Core Principles of the Maximized Living Nutrition Plans

Transform the way you look and feel – Build a thriving family – Strengthen your body and mind – Balance your hormones – Radically slow the aging process – Prevent, stop, and even reverse disease

The Maximized Living Plans focus on the true principles of nutrition that have sustained human life for thousands of years. These principles can be seen today in cultures around the world that are free of the chronic conditions plaguing North Americans.


What Happened...

The Standard North American Diet

The typical North American diet is not working, as seen by the skyrocketing statistics of heart disease, diabetes, prostate cancer, breast cancer, and obesity.

(It is these five chronic diseases that North Americans are most likely to die from.)    To avoid becoming a statistic it is essential that you avoid the 3 Dangers that compromise health:

Sugar
Sugar is cheap and addictive and a primary risk factor for diabetes, heart disease and cancer.    When too much sugar is consumed, as is the case in the Standard North American Diet, excess sugar not usable for energyisstoredasfat. Withtoomuchsugarinthe bloodstream, insulin becomes constantly elevated leading to Type II diabetes. Sugar also fuels cancerous cells, and impedes the immune system.

Damaged Fats
North American studies which have linked fat consumption with disease have primarily evaluated the impact of damaged fats on the body, and have overlooked the incredible benefits of healthy fats. Damaged fats such as trans fats (hydrogenated oils), vegetable oils, and canola oil have been denatured through heat and chemical changes, causing them to oxidize and form free radicals which are hazardous to your health. Healthy fats such as olive oil, coconut oil, nuts and seeds provide your body with nutrients to build cell membranes, absorb vitamins and lower inflammation.

Toxins
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved approximately 3,000 food additives, preservatives and colorings for use in the food supply. The average person will ingest 140-150 pounds of additives and chemicals every year, creating a serious imbalance within the body. Because toxins from food and household products are fat-soluble, the body will naturally create fat to safely store the toxins and protect the body. This toxic fat will block nutrients, rob your energy, contaminate your cells, affect your moods and contribute to a host of symptoms and disease.

The Solutions...

The Core Plan
This plan is for everyone. The three core nutrition principles are the foundation for the Nutrition Plans, regardless of age, gender, genetic
background, or medical history. Following this plan results in healthy, thriving families.

The 3 Principles

Fat
Healthy Fats vs. Damaged Fats:
Eat More Healthy Fats; Eliminate all Damaged Fats

Protein
Naturally Raised vs. Unnaturally Raised Animals
Go Organic and Natural for all Animal Products

Carbohydrates
WholeCarbohydratesvs.RefinedCarbohydrates
Eat More Vegetables, Eliminate Refined Grains & Sugars

The Advanced Plan

This plan can be used for short- term management of weight, disease, or detoxification, or may be used on a long-term basis for those who are genetically suited for it. The Advanced Plan has been researched and formulated to maximize your body’s full potential for health, energy, recovery, and cognitive power. It is designed to reduce inflammation, restore cell membrane function in order to aid detoxification , regulate hormones, and promote the use of fat (instead of sugar) as the body’s primary source for energy. This is why it works so well, so quickly. Some indications you may need this plan are as follows:

ADD/ADHD • Autism Spectrum Disorders Obesity • High Cholesterol • High Triglycerides High Blood Sugar • Low Blood Sugar• High Insulin High Blood Pressure • Heart Disease • High Leptin Chronic Fatigue • Toxicity • Fibromyalgia • Cancer Digestive Dysfunction • Genetic Intolerance to Grains Inflammatory Disease • Arthritis

Three Rules on the Advanced Plan
Follow the 3 Principles of the Core Plan along with the following modifications:

Fat
Increase your intake of healthy fats

Protein
Moderate your intake of protein

Carbs
Eliminate all grains, sugars, and most fruits

The Advanced Plan is specifically designed to eliminate cravings (something that many diets fail to do). Asa result, people see dramatic results in very little time on the Advanced Plan.
