How Do My Dogs Eat? – Spoiled Dog Food…
OK, so I'll make today's post quick. I got a great question from a reader. And it's about a subject near and dear to me. My dogs :) Here's the question: Hi Sean. Another Pac NW'er here! Haven't been able to make one of the meet ups yet, but hope to soon. Anyway, I wanted to ask you about what you are feeding your dog. Right now, I've got my little guy on chicken (with fat), rice, and organic veggies. I add in the Missing Link supplement as well. Treats are cooked chicken livers, as well as chicken ...
How Do I Eat?
I've been getting lots of questions (mostly offline) about how I "eat" lately. And what type of diet do I follow? Here's a very quick summary. 1.) I eat virtually no wheat, and drastically limit any grains. (Grains = Wheat, corn, rice, oats, barley, etc.) 2.) I limit my sugar intake (especially fructose.) 3.) I limit my carbs, and try and eat less than 100 grams a day. (Mainly from nuts, veggies, and fruits.) 4.) I balance my Omega 3 to Omega 6 ratio. 5.) I keep my protein fairly high, at least 100 grams a day. 6.) I eat around 50% of my calories in fat, mainly ...
Oh Mega! Fats! – Omega 3 vs Omega 6 Fats, and Why Your Ratio is Important
Oh mega man, how I love thee. No not that guy... More like this guy. (Omega 3 Man to the rescue!) Ya, that guy is pretty much awesome. I think I just found what I want to be for Halloween. Or maybe not. OK back on subject. I do love Omega 3 fatty acids, and so should you. Why? Well Omega 3's make us really happy, they make our brains work, they help with tissue building, help prevent heart disease, lessen the chance of blood clotting, and a wide variety of really cool stuff. They're basically essential for healthy living. But here's some bad news for ya. Omega 3's are ...

Alright, so now that I slammed the knowledge about glucose and fructose, how they interact with your body, and why one is good (glucose) and the other is bad (fructose) you may want to know how to identify fructose, and how to avoid it.

You should probably be as scared as this guy below: Careful about that ...

Simply Sugar – An Explanation Of Sweeteners – Part 1
Ahhh sweeteners, everyone loves them, and they try to find a way to get them into their diet whether or not their diet actually “allows” them to do it. And even if you don’t have a specific diet, maybe you just heard you’re supposed to avoid the all evil High Fructose Corn Syrup. Oh no! The horror! Don’t eat that crazy HFCS (High Fructose Corn Syrup) stuff, or else you... [Read more...]
The Beginning – How I Discovered An Awesomely Different Way To Eat
OK, so I admit it, I’m not perfect. What a great way to start out a bloggy website thing where I’m positioning to talk about health, wellness, and expect at least someone to listen to me… Well forget about that for a second and just listen because you might just learn a thing or two, or at least disagree with me enough to post an inflamatory comment in the form below. In the past... [Read more...]

Sean and Lindsey Bissell ask "Dude, where did we get so crazily confused with our nutrition?"
We used to be just like you, thinking that we were eating "right," obsessively counting our calories, lifting weights, doing beat-your-head-against-the-wall-boring runs...
We thought the answer to health was pretty simple. Eat pretty "good" food, watch your calories, and workout.
Let me tell you... Ignorance is *not* always bliss. If we had only closely looked at the research we would have seen it. But, we can't take back that time we lost, and now that we do see it. We want you to see it too. So now we're here to knock on your brain and wake you up too.
Welcome to our blog. Now either get reading, get excited, get mad, or go away. -
