. whipped cream to top off berries at night
That’s a whopping 591 extra calories1 worth of conditments in a single day – 30% of that person’s daily calo-
ries! Calories made of high fructose corn syrup, trans fat-laden vegetable oil and inflammatory pasteurised
dairy. Not good.
And remember that this number could have been way higher. After all, who really takes the time to portion
control condiments to the very tablespoon?
Now, how can you avoid that condiment trap and still make your meals tasty?
Simply read on…

SNACKS }
The Truth About Snacks
“ I bet you can’t eat just one.
“
This slogan used by Lay’s chips in the past pretty much sums up the mindset manufacturers have when devel-
oping tasty and addicting snacks. No wonder most people have cravings for these foods on a regular basis.
Added salt, sugar, fat and flavor-boosting additives like MSG make these snacks impossible to resist. I must ad-
mit – if there’s a bag of chip in front of me, my hand will reach out for them, even if my mind thinks these chips
are nasty and should never be eaten by anyone on Earth.
That’s what you have to fight against when trying to find a fat burning snack. It needs to be at the same time
relatively low in calories – because going overboard when snacking is very easy to do – convenient and addic-
tive.

Fake Chips Are Even Worse
To avoid paying extra taxes in the UK, The Pringles Company (owned by
Procter & Gamble) argued that the potato content of their chips was so
low that they could not be called potato chips.10
While the judge saw through this stratagem and made the company
pay $160 million in taxes (applicable to all potato chips products in the
UK), Pringles was right on one thing – these chips do not contain a lot
of potatoes. Pringles contain less than 40% potato flour, the rest of the
product being filled with cheap rice, wheat, corn and trans fat-laden
refined oil.

Protein Snacks
High-protein snacks are a great choice because they curb your appetite while keeping your
blood sugar very stable. Always keep them around.
Beef jerky
Beef jerky is somewhat expensive, but the 26% protein content and very low calorie count make it the perfect protein snack.
That may be why it’s part of the official NASA menu for astronauts during outer space missions. 15

SEASONINGS }
Seasonings
“ Healthy eating isn’t bland. That’s a huge myth.
“
After all, the high class restaurants use only whole foods to create the tastiest meals on the entire planet.
So if you want to stick to a healthy diet, you have to master the art of making your whole food meals taste good.
And it all starts with using the right seasonings.

dangerous side effects.
