I Spent a Decade Overcomplicating Food
Then I discovered the simplest approach actually works best.
195 Pounds and Sick of Being Sick
In 2013, I was 195 pounds at 5'9". Pre-diabetic. Vision so bad I had a restriction on my driver's license. Constantly sick. Exhausted. Just wanted to lose some weight and feel better.
I thought the answer was out there somewhere. Some expert had figured it out. I just needed to find the right system.
So I tried everything.
Paleo. Keto. Vegan. Mediterranean. Intermittent fasting. Calorie counting. Macro tracking. Every diet book. Every fitness guru. Every nutritionist's advice.
Each one helped... a little. Then I'd plateau. The cravings would come back. The weight would creep up. I'd start over with the next approach.
Carnivore came closest—it actually works. But meat-only proved too restrictive. I couldn't sustain it long-term. I needed something that worked as completely as Carnivore but remained sustainable.
For over a decade, this was my life.
Constantly researching. Always optimizing. Never quite getting there.
Why Most Diets Failed
After ten years of trying everything, I finally understood why most approaches kept failing:
I was still negotiating with harmful substances.
'Just a little bread won't hurt.' 'I'll have one cheat day.' 'Everything in moderation, right?'
Wrong.
Paleo and Keto eliminate some harmful substances but not all. Carnivore eliminates everything harmful—but it's too restrictive for most people.
I needed the completeness of Carnivore with enough variety to sustain it.
Every time I kept 'a little' of the harmful stuff, my body kept reacting to it. The cravings never fully disappeared. I was constantly using willpower to resist substances my body was still responding to.
That's exhausting. And it doesn't work long-term.
When I Finally Stopped Negotiating
I don't remember the exact moment. But at some point, I stopped trying to moderate harmful foods and started completely eliminating them.
Not all at once. One at a time. In a specific sequence.
Gluten. Gone. 100%.
The first three weeks were hell. Then something shifted. Completely.
Sugar. Gone. 100%.
Same pattern. Withdrawal. Then freedom.
Starches. Gone. 100%.
By the third elimination, I knew what to expect. And I knew it worked.
Then I eliminated everything else my body was reacting to. Industrial oils. Chemical additives. Alcohol. All of it.
And everything got easier.
Not immediately. Not magically. But steadily, dramatically, permanently.
The Results I Never Expected
The weight came off. That part I expected.
What I didn't expect:
Vision restored to 20/20 (from needing corrective lenses with a restriction)
Hair regrowth continues on areas of my head where no hair had grown since I was a much younger man (I anticipate having a full head of hair again someday)
Reversed prediabetes completely
Normalized blood pressure without medication
Reversed erectile dysfunction entirely
Under 10% body fat at age 59, maintained effortlessly
Building lean muscle at an age most people accept decline
But the biggest change?
I don't think about food anymore.
No obsessing over menus. No calculating anything. No mental energy wasted on food decisions.
Food is just fuel now. Simple. Boring. Perfect.
These were my personal results. I can't promise you'll experience the same. But the freedom from food obsession? That's consistent when you achieve complete elimination.
You Deserve to Know There's Another Way
I'm not a doctor. Not a nutritionist. Not a scientist. I don't have credentials or letters after my name.
What I have is over a decade of relentless self-experimentation and results that changed my life completely.
I'm sharing this because:
The diet industry profits from your failure. They need you to keep coming back. Complete elimination doesn't require their products, supplements, or ongoing programs.
Most experts have never actually done this. They study it, theorize about it, but they've never achieved complete elimination themselves. I have.
You deserve the truth. There's a way out of the constant battle with food, weight, and cravings. It requires commitment, but it works. Incredibly well.
Simple Principles, Not Complicated Systems
I don't believe in:
Calorie counting or macro tracking
Portion control or food measuring
"Cheat days" or moderation
Complicated meal plans
Supplements to replace real food
Promising results I can't guarantee
I do believe in:
Complete elimination of substances your body recognizes as harmful
Zero tolerance (because that's what actually breaks addiction)
Teaching principles, not just giving instructions
One addiction at a time (not overwhelming yourself)
Your body's natural ability to heal when you stop poisoning it
Results over theory
My job is to guide you through the same framework that freed me—and help you discover how your body responds.
Training + Elimination = Complete Transformation
Because I maintain under 10% body fat and continue building muscle at 59, I can also help you with:
Custom workout programming
Gym training (for local clients in Phoenix area)
Building lean muscle while losing fat
Fitness that complements your nutrition transformation
You're not getting advice from someone who just read about it. You're getting guidance from someone living it.
What My Life Looks Like Now
I wake up with energy. I eat when I'm hungry. Simple, real food. I stop when I'm full. I don't think about it the rest of the day.
No apps. No tracking. No calculations. No stress.
I work out. I build muscle. My body manages its own weight.
Food takes up zero mental space.
That's not a diet. That's freedom.
Two Ways Forward
If you're tired of approaches that don't work, ready to eliminate what's been holding you back, and willing to try something fundamentally different:
Option 1: DIY with the book Get the complete framework and implement it yourself.
Option 2: Guided implementation Get the book's framework with hands-on coaching—accountability through the hard parts, support when doubt hits, answers when you're stuck.
Either way, you're taking the first step toward complete elimination and lasting transformation.
Important: Consult your healthcare provider before making significant dietary changes. Individual results vary greatly.
