I love scanning the magazine covers at the checkout areas of the supermarket – just to see what ‘hypey hooks’ are being used to get people to pick up the latest issue and buy it.

The hyped up hooks really never change – they just get recycled and re-used throughout the year – …year after year.

You might recognize some of these Hyped-Up, Fitness and Fat Loss Headlines:

- 2 Fruits That Burn Fat While You Sleep!

- New Vegetable Shrinks Fat Cells!

- Top 6 Foods That Block Fat Deposits!

- Lose 11 Pounds in 4 Days With This Soup!

- Shed the Flab With These 5 Juices!

- New Grain Reduces Fat Stores in Belly!

- 3 Foods That Literally Melt Cellulite!

Yeah – you know the headlines I’m talking about…

Now – here is the ‘Un-Hyped’ truth…

When you replace processed, high calorie, low nutrient foods – with minimally processed, high nutrient value foods – you are going to get health and fitness promoting benefits. The magical powers that created us and the universe we are a part of – also created THE perfect foods for optimal human existence.

The creation of perfect foods for optimal human existence is no accident. As a matter of fact – the foods that are produced by nature are as miraculous as the creation of me and you. Think about it…

Without food and water we die. With high quality food and water – we live long and healthy – generally speaking.

With low quality food and water – we can sustain life – but usually its a very low quality of life that usually ends more painfully and sooner than nature would prefer.

I talk more about this in the book – but for now – here is a list I put together for a client, recently, and I thought it would be great to make this available to you and the rest of the world – so here it is:
