6 Top Shelf Primed Cravings Busters

Leave a comment

We all get cravings for foods that we know are not optimal for the health of our mind and body. That is normal and expected. Hence, let’s combat those urges head on with some Primed Cravings Busters.

From my Melbourne Ironman buddy Samantha Louise: Thanks Primed for your Life and Chad Davis craving of comfort sweet again satisfied with your famous Primed Banana Pancakes!

LondonBananaPancakes

Banana Pancakes rock as a snack as you can make a big batch of 50 and leave it in the fridge for breakfast, snacks or even dinner.

Banana pancakes w coconut flour

If you are on a budget then make your own coconut flour instead of Almond meal/flour.

5 Other Great Primed Cravings Busters

1. Primed Cheese and Tomato Omelette or Primed Kimchi Omelette

These beauties tastes great cold or you can just re-fry it in butter so as to soak extra quality fat into it. Yum. Remember, fat makes you skinny whilst low-fat and grains make you sick, hangry and stimulate your appetitie to eat more of these GMO non-foods. See how to make an omelette the French way here.

2. Boiled Eggs Rock

10 Reasons You Don’t Need To Do An Ironman Triathlon

2 Comments

I confess that as a four time Ironman and many time marathoner I enjoy doing these extreme activities. I enjoy the training, the camaraderie involved with my fellow competitors and especially the feeling as I cross the finish line. I also enjoy reliving the memories and using that for mental strength when times get tough.

I know that this type of activity is not for everyone and it is not necessary to be so extreme to be happy and healthy. Indeed, doing these activities sometimes leads to burnout and damage to your health if you push yourself too hard (using pain killing drugs) and train too much.

To be fit and healthy a lot of people believe that exercise is just 20% of the equation. Nutrition (the 4th discipline of triathlon) is around 80%. Sleep, sunshine, your state of mind and stress are also important factors in your health.

Here are 10 Reasons Not To Do An Ironman to be Fit, Vital and Healthy

1. It Takes Lot of Time

Training for an Ironman can involve a lot of training and dedication which does take up a lot of your time. I have successfully completed my past 2 Ironman events on less than 10 hours training per week so you do not have to train excessively to finish.

The excessive time spent training could well be time you could have spent with your family, reading a good book, relaxing with friends or working on improving your mind and body more effectively.

Some great books to read include Keto Clarity by Jimmy Moore and Dr. Eric Westman, Wheat Belly by Dr. William Davis and Grain Brain by David Perlmutter M.D.

Ironwoman Berns Tan Personal Best by 1 hour plus with a Primed Lifestyle

1 Comment

One of my idols is Berns Tan. A wonderfully talented lady who smashed her Ironman personal best by more than 1 hour after adopting the Primed for your Life/Wheat Belly/LCHF lifestyle.

So, how did Berns go from a 13:17:58 Ironman Malaysia on September 27th 2014 to a 12:15:15 Ironman Taiwan on April 12th less than 7 months later?

Berns adopted the Primed Lifestyle which is very similar to the Wheat Belly Lifestyle of Dr. William Davis where grains, sugar, processed foods and vegetable oils are eliminated in favor of more nutritious, real foods that do not spike your blood sugars nor cause inflammation.

It is all about optimally fueling your mind and body.

Berns Tan Ironman4

Questions and Answers with Ironwoman Berns Tan

What were the main reasons for you smashing one hour off your Ironman personal best?

★ I was able to shed off 3-4lbs of body weight even when I was eating my favorite food – meat. However, like you said, not too much meat but less cheap carbs (like bread, pasta, rice, noodles, white potatoes) and more quality fats like olive and coconut oil.

How was your energy during Ironman Taiwan?

★ Sustained energy all throughout the race. I only needed a quarter of the amount of energy gel (Home-made Primed of course) that I took on my previous full Ironman in Malaysia. I even walked 5km to my hotel after the race 😉

How was your recovery?

Mailyn Janette Lucas Leyeza

Mailyn looks amazing.

Glowing skin, increased confidence, more energy, better mental clarity, less aches and pains and looking simply stunning. Congratulations Mailyn. I didn’t mention weight loss because that is merely a side benefit compared to increased energy, happiness and peace of mind now being enjoyed by Mailyn.

The best part is the wonderful example she is setting to her three children, other family and friends. What a tremendous role model for healthy living.

Butter Re-Fried Primed Omelette for Better Health and Weight Loss

3 Comments

Here is one of my favorite Primed egg recipes that you can prepare ahead of time to make your life easier. A lack of planning and forethought are usual reasons for taking a poor nutrition option. This way you are better prepared for life’s food challenges.

You can cook several Primed Omelettes with many Primed ingredients and simply re-fry in delicious butter the following day. Remember, quality fat makes you healthy and highly processed grains, sugar and vegetable oil make you unhealthy! Please see here for other items that are perfect to always have stocked in your fridge.

Here’s how my newly Primed client Etta described her re-fried Primed Omelette: “Delicious! I was so excited to wake up and have breakfast today. I felt so full and satisfied right up until lunch. Amazing. Thanks Chad.”

Ingredients:

Primed for your Life Refried Omelette
