Dear John,
Fabulous early April greetings. April has been nearly perfect for livestock. The photos of the
week below are in perfect grazing conditions at our Gulf Coast grazing center. The steaks from these cattle will bring many smiles from backyard
grilling chefs.
This weeks newsletter features two excellent articles on fast fat loss systems. Kelley
Herring defines the Keotgenic diet and explains why it is so effective when Paleo consumers lighten up on carbohydrate
items in their paleo diet protocol to be true hunter gatherers. Scott Mendelson offers a work out routine to speed
up the fat loss via a specific training protocol. You will note a very interesting set of before and after photos
which happened in weeks and not months. Yes, grass-fed beef, lamb and bison are critical pieces of the diet and excercise plan.
The Spring body tune up is not complete without Dr. Sears defining what healthy folks have in common.
This is a must read for more than just the 15% off red letter promo code
within the article. Our ancestors were very savvy consumers!
The word smashed is not typical in
recipe descriptions, but you will get a hoot out of the recipe of the week below. The center piece of the recipe
would not be on many breakfast menus, but Stephanie Gaudreau of Stupid Easy Paleo fame, is an extraordinary surprise
artist in the kitchen. Suggest you explore the recipe and add your own personal twist beside bacon and eggs
to match your tastes.
Don't forget to follow us on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest or our Blog.
Thank you for your past patronage and future
consideration.
April Regards,
John, Lee Ann,
Tressa, Amanda & Laura on behalf of the farm families of US Wellness Meats.

Dr. Al Sears | What All Healthy People Have In Common
By: Dr. Al Sears, MD Each year, I travel
more than 20,000 miles to study what makes people healthy. But most other doctors don't get my research methods.
Mainstream doctors only treat - and most researchers only study - sickness. They don't consider health. They
look at a disease and then try to find a pill.
I'm different because I focus on what healthy people have in
common. I ask what protects them from disease.
Western medicine has come to see people's ailments like little
packages of symptoms to be drugged or cut out. It has lost sight of the whole person behind the rash or the tumor, and
the emotional and environmental factors that have contributed or even caused the physical problems in the first
place.
Even in medical school, I was different. I was inspired by a pioneering dentist and nutritionist named
Weston A. Price - and I still am! _________________________________________________________ Editors Note: Dr. Al Sears, M.D. is a board-certified clinical nutrition specialist. His
practice, Dr. Sears' Health & Wellness Center in Royal Palm Beach, Fla., specializes in alternative medicine. He is the
author of seven books in the fields of alternative medicine, anti-aging, and nutritional supplementation, including The
Doctor's Heart Cure. To get his free special report on the proven anti-aging strategies for building a vibrant,
disease-free life, go here

The Paleo Ketogenic Diet: The Most Effective Way to Lose Weight
By: Kelley Herring, Healing Gourmet
Are
you following a "paleo" diet... and yet still find that you haven't lost all the weight you'd like to? If so, you're not
alone. While following an ancestral diet is a powerful way to provide your body with more disease-fighting
nutrients and eliminate many of the inflammatory compounds in common foods, many people find the Paleo diet alone can't
provide the metabolic shift required to melt excess fat. The reason? Many Paleo diets include high
carbohydrate foods like sweet potatoes, rutabagas, tapioca, arrowroot, fruits and many more. And while these foods are
fine in moderation, especially for those who are active, they can keep blood sugar and insulin levels high... and fat
cells pleasantly plump. Enter the Paleo Ketogenic Diet. By maintaining the beneficial framework of the
Paleo diet, while strictly limiting dietary carbohydrates, your body can enter a state of nutritional ketosis, where fat
burning dramatically accelerates. So how does it work? Continue Reading....

