Have you tried all the fad diets and now the honeymoon is over?
Do you often have gas and find yourself feeling bloated?
Do you drag yourself out of bed in the morning, need a nap after lunch and fall asleep in your chair at night?
Are you gaining weight despite caloric restriction and working out at the gym regularly?
Do you have stiff and/or painful joints and back problems?
The CONTRA DIET can help!
The Contra Diet is Contrary to other diets.
It's not magic. It's science.
Pure and simple!
Many people believe eating foods that are low in fats, sugars and starches are healthy choices. They also believe eating plant-based proteins, whole grains and lots of raw vegetables and salads are good options. Raymond Peat, Ph.D. believed quite the opposite and his research indicated strongly that these beliefs had no validity. The Contra Diet is based on his research and advocates, as he did, that you experiment and try his recommendations for yourself. This is why we created the Contra Diet for you! The Four Cornerstones of the Contra Diet are a foundation to explore a new way of eating for healthier living.
THE FOUR CORNERSTONES OF THE CONTRA DIET
Calcium
Fructose
Stable Fats
Antifungal and Antibacterial Fibers
WHAT DO WE MEAN?
The Four Cornerstones of the Contra Diet are essential to living healthier and feeling better. It's the science that brings on the magic!
CALCIUM isn't just for your bones. Amazing things can happen when you increase your calcium. You can lose weight naturally and easily. You can feel calm and have improved sleep and lowered blood pressure. And, of course, calcium is also needed for strong bones!
FRUCTOSE is the special sugar found in certain foods that is the key to high energy levels all day long thus eliminating high and low energy swings that can leave you feeling debilitated. We are not talking about high-fructose corn syrup which can be dangerous to your health. We are talking about naturally sweet whole foods that also contain essential vitamins and minerals.
STABLE FATS are special fats that are solid at room temperature. These fats are far from dangerous. They can fill you up and satisfy your hunger which aids in weight loss. They can give you steady energy all day. These fats can actually help protect you from free radical damage and the development of unattractive age spots.
ANTIFUNGAL AND ANTIBACTERIAL FIBERS can improve your digestion and keep you regular. These are the best probiotics because they carry out bacterial toxins and can prevent gas and bloating. As a bonus, they can prevent headaches, the common cold and lower back aches. They can also improve your sleep!
Based on the scientific research of Raymond Peat, (Ph.D. in biology, with a specialization in physiology), the Contra Diet is truly contrary to many current dietary recommendations.
