Chi Running and Bodyweight Workouts for Super-Fitness

Here is my typical day in terms of fitness and nutrition (some days I reverse time spent on running and bodyweight exercise. For example, tomorrow I’ll run 6 miles in about 40 minutes, followed by 20 HARD minutes of bodyweight exercise. The day after, I’ll run about 3 miles followed by 40 minutes of bodyweight exercise)—work toward this, or more, and you’ll have a level of super-fitness that 90 plus % of your peers will NEVER GET TO EXPERIENCE. You’ll sleep soundly every night, wake up with tons of energy to spare, never experience constipation (the #1 cause of all disease/physical ailments), be well-muscled/toned and look YOUR ABSOLUTE BEST FOR LIFE!

Morning: Wake at sunrise. Eat a banana. Drink a green smoothie of banana, apple, celery, spinach. Run effortlessly and easily for about 40 minutes (covering 6 to 8 miles-see chi running by D. Dreyer for technique). Do approximately 300 pushups, 300 squats, 100 or more crunches, 40 pullups (in about 15 to 20 minutes).

Lunch: Drink another green smoothie. Then eat AS MUCH FRUIT AS IS NEEDED TO FEEL SATIATED. My favorites are grapes, bananas, apples, oranges, mangoes, dates, and kiwis. Take a whole food supplement.

Dinner: Large salad with nuts, seeds, or avocado for needed fat content. Salad usually consists of leafy greens (i.e. romaine lettuce, kale), tomatoes, celery, artichoke hearts, squash, cucumber.

Night: Fruit if hungry and usually another green smoothie. This time with tomatoes, greens, and celery. Meditation—15 minutes before bed. 6 to 7 hours of sleep.

The running style I use is called “chi running (see chirunning.com for info),” developed by D. Dreyer. It is a completely effortless style, and serves as a great warmup for the tough 15 to 20 minute bodyweight workout that follows. All food types and bodyweight exercises are revealed in my eBook, “Extreme Minimalist Fitness.”

Follow this plan or start with a shorter version of the run/calisthenic combination if necessary. Just start with the ability and level of conditioning you’ve got now, and WORK DAILY TO IMPROVE IT, EVEN IF JUST BY A FEW MORE MINUTES OF RUNNING…OR A FEW MORE REPS OF THE CALISTHENIC WORKOUT (see http://www.superiorbodyhealth.com for my exact workout in print and video).

Do this, and you’ll be absolutely shocked at how fast you’ll be shedding excess weight, building lean, attractive muscle, and fitting into clothes you thought you’d never wear again. AND, you’ll have a level of internal health that most people will never know. It is an indescribable feeling of lightness, power, and freedom. All addictive behavior subsides, and is replaced by a calm, purposeful, KNOWINGNESS, for want of a better word, that EVERYTHING will be o.k., no matter what challenges you may encounter throughout your day, week, year.

You have my word on that.

On Fitness Magazine IS GOOD!

For those of you who have been reading my posts, you know I DO NOT use this blog as a forum to promote affiliate programs, other people’s garbage products, or wasteful “health food” supplements (although I do believe in WHOLE FOOD supplementation).

However, I want to let you know that there is ONE VERY IMPORTANT MAGAZINE ON THE NEWS STANDS NOW that deserves your support. I DO NOT GET ANY COMMISSION FROM THIS MAG—I DO NOT SELL IT.

It’s called ON FITNESS MAGAZINE. You can view their site at http://www.onfitnessmag.com.

The very first thing that jumps out at you when you look at their approach to cover art is that—THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NO OVERTLY SEXUAL IMAGES ON THE COVER (over their last 7 issues; prior to that they used models and had fluff/filler-type writing in my opinion). As a matter of fact, their latest issue shows a soda bottle dripping what appears to be a blood-colored poison dripping from the spout! I love it! Their lead story?…

“THE GREAT AMERICAN FRAUD: HOW SNEAKY FOOD COMPANY TACTICS ARE GETTING US FAT AND SICK.”

