Dan’s More Nutrients, Less Toxins Diet

Obesity, cancer, and chronic disease has exploded in the past few decades including the doubling of obesity and tripling of diabetes.

These increases correlate with two changes. (1) The mass introduction of novel food ingredients and additives to the American diet. (2) The marketing efforts by the US government, the medical establishment and the food industry to demonize meat and promote toxic foods.

I believe the cure is to replace novel and toxic foods with nutrient dense foods.

Removing ALL toxins is impossible. The goal of my diet is to prioritize nutrient dense foods while removing the vast majority of toxins.

Maybe I should eat more nutrients and less toxins to see if I feel better.

Maybe I should worry more about how I feel than my LDL cholesterol level.

Dan’s advanced diet cult pledge of allegiance and assimilation. This can be a terrifying concept so find a local support group to help you navigate your longer, leaner and more active life without your gut and illnesses.

Summary in Order of Importance

  • Prioritize the healthiest most nutrient dense food – animal fat and meat.
    Eat as much as want whenever you want.
  • Never eat seed oils. Cook with butter, ghee or beef tallow.
  • Drink clean water
  • Use clean salt
  • Replace concentrated processed white sugar with sparingly little natural sugars. Splurge on your anniversary or while courting your future wife.
  • Eat in-season whole flora with limited pesticides. Eliminate if you still feel sick and reintroduce to identify what flora toxins you can and cannot eat.
  • Apply toxin free products to your body and hair.
  • Eliminate plastic toxins from kitchen.
  • Reduce plastic clothes. Definitely the last thing you worry about.

Meat is Medicine

Always eat more animal fat and meat. “Meat is Medicine” is Dr. Philip Ovadia’s quotable advice. If you only make one change, do this.

Ruminant animal fat and meat like beef, lamb, bison and venison are the most nutrient dense foods a human can eat. The qualify of the food ruminant animals eat is not critical because their stomachs “clean” the food they eat.

Monogastric animal fat and meat such as chicken, pork and fish is riskier because what they eat is directly passed on to you. Additionally, many food manufacturers inject these meats with dozens of chemicals. Consume the highest quality monogastric animal fat and meat you can afford. Avoid farmed seafood.

Humans only require water, salt, fat and meat to be healthy. Top priority is to verify you are drinking clean water, using clean salt and buying the best animal fat and meat you can afford.

WATER: Get a reverse osmosis machine or water distiller. Use this water for cooking, drinking and ice cubes. I bought an Aquatru Carafe. Hard water must be softened before adding to a reverse osmosis machine. Best gravity filter for power outages is ZeroWater.

SALT: Use Diamond Crystal salt from St. Clair Michigan. It is the purest salt and free of heavy metals.

Reduce Toxic Foods

SEED OIL TOXINS: Eliminate ALL intake of seed oils. These include: soy, corn, canola, cottonseed, rapeseed, grapeseed, sunflower, safflower, rice bran, sesame and peanut. Seed oils are in nearly every dish served at restaurants and in nearly every “food” at grocery stores. Avoiding them requires commitment.

Seed oils are the single most processed food on the planet. Proctor and Gamble invented Crisco, the first seed oil, in 1911 and its use has expanded ever since. Seed oils can only be made in a factory through a multi-step process involving solvent extractions and be degummed, neutralized, bleached and finally deodorized. During manufacturing the seed oils are heated to around 500° which turns the crude oil rancid. Eating this rancid oil is not possible because our nose triggers a recoil response. To bypass our natural defenses seed oil manufacturers devised a process to deodorize their rancid oil as part of the final manufacturing phase.

This is just one of seed oil’s many highly disturbing realities. I added a link to the best video I have found detailing the history and harm of seed oils. Watch it. Do your own research. Never eat seed oils again.

Replace all cooking oils with beef tallow, ghee and butter. Eat all the fried foods you want if using these oils.

