Step 2 of 6
inSANE
FACT: Protein does NOT cause cancer & Focus on Proven Science vs. Propaganda
Listen
Note 1
The Harvard Medical School and repeatedly and publically refuted claims that eating only plants is healthiest way to eat.
Note 2
Joel Fuhrman, MD: “You can achieve the benefits of a vegetarian diet, without being a vegetarian or a vegan.”
Note 3
Bad things happen if you eat too much of anything. However, by focusing on Nutrient-Dense Protein, you are about as likely to overeat protein as you are to over drink water.

SANE
Help Your Body Heal with NUTRIENT-DENSE Sources of Protein & Focus on High-Quality vs. Low-Quality Rather than Plants vs. Animals
Listen
Note 1
Especially in women, protein protects against disease while reducing overeating and assisting with fat burning.
Note 2
Criticisms against protein are not supported by clinical science and aren’t criticisms against protein. They are propaganda attacking eating anything other than plants. Let’s focus on science, serenity, and SANEity, not slander.
Note 3
A SANE lifestyle is plant-based. Our plates will be filled with mostly Non-Starchy Vegetables and a large chunk of our calories will come from plant fats such as cocoa, coconut, avocado, macadamia nuts, flax, and chia.

Quiz
Remember these? Give them one more try now that you’ve spent a few minutes going SANE.
Q1
Eating more Nutrient-Dense Protein increases your risk of getting cancer.
True
Try again.
False
Correct! Eating protein causes cancer the way watering gardens causes weeds. Just as you don’t effectively avoid weeds by depriving your garden of water, you don’t effectively avoid cancer by depriving your body of protein.
Q2
Every single study ever conducted that paints protein in a broad negative light was not studying Nutrient-Dense Protein.
True
Correct! Every single study ever conducted that paints a broad negative picture of protein was looking at the same inSANE low-quality sources of protein you should avoid while going SANE. For example, unnatural processed meats, hot dogs, baloney, pink slime, inhumanely raised, hormone-injected, and grain-fed animals, etc.
False
Try again.
Q3
Taking a SANE approach to protein has been shown in studies to improve your cholesterol, reduce your risk of heart disease, reduce blood pressure, and to reverse Type 2 Diabetes and insulin resistance.
True
Correct! American Journal of Clinical Nutrition: “Higher-protein, lower-carbohydrate diets have been found to have positive effects on reducing risk factors for heart disease, increasing HDL cholesterol, and reducing blood pressure…and have also been investigated for treatment of type 2 diabetes with positive effects on [blood sugar control].”
False
Try again.
Step 5 of 6
Support
The number of people keeping you accountable is your #1 predictor of long-term success.
Sharing your SANEity enables you to enjoy instant accountability and support from your social networks. The science is 100% clear: The more you share your SANEity, the more success you will enjoy.
