The Real Truth About Diet. Does One Size Fit All?
Let’s not overcomplicate this.
If you want to heal—really heal—you need to get off four foods. I call them the Poor Four:
Gluten
Oils
Fried
Fake
That’s the foundation. That’s the starting point.
You don’t negotiate. You don’t cheat on weekends. You just stop.
Adopt the mindset that you’re allergic to them. Because if a doctor told you that you were allergic to tomatoes, you’d never touch one again. Same energy here.
Why These Four?
Let me break it down.
Gluten
Tears up your gut. Creates inflammation. Leads to autoimmune conditions. Simple. Out it goes.
Oils
This one always triggers people. Everyone’s obsessed with olive oil because of the Mediterranean diet. But here’s the truth: oil is fat juice. It’s exposed to air. It oxidizes fast. And when you eat it, it’s like pouring rust into your bloodstream.
Unless you’re juicing the olive yourself and eating it within 10 minutes (you’re not), it’s oxidized. It creates free radicals. It creates the sea monster. You can guess what that means.
You want healthy fat? Eat the whole food.
Eat olives. Not olive oil.
Eat avocado. Not avocado oil.
Fried
Fried is just oil on steroids. Overcooked, broken-down fat becomes toxic. Fry an avocado and you turn a superfood into a weapon of mass destruction. That’s just biochemistry.
Even frying in butter? Same deal. If you overcook fat—it turns on you. Want to use butter? Great. Melt it. Don’t burn it.
Fake
This one’s easy. Fake means processed. Lab-made. Chemicals. Additives. Anything that doesn’t come from the earth.
If it has an ingredient list with words you can’t pronounce—it’s fake.
What CAN You Eat?
Here’s the cheat code:
Fruits
Vegetables
Meat
Eggs
Fish
Whole foods. Simple. Real.
Make sure it’s not fried, not covered in oil, and not made in a lab. That’s it.
Yes, dairy is fine—if your body tolerates it. Some people are sensitive. Others aren’t. We’ve been eating dairy for thousands of years. If it works for you, great. If not, leave it out. Simple.
And yes, potatoes are a vegetable.
You don’t need to cut them. Just don’t deep fry them.
Mashed, boiled, baked—go for it. French fries? That’s a toxin.
Is It One-Size-Fits-All? Mostly, Yes.
Some people ask if this plan is personalized.
Look—if you’re in bad shape, we might have to strip the diet down further. I’ve had people go super strict for 60 days to reset their body—and guess what? It worked.
One woman came off blood pressure meds and hormone therapy after going all-in. She said she felt like she was eating dog food the whole time, but it worked. And now? She’s free.
That’s the point. Not flavor. Not comfort.
Freedom.
Supplements Aren’t Optional
You also need to supplement your butt off.
Why? Because even the cleanest diet today is nutritionally bankrupt.
Supplements are like air-conditioning in the summer.
You don’t need them to survive—but they drastically improve your quality of life.
Final Thoughts
This isn’t about being perfect. It’s about being smart.
Gluten, oils, fried, and fake—they’re not just “bad.”
They’re breaking you down, piece by piece.
Cut them out. Replace them with real food. Flood your body with nutrients.
Then watch what happens.
Your body already knows how to heal.
It’s just waiting for you to stop poisoning it.
