Big Fat Lies

You have been lied to and you have been fed a big plate of Big Fat Lies.

If you are still scared to eat fat, then chew on this, the food industry has been serving you Big Fat Lies for years and you are paying the price with your health.

We have all fallen victim to it… It just means the powerful food industry has done a good job of controlling how and what you eat.

Check out this movie trailer for Fat Head and the Big Fat Lies you have been eating and enjoy some simple spinach salad on the side with my Simple Spinach Salad recipe.

In the movie, Fat Head, you’ll learn:

• How the “lipid hypothesis” began (the myth that saturated fats will kill us).
• How obesity and diabetes develop in our bodies.
• Why lowering carbohydrate intake, and increasing animal fats, is so good for us.

My gym was like a ghost town yesterday with not ONE person besides me in the free weight area (at a big chain gym!)

Most people that were there were either sitting down on machines or lying down doing endless crunches…

I hope you’re not one of them still doing crunches for your abs, but if you are, I want you to STOP and watch this shocking and revealing video of what happens to your back when you do crunches.

As a long time foodie and pizza lover I have finally made the primal leap to making pizza without using traditional flour for the dough. Yes, even whole wheat flour as it’s a better choice than processed white flour but still full of gooey gluten, which is causing us more gastric distress and auto immune conditions than most people realize.

So after a trip to our local Bulk Barn I picked up some Coconut Flour. Yep, coconuts can give you milk, oil and now even healthy gluten free flour!

But after reading many recipes, blogs and forum comments on working with coconut flour for pizza dough, I realized it’s not as easy as replacing your regular flour cup for cup with coconut flour.

So thanks to this YouTube video I discovered for Perfect Primal Pizza I found a simple recipe for Coconut Crusted Pizza.

To make this a nutritional powerhouse pizza I tossed on some rotisserie bbq chicken, green bell peppers, mushrooms, sun dried tomatoes, pineapple and fresh oregano.

The crust was slightly crisp and the garlic herb crust tasted great with a hint of coconut sweetness.

It was the perfect portion to feed me, my wife and our 2 year old daughter and as my pic above shows, the finished product turned out great and I am happy that I now can make pizza even healthier thanks to Coconut flour.

Coconut Crust Chicken Pizza

4 omega 3 eggs
1/2 cup of coconut milk (or full fat milk)
1/3 cup coconut flour
1/3 cup flax meal
Add any spices or flavors you’d like to get a tasty crust.
1 tbsp oregano
1 tbsp basil
1 tbsp garlic powder

Make sure you watch this pizza recipe video to get some must need tips for the perfect coconut crust pizza and easy cleanup, cause I love cooking but hate cleaning!

-Preheat oven to 350F and line a baking sheet or pizza pan with TWO sheets of parchment paper. One on top of the other.

-Add coconut flour to bowl and whisk it to remove lumps. Add rest of dry ingredients and then add eggs and milk. Whisk all ingredients well.

-Pour dough batter onto top sheet of pizza pan lined with parchment paper.

-Bake for 10 minutes and remove dough. Pick up and flip the dough over onto the bottom layer of parchment paper by holding the top level of parchment paper.

-Place back in oven and bake other side for 10 minutes.

-Remove cooked dough and top your pizza with sauce and toppings.

-Broil for 5 minutes, or until cheese is browned and crust is crisp.

-When done, remove from oven and slide off of parchment for serving and easy cleanup!

Humans evolved on eating whole natural foods that were available to them that helped them be lean, strong and energetic so they can survive another day.

If you liked the documentary Food Inc., (which I highly recommend if you haven’t seen it yet) you will also like Killer at Large.

This film provides a strong wake up call about the dangerous rise of obesity, especially in our kids as well as the importance of local organic farming.

I remember meeting with world-renown strength and conditioning expert Charles Poliquin a few years back and we talked about the alarming rate of childhood obesity. With his informative wit he said “When I was growing up, the fat kids in school were made fun of because they were the minority, now childhood obesity has gotten so bad it’s the skinny kids in school that are being made fun of”

Sad but true. ..Unfortunately, this is not a laughing matter and I believe it all starts at home in teaching our kids the value in preparing and eating REAL food. Then the schools need to step up and give health education the same importance as math and science. How smart are you really when you are destroying your health?

Now I also don’t agree with being a food Nazi and raising our kids on some strict diets. We let our daughter Matea enjoy being a kid by having the typical treats that we all enjoy from time to time. But like I stress in my Dad Fitness Cookbook, Fast Food For Fit Families, you can strike the perfect balance between food and fitness if you prepare healthy meals at home. Matea’s favorite is my Tasty Turkey Meatloaf!

So I hope you take the time to watch this film this weekend so you don’t have to be watching your kids weight…

Do you eat breakfast?…I hope so. But do you eat a HEALTHY breakfast?

Unlike this belly buster breakfast in a box that weighs in with over 1000 calories, 2000mg in sodium and 64 grams of artery-clogging FAT!

I know some mornings as a busy dad just seem too crazy to prepare a healthy breakfast, like this morning when I was trying to get my daughter Matea ready to go to the sitter’s…

When I finally pulled her away from playing Dora Candyland and got her in the car…nothing…not a gig…the car wouldn’t start!

Luckily I had some booster cables in my truck and boosted the car, but took the truck anyway just in case.

I am EXCITED!

…because first I have a NEW exercise video to share with you that builds strong legs, with a cool new twist on an exercise that I bet you haven’t tried;-)

…and second I am OFFICIALLY on vacation!

My wife and I both finished up work today and we are packing up the Murano with Matea and all her “stuffed” friends and hittin’ the road on Sunday to the beautiful East Coast of New Brunswick here in Canada.

We will be gone for a couple weeks, spending some time at Kathy’s sisters as well as taking Matea to Magic Mountain waterpark and Crystal Palace amusement park.

I am also looking forward to hitting the most beautiful beaches North of Virginia as we have a cottage booked for 3 nights in Shediac during the Lobster Festival.

I hope we have better luck in New Brunswick this time around than we did when we bought the car 2 years ago there and got rear ended at a stop sign by some guy on a motorcycle…

Luckily our accident wasn't this bad!