Eating eggs reduces risk of type 2 diabetes, study
indicates
Egg consumption may reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes, according to new research from the
University of Eastern Finland. The findings were published in American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
Type 2 diabetes is becoming increasingly widespread throughout the
world. Research has shown that lifestyle habits, such as exercise and nutrition, play a crucial role in the development
of the disease. In some studies, high-cholesterol diets have been associated with disturbances in glucose metabolism
and risk of type 2 diabetes. In contrast, in some experimental studies, the consumption of eggs has led to improved
glucose balance, among other things. However, there is no experimental data available on the effects of egg consumption
on the incidence of type 2 diabetes. In population-based studies, too, the association between egg consumption and
type 2 diabetes has been investigated only scarcely, and the findings have been inconclusive. Egg consumption has
either been associated with an elevated risk, or no association has been found.
The dietary habits of 2,332 men aged between 42 and 60 years were
assessed at the baseline of the Kuopio Ischaemic Heart Disease Risk Factor Study, KIHD, at the University of Eastern
Finland in 1984-1989. During a follow-up of 19.3 years, 432 men were diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.
The study found that egg consumption was associated with a lower risk
of type 2 diabetes as well as with lower blood glucose levels. Men who ate approximately four eggs per week had a 37
per cent lower risk of type 2 diabetes than men who only ate approximately one egg per week. This association
persisted even after possible confounding factors such as physical activity, body mass index, smoking and consumption
of fruits and vegetables were taken into consideration. The consumption of more than four eggs did not bring any
significant additional benefits.
Story Source:
The above story is based on materials provided by University of Eastern Finland.

Training Strategies to Double The Rate of Fat Loss in Time for Spring!
By: Scott Mendelson
Scott,
I have noticed that many of your programs include super sets, tri sets or even giant sets
which include pretty short rest periods. Can you explain the benefits? I have lost 15 pounds of body fat since
January 1 and I credit the interval sprint routines you have discussed in your articles. What can I do to take
intervals to the next level to burn off another 10 pounds of fat during the next 30 days before spring hits?
Jimmy
Jimmy, there is method to all of my madness to accelerate body transformation progress with
maximum efficiency. The Rapid Fat Loss training routine below features super sets in their purest format to
accelerate neurological recovery between sets which govern strength levels. The higher the training
quality measured by strength improvements and other performance factors- the higher the levels of fat burning hormones
will surge. We are going to elaborate within our new Weight Training for rapid fat loss blog post. Over the last 15 years my clients have
consistently remarked during the early phases of customized training programs that they felt like they did 90 minutes of
work in 45 minutes or less due to the rapid pace of training. Better yet their strength levels improved over time
without injuries or fatigue during training. We are able to earn these benefits by properly training the muscles
as well as the nervous system. Continue Reading.....

The Best Chicken Backs for
Stock!
When I made the batch of broth with these chicken backs and picked the bones out of
the broth meats, I was a little astonished by how healthy the birds these backs came from were. Thanks also for
including the neck and all the little glands and organs attached to the under side of the backs, I'm sure I'll get lots
of extra vitamins and minerals from those! But the really amazing thing was how healthy the bones were. I've
had one other chicken like these from a local farmer. His eggs are really nice, and when I bought one of his
rarely offered whole birds, I saw why the eggs are so nice. His and yours have bones that are well developed, with
intricate flutes on the ends and bends and turns and grooves in them that you don't see on less healthy chickens. And
all of them are hard, even the small bones. One of the things I used to hate about less healthy chickens (before I
knew how sickly they were) was picking the bones out of the broth meats and how all those little bones in the back would
break and crumble, and sometimes it was hard to tell whether a bit was a piece of bone or a piece of toughish meat. No
questions with these chickies - their bones were rock hard, right down to the teeniest ones, and none of them broke or
crumbled. Well, now if I get another chicken with straight, smooth, skinny little bones, I'll know for
sure it didn't have a happy and healthy life. And I know where to get ones that did! Deborah S.

Paleo Smashed & Loaded Sweet Potato
Ingredients:- 1 roasted sweet potato, peeled
- Ghee, coconut oil or fat of choice
- 2 eggs
- Topping: shredded beef, shredded pork, avocado, bacon, jalapeno rings, etc...more
creativity the better
Directions: - Heat a skillet over medium-high (I like cast iron for
this job). Add ghee or your fat of choice.
- Put the pre-cooked sweet potato in the skillet. Press
flat with a fork or spatula. Fry on each side for 2-4 minutes or until the sweet potato caramelizes (but doesn't
burn). Remove to a plate.
- In the same pan, add more ghee. Fry two eggs (or more if you're hungrier) in whatever
style you'd like. I made mine over-easy so the yolk would run all over my potato. Tasty.
- Stack your smashed and
loaded sweet potato: add the eggs on top of the sweet potato then layer with your toppings of choice.
- Rejoice in
how tasty your breakfast is. Consume.
