For decades, we’ve been told that the key to good health is eating plenty of salads, vegetables and low-fat foods. But what if this advice isn’t the whole truth? What if your body is actually craving something completely different – and the very foods we’ve been told to avoid are what we really need to thrive?
The Salad Myth
Don’t get me wrong – some veggies can be helpful. But here’s the problem: many vegetables and salads today aren’t what they used to be. They’re often genetically modified (GMO), sprayed with chemicals, or grown in nutrient-depleted soils. On top of that, certain plants contain compounds like oxalates that can irritate the body rather than nourish it. So while that big bowl of salad might look “healthy,” your body may not even recognize it as true fuel.
What Your Body Really Needs
Our ancestors didn’t thrive on processed foods, seed oils, and endless salads. They lived on animal-based nutrition – rich in protein and saturated fats – the very building blocks our bodies are designed for.
-
Protein repairs muscles, builds tissues and strengthens your immune system.
-
Fats fuel your brain, support hormones and provide long-lasting energy.
-
Together, they keep you satisfied, strong and energized.
When you fuel your body with steak, eggs, fish, or butter, you’re giving it the tools it needs to do what it was designed to do.
Why It Matters Today
We live in a world filled with toxins, EMFs, processed foods and hidden sugars. All of these add stress to the body. That’s why it’s more important than ever to get back to basics: nutrient-dense protein, healthy fats, and real food. It’s not about fad diets – it’s about eating in alignment with how our bodies are wired.
A Simple Shift You Can Make
Instead of loading up on another “light” salad that leaves you hungry an hour later, try making protein and fat the star of your plate. Add a piece of grass-fed steak, eggs cooked in butter, or a fatty fish like salmon. Notice how much more energy and mental clarity you have when your body is properly fuelled.
Your body doesn’t need the latest health trend – it needs the timeless fuel it was designed for. If you’d like to learn more about nourishing your body this way, I’d love to connect with you.
