Welcome to The End of Food Addiction Forever
Wait. Is that even possible in today’s culture? Actually, yes. So, here goes… In addition to regaining my health, I’ve been doing extensive research on how to extract myself from my food addictions and food cravings. And I keep coming back to the same point: I need to stop eating the very foods that trigger them. Simple. In fact, I’ve written two previous blog posts on my thoughts on food addiction, and how I was conquering them. However, I was missing a final piece of the puzzle, and I have finally figured it out. When I quit smoking over 8 years ago, it wasn’t grueling or awful, or unbearable. In…
My Thoughts on Food Addiction
Imagine for a moment that every person you knew smoked. Imagine that it was an expected thing to do and so socially ingrained in the society that even children started smoking at young ages.

In a word; miserable. Then I embarked on this journey to get fit at 45. The first 3 months were not easy. I battled food cravings, came to terms with my very real food addictions and overhauled my whole life. I went through weeks holed up in my…
The Perfect Diet: My Thoughts
Did you know that none of the longest lived people on the planet were vegetarians? Or that none of the longest lived people were actually Paleo? Crazy, right? How could this be? Surely one of these diets is the right diet for humans. I can promise you that there are people that will tell you that from both camps, and they’re both right. That settles it then. So glad you stopped by. Kidding. But seriously. The perfect diet. There’s even a video from the Paleo camp with that title, I believe. But no. It’s actually not. And neither is the vegetarian diet, or the fruit only diet, or the ketogenic diet, or…
Be awesome. Every. Single. Day.