(Well, it’s not just the sneaky foods companies. It’s the equally sneaky doctors, er-uh…DE FACTO DRUG DEALERS, with their absurdly dangerous drugs and vaccines (thanks a lot government losers, for looking out for the public’s best interests!) being pushed day after day. Hard to believe drug companies have got the audacity to wreck my viewing experience during Sunday’s NFL games with their *@@!@! commercials—but then, if they can take over an American Institution like Reader’s Digest, nothing should shock me.)

Oh, ON FITNESS. It is magazines like this one that give me faith in the American people to stand up to the medical/food/pharmaceutical industries. I do not agree with ALL the info in OnFitness, but I must say it’s very encouraging to see a magazine with good content, well-thought-out subject focus, and—LOTS OF GUTS!

Plus, they do not “target” any specific audience. Another pet peeve of mine. Their “Onfitness” by-lines include, “the natural approach to health and fitness,” “your personal training partner,” and “for MEN AND WOMEN.”

Ask your bookseller for the Sept/Oct 2003 issue of OnFitness Magazine right now. Or go directly to their site and order it up! Read the article, “THE GREAT AMERICAN FRAUD: HOW SNEAKY FOOD COMPANY TACTICS ARE GETTING US SICK.” This article answers questions such as, “What do I need to know about TRICKY LABELING?” “What exactly is food flavoring anyway?” and “So how do I know if it’s really natural?”

An accurate quote from this article: “The most profound change in American eating habits was the advent of those chemical concoctions known as TV dinners, creating the beginnings of the fast-food industry.” This is great stuff. I love to see it out there amidst all the other fluff-filled so-called “journalism” in the health and fitness industry.

It is very important that we support editor-in-chief Joseph Grassadonia’a excellent product. It is truly a work of art amidst the rest of the lackluster “journalism” the passes for 99% of current magazine content. Thanks Joseph!

Tarahumara Indians!

Just reading through C. Mcdougall’s excellent book, BORN TO RUN. Mcdougall is a runner who spent time with the Tarahumara Indian Tribe of Mexico’s Copper Canyons. The Tarahumara are incredible athletes who run hundreds of miles without rest. I found several paragraphs on page 209 to be very telling regarding these Indians’ eating habits.

The Tarahumara enjoy supreme, lifelong, disease-free health due to (according to Dr. Weinberg, states Mcdougall) their dietary focus around raw fruits and vegetables instead of processed meat or carbohydrate products.

Dr. Weinberg cites a 2007 report from the Journal of American Medicine which contends that stray cancer cells left behind after surgery are 300 percent more likely to become active, or spread, when the surgery patient is on a standard Western diet (i.e. high meat/carb) instead of one centered around fruits and vegetables. This, claims Dr. W, is because ANIMAL PROTEINS STIMULATE THE RESURGENCE OF CANCER CELLS.

Just more evidence showing a plant-based diet to be the ideal choice for mankind. I keep picking up such evidence from the most unlikely of sources.

By the way, I’m back from my 3-day, 120-mile trek through Death Valley eating fruit only. Still no sign of a “protein” or “b12″ deficiency.

Death Valley hike update + Dr. Abramowski’s Fruit Diet—Awesome Results

Hello everyone! I’m back from my 3-day, 120-mile Death Valley, Ca. hike—all is well, and it feels great to be back in Portland, Or. I consumed fruit only on this last hike (my previous 10-day journey included a few nuts—not this time!). I was never hungry. I had plenty of energy. And I have not seen a physician, but I seriously doubt I’m suffering from a “protein or b12 deficiency.” The Death Valley Hike pics are up on my site, superiorbodyhealth.com. Just click on the “Death Valley Hike” icon at the top of the page.

