Confusing, Contradictory, and Counter-Productive Nutrition and Diets

I`m a fan of learning new things... I love learning new things, especially when it's a topic I believe will be helpful. So, I did a little peak performance and healthy living learning with some Tony Robbins programs... I was kind of surprised to hear a few things. I haven't completed my research, but there's a LOT of weird dietary/nutritional facts...

Speaking just about Tony's products, here's what I heard... Impartial list, no huge research done on all of it yet. So bare with me.

• Don't eat carbohydrates and proteins at the same time
• Don't eat meals with drinks, or immediately after
• Don't have dairy products
• Oxygen prevents cancer

Now, I'm not saying they're wrong, bad, or have negative impacts... But are they good? I looked into the dairy thing so far, and I've heard him explain the oxygen thing. The oxygen one made sense to me, and breathing is a requirement anyways, so getting more good air just seemed like a good idea.

But here's the screwed up thing...

Animal-protein-rich things like milk contain calcium, and b-vitamins, and other good stuff like that... But it also causes osteoperosis due to calcium leeching from our bones. And it doesn't surprise me, but it also contains growth hormones from cows that haven't given birth yet, so then people start developing depression and little girls "grow up" faster. People who ingest cows milk are also ingesting those hormones, which are female, so then girls develop faster, and men become a little more moody and effeminate.

But then also eggs contain a lot of essential nutrients, but slow the intake of vitamin b-7 (biotin)... which you get from animal proteins.

And apparently soy is a cure-all, but also leads to womens' thyroid issues, and kidney problems, etc.

You can't have high-sugar fruits because of too much sugar. Diabetes, blood pressure, etc.

Eggs counter the proteins... Meats/dairy contain b-vitamins and female hormones... You can't switch to soy... Some fruits are bad for you...

Apparently... The solution is becoming a vegan who doesn't have soy and certain fruits.

Fuck. That.

Here's my solution:

People around the world, from every culture, have more or less figured out what to eat. Nowadays, though, we have a bunch of "junk foods" which everyone already knows is bad for you anyways... But really, you already know what to eat.

Eat meats, fish, bread, pasta, fruits, veggies... etc. Drink milk, water, natural juices.

You get the picture. Eat healthy, and organic helps, since it doesn't have chemicals.

And get plenty of exercise that you enjoy doing, and get lots of fresh air. It's simple!!

You don't need complex diets, or anything, you just need to avoid candy and soda and coffee is you can... I break this rule sometimes, I'm human. But I eat healthy most of the time. I don't overeat, I eat when I'm hungry, and I feel like I've worked up a worthy hunger.

Seriously! You know the best things for yourself already.

• Eat good food, when you need to
• Exercise regularly
• Breathe fresh air regularly
• And all those other health-enhancing things...

It's just about having the willingness to do them, and to be happy, and feel satisfied. They're all factors.
