Why say no to gluten?
First off, gluten is found in most grains (with the exception of rice), and it is POISON! In my opinion, you might as well do shots of gasoline!! Lately, I have received some “challenges” from our clients regarding why we should not consume gluten. Most of you have heard this before, but it never hurts to hear it again.
To those of you with a medical background, please forgive me. I am going to explain this the way that I was able to understand it…as a foolish, scientifically challenged, English teacher (my main concern in 9th grade bio was to impress the boy that sat two rows over, three seats back, from me, and the equally important challenge of making it to 6th period with my hair remaining straight…for him, naturally).
We were not made to consume gluten. Over time, man has learned to process grains so that we could make them taste DELICIOUS and eat them (did you know McDonald’s buns have SUGAR added to them? No wonder they are so wonderful!!). If you went into a wheat field and plucked yourself some grain, it would not taste like that tantalizing sesame seed bun. HUMANS PROCESS IT TO MAKE IT TASTE DELECTABLE (can you tell from my adjectives that I am a recovering grain addict?)
Where my farmers at???? If a horse gets into a bag of grains and eats too much, what happens? It needs emergency evacuation of this “overeating disaster.” The grains will KILL a horse. So, in our attempts to FATTEN animals, we must be careful not to overfeed them with the source that FATTENS them (yes, I am stressing the word ‘fatten’) because it will poison them. WHAT DOES IT DO TO US????
As part of your digestive system, we have these little “things” that look like fingers called villi and micro villi. They act as the last filter to what goes into your system. When there is a toxin about to enter, they say, “whooooo we gotta’ get rid of this!” and your body creates antibodies to fight the toxin. When you put the ATROCIOUS poison called gluten into your system they must create antibodies to fight the effects of this.
I know what you’re thinking, “My body makes antibodies (whatever those are!)… PENNE, MANICOTTI,RAMIN NOODLES, BROWN SUGAR OATMEAL COME TO ME!!”
no, NO, nO!!!!!!
Some people’s bodies have such an intolerance to gluten that they can’t eat any without having a reaction (Celiac Disease), the rest of us, work hard to fight it. What does that mean? IT MEANS, YOU CREATE SO MANY ANTIBODIES TO FIGHT OFF THE NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF GLUTEN THAT YOU CANNOT FIGHT OFF OTHER DISEASES OR ILLNESSES!
Cut this putrid poison out of your body and you will find yourself getting a lot less colds, flus, and all of the other horrid illnesses that bring us down!
What you feed your body is the most powerful medicine: Both doctors and patients are seeing how potent nutrition is in fighting disease, and it has none of the dangerous side effects of many medications.
“I try to push the Paleo Diet every second I get. In my private practice, it has cured more patients than any other supplement or medication I have used.”- Brooks Rice, M.D.
Here is a list of Autoimmune Diseases that can be prevented, improved and possibly cured with the Paleo Diet.

October 07, 2009 06:01 amThat picture was taken 5 years ago at my college graduation. During that time, I lived off of strictly bad cafeteria food then i moved on to easy mac, pasta-roni, rice-aroni, pizza (my achilles heal I LOVE PIZZA) and booze (obviously). After graduation I realized I needed to make some changes. Just on dieting alone I lost about 10lbs the rest of the weight was a different story and I'm not gonna lie, the last 40lbs or so took some work. At my heaviest I weighed in at 245lbs, pre-crossfit I was at 205lbs and now since I've been crossfitting, I am down to 192lbs….do the math. With the WOD'S and strictly paleo I noticed that I've really started to lean out which was one of my goals from the first day I walked into the Shoreline, I guess its time to set some new ones.
Bryan….I didn't know you smoked. I was a closet smoker at one point in time. Keep up the good work you stud.
By the way, nice orange underpants! Are we guessing who's tush that is?

It's actually only been 2 weeks with no poison sticks but I feel great. Thanks for the shout out and support.
I never knew how good Blanco looked from all angles.
No comment on the last pic in fear of having to sleep on the couch.
