3 Comments

I am inspired, excited and delighted. Dr. Annabelle is rocking it.

Yes, there are improvements to be made but wonderful results are eye-popingly obvious.

I personally noticed the following:

  • 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.

From Victor “The Man” Magno

“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.

Simply leave the smog and heat of Manila behind as you enjoy the cool sea breeze as you travel to beautiful and historic Corregidor Island. The island is less than 90 minutes away and is a fun trip from the Mall of Asia area.

Corregidor Marathon Bye Manila

Good bye Manila and hello to the fresh air of Corregidor Island. It is breath-takingly beautiful. The race starts at 8am so you can stay over the previous night or even rock up on the day itself by catching the first ferry.

5 Most Popular Primed Restaurant Reviews for 2015

1. The Wholesome Table is Simply Awesome – 10/10

The food is always good and my children love their drinks.

I am also a fan of the owners Juan and Bianca Elizalde. They rock. You will not find white sugar or artery clogging vegetable oils on their premises. Why? Because they genuinely care for their customers and use coconut oil.

Love it that there is now a branch near us at Capitol Commons (as well as BGC and Salcedo Village).

Ronald is Primed and Loving It – His Family Too

2 Comments

Ronald rocks. He is a great family man with a big heart. I am so proud that the Primed Lifestyle is helping make this top man’s heart stronger. Oh, his brain too. Doubly proud that because of Ronald’s great decision his family is also getting healthier too.

I had a great lunch at The Wholesome Table with Trimac teammates Ron, Chloe and Emerson

Ronald Primed Ronald teammates

We ate no bread but kept the butter to add into our food. Of course we had real food and not fake food like bread, pasta, noodles and other sugar cheap carbs.

Ronald Primed 5

Here is a 12 Point Summary of What Ron Said

1. Ron researched Primed LCHF after sustaining an injury training for triathlons because he wanted to ensure he would not gain excess weight. Ron had previously mistakenly believed that he had to exercise a lot to maintain a healthy weight but was soon to learn differently.

Ron running

Here is some of the delicious real food Ron ate to lose weight and regain health.

2. Ron found his food to be very filling and satisfying. Hence, he was not hungry at all and ate less.

3. Ron’s Acid Reflux disappeared. Cool.

4. Ron lost weight despite not exercising at all.

5. Ron’s inspiration was his beautiful family. He is pictured here with his beautiful wife Romina. Ron started his Primed/LCHF journey in March 2015.
