Why Are So Many People Adopting a Primed Lifestyle?

April 20, 2015 chaddavis1primedforyourlife 31 Comments

I am ecstatic with the number of people worldwide who are adopting a healthier, Primed lifestyle.

In India, America, Australia and the Philippines, to name just a few countries, so many people are going Primed, and experiencing wonderful benefits for their health, family and life in general.

After adopting a Primed Lifestyle they become healthier. This then helps them become happier. Their sleep improves, their ailments become less, they get more energy, more mental clarity and they realize it is best to eat to live, rather than live to eat!

Here are 5 Reasons Why People are Adopting a Primed Lifestyle

1. You Eat Better Food

The Primed Lifestyle is simple. You eat higher quality food (not more expensive necessarily) so as to feed your mind and body optimally.

I gladly train you, your family and staff on how to cook nutritious and delicious food as part of my Wellness Coaching. Be warned though, once you start eating properly it is impossible to go back to eating the low quality stuff!

What have been your good deeds whilst running?

April 17, 2015 chaddavis1primedforyourlife 2 Comments

Ok, here is a slightly off-beat post on the benefits of running.

Yesterday I was having a nice chilly run in Geneve, Switzerland, when it started raining slightly. I love it when it rains as the run becomes more fun. However, the roads become wet and I noticed a motor cyclist fall off her bike on a slippery portion of the road whilst turning.

As soon as I saw her fall I sprung to action, helped her up, put her bike on its stand and got her a chair. I then helped calm her down and ensured she would be alright. Luckily she was ok with just dented pride and torn pants.

I am glad I am very observant whilst I run and got to help the fallen Swiss cyclist.

This got me thinking of the other times I have done good deeds whilst out running. I’ll share mine here in the hope you can also comment and share yours. After all, we runners are nice and caring people. Right?

“Primed” LCHF Aussie Cricketers on Top of the World

April 17, 2015 chaddavis1primedforyourlife 3 Comments

Congratulations to the Australian Cricket Team becoming the Champion One-Day Team in the World.

They did it with a large number of the team following the great advise of Dr. Peter Brukner who is a “Primed” Low Carb High Fat (LCHF) advocate for optimal sporting performance.

This is but the tip of the iceberg with many more individuals and teams already adopting, or going, Primed LCHF (including some major soccer teams).

High Fat and Low Carb (LCHF) for Better Performance – For your Sport, Work and Life

Cheap processed carbs can be extremely harmful for your body by increasing inflammation among other problems but complex carbohydrates are an excellent source of nutrition and fiber.

Saturated fats are an ideal fuel for your mind and body. Remember, your brain is 60% fat and mother’s milk is 50% fat. When you become a LCHF fat burner you have access to approximately 40,000 calories for energy compared with your sugar burning buddies (around 2,000).

Watch and listen to former high carb proponent Professor Tim Noakes give his mea culpa on youtube here.

Avocados are a wonderful source of good fats. Along with Coconut products it is one of the most sought after ingredients for people looking for nutrient dense ingredients to optimally feed their body and mind.

Avocados are delicious straight up, with balsamic vinegar & sea salt, and also as part of a dish with other quality ingredients such as cream cheese, pork, kale with anchovies and grilled cheese mushrooms.

Here is a delicious and filling Primed Smoothie named after my triathlon and trail running buddy Retzel Orquiza.

Power Breakfast for a Great Day

April 13, 2015 chaddavis1primedforyourlife 2 Comments

Breakfast is my most favorite meal of the day but is also good to have at lunchtime! If I am exercising in the morning I tend to do so in a fasted state and eat my breakfast somewhere between 9 and 11 am depending on when I finish training. So, I recommend to eat any of the items below at any time of the day, not just in the morning.

A good breakfast sets you up for a successful day so your body and brain get optimal nutrients.

For those people who say they don’t have time for breakfast we have some great recipes that take between 5 and 10 minutes to prepare.

Our Primed philosophy is to ensure every meal is nutrient dense with great vitamins and minerals, causes minimal inflammation, has a minimal effect on spiking your blood sugar levels, is filling, satisfying and tastes great.

Way to Go Primed Anna

April 10, 2015 chaddavis1primedforyourlife 3 Comments

Dear Anna, Thank you for sharing your story below. So far the Primed Lifestyle has helped to eliminate back pain, cure PCOS, cure Irritable Bowel Syndrome, lessened period pain and fixed a lot of stomach and bowel issues in people among other benefits.

Primed for your Life is committed helping people to become healthier by eating more nutritious, less inflammatory food. Keep up the great effort Anna as you are beautiful and your future will be wonderful. Cheers, Chad.

Dear Chad,

I have been living with Endometriosis pain for many years now. It is a chronic inflammatory auto-immune disease, the causes of which are still unclear to modern medicine. The theory is that every month the endometrial cells deposit in the reproductive organs instead of totally shedding through menstruation as is the way with normal cycles. This cause severe pain during my period and also during ovulation. Since it is a progressive disease, my pain has reached debilitating proportions and I have found myself contemplating surgery for a total hysterectomy. This is my next step since we have already exhausted all medical options.

Chad’s Melbourne Ironman: Swam, Biked & Ran on Fat

April 1, 2015 chaddavis1primedforyourlife 4 Comments

I just completed my 2nd Melbourne Ironman in a ketogenic state by consuming Primed low carbohydrate, high fat, moderate protein (LCHF) foods. This means I was burning my fat as fuel as opposed to glucose/sugar.

By being able to use my fat stores I was able to access 40,000 plus calories for energy. A glucose burner is limited to around 2,000 or so before they must replenish. The sugar burner then uses energy for digesting the food and as some of my Filipino buddies realized this can also lead to very unpleasant stomach issues. There were a lot of people in the medics tent after the Ironman suffering from Gastro Intestinal Distress.

It is a myth that the body and brains preferred fuel source is glucose and can only run on glucose.

Where is your Favorite Farmer’s Market?

April 1, 2015 chaddavis1primedforyourlife Leave a comment

My favorite thing to do whilst on holiday is to visit the local Farmer’s Market. Adelaide is famous for its Central Market, we loved the local Paris markets and those in Rome too. You can make great picnic items from the produce available at these markets.

The wonderful smells, the vibrant colors and the unique characters you meet add to our holiday experience.

We also love supporting local businesses who put extra love into their produce.

Primed Lifestyle, Reverse Type 2 Diabetes

Are You on the Road to Type-2 Diabetes or Good Health?

February 19, 2015 chaddavis1primedforyourlife Leave a comment

A lot of people have type-2 diabetes or have been diagnosed as pre-diabetic. An inordinate number of people in the US, Australia, India, China, the Philippines and many other countries have this terrible condition and that number will increase drastically over the next decade. The condition is not passed on through genetics but is because of the way people eat and sleep.

Most current, conventional treatment involves Low Fat, High Carb recommendations PLUS drugs and more exercise. Just one question. How’s that working out for us?

Here is how the current treatment is working in Australia:Within 5 years diabetes will be the biggest cause of death and illness in Australia.

Australia is doing about as well as the US and the Philippines.

Not all. This is from my Mum: “Hey I’m no longer diabetic boys, it can be done, just lost 10 kg’s, cut down on the amount of food you eat, fasting one day a week, it works. Hey Sean call, miss you. Mother.”
