WHY EVERYTHING YOU’VE BELIEVED IN NUTRITION IS A LIE

I’m going to skip right to the answer here… It’s always about MONEY. Follow the money, folks. Every association, committee, organization, etc., has made vital decisions about YOUR diet and nutrition based on money.

The big name weight loss programs out there are in the business of not making you thin, but making themselves money. They do that by you failing. You fail by following a shitty system that they count on you to give up on. They can’t pay Oprah millions of dollars for endorsements pushing bread without you failing over and over again.

Most everyone following the NSNG lifestyle call it such and will often correct others that call it just a “diet” because we believe it is a lifetime commitment to alter your way of living to avoid sugar and grains completely. When you start a diet, you should think about how hard it would be to keep that way of living for the rest of your life. You can’t stick to program dieting the rest of your life or counting points or whatever other fad diets exist. Once you achieve your goal weight and resume your normal way of eating, the pounds will jump back on with a vengeance.

Calorie in-calorie out doesn’t work because we know “all calories are not created equal”! You can count your low-fat calories and sweat it out on that treadmill all day every day, but if those calories are nothing but processed garbage full of sugar and grains, you’re burning nothing but sugar on that treadmill, baby!
Look at studies that are released saying certain things are good for you – then follow the money. Who paid for them to say that? A recent study that was all over the internet said researchers found eating pasta doesn’t make you fat, that it actually made you slimmer… if you read down in the fine print at the bottom you would see the study was sponsored by a large brand pasta company.

Why believe me? The point is – do your research. Realize that studies put out by large foundations or groups are often backed by a corporation trying to buy a good image and find that information. Don’t just read a study blindly. Dig deeper to find out where it came from. There are lots of documentaries such as Fed Up, Sugar Coated, Hungry for Change (all currently available on Netflix), The Perfect Human Diet (currently available on Hulu), and Food Matters (currently available on Amazon Prime). There are many great books to educate yourself on these topics and more that I, myself, have read or getting ready to start soon (still working on a few pregnancy books…).

Several books I will highly recommend to any followers here that are interested to learn more about anything you’ve read here:
