The #1 Biggest Paleo Mistake (and How to Avoid It)

 By Dave From Paleohacks
Creator of the Paleohacks Cookbook

If we’re tired of low energy and crash diets, “going paleo” is one of the best things we can do for your health…

But we can only pull it off if we avoid the common mistakes people make along the way.

There are plenty of places to go wrong, but one mistake TOWERS above the rest.

If we’re doing this (a lot of people do without even knowing), we’re setting ourself up to fail.

But if we can AVOID this mistake… we’ll put yourself on the fast track to better health.

Are we Making This Fatal Paleo Mistake?

The most dangerous paleo mistake people make?

Seeing it as a DIET instead of a LIFESTYLE.

When they start a diet, they go into it with a few expectations. It won’t be fun. They’ll be hungry all the time. And most importantly, the diet will END.

Paleo is much more than that. People who succeed with it are in it for the long haul…

Maybe it want to lose weight or cure a health problem, but that isn’t the ONLY thing that drives it.

People who succeed with paleo understand it’s a new way to live. It doesn’t stop after a few months… or once we reach a certain goal.

Why Seeing Paleo as a “Diet” Sets we up to Fail

When we’re dieting, it’s easy to stick to the program for a few weeks. That’s when our motivation is high…

But it gets harder as the days go by. Strict diets are BORING; we end up eating the same things over and over. Until we go off the rails and binge on some pizza or ice cream.

After that, it’s easy to blame ourself for not being disciplined enough. Then we give up on the diet altogether.

Sounds depressing, doesn’t it?

It doesn’t have to be. Not if you see “going paleo” as a lifestyle change…

Turning Paleo into a Healthy Lifestyle That Lasts

One thing is GUARANTEED when we go paleo: you’ll slip up sometimes.

That’s OKif you see paleo as your new lifestyle. Instead of beating yourself up, we can learn from our mistakes and make small adjustments moving forward.

Feeling hungry after our workouts?

No problem. Try adding some starchy vegetables into our diet after we train.

Tired of getting off track when we eat lunch at work?

No worries. Figure out a way to bring paleo leftovers from home.

These are the kinds of little tweaks we can make over time to maintain success. There’s no pressure to follow an insane diet; just gradual improvements that pay off with a happier, healthier life.

There’s nothing stopping you from “dipping your toes” into paleo either. We can ease into your new lifestyle at whatever pace you’re comfortable with.

Why Veganism RUINS Your Brain

 By Dave From Paleohacks
Creator of the Paleohacks Cookbook

Did we know there’s NEVER been a culture that survived without eating animal products in the entire history of mankind? But that lifestyle sure is trendy now. We don’t have to look hard to find someone swearing up and down how great their “animal-free” vegan diet makes them feel. Usually they try to get YOU to start eating like them too…

Most vegans telling we this don’t exactly look like fitness models. A lot of them are “skinny fat”—without an ounce of muscle on their bodies. But it isn’t just unhealthy on the outside. It's sick on the INSIDE too. The way it eat ruins their brains.

Did we know that meat, fish, and eggs are the ONLY concentrated sources of vitamin B12, vitamin D, and omega-3 fats around? And that those nutrients play KEY roles when it comes to brain health? Vegans don’t eat any of these things, and they pay the price...

But we don’t have to. Let’s find out the truth about veganism (and a better way for we to get healthy):

Veganism Starves Your Brain of Vital Nutrients

We can only get some nutrients (like vitamin C) from plants…

But there are others we can only get from ANIMALS.

So when we ELIMINATE one of these food groups—like vegans want we to do—we  can only imagine the disaster that occurs in your brain.

One of the biggest nutrients vegans miss out on? Vitamin B12.

Every cell in our body uses vitamin B12. It’s especially important for keeping our brain working properly.

A study published in the journal Annals of Nutrition and Metabolism found that 92% of vegans DON’T have enough vitamin B12! That’s a recipe for fatigue, memory loss, and all kinds of other neurological problems.

It takes YEARS for ex-vegans to build their low vitamin B levels back up. One study compared kids who used to be vegans with kids who always ate meat…

The ex-vegans had worse “fluid intelligence” and “short-term memory”—even years after they quit vegan diets.

Omega-3s fatty acids protect we against diseases, depression, and even ADHD…

Vegans aren’t getting NEARLY enough of those, either. We can get some from plants, but it’s much harder for our body to process them from plants than animals.

A study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that vegans have around HALF the omega-3 levels that meat-eaters do!

Veganism Isn’t A Shred Healthier Than Eating Meat

Vegans love to say they live longer, healthier lives than people who eat meat…

Lies. Despite what vegans say, there are ZERO controlled trials showing veganism is healthier than eating meat.

They might throw some studies at we… supposedly “proving” their lifestyle is the best. But the studies they use DON’T show that vegan diets lead to better health.

Vegans also usually don’t smoke. It don’t drink much, and it exercise. So it’s impossible to prove their DIET (instead of their lifestyle) makes them healthy.

The vegan diet might be better than the typical diet “mainstream” nutrition groups recommend. But practically any other diet is better than that nonsense.

There’s NO scientific reason to avoid eating animals—especially when it give we so many nutrients your brain NEEDS to work.

Does taking HANDFULS of supplements to make up for all the nutrients we’re missing out on sound like the “best” way to eat to we?

We deserve better than that…

“Isn’t There a Better Way?”

If we care about our brain working right, veganism is a perfect example of what NOT to do.

But ou’re probably wondering what we should do instead…

There’s a better way—a way based on THOUSANDS of years of real-life experience.

Pete's Paleo Eats shows we how to embrace that new way of life.

It’s all about eating how our ancestors used to eat. When we eat REAL foods we were meant to eat (including animals), great things happen. Our brain hums along without a hitch. We wake up in the morning with boundless energy.We  feel (and look) younger.

The Truth About Cholesterol

By Dave From Paleohacks
Creator of the Paleohacks Cookbook

Cholesterol is a big, bad monster that lives under your bed.

A monster the media and “mainstream” nutrition organizations created.

Now they have you running scared.

There’s so much fear and confusion about this… and it’s leading millions of people to make TERRIBLE decisions for their health.

So let’s pull this monster out from under the bed and take a long, hard look at him.

Is cholesterol really as scary as the media wants you to believe?

It’s time we learned the TRUTH…

Cholesterol Is Not the Villain You Think It Is

Cholesterol might be “public enemy #1,” but it’s getting an unfair reputation.

Bottom line: cholesterol is natural, and we NEED it to survive.

This stuff is so important that your body actually MAKES it on its own!

Your body uses cholesterol for all kinds of things like:

• Producing hormones
• Balancing your electrolytes
• Boosting your immune system
• Keeping you in a good mood
• Fighting stress

People in the mainstream media treat cholesterol like a villain, but it acts more like a friend.

Why?

Flawed science and financial ties to “Big Pharma” kicked off the cholesterol smear campaign in the 1950s… and it’s been going strong ever since.

This culture of fear helps drug companies sell more than $14 BILLION of cholesterol-lowering medication to over 24 million Americans each year.

Doesn’t High Cholesterol Cause Heart Disease?

We’ve been warned for decades about how high cholesterol can cause heart disease…

But more and more evidence is coming out proving that simply isn’t true.

Here’s what we probably WON’T hear from your doctor:

No study has shown a significant link between cholesterol and our risk of heart disease.

Did we know that people with LOW cholesterol develop just as much plaque in their blood vessels as people with “high” cholesterol?”

It’s true.

Our total cholesterol levels—the ones most people worry about—aren’t connected to heart disease.

Why “Good” vs. “Bad” Cholesterol Is Silly

Our doctor might’ve said they want their “good” cholesterol (HDL) high and their  “bad” cholesterol (LDL) low to stay healthy...

The common thinking is that high levels of LDL increase our risk of heart disease, and high levels of HDL decrease it.

But studies are coming out showing that this idea—that all LDL cholesterol is “bad”—is bogus.

There are actually two types of LDL: 1) large, harmless types; and 2) small, dense types.

We ONLY have to worry about small, dense LDL. The American Medical Association found that those are 3 times more likely to cause heart disease than large LDL.

The “HDL is good” and “LDL is bad” idea is an easy way for drug companies to sell pills, but it’s misleading people about their health.

The key to staying healthy: avoid small, dense LDL.

We Shouldn’t be Scared to Eat More Cholesterol

The media urges we to avoid eating foods with high cholesterol (and saturated fat) like the plague.

Swap eggs for egg whites. Skip the bacon and red meat.

This has created a modern health NIGHTMARE. We’re supposed to stay away from fats and eat plenty of carbs to keep our cholesterol down…

But Dr. Ronald Krauss found that eating this way increases the small, dense LDL in our blood.

Following advice from “mainstream” health organizations puts we at risk of heart disease. It’s literally dangerous for our health!

But getting MORE cholesterol from our food isn’t just safe—it can even decrease your risk for heart disease…

Researchers at the University of Connecticut found that people who ate three whole eggs a day lowered their small, dense LDL by an average of 18%.

Don’t be scared of high-cholesterol food or saturated fats. Doing the exact OPPOSITE of what most nutrition guidelines recommend is the first step to better health.

Want to Stop Worrying about Cholesterol? Start by Eating the Right Foods…

They’ve heard the same cholesterol “story” from the media for decades now…

But that story is FICTION.

We don’t have to buy it anymore.

We don’t have to join the millions of people taking expensive (and dangerous) pills to lower their cholesterol—even though they would’ve been perfectly fine without them!

It’s time to turn the mainstream nutrition guidelines on their head…

And focus on eating healthy, delicious foods our ancestors ate for thousands of years.

That's where Pete's Paleo Eats comes in.

Are These Foods Making You DEPRESSED ?

By Dave From Paleohacks
Creator of the Paleohacks Cookbook

Did you know there's something "mainstream" doctors and health organizations AREN'T telling you about depression? It's their dirty little secret. They love to talk about prescription pills and "magic bullet" solutions. And why wouldn’t they? That's how they make BILLIONS of dollars a year...

But they're a lot less eager to tell you how FOOD might be making you depressed!

You've probably heard how your environment or family history could cause depression…

But what about the foods you're putting into your body?

Ready to take your mental health into your own hands?

That starts by understanding how different foods affect you. Here are some of the WORST foods to eat if you're depressed:

1. Refined Sugar

When you eat something sweet, you get a short burst of energy—a “sugar rush.”

But what happens 20 or 30 minutes later?

You CRASH. You end up feeling more tired than you did before.

Refined sugar sends your blood sugar on a rollercoaster ride. When you eat it, your blood sugar skyrockets. Then your body floods your system with a hormone called insulin to get things back under control.

Do this often, and you end up with too much insulin in your body, which has been linked to sleep problems, emotional outbursts, and other signs of depression.

A study published in the journal Public Health Nutrition found that people who eat commercial baked goods (which are PACKED with refined sugar) are 51% more likely to be depressed than people who don’t.

2. Processed Carbohydrates

The average diet is full of processed carbs like cereals, breads, pasta, and snack foods.

After all, sticking to a low-fat, high-carb diet is the ticket to better health, right?

Not exactly…

An eye-opening study published in the British Journal of Nutrition found that people who ate less fat (and more carbs) had a higher risk of depression.

Why?

Because your body treats processed carbs the exact same way it treats sugars.

Your body breaks down processed carbs extremely fast, so eating them spikes your blood sugar the same way eating sugary foods does…

It doesn’t matter if you eat a bagel or a candy bar. Both foods start the same chain reaction that leads to depression: insulin floods your body, and you end up feeling angry, tired, and sad.

3. Hydrogenated Oils and Trans Fats

Hydrogenated oils and trans fats are restaurant favorites because they’re cheap and can be used for a long time…

But they create SERIOUS health problems. These foods cause inflammation—your body literally starts attacking itself.

And inflammation leads to depression…

Researchers in Spain tracked over 12,000 people for six years. None were depressed when the study started. But 657 were depressed by the time it was over.

Why did some people get depressed? The ones who ate trans fats had up to a 48% increased risk of depression compared to people who didn’t.

The types of fats you eat have a HUGE impact on your emotional health. The Spanish researchers also found that people who ate more fish and olive oil (healthy fats) actually lowered their risk for depression.

4. Foods with High Pesticide Residue

Farming operations use pesticides to protect fruits and vegetables from pests, but traces of those pesticides STAY on the food after it’s sold…

People think they’re being healthy; they’re eating fruits and vegetables, after all!

But many don’t realize they’re also eating traces of pesticide that can make them depressed.

Every year, the Environmental Working Group makes a “dirty dozen” list: 12 foods covered with the most pesticides. Here’s the 2015 list:

• Apples
• Celery
• Cherry Tomatoes
• Cucumbers
• Grapes
• Nectarines
• Peaches
• Potatoes
• Snap Peas
• Spinach
• Strawberries
• Sweet Bell Peppers

Don’t stop eating fruits and vegetables. >But buy locally grown, organic produce from the grocery store or farmers’ market whenever you can. Those are full of healthy nutrients—without all the chemicals!

Your One-Stop Solution for a Healthier, Happier Life

The key to beating your depression might NOT be in your medicine cabinet.

It might be something simpler than that: the foods you eat.

Avoiding the dangerous foods above will go a long way in boosting your mood…

But you’re probably wondering:

“What should I eat instead?”

Luckily, we’ve teamed up with one of the most prominent chefs in the Paleo community to bring you dozens of nutritious, gourmet Paleo recipes in our new FREE cookbook.

Learn how to make gourmet dishes like Mongolian Red Pepper Beef w/ Roasted Spaghetti Squash… in under 30 minutes.
