A Slimmer, Longer Living, Healthier You

In the early 1900s just 1 in 150 Americans were overweight. By comparison in 2009 2 in 3 were overweight and we suffered from the highest rates of diet-induced disability, illness, and disease in the world. Compare how Americans ate then versus now? Then, two-thirds of what we ate was fresh from the garden. Now, ninety-three percent of what we eat is sugar, oil, refined grains, and animal-based foods. If you are satisfied with your present body weight and your health, then keep doing what you are doing. If not, consider steps you can take to enable the dietary habits of the slimmest, longest living, and most disease-free people in the world.

Dietary Habits of the World’s Healthiest People

The following dietary habits are enjoyed by populations that experience 1/10 the U.S. disease rates and only 1/50 the U.S. rate of obesity:

1. First, healthy people meet all nutritional requirements within a stay-slim caloric budget. By comparison, the average American exceeds his or her caloric budget without meeting basic nutritional requirements. When vital nutritional needs go unmet the body turns on the hunger drive leading to further eating and to weight gains. Learn to satisfy vital nutritional needs within a stay-slim caloric budget.
2. Second, healthy people are able to eat until satisfied without gaining weight because the foods they consume are high in volume but low in calories. By comparison, the average American exceeds his or her caloric budget before consuming sufficient volume to feel satisfied. Achieve satisfaction by eating foods that are high in volume but low in calories.
3. Third, the digestive burden of healthy people is extremely low, requiring just 2 to 6 hours for a complete meal to fully enter the bloodstream. By comparison, the digestive burden of the average American requires 8 to 24+ hours for a meal to fully enter the bloodstream. Cut your total digestive burden in half by learning to meet nutritional requirements with the most easily digested foods.
4. Fourth, healthy people love how they eat and keep food preparation simple. Your diet must be simple and enjoyable and it must offer variety and satisfaction. If you don’t enjoy a healthful diet, or if it becomes boring, or is too hard to do, then you will stop doing it. Learn how to eat healthfully; then learn to do so simply and enjoyably.
5. Fifth, the healthiest populations don’t have chips, fries, sodas and McDonalds. It is easier for them to satisfy themselves in a healthful manner because of the food choices that surround them. With thousands of unhealthy choices, the deck is stacked against you as an American, unless you establish a personal environment (pantry, refrigerator, workplace, car, etc.) that supports healthful food choices.

To help you get the help you need to achieve the above steps, I invite you to accept Daniel’s Challenge and read the book Original Fast Foods. The challenge will help you master these steps in just six weeks and the book lays the foundation to support long-term success. It is common to lose 20 to 40+ pounds during the six-week challenge, to experience increased energy, and to lower cholesterol and blood pressure significantly.

What is Daniel’s Challenge? It is a challenge to learn to eat like the healthiest people in the world by following our recommendations for six weeks; and to monitor the difference it makes in how you feel, in how easily you lose excess weight, and in improvements you make with internal health biomarkers, such as cholesterol and blood pressure levels. Based upon your results, you will then choose whether or not to adopt your new dietary lifestyle for a lifetime.
