Mariano Home-cooked Specialties in Iligan – a fabulous restaurant by a Cool Primed Family

Leave a comment

This is easily my favorite restaurant in Iligan City. Actually, my favorite in the whole of Mindanao.

The Ambiance

Love the full glass windows, mirrors and square tables where all people can talk easily to each other.

There is even a beautiful outdoor dining area. this is where the doctors were for a meeting and then my Primed Seminar which they enjoyed. They also loved the Primed Mariano Spaghetti Squash.

This restaurant is cozy and relaxing.

The Food

When you have fabulous chef owners in Doi Mariano and Avril Mariano you cannot go wrong. Four years in business is testimony to their quality.

Here’s the delicious 4-Course Primed menu they created.

I proudly (and nervously) was in charge of dessert. I told Dr. Victor and his doctor friends that if it is good then I made it. However, if they didn’t like it then Avril prepared it. Haha. They loved it. You beauty.

The Primed Mango Mousse was a winner. Especially when Avril’s chef added grated dark chocolate on top.

The Service

Avril Mariano is a charismatic and wonderful host. With an in-depth background in hospitality at places such as Makati Shangri-La I was not surprised that Avril’s staff were well-trained, profession and super friendly.

What I also loved is that their service crew are so sharp that they too have already started their Primed journey. That rocks and shows excellent intelligence.

The Guests

The people of Iligan City are very friendly. They are going Primed too and will be healtheir and happier. They will live longer, better lives.

The picture above is of some of the best pediatricians in the City. They are great docs with open-minds and were extremely receptive to the Primed lifestyle and protocols. They “got it” and are even applying the principles in their practices already.

Children cooking

The best thing we can do for our children is help them to maintain a stable blood glucose level within a normal range. Good health then follows. Baby steps to a healthier family/self include getting rid of fast food, avoiding teeth ruining soft drinks/juices/sports drinks, ditching cheap carbs (bread, pasta & noodles) in favor of nutrient dense vegetables and healthy fats and engaging a wellness coach to guide you. #Eatrealfood#HelpYourChildren #LowerCarbHigherHealthyFats#primedforyourlife

Primed food is real food to optimally nourish your brain and body. Grains, sugar, soy, veg oil and other highly processed stuff hurts you and your family. Nourish them with love and real food. #breadisdead#grainsequalsugar #sugarequalsinflammation#inflammationleadstodisease#100stafflost500kilosin80days #primedforyourlife#teachyourchildren #justeatrealfood #iligancity#marianoshomecookedspecialties

The Final Words from Juliet the morning after our Primed Mariano 4-course Dinner

“I woke up with so much energy today. I went walking, got some sunshine and started eating real food this morning. My 3 children are also very receptive to the change.”

Avril said: “Chad, you indeed helped another family to be healthy today. Thank you.”

Joanne from Paper Lens is loving her new Primed Lifestyle: “I never felt healthier, happier and content with what I eat.”

Leave a comment

I loved representing Apotheca Integrated Pharmacy and presenting at the Hunt & Gather Grandparents’ Day event.

 

What inspired me to catch the hot MRT from Ortigas to Glorietta instead of relaxing at home with my family? It was my passion to help Filipinos to live better, longer lives.

I KNOW Primed works (thousands worldwide know too) and want to share it with everyone so we can all be healthier and happier. Well, Joanne was working that day so could not really listen intently. However, after recording the show she listened, learned, implemented and improved her life and that of her family. That is why I love my job.

From Joanne Fugoso-Pajarillo:

“When you’re excited to watch what you’ve edited. 🙂”

Reply from Chad: “Thank you for returning the favor and inspiring me even further.

From Joanne Fugoso-Pajarillo:

“Hi Chad! I’m Joanne from Paper Lens. I recorded your talk at Hunt & Gather’s Grandparent’s event at Glorietta. I just want to thank you. One week before the event, I questioned my consumer practices- especially on food.

Since I was also shooting the highlights during your talk, I wasn’t able to listen to you the entire time. But my husband told me that you delivered nothing but real talk. 🙂 And he shared some of your tips.

I was very eager to listen to what you had to say. So right after finishing the exports of all my talks, I watched yours. And I’d like to say that just three days after I ditched rice, bread, pasta and noodles and ate real food, I never felt healthier, happier and content with what I eat.

Immediately (although not visually pa) I felt so much lighter – it was easier to move, easier to work, easier to negotiate with my 3 year old daughter. I feel stronger.

I didn’t have my usual back pains and head aches and other body aches.

I thought before that it was natural to feel weaker.

Salamat, Chad. It was really helpful.”

Primed Jen Has No More Headaches or Dysmenorrhea. She Has More Energy & Confidence.