Use avocado and olive oils for non-hot purposes like sauces and flavorings. Buy single press single origin oils only.

UC Davis tested 54 processed foods which claim to use 100% avocado oil and found that only 6 of them were honest. This study seems legit so I assume 90% of food manufacturers lie about their ingredients. I limit purchases to whole foods, research every product and never blame myself when I get conned.

SUGAR TOXINS: My current findings is that Americans eat far too much concentrated white processed sugar causing sickness and obesity. Solution is to replace white processed sugar with sparingly little natural minimally processed sugar.

Unlike seed oils, sugar occurs naturally and in reasonable doses I don’t see it causing harm.

Processing sugar started around 350 AD and has been refined ever since. That makes it roughly 1,676 year old and clearly not novel. Today’s process requires a disturbing amount of chemicals and bleaches. I consider white processed sugar as relatively acceptable in small doses.

The final product is a concentrated form of sugar that doesn’t occur naturally and can overload our natural ability to process when consumed in high volume.

I don’t see any benefit or reason to eat processed white sugar. Replace it with minimally processed and natural sugars like raw honey, maple syrup and muscovado sugar (partially refined cane sugar aka Khandsari or Barbados sugar).

MAN-MADE TOXINS: Eliminate ALL intake of novel chemical food additives that have been approved through the US GRAS system. GRAS stands for Generally Recognized As Safe. These chemicals are added to our food with no oversight or testing.

Simplest solution is to download and use the Bobby Approved app to identify and avoid both GRAS and anything else that is or could be toxic.

Also stop using cleaning, skin care and hair care products containing man-made toxins. Bobby Approved app has you covered there as well.

RFK claims the American foods contain roughly 10,000 chemicals while European foods contain 400. AI estimates the number of GRAS approved chemicals as somewhere between 1,000 and 4,000. Whatever the number is I don’t want any of these untested, novel or lab created chemicals in my food.

Chick Fil-A’s grilled chicken patty is injected and coated with 46 ingredients. Their buns contain 61 ingredients. I will happily eat Chick-Fil-A again when they reduce their ingredients for their grilled chicken patty to chicken and spices and their bun has under 10 natural ingredients such as water, yeast, flour, salt and fat. 12 ingredients is sufficient, 107 is outrageous.

PLASTIC TOXINS: Eliminate the vast majority of plastic toxins. Nothing hot that has touched plastic should go in your body. Plastic contains over 16,000 chemicals which can leach into food. This breakdown of plastic occurs at a molecular level and rises exponentially with temperature. Leaching starts at 77° with rapid release starting at 122°. Even a water bottle left in a warm car for a few hours becomes toxic. High quality food grade silicone rubber leaches chemicals at temperatures over 300°. Throw away anything plastic used to store or process hot foods or drinks such as non-stick pans, cutting boards, bowls, cups, coffee makers and spatulas. Eliminate take out food delivered in plastic or plastic coated paper packaging. Eliminate metal canned food. The interior of metal cans are coated with plastic, sealed with food, and heated in a process called retort sterilization.

Additionally, eliminate any plastic that could be scratched by other utensils such as cutting boards and mixing bowls.

Plastic likely leaches toxins into food at all temperatures. Eliminating heated and scratched plastic is doable and beneficial. Eliminating all food and fluid contact with plastic is nearly impossible and arguably pointless at low temperatures because the leaching is undetectable.

Wearing plastic clothes (polyester, nylon, acrylic, spandex etc) to the gym or in hot weather is a legitimate concern as leaching will occur through the skin. While I have not committed to telling women to stop wearing spandex to the gym, all, or at least most, of my new clothes will be natural fibers.

NATURAL TOXINS: All flora contain natural defense compounds. Reduce or eliminate intake of these toxins, especially vegetables and grains (grass seeds). These toxins can cause any number of mental or physical ailments from depression to death. Fruits contain limited toxins and are generally safe to consume especially when ripe but clean all thin skinned fruits to reduce pesticides.

