If you like Bill Maher then you know he never holds back on his opinions. This time around he gets deep into the pharmaceutical industry and unloads!

He jokes all the time I know but this time around if you listen carefully he is really dropping science on us. I for one can agree with his opinion on modern medicine and food. I think this video is really a good eye opener and think it is worth checking out.

Today’s Weigh In: 379.4lbs

The other day I went on a shopping trip to my local super market looking for some raw food salad dressing. The only problem was everything I found including the diet stuff contained High Fructose Corn Syrup.  What is the deal with that?

How could diet, low fat salad dressing contain Corn Syrup? I spent at least an hour and I am not kidding reading labels. Thank goodness I now read the labels now because I would have otherwise bought that junk.

You know I had to make a video about that trip and have a one on one discussion with you about this right? Check out the video below as I tell you my opinion on this horrific shopping experience.

Later,

Mr. Meltdown

It is 3:42AM and I can’t sleep at all. I am deep in thought and feel like something is happening to me. I decided to meditate and focus on why I am doing what I am doing and understand myself a little more.

I am realizing more about myself right now and learning who I am. I know it might be hard for some of you to understand what I talking about so let me explain.

I remember watching the Simply Raw Movie and remembering what one person said about medicine. It was said that “modern medicine is only a bandage”.

That was burned inside my mind and made me think real hard about some things. I am understanding more that the food we eat produces physical changes good and bad.

If you think about it for a second you might agree that food can make you feel bad or good depending what you eat. I have noticed that if I eat a large salad and fruit until I am full I feel satisfied.

But I also noticed that if I was to eat a fried chicken meal with all the works I feel slow, sleepy and sick. This is a true sign that something is wrong.

This blog to me is starting to really educate me of who I am by documenting my journey. I am starting to  see patterns and changes by the things I try and fail at.

This time around is a little different because I am feeling something I have never felt before while on a diet.

I am feeling alive and full of hope and raw food is the reason. I am understanding that all the hormones and antibiotics pumped into factory raised animals we eat is killing us slow.

It is kind of like we are all  some big food  experiment that went wrong and I want out! The result of eating this factory food and toxic waste has made me fat and unhealthy.

I know that if I can beat this food addiction and lose this weight then I might inspire someone else. I am feeling like becoming Mr. Meltdown is starting to really save my life. By not fighting change and allowing God to guide me I am moving in the right direction now.

Fruits and vegetables are what our bodies need to work right. (Do you hear me out there?)

If we only eat processed junk food and fried stuff then of course we will get fat and die young. I am making a choice right now not to be another statistic or case study of adult obesity.

I lost family members because of weight issues. I also lost friends and seen people suffer with preventable health issues. I am feeling more like eduction is key to really making a difference that is why I am taking my own actions. I am not just talking I am doing something now to SAVE MY LIFE.

I know I am not fully educated yet on everything about raw food but I am taking action and that is a start right?

So right now I am trying my best to learn and apply my actions into results. I am trying to fight like hell to save my own life and show everyone that this is not easy but can be done!

I don’t have a coach giving me plays to score the winning goal! But I do have my books and resources to assist and aid me to the victory of good health.

So the way I am felling right now  is this is a Battle of Mr. Meltdown VS Food!

I am just going to be honest with you from the jump. I am so pissed off with nagging friends who put you down for trying something new that they don’t understand. Why do people always slam you about going raw if they truly don’t understand the lifestyle?

Let me ask you a question and I want your honest opinion on this so PLEASE DON’T HOLD BACK!  I have a lady friend who I will not put on blast by saying her name but she knows who she is trust me.

It seems that every time I talk in excitement about going raw she finds something negative to say. Now don’t get me wrong she is extremely intelligent and I do value her opinions but damn she can be so opinionated when it comes to the raw food diet.

I don’t know if it is because she has a genius IQ and I am serious she really does. But lately when I talk about my new lifestyle and kicking meat to the side and lifting weights I am slammed with negative remarks.

I am getting back into body building which is a true passion of mine and she will ask questions concerning protein. I tried to explain to her that I can still get my protein from nuts, soy and raw protein shakes etc.. But she punked me out and went Dr. Phil on me!

Dang what was I going to do with trying have an  argument about health with a medically trained woman with a slight temper?

She hit me with medical text book terminology of reasons why I need animal protein for muscle building. Then she made me feel small as Adam Ant when I was not able to give her my usual snappy come back answers.

You see this raw food lifestyle is new to me still. I feeling like the Karate Kid still at the wax on wax off stage of my training looking at my master for directions.

I am learning so much from the RAW FOOD DIET BLUEPRINT but still learning how to master the the art of Raw Food finding my chi.

My question to you guys today is how do you handle negative energy from peo0ple you care about? I have to be honest that even at being 60% raw I am feeling like a new man.

Now I am getting ready to kick off my 100% go at this I am feeling Resistance from my circle of support.

I am not going to allow negative influence to break me but damn I feel bad. How do you deal with people you care about who don’t understand that this raw food lifestyle saves life’s?

Then try to explain that this is how us humans really should eat? I just don’t think most people understand that processed foods ARE FREAKING KILLING US!!

Food is our lifeline I get that part already! But when you change the way you think and others don’t think the same way you do why do they always attack you?

I have been fat for a minute but I am done with living that way. I am not going to stuff my new eating habits down someones throat. So why do people always got to trip with what you eat and how you live your life?

Even at work when you say no thanks when offered donuts, cakes, cookies and more junk people still try to convince you it is OK to have a little. They try to trick you and seduce you with food knowing your still weak, what is up with that?

If you have a friend with a alcohol addiction would you say hey it is OK to have a little beer or wine? Then why in the hell do folks always push us toward failure when we try desperately to fight food addictions?

I just want to know how do you battle with negative folks you care about? Do you hear me people? I am waiting for your thoughts on this one.

Let me start this post by asking you a question. Have you ever had one of those days when you just felt like tossing in the towel? You know one of them days when you just felt like the heck with it I am going to KFC and getting a 3pc and biscuit?

Well today was one of those days and I am telling you it was crazy! I am not a machine and I have my moments like everyone else. Today was just one of them days for me and my turn at feeling weak.

It all started this morning when I just did not feel like working out. Then I felt like having eggs and bacon with toast but resisted the temptation.

Now you know that just made me more upset and setup my day of craziness! I go to work only to get as far as lunch and smell southern BBQ someone was eating. I guess that is the price you pay for going on a diet in the great state of Georgia.

I just knew Paula Deen was somewhere hiding ready to hit me with some fried chicken. LOL

Then if it was not enough my buddy tells me that it is a box of ribs for everyone!!! Oh man I am not a nice guy at this point I promise you!

I felt like the guy in the movie office space who only wanted his favorite red stapler and someone TOOK IT!

But I made it through and now I am worn out and just want to go to bed. Going raw is a great thing but I am telling you that today it was not any JOKE!

Don’t worry I am sticking with it but dang today REALLY SUCKED!!!