Here’s an excerpt from Dr. O L M Abramowski’s pamphlet, Fruitarian Diet and Physical Rejuvenation. My mind remained silent and still through most of the 40 miles per day in DV, however, it would occasionally drift back to all the benefits I ABSOLUTELY KNOW CAN BE YOURS BY LIVING IN ACCORDANCE WITH NATURE’S LAW…THE PLANT-BASED DIET FOR OPTIMAL HEALTH AND VITALITY…

Dr. A: “I advocate the simple and single natural food of original man even for modern man, in spite of all the long centuries of mixed and cooked dietary of mankind. I feel strongly—very strongly—on this subject. And why? Firstly: because the natural uncooked food has saved my life, has rejuvenated my body and made out of an over-fed, old man, courting apoplexy and rushing blindly into a premature grave, a comparatively young, vigorous and healthy person, fit and willing to live another half century. And secondly: because it has, through my mediumship, saved many a valuable life threatened by disease, which would have succumbed under the unnatural modern diet and orthodox treatment…

…Before I started on the natural food, I suffered from numerous colds every year, and for years I had a severe attack of influenza every Christmas. Wife and children were equally troubled…since fruit has been our mainstay, and meat has disappeared from our table, since water and fruit juices became our drinks, since tea and coffee were reduced to a minimum, NO DISEASE WHATEVER HAS MADE ITS APPEARANCE IN OUR HOME, and we have lost all fear…”

I’m not saying you’ve got to become a fruitarian overnight to massively improve your health. However, increasing your intake of raw, organic fruits and vegetables is the time-tested, proven method of boosting your body’s innate tendency to heal itself—to move toward a state of calm, superb efficiency—by supplying EVERY NUTRIENT KNOWN TO MAN WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY CLEANSING THE DIGESTIVE TRACT OF TOXIC, HARDENED MATTER.

Skip the meat and potatoes tonight and try eating a few bananas and a handful of organic grapes. Wait a half hour (about the time it takes for the fruit to pass through the stomach to the digestive tract). Now consume a large salad with leafy greens, tomatoes, and a handful of raw nuts or an avocado. By the time you eat all this, you’ll be amazed at how much less of a “main course” you require to feel satiated (if you need that course, go for a baked potato, serving of organic brown rice or barley, or, if you eat meat, organic only). And you’ll be on your way to super-health. Now get some exercise in the morning (see superiorbodyhealth.com)!!!

Proof that Raw Veganism cures disease???

Many who question the feasibility of living a full, healthy life on a raw vegan or fruitarian diet seem to disregard MASSIVE AMOUNTS of strong circumstantial evidence in favor of the argument that there’s just “no hard proof” that humans are ideally suited to a plant-based diet.

Although many traditionally-trained physicians (i.e. Dr. Michael Klaper, Dr. Doug Graham, Dr. Lorraine Day, Dr. Neal Barnard of PCRM.Org) advocate a plant-based diet for optimal health and even disease reversal—many meat-eaters I’ve spoken to simply cannot accept good circumstantial evidence as carrying any weight at all when it comes to the question of what man’s ideal foods might be…I suppose this is where I part ways with these folks, although I know many who are in excellent health by outward appearance, and are well-intentioned.

What do I consider strong circumstantial evidence? Just go to DrDay.com. Dr. Lorraine Day was a traditionally-trained trauma surgeon. She developed a fist-sized tumor on her chest and was given two weeks to live. She became aware of the results others produced, in similar life-threatening situations, by going with a raw, plant-based diet. She began eating only raw fruits, vegetables, and some organic grains. Her results? No chemo but cancer totally disappeared within several weeks.

Dr. Neal Barnard has had similar results with diabetic patients (see PCRM.org). Prof. Arnold Ehret cured literally thousands of patients of a wide array of diseases using exclusive fruit diets. Dr. Timothy Brantley has gotten similar results on cancer patients recently using a plant-based diet (see his 2007 book, The Cure). Same with Dr. Anne Wigmore.

What are we to make of these physicians? Are they, as some would have you believe, just ‘fringe’ examples or isolated instances of success with raw vegan or fruitarian diets? Not likely—considering the mountains of evidence put forth by Professor Emeritus of Nutritional Biochemistry at Cornell U., Dr. T. Colin Campbell (see The China Study)—that meat-eating leads directly to several forms of cancer as well as a poisoned bloodstream due to chronic constipation.