Natural toxins are stubbornly unpredictable. I used to eat all flora except green peppers because I subconsciously picked them off my pizza. I know dozens of people that similarly refuse to eat raw tomatoes but love them cooked. My friend loves mangos but breaks out in rashes if she touches its rind. Another friend cured her arthritis by giving up grains. Others could die if they eat nuts. Mikhaila Peterson was bedridden from joint deterioration and depression and would have died had she not been cured through a strict lion diet. Everyone is special and unique just like your mom promised. Natural toxins can do anything to your mind and body. If you are sick or not feeling 100% in any way from a rash to joint pain to minor depression to low energy, the cause could easily be from natural toxins.
– It is not possible to predict your unique reaction to natural toxins.
– Eliminate all flora (vegetables, grains and fruit) for 90 days and see what happens.
– After 90 days of flora removal you can add them back to your diet. Add one back in per week on a 3 day on, 4 day off pattern but keep it clean. Examples: If you want flora buy them locally and in season. If you want peanut butter buy raw soaked peanut butter. Try fermented flora. If anything makes you sick stop eating it.

Progress Beats Perfection

This diet is a permanent lifestyle change. Go at your own pace. Fast is slow, slow is fast. Making informed weekly or monthly permanent changes is great. Doing a 30 day all-in diet challenge is silly.

Do whatever you want with any toxic products currently in your home. Use them, give them away, throw them away or store them for emergencies. Goal is to not buy more. Exception is to throw anything with seed oils into the trash.

Americans consume vast amounts of toxic foods making us sick and fat. Do whatever it takes to make you thrive.

Resistance to Diet

Resistance to this diet will be high. Not rejecting it is abnormal. We are supposed to be living in a world based on science and one would assume we had figured out what food is healthy and taken appropriate steps to eliminate known toxic foods. It took me months of research before accepting the vast scope of our failure. Sadly I no longer trust the medical establishment, the government and the food industry because the evidence is overwhelming. That in no way means these groups are always wrong. They simply cannot be trusted. Americans eat vastly too many toxins and not enough nutrients making us sick and fat. I encourage doubters to embark on their own few months of research with an open mind.

Expected resistance levels to this diets findings.

Drink clean water: LOWEST. Drinking clean water is universally accepted. Traveling to 2nd and 3rd world countries is commonly accompanied by recommendations to only drink sealed bottle water and avoid ice cubes and salads. The primary resistance is the delusion that tap water and bottled water can be trusted to be clean. Truth is some are clean, others are not. Research and test your local jurisdiction’s tap water and the bottled water you buy or best solution is to install a high grade water filter.

Use clean Salt: LOW to HIGH. Finding independent lab tests of salts proving their purity and levels of heavy metal toxins is relatively easy and makes sense as both salts and heavy metals are mined from the earth. Swapping a single food supplement such as your current salt for Diamond Crystal salt is simple, inexpensive, tastes the same, and has no downside. High resistance will occur when attempting to avoid buying any food with salt as an ingredient like spice mixes and nearly everything else. No chance of being perfect but easy to eliminate most of it.

Eliminate plastic toxins: MEDIUM to HIGH. The idea that heated plastic leaches toxins into food is easily visualized. Plastic melts, deforms and creates toxic fumes when burned. Resistance will be experienced when removing the high number of plastic items from an average kitchen and much higher to avoid plastic clothes.

Eating whole foods free of man-made toxins: HIGH. Comprehending the breadth of failure of the medical establishment, the government and the food industry is challenging. Step one is researching how all these man-made foods and additives are manufactured for yourself. Step two is realizing how few whole foods free of these man-made toxins are available at a large grocery store. I was sickened by my findings.

They conned me. The medical establishment, the government and the food industry spend billions of marketing dollars deceiving us into eating cheap toxic foods and are exceptionally good at it. When I buy something I later find to be toxic I never blame myself, I just eat it and do better next time.

