Change the changeable, accept the unchangeable, and remove yourself from the unacceptable. -Denis Waitley

30 DAYS UNTIL THE NUTRITION CHALLENGE IS OVER!!! 1/2 way through the challenge it’s all downhill from here. By now, you’re passed the stage of feeling groggy and lethargic, you’ve probably experienced an increase in endurance, decreased amount of bodyfat and a much more stable energy level throughout the day. Keep on track. These last 30 days are when you’ll start to see visible changes. You’ve gone through the hard part of detoxing from sugars your body learning to reprogram itself using the new source of energy. I look forward to the next 30 days and hearing about many success stories. As always, please email me with any questions. I’m committed to everyone’s success and I will help in any way I can. – WW

ROD: Kale Salad

I get my kale from Trader Joes. They have a few different types. The Organic Lacinato Kale is the best in terms nutrient density. You can tell by how dark green the leaves are. They also have a new mixed bag of baby kale, Swiss chard and baby spinach. That one is still packed with nutrients, but all the leaves are soft in comparison to the other types of kale, which has to due with the maturity of the leaves (I’m acting like a botanist now – ha). At any rate, pick one bag that looks good and:

1 bag of kale
The juice of 1 small lemon
2-3 tablespoons of EVOO
3/4 of a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar
2 strips of uncured bacon, diced up
1/4 of an avocado
Pinch of sea salt
A few cranks of the fresh ground black pepper
Toss a few organic blueberries or sliced up strawberries in there too

Mix all contents in a salad tosser, or something where you can shake thoroughly to ensure the oil and vinegar mix well. Let chill in frig for at least 2-4 hours to let the lemon juice tenderize the kale leaves. This salad is high in fat with the bacon, avocado, and, EVOO. As you know by now, kale is the most nutrient dense food on the planet per calorie. There are tons of vitamins and minerals. The reason why I mix it with all this fat is because I want to ensure that my body absorbs all of the vitamins from the kale. The majority of the vitamins are fat soluble vitamins, which means you need fat to absorb then. Enjoy!