Please note: I am absolutely NOT saying that I think you’ll suffer degenerative diseases simply because you consume an occasional meal of meat! Just that I’m in firm agreement with Dr. Neal Barnard that when it comes to living the ideally fit and healthy life, there’s “just nothing” even in the same class as the 100% vegan diet (see Dr. B’s 2009 interview with G. Noory on the Coast to Coast AM radio show).

Cases like Dr. Day’s of course do not “prove” directly that raw plant foods are the ideal food for man. However, I’d say that if one doubted the life-changing, positive impact of such foods on human physiology—that person could be ignoring an idea that many prominent attorneys subscribe to…that circumstantial evidence is often more compelling than a “smoking gun.”

Is Cheese Safe? My answer to a question posed on facebook

Probably not! Just listened to a bit of an interview with Dr. Neal Barnard, head of The Physician’s Committee For Responsible Medicine. Dr. Barnard claims that dairy products latch onto THE SAME RECEPTOR CELLS IN THE BRAIN AS HEROINE AND COCAINE. This, he contends, is why so many vegetarians and vegans have a problem overcoming that final hurdle in their quest for a natural diet—cutting out cheese!

Dr. Barnard’s work can be found at PCRM.ORG. His interview reminded me, also, of Diamond’s well-written chapter on dairy products in the book, Fit For Life II. More good stuff. Diamond makes a compelling case that humans should not be consuming the milk of another species—as no other mammal in the world does either. And “once weaned, no animal EVER AGAIN CONSUMES MILK.” At all.

I suppose it would be a bit strange to view, in a natural setting, a human actually crawling underneath a cow for a “calcium-rich” snack. Incidentally, great sources of calcium are raw sesame seeds, raw nuts, dates, leafy greens, prunes, and figs. Raw greens like Kale and Lambsquarters are absolutely loaded with calcium. Eat these foods and you’ll never suffer a calcium deficiency.

Also, it’s important to note that dairy products form a toxic, coagulative, semi-glue that coats the human digestive tract—thus blocking proper absorption of vitamins and minerals from nutrient-rich foods like fruits and vegetables (see Cohen’s MILK: THE DEADLY POISON)—and leading directly to constipation and a subsequently poisoned bloodstream.

“There are two elements in dairy products that have to be broken down by enzymes in the body: lactose and casein. Lactose is broken down by the enzyme lactase, and casein is broken down by the enzyme rennin. By age 3 or 4 rennin is nonexistent in the human digestive tract and, in all but a small number of people, so is lactase. The term lactose intolerance is thrown around as if it were some rare occurrence that manifests only on occasion. In fact, OVER 98% OF THE POPULATION IS LACTOSE INTOLERANT…casein is the protein component in milk. It is a very thick, course substance and used to make one of the strongest wood glues known.” (Diamond, Fit For Life II)

Diamond continues…”Before he became a highly paid consultant on nutrition to the National Dairy Products Company, Prof. E V McCollum stressed the fact the milk IS NOT an essential in the diet of man (see earlier editions of THE NEWER KNOWLEDGE OF NUTRITION). He pointed out that the inhabitants of Southern Asia never drink milk.” Their diet is made of primarily raw plant foods and those people are known for their beauty, strength, endurance, and…”finest teeth of any people in the world. This is a sharp contrast with milk-drinking peoples. Unfortunately, the professor found it expedient to delete these facts from all editions of his work,” after becoming a consultant to the almighty National Dairy Products Company. Sad.

Cheese is just condensed milk. It is extremely toxic to the human digestive system, leads directly to constipation and a poisoned bloodstream. I’m in agreement with H. Diamond, Dr. Bahna, Dr. Neal Barnard, Dr. Lorraine Day, and many other traditionally-educated physicians that ALL dairy products should be eliminated from the human diet for optimal health.

And I’m with Dr. Barnard when he contends that children should at least have vegan and vegetarian options available at all schools to replace meat/dairy.

“Dr. Henry Bieler was able to save 100% of the kids in hospitals with leukemia who had been pronounced incurable by their doctors, mainly by stopping them from having any more milk products…” (Wayne Green, Phd, THE SECRET GUIDE TO HEALTH).

Get All The Protein You’ll Ever Need From…Greens!

Some of the biggest, strongest animals on earth eat ONLY FRUIT, NUTS, SEEDS, AND…GREENS. Gorillas…Chimpanzees…”grass-fed” Bulls. A gorilla is 30 times stronger than a man. Where does he get his super-strength? From “protein” in meat? NO! From fruit and green wild leaves!

And Gorillas and chimps have the EXACT SAME digestive systems and dietary needs as humans.

I was just paging through the phenomenal book, GREEN FOR LIFE. On page 42-6, the author notes that both Kale (in most grocery stores) and Lambsquarters (an edible weed) have more essential amino acids/proteins than are recommended by the USDA per day. And the USDA recommendations are waaaay high…

According to Professor T.C. Campbell…”the U.S. RDA for protein is greatly overestimated. Studies of the diets of chimpanzees compared to that of humans confirm the same truth. ‘Chimpanzees maintain a fairly low and constant protein intake, due to their focus on fruit…’”

You don’t see chimps eating “meat for protein!” They get all they need, as we should, from fruit and edible wild leaves. This may be one reason they stay healthy, strong and CANCER-FREE FOR LIFE! Greens have all the needed protein to sustain healthy muscle…but they don’t have the toxic side effect of clogging up the digestive tract and colon with disease-producing waste, left over from undigested meat products.

The next time you feel the need to get your protein to “build muscle,” consider the source.

Meats, especially those cooked, tend to stall in the human digestive tract, which is almost 30 feet in length. Most natural meat eaters have a much shorter digestive system, allowing dead prey to move through their systems quickly. In ours’, that same meat takes MUCH LONGER to reach the colon…and in that hot environment, in rots! It also tends to leave toxins and hardened, indigestible matter behind…this leads to constipation and subsequent disease.

The human digestive system responds ideally to green leaves as a protein source. They pass through our long digestive tracts, scrub the tract of impurities, and release essential amino acids into the bloodstream with no toxic side effects.

According to Prof. Campbell, “There is a mountain of compelling evidence showing that so called ‘low quality’ plant protein…is the healthiest type of protein. For example, the protein from greens doesn’t have cancer as a side effect.” (from Green For Life)…”Yet, in many books, greens are not even listed as a protein source because greens have not been researched enough.”

Skip the burger and go for the green salad for protein. Your need for protein has been greatly overestimated by the USDA. And EVERY AMINO ACID NEEDED to sustain healthy muscle is abundantly available in healthy, easily digested green leaves. Use them as a base for salads. Add avocados, olives, nuts. Use sea salt, pepper, and organic olive oil with apple cider vinegar for dressing. Delicious!

The Fruit-Only Diet For Super-Health

In the amazing book, Fit For Life, the authors review the story of anthropologist Dr. Alan Walker of Johns Hopkins University. Walker discovered, by analyzing the teeth of ancient skeletons, that our “early human ancestors were not predominantly meat eaters or even eaters of seeds, shoots, leaves, or grassses. Nor were they omniverous. Instead, they appear to have subsisted chiefly on A DIET OF FRUIT.” (published in New York Times, May 15, 1979).

Walker continues…”NO EXCEPTIONS HAVE BEEN FOUND. Every tooth examined from the hominids of the 12 million year period leading up to Homo-Erectus appeared to be that of a fruit eater.”

I’ve been eating between 80 and 90 percent fruit, daily, for years now. The rest of my diet is from nuts and green leaves. I can honestly tell you that I LOVE EATING THIS WAY! I am never hungry, have tons of energy, and have actually gained muscular weight from intense, short workouts.

Dr. Walker appears to be on to something.

But don’t tell that to the average American. They’d rather spend a lifetime eating burgers, fries, candy…and gobs of other pre-packaged, processed, and chemical-laden “foods.” Then they wonder “what happened” when they end up weak, sluggish, constipated, and plagued by totally preventable diseases.