Reduce or eliminate flora toxins: HIGHEST. The idea that ALL vegetables contain toxins goes against decades of propaganda yet this truth is widely available. I only had to think through my anectodical memories and search for it online. All flora contain toxins and many people experience a wide range of reactions to them. Still, there is little that can be done to change someone’s mind unless they have serious medical issues and have exhausted all other alternatives. My anecdotal online research showed that those looking to cure their ailments required between 3 and 10 years to overcome this “plants healthy meat evil” cult conditioning before curing their ailments.

The most effective plan to escape this cult is to first follow all advice from your doctor to the letter. If your doctor cures you and you feel amazing then great. However, if they haven’t cured you within six months then accept the reality that they failed you. Taking never-ending prescription drugs is not a cure. Western medicine can be amazing but they don’t know and can’t solve everything and no doctor can possibly know your unique physiology. Six months max, then try this diet, give it six months then try something else. While this diet cures many things it won’t cure everything.

Labeling some people as having food allergies while others don’t is incorrect. The correct view is to accept that everyone is allergic to ALL flora yet some process them more effectively than others. Flora is at best a healthy food additive with limited bioavailable nutrients.

That said, tears ago, one of my aging relatives went blind and was scheduled for surgery to correct it. My aunt called her before she went under the knife and discovered her diet consisted solely of candy – candy every meal for possibly years. After a few days of eating carrots and a few vitamin pills her vision came back. Not surprisingly flora and western vitamin pills do have infinitely more nutrients than candy. Conversely, had she gone on a lean red meat diet with no fat that might have killed her similar to what happened to the starving front line German troops at Stalingrad in WWII. (This is called protein poisoning or “rabbit starvation”. I was unable to find a reference to the WW2 Stalingrad documentary I watched years ago.) Regardless, if you ever find yourself starving to death your first meal should never be lean red meat, chicken soup or beef fat is the way to go. This and other evidence is why I always recommend eating “fat and meat” instead of just meat.

Flora contains toxins with limited bioavailable nutrients. While infinitely more nutritious than candy, flora can also cause damage. Get rid of ALL obvious toxic foods like candy first but if still sick remove flora. As always, humans thrive on ruminant fat and meat because we can process their nutrients more efficiently and without any toxins.

Eat more animal fat and meat: HIGHEST. Most doctors reject the health benefits of eating animal fat and meat despite the overwhelming success of the thousands brave enough to try curing their ailments by eating more meat. Doctors will cite any number of health issues including elevated LDL cholesterol, kidney issues, cancer, nutrient deficiencies and digestive issues as reasons to never eat meat. The best you can expect from a doctor is for them to admit your more meat and less toxins diet cured your ailments but it is terrible long term and demand you revert to eating all the foods that initially made you sick. You would be better off taking advice from a Magic 8 ball fortune telling toy before these clowns. My mind was changed after researching the odd ailments of numerous close friends. Every person I found online who cured their strikingly similar medical ailments consistently did so by eating more ruminant fat and meat and less toxins.

Conclusions

You are never going to convince me that seed oils are healthy even though they must first be deodorized so I don’t gag and recoil in horror.

You are never going to convince me that contaminated water is healthy.

You are never going to convince me that salt contaminated with heavy metals is healthy.

You are never going to convince me that the untested lab created “food” chemicals and additives passed under the GRAS system are safe.

You are never going to convince me that eating foods containing ingredients the manufacturer is too afraid to list but instead hides them as “natural and artificial flavorings” is a solid plan.

You are never going to convince me that flora (vegetables, grains/grass seeds and fruits) are toxin free and no one has ever experienced reactions to these toxins.

You are never going to convince me that absorbing leached chemicals from lotions or plastics into my body is healthy.

You don’t have to convince me that red meat can be unhealthy. It is called alpha-gal syndrome caused by the lone star tick. Eat fat and meat, avoid ticks.
