I went to the Tony Robbins seminar in London this weekend, which in general was super interesting.
The diet portion however is horrific though (at least us Peaties will think so). Can't remember all of it, but it's roughly:
- drink half your lbs body weight in ounces of water, so a 200 lb person should drink 100 ounces (3-ish litres) of water per day
- don't eat animal products, vegetable protein is "superior", so eat lots of soy and pulses
- 70% of your diet should be water-rich foods, preferably green "alkalising" foods
- eat and take "essential" fatty acids o-3 and o-6 oils
- don't eat saturated fat
- around 50% of your food (I assume they mean calories) should be vegetables including lots of broccoli, cabbage, lettuce etc.
- milk is "POISON" and causes cancer (truly amazing, they actually use these words in the notes. They actually wrote "Milk Causes: 1- Cancer". HOLY ****!)
- sugar is poison
- your pee should always be clear, if it's orange you are MEGA dehydrated. You should sip water every 15 minutes, it helps with increasing metabolism
- become a fat-burner, it's much more optimal. Vegetable fats are good, like avacados and including from seeds, but processed vegetable oils are not (i don't see how they can come up with these contradicting statements!)
- combine your foods in certain ways - fat doesnt' go with protein for example
- take pro and pre-biotics, you need "good' bacteria
- take digestive enzymes
- take green supplements including chlorella
- do cleanses every year (ie don't eat for a week, take Tony Robbins supplements and drink water)
It's almost 100% the exact opposite of a Peat approach. The thing is, I did the above a few years ago and really believed it, and it ****88 me up despite losing body fat and looking good.
I mean, this is super sad and also potentially so damaging, something like 4 million people have gone to his seminars over time, and people really listen to him as the gospel of truth.
I did a quick calculation of their suggested meal plan, and the calories came to about 1400 per day. Very little salt, very little sugar, at bed time eat live green vegetables
It's interesting because at one point, he made a statement about listening to others and asking yourself "WHAT IF what they are saying is true?", and yet they use words like poison for milk which people all over the world drink, and the language in the diet notes is so "this is the ONLY way to eat healthily, you will die early if you eat meat, dairy and sugar" etc.