This absolutely does not have to happen to you.

Spend a week or two eating 75 percent fruit and you’ll see what I mean. Fruit cleanses your digestive tract. It literally scrubs your colon, cleaning it of years of toxic build-up from processed, cooked foods. It also supplies every vitamin, mineral, amino acid, protein, and fat needed to sustain a vibrant, healthy life.

If you doubt this just look at the average gorilla or chimp…30 times stronger than man, never ill, never sick…eating NOTHING BUT FRUIT, LEAVES, AND BARK.

“An apple or a banana contains everything needed to meet human dietary requirements…one should not dismiss a simple truth, preached by nature, just because cultural norms don’t allow for it.” (A. Ehret, from The Cause and Cure of Human Illness).

Organic Smoothie for Super-Health and Energy…

Having been a fast-food junkie for many years, when I became a raw food vegan, I still wanted something that was fast to make, totally filling…and full of flavor as well. Then I read Victoria Boutenko’s book GREEN FOR LIFE.

Boutenko cured her family of severe illnesses by getting them to drink “green smoothies.” These are easy to make, require few ingredients, fill you up like a fast-food meal, keep you “regular” because they’re loaded with fiber…plus, they are loaded with anti-cancer nutrients…and they taste incredible!

Try this one:

In a blender, mix…
2 hand-fulls of edible green leaves (like spinach or kale)
1 large organic tomato
1 teaspoon organic apple cider vinegar
2 stalks organic celery
1 carrot
half an apple (sweetens taste)
add cool distilled water, pinch of cayenne pepper, blend and serve.

Drink this smoothie for lunch or dinner. It tastes like a V8, but soooo much better due to the raw, fresh ingredients.

Then eat a hand-full of walnuts, almonds, or raw spanish peanuts. You won’t believe how delicious and filling this meal is!

Meals like this one cured me of a fast-food addiction that plagued me for years. Once you starting eating like this, you have so much extra energy you don’t know what to do with it. This is because your body does not have to WASTE ENERGY DIGESTING A LARGE HEAVY, OILY MEAL.

If you eat a hamburger, fries, and a super-sized coke, do you think your body has more or less energy when you’re done eating?

…it is WAAAAY LESS!!! Because this fast-food meal is not only poorly combined…it has NO DIGESTIVE ENZYMES OF ITS OWN!

So your body pulls enzymes and energy from other organs to help with digestive process. Leaving you tired, sleepy, and lethargic…not to mention backed up and constipated!

The vegan smoothie meal, on the other hand, is full of not just vital nutrients…but also…ITS OWN DIGESTIVE ENZYMES BUILT IN! So your body doesn’t require robbing other organs of enzymes to assist in digestion.

The result? A filling, nutrient-packed meal that leaves you with TONS OF EXTRA ENERGY that you can put to better use…at school, at work, or in your daily workouts.

This is a beautiful way to live. Trust me, I’m objective. I grew up eating “super-sized” combos for a loooong looooong time!

Raw Fruits and Veges Cure…Anything?

That’s what my friend Wayne Green (publishing icon and investigative journalist) says. And I tend to agree. Take a look at Dr. Lorraine Day’s cancer tumor at DrDay.com. She was given 2 weeks to live, switched to the raw vegan diet…cured her cancer and is now a model of beauty and health. At over 60 years old!!! I’ve been on a diet of fruit, raw leaves, and nuts for several years. I’ve never had more energy in my life!!!

Fruit alone has every vitamin, mineral, amino acid, and essential fat needed to sustain a vibrant, healthy life.

Combine the raw vegan diet with 15 minute per day bodyweight workouts, and you’ve got the proven recipe to superior health and fitness.

Check out extrememinimalistfitness.com. I’ve put together a totally easy-to-follow plan that gets you eating more raw fruits and veges, and doing simple, in-home 15 minute workouts. This is the most convenient way I’ve found to lose fat, gain lean, attractive muscle…and do it all without the need for gyms, fitness trainers, or “calorie counting” diets.
