Everyone is on a diet whether they think they are or not. Unfortunately, most people follow a Standard American Diet full of ultra-processed foods lacking in protein, fiber, healthy fats, and micronutrients. This protocol leaves people overfat and undernourished with too many calories and too little nourishment. On the flip side, many radical nutrition protocols today are not sustainable in the long run. Long-term results are what people truly desire. That said, it's important everyone finds a nutrition protocol that they enjoy and that does not sacrifice or damage other areas of their life.

Every living creature has its own defense mechanisms to protect themselves from their predators. Animals and humans have the strength to defend themselves. For plants, it’s a bit different, their defense mechanisms are unleashed when they are eaten. Many plant foods touted as the pinnacle of health have anti-nutrients that can damage the gut, decrease the absorption of essential micronutrients, and impair digestion. These anti-nutrients can certainly be diminished in their effect through the preparation of these foods through steaming, boiling, soaking, and sprouting the specific seeds and grains.
