Is ADHD Short for “A Diet Highly Disruptive”?

1 Comment

Graduation from Pembroke College was 30 years ago for me but in many respects it seems like only yesterday.  I still maintain great friendships with Bill Brummitt, Andrew Wallace and Sean Williams among others from that time. One name I never forgot was Cecily Aldersly (now Dunn).

We were mates. In a time of school yard uncertainty her friendship was a constant and I never forgot Cecily despite losing track of each other. On the occasion of our 30 year graduation reunion I decided to track down my young buddy and am so pleased I did.

I’ll let Cecily tell the rest of the story of her whole family becoming healthier and her son Harry no longer having ADHD.:

From Cecily Dunn

“Hi Chad – I know I’ve been quiet but we are all still very Primed – kids are Excellent!

All 3 children are so different from what they were like just 4 months ago.

They all brought home very impressive school reports largely due to the renewed clarity, energy and the evenness in temperament – they can now sit through the most boring double maths/history lesson and not fall asleep/act up/switch off/get sent to time out!!!!

Harry (11) comes home and immediately does home work – no whinging  for food!!! He was 2 years behind year level and supposedly dyslexic and ADHD, in the last 12 months we have made diet changes but going Primed in the last few months has created a completely new kid. Also he had now lost 10kgs (!!!) has found his schoolwork is easier and has so much energy. He wasn’t obese by any means but he’s a lean, focused and energetic individual these days… they all are!

  • Looks at least 10 to 15 years younger;
  • Glowing skin;
  • More vibrancy in her eyes and demeanor; and
  • Confidence in the Primed program and knows her next steps for continued improvements.

Dr. Annabelle said:

  • A lot more energy;
  • Improved sleep;
  • Less aches and pains;
  • Constant blood sugar levels of less than 100 (means less inflammation);
  • Happier with peace of mind regarding her nutrition;
  • No rice at all but needs to totally eliminate grains which she finds addictive;
  • People are noticing her increased zest for life;
  • People commenting that she looks very healthy; and
  • Her memory is improving. Wow. That’s huge.
  • Oh, also building her immune system to better fight disease and illness.

 

I am dedicating this Primed Annabelle Green Smoothie to Annabelle. She ROCKS.

It is not always about the before and after picture. Yes, it is nice to see the physical changes and maybe even get a 6-pack.

Abs Primed

However, more important is your metabolic six-pack, how you feel personally and your state of mind. Do not worry about the scales and concentrate on how your food makes you feel.
In just 7 days Tess does not have a 6-pack nor even a metabolic six-pack.
But what she now has is a brighter and healthier future. That’s HUGE. Oh, the metabolic six-pack will come soon enough. Especially seeing Tess is letting food be her medicine.

“What was just a simple forwarded article is turning out to be more than that. Ok fine. Let me share with you then what I’ve been doing to keep my weight down:

First things first. I used to think that since I am a triathlete all my training should keep my weight down right and my tummy tight, right? Wrong! The technique will not go away. The 100 klms long ride cannot and will not burn the KFC double down you had for lunch. 2 days ago.

Jenel is an MMA World Title Champion on the Primed Lifestyle

1 Comment

I first met Jenel last December, just a few short weeks before his MMA World Title fight on January 16th 2016.

MMA Primed talk

We discussed the Primed Lifestyle with the whole team and how it would aid their recovery, improve performance and longevity in their chosen sport. We discussed how we would help them switch over from burning sugar to burning fat.

I explained how they would become fat burning machines with 50,000 calories of stored energy compared to tiny tank sugar burners with a teeny weeny 2,000 calories! Sugar also causes inflammation and can lead to disease. Grains equal sugar in your body.

It is a highly nutritious, inexpensive and easy meal you can  prepare in minutes. It is also a meal you can have whilst travelling seeing you simply assemble the ingredients without any cooking involved.

Please see the Primed youtube recipe below and a typed recipe below that.

 

A Primed Lifestyle is about eating optimally to maximize the nutrition for better mind and body performance.

It is also vitally important to ensure your food and beverage does not cause inflammation in your body and that you support and promote healthy gut bacteria.

Here is a power breakfast (suitable for lunch and dinner too) that is a perfect combination of energizing and satisfying saturated fat, protein and gut healthy probiotics. You can add roasted squash, spinach, avocado, cucumber and carrot batons if you wish to add healthy carbohydrates.

The reason the Primed Lifestyle is simple and easily maintained (eventually) is that it is not expensive, can be done any where, tastes great and you can maintain it for the rest of your life.
