That Paleo Show Podcast featured Primed for your Life

June 19, 2015 chaddavis1primedforyourlife 3 Comments

Dreams do come true. Ever since creating the Primed for your Life Lifestyle in late 2013/early 2014 I dreamed about being on That Paleo Show podcast. The reason is because That Paleo Show was instrumental in getting me from being a “fatish”, unhealthy triathlete/person into a healthier one.

I will be forever grateful for the passionate, real food advocates who enlightened me on how to optimally nourish my mind and body. It then inspired me to follow in their footsteps and share my knowledge so as to help even more people.

Please listen to Primed for your Life being featured on That Paleo Show #121 with Chad Davis and Reujen Lista talking about the Primed Lifestyle.

Reujen and I loved doing the podcast with Dr. Brett Hill, Steve Hayter and Sarah Stewart. We had a blast and hope you have a laugh and also learn a bit as well.

Primed Chewy Green Smoothie

June 17, 2015 chaddavis1primedforyourlife Leave a comment

This great Primed Chewy Smoothie is in honor of Chewy. He is the cute dog pictured below. Just looking at him makes you smile.

I named it Primed Chewy Smoothie because the only way you can “drink” it is to chew. It is actually delicious with a creamy coconut finish that is made even better knowing how well I am feeding my body and mind. I had my Primed Chewy Green Smoothie before a lunch meeting with a potential Corporate Wellness client because I wanted the nutrition to better fuel my positive energy and thoughts.

Remember that for proper digestion you must chewy your food well.

Wheat baby! The Painful Condition of Accidentally Eating Grains/Gluten Once Off It

June 15, 2015 chaddavis1primedforyourlife 3 Comments

The Primed Lifestyle is about eating real, nutritious food to optimally feed your body and brain. GMO, highly processed foods should not be part of a healthy lifestyle as they cause inflammation, spike blood sugars and insulin (those promoting early aging) and are addictive appetite stimulating “poison” that humans and many animals (such as your dog) are poorly adapted to digesting.

Once you give up grains/wheat you CANNOT go back because once the “poison” is out of your system your body will react badly if this “poison” is reintroduced. This is surely proof positive that these grains are “poison” to your system.

My wonderfully slim and fit Primed client’s wife accidentally had gluten in some Thai food and her normally tight and terrific tummy became 3 months “pregnant” with a “wheat baby”.

I personally got intense stomach cramps when I had just a tablespoon of cous cous. Never again.

From the wonderful facebook page of Dr. William Davis called Wheat Belly (named after his NY Times best seller):

Stacey couldn’t resist and wanted to see what would happen when she re-exposed herself to wheat/grains after being free of them. Look what happened! See featured image above.

“I’ve been 100% grain-free for about a month and I did something stupid and tested the before and after results. I’m appalled and amazed at how bloated a little wheat made me. These pictures were taken 15 mins apart!

160km Ultra Marathon on Olive Oil & Nuts – Well Done Primed Low Carb Champion Rose

June 8, 2015 chaddavis1primedforyourlife 5 Comments

Primed for your Life is what Rose Betonio is. Not only did she win her 160km ultra marathon on olive oil and nuts (no processed carbs at all) but Rose was fully recovered by the following day (except for sore lips) when her competitors were still sore and limping.

The reason Primed/Paleo/LCHF/Wheat Belly Lifestyle is on everyone’s lips at the moment is because so many people want to be healthier and are realizing that there is no magic pill, no healing potion and not even running ultra marathons will get you healthy. Sometimes doing too much exercise makes things worse.

However, in the case of running machine Rose Betonio she found a good food formula to augment her love of running.

Rose’s new Primed Lifestyle allows Rose to run fast, recover faster and still be a healthy, dynamic and energetic person with a killer smile!

The Primed for your Life Lifestyle is basically a delicious recipe of paleo real food principles, Mark Sisson’s Primal Blueprint, Lower Carb with Higher Healthy Fat/LCHF together with the Wheat Belly Lifestyle where individuals discover what real food ingredients work best for them whilst avoiding modern toxins like grains, sugar and veg oil.

What Color is the Best Skin for Running?

June 6, 2015 chaddavis1primedforyourlife Leave a comment

The best color skin for running is the one you are wearing.

Be happy, confident and proud of the skin you were born with.

Too many people want what they don’t have. A lot of white people want to be brown and brown people want to be white. Crazy stuff.

You are beautiful just as you are because true beauty is in your smile, your character, your confidence and your ability to love and receive love.

Love yourself.

You need to love yourself to love others.

Bring love and positivity into your life and say the following sentences to yourself daily: “I am happy.” “I am prosperous.” “I am healthy.”

Surround yourself with good fiends who are also positive and who have similarly healthy thoughts and habits.

Today’ post was inspired by a beautiful lady with a beautiful soul. Thank you Clof.

Traveling Primed Without Getting Fat – 11 Cool Hints to Avoid Bagel Butt

Have Holiday Fun Without Getting Fat

Holiday excess! Two words we do not like at all. We all usually come home with excess baggage around our butts and waistlines from our holiday excesses. This is a usual occurrence after a great vacation where we return heavier than we left due to over-eating and drinking, and not getting enough exercise and/or sleep. Once you are leading your Primed Lifestyle it becomes easier to maintain as you will love the way you feel.

One of my favorite ways to stay motivated on a holiday is to bring a great healthy habits reading book like Wheat Belly from NY Times best seller Dr. William Davis and Keto Clarity from Mr Cool Jimmy Moore from Livin’ La Vida Low Carb Show.

Here are a few other hints on how to have a great Primed holiday that could leave you a little lighter in body, enriched in mind, and save you some cash as well.

Filipino Recipes

Primed Filipino Sisig Rated 6 Stars

June 3, 2015 chaddavis1primedforyourlife Leave a comment

I have a confession to make. Despite living in the Philippines for the last 15 years I don’t know how to speak Tagalog, I have never tried Balut (embryo in an egg shell) and I had never even contemplated eating Filipino Pig’s Ear Sisig. Indeed, even if you paid me I probably would not have touched it, let alone eaten it.

Well, all that has changed now and I am a fan of Primed Sisig. Of course I had to tweak the traditional Filipino version to make it healthier with added vegetable and coconut amino sauce instead of the highly processed GMO soy sauce traditionally used.

Is Primed Sisig good? Nope. It’s not good. It’s great. I love it but more importantly Jincky, our helper, loved it.

I also sought a second opinion from Myra and Bill and their 4 boys. They gave it 6 stars!

Quote from Bill: “We all love the Primed Sisig. Personally I love it with the right spice.”

Primed Chicken Parmagiana with Zucchini Noodles

May 29, 2015 chaddavis1primedforyourlife Leave a comment

Chicken Parmagiana is an Australian favorite. We used to love ours with fries when we were younger. Vegetable oil soaked fries are potentially deadly so we avoid those, but our whole family still loves chicken topped with home-made tomato, onion & garlic sauce with grilled cheese. What’s not to love about that?
