Primed Curried Vegetables in Coconut Milk

October 8, 2015 chaddavis1primedforyourlife Leave a comment

I used to eat pasta but now I would never eat pasta again because it is such a highly processed nutrient deficient frankenfood. I prefer real food with real flavor that offers more nutrients to better help my mind and body, keep my blood sugars constant and help build my immune system.

Instead of GMO pasta made from the seeds of grasses you can substitute it with cabbage. Here are a few variations of Primed Cabbage “pasta” dishes.

Ingredients

Can include any of the following:

Cabbage (one or two heads of cabbage)
Onions
Garlic
Ginger
Chili
Turmeric
Coconut milk or cream
Coconut oil
Salt and pepper
Assorted greens

Optional

Green and red chils
Cucumber
Bacon
Chicken
Red curry paste
Fried eggs

Have fun with your ingredients and you can make many variations for your Primed Cabbage Dish like Rebekah Brandauer Jackson Did:

“A Chinese twist on Coconut Cabbage (from Chad Davis) we served it with smoked chicken and garnished with fried chicken skin ~ 12 grams of carbs. My 16 year old daughter had seconds.” From Rebekah Brandauer Jackson. Thanks Rebekah.

Podium at Run United Philippine Marathon with the Primed Lifestyle

October 7, 2015 chaddavis1primedforyourlife Leave a comment

I achieved my first ever running trophy a mere 6 days after my 47th birthday. Yippie. I had fun at the Run United Philippine Marathon and managed 2nd place for the Foreign Category! I did not know there was one but happy there was.

I ran my marathon in 3:56 or so and was happy seeing I started with slightly tired legs from using my stand up desk too much on Friday (rookie mistake) as I prepared for my La Salle school Primed presentation.

Pre-Race Nutrition

I ensured I ate lots of eggs with some cream cheese, nuts, kimchi, green veg and coconut oil in the lead up to the marathon. I even had a double shot of Olive Oil. Delicious.

I definitely avoided all grains of course, had no sugar in fruit etc. and tracked my blood sugar so it was 4.2 mmol/L (76 mg/dl) at midnight before the 2am race start. I wanted to ensure I was in full fat burning mode for the race. I did not test my ketones but I am guessing they would have been relatively high.

Of course I wanted to have access to my 50,000 calorie fat tank and not a tiny 2,000 calorie sugar tank.

The Primed Secret on How to Get Abs!

October 5, 2015 chaddavis1primedforyourlife 1 Comment

We all have abs. Some abs are simply hidden behind the flabs. Haha.

The way to get abs is not through endless chronic cardio. That will absolutely give you fatigue as you constantly elevate your cortisol levels.

It is best to spend more time in the kitchen making real food meals then you might see your abs come out.

So, how did Ghia get abs?

“I got them through some high intensity exercise but mainly through eating real food and no longer being scared of quality fats like olive oil and coconut oil. Franz and I try and eat real food and avoid sugars, grains and definitely vegetable oil.”

Reujen went Primed on February 5th and turned flabs to abs with less training and more eating.

“I couldn’t believe it. I thought Chad was trying to sabotage me. Haha. But I had a lot of virgin coconut oil, green veg and eggs. Even lechon. Then wham, welcome abs. I train less now but am healthier and stronger than ever. And I have abs.”

Are You Dressed to Kill: Limit Using Your Bra and Perhaps Limit Your Chance of Breast Cancer

October 2, 2015 chaddavis1primedforyourlife Leave a comment

“The Philippines has the highest incidence of breast cancer in Southeast Asia. Breast cancer is also one of the leading causes of death among Filipino women. Most women with breast cancer have no known risk factors except that they are women. So no one should be exempt from being vigilant.” From I Can Sere foundation.

I believe it is false that the causes of breast cancer are unknown. Hopefully we might learn that ladies could limit their chances with smarter (or no) bra wearing, avoiding soy products, finding better alternatives to mammograms and building your immune system through optimal nutrition.

Please listen to this great podcast. Important for men too.

Please also listen to this regarding the big business of cancer: http://www.bewellbuzz.com/podcast/business-of-cancer/

Cultural genetic disease means we accept what’s normal without questioning it. It is embedded in who we are and how we think as a culture. Well, it is time to question all the information we have been fed and told. Remember the medical industry and drug companies profit greatly from our disease.

95% of all cancers are caused by environmental factors

Chad’s Sick then Fat Food and Exercise in 2013 compared with Healthy and Fit 2015

September 25, 2015 chaddavis1primedforyourlife 1 Comment

I was once a sick, then fat, athlete. I was training too much (up to 25 hours per week) with a misguided formula to be fit and healthy.

I was eating the Standard Australian Diet (SAD) with lots of “healthy whole grains” (there is no such thing) and fueling my exercise with the sugarades, sugar gels and the carbo loading (sugar bread, pasta and noodles) that my fellow athletes were also doing (not the smarter ones though like Jenson Button).

Below is how I looked like with all my excessive cardio (cost of time, money, mental energy, sleep, recovery etc.). I have also included what were then my favorite food.

I was not healthy, vital or as happy as I should have been. I suffered from brain fog, lack of energy and sometimes bad skin.

Now I train a maximum of 6 hours per week on average, eat according to the Primed Lifestyle and have more energy and mental clarity than I ever imagined.

Delicious and Nutritious Primed Beef & Chicken Meatloaf

September 8, 2015 chaddavis1primedforyourlife 1 Comment

My darlings loved their The Wholesome Table Meatloaf so much. It was so big that they even had the left-overs the following day for lunch. I successfully made my own Primed Meatloaf that they enjoyed for dinner and in their lunch box. See this article for some other Primed lunch box ideas.

Ingredients:

500 grams chicken mince
500 grams beef mince
3 onions
2 knobs of garlic (around 20 cloves)
2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons of chili flakes
3 eggs
1 & 1/2 cups of coconut flour
250 grams of feta cheese
100 grams of smashed pistachios (optional/can also use other nuts like cashews)
salt and pepper
coconut oil
olive oil

Additional: can add oregano leaves, malunggay leaves or other greens for additional vitamins and minerals

Remember, it is so easy to make your own coconut flour and is far superior to using harmful products like breadcrumbs.

Wooden Spoon is a Must Visit at Kapitolyo & Rockwell

September 3, 2015 chaddavis1primedforyourlife 1 Comment

I am glad that I have been well served in Wooden Spoon and also positively impacted one of their staff and the staff members family.

“I first met Arnold from Wooden Spoon in Rockwell late last year while he was buying asthma meds for his daughter Hannah.

I explained the Primed way of reversing it and Hannah is now asthma free. After spending tens of thousands on meds they no longer need to. Hannah can now thrive as all children deserve to. That’s Primed.”

#livelongerlivebetter�� #primednutritionfeedsyourbrain #primedreversesasthma

Having just moved into the Pasig area late in 2015 we went searching for a nice restaurant in the area. It was past 2:30pm and most had closed their doors already. Luckily I phoned a friend in the area and he recommended Wooden Spoon in Kapitolyo. Great suggestion Primed Mike Yau. Thanks.