Leave a comment

Once Primed you lose quite a few things. Examples include:

  • lethargy;
  • headaches;
  • dysmenorrhea;
  • insomnia;
  • hunger;
  • medications; and
  • forgetfulness!

Once Primed you gain a lot. Examples include:

  • Energy;
  • Mental clarity;
  • Skin quality;
  • Stronger nails;
  • Better oral health;
  • Freedom from hunger;
  • More savings because you are not supporting fake food companies by buying their carbage;
  • Sexier body (it is not about weight, it is about body shape and feel);
  • Better menstrual functioning;
  • Better outlook on life; and
  • A lot more confidence.

Meet Jen, the talented and pretty staff of Primed Johan and Jequi.

Mt Labo E and D Corp Cooking23 Jennifer

Jen was suffering from headaches, poor sleep, poor skin, dysmenorrhea (painful periods), lack of confidence, lack of energy and lack of a positive outlook.

In summary, Jen was not looking great and she was not feeling great either.

So, what changed?

These things changed in Jen’s life:

  1. She decided that she was sick of being sick and tired of being tired;
  2. Jen has tremendous support from her super cool Primed bosses Johan and Jequi;Johan and Jequi
  3. Jen had a wellness coach who really cares for her well-being and continually reminder her that she could improve her life. Oh, he also knows the right way to improve your life (shameless plug); Jen 1
  4. Jen then changed her habits;
  5. Jen ate more eggs, Filipino vegetables, cheese, coconut products and other real food;

  6. Jen ditched these carbage things (cannot call it food unfortunately);
  7. Jen’s brain improved by eating real food and she no longer craved carbage disease like agents that were clearly harming her body and brain;
  8. Once Jen got over her sugar addiction she craved even more proper food;
  9. Once Jen looked and felt better then she really knew that most of what we have been told is total bs. Myths like avoiding the sun are incorrect. The belief that you need to exercise more is false. Jen finally knows what is right for her given her current state of health and environment. Cool. Dane 1Jen b&a
  10. Jen will not go backwards now she has come so far forward. Johan, Jequi, Chad and her own brain will see to that.

Primed Mariano Family Thriving in Iligan City

There is nothing better than helping people. Nothing.

Happy helps someone

However, to help others you MUST help yourself and get your life and health  in order first.

The Mariano family is a wonderful example. Avril, Doi, April, Estelle, Noelle, Dr. Victor and Belen are all committed to their Primed Lifestyle. They are determined to help themselves but equally determined to help others. That is MAGIC.

From Avril: “I’m happy to say that everyone in my family is more committed now in following the program.”

What Avril said about our Primed Mariano 4-course dinner on Monday July 11th: 

“The ones who attended cant stop talking about it
And slowly started adapting to introducing real food in their diet.  A lot has asked when you are coming back and if we will do another dinner 😉
I must say, you have brought so much awareness and change to the families of those who attended. Thank you.”

Amazing Primed transformation by Martin Ledesma. Proud of you mate.

“Hi Chad!

Below are bullet points of my Primed Lifestyle journey.
If I remember it correctly it was the 14th of April when you visited us at Malandag, Sarangani and introduced us to the Primed lifestyle. I weighed about 9.5kgs/21 lbs heavier back then.

-The first two weeks were challenging as my body was just starting to get used very minimal carbohydrate and sugar intake. I felt tired most of the time and had little energy.
-As soon as I got to adjust with my new eating habits, I was able to totally get rid of sugar and bad carbos (bread, pasta & noodles) in my diet. I felt more energized and there was mental clarity.

Top 7 Ways to Avoid Sub-optimal “Food” Options

Leave a comment

Have you ever been too busy to eat properly so you grab some fast food, a fruit juice drink or an energy bar?

Well, you just made a bad situation worse by choosing the easy, most convenient option. That decision to eat nutrient deficient food will actually make you hungrier when your sugar crashes soon after eating or drinking what I call carbage.

Sugar coaster

There is an easy solution to your time poor dilemma.

When you eat optimally in a great environment then you will have Top . Yes, your food and your environment is that important.

Here’s My Top 7 Ways to Avoid Bad Food Decisions

  1. Eat a Great Breakfast like 5 organic virgin coconut oil fried eggs, a side of kimchi, some sardines in olive oil and a black coffee or tea. Would you be hungry after eating this Primed breakfast? How do you feel when you eat sugar food like pandesal, pancit, breakfast cereal etc.? It does fill you up and satisfy you. Eat quality nutrition and you will be more satisfied and not make yourself hungry. My record for eating eggs is 20. My cholesterol is excellent.

RUPM Eggs

2. Plan Ahead and bring some bananas, nuts, cans of sardines etc. with you when travelling. So, you are less hungry from a huge breakfast but if you do get hungry you have some healthy supplies. It is easy when you think ahead.
