What Does BrightFoods Deliver?

Because BrightFoods teaches you to use food to quiet your distracting cravings, it can release you from years of self-defeating and guilt-ridden inner struggle. It’s okay to eat when you feel hungry. When you eat more foods that are medicinal and nonhabit-forming every few hours, you supply the brain with reliable high-quality nutrients that help you focus, process information, and set priorities, and you won’t feel the need to plan for your next hunger
attack. You’re more likely to accomplish scheduled tasks, solve problems quickly and efficiently, and feel satisfied all day long.

Because BrightFoods recommends reducing the amount of addictive additives you take in, you’ll have less damaging brain toxicity and feel more clear-headed and calmer. Most likely, you’ll also become more patient and accepting, and less likely to feel impulsive, argumentative, and resentful.

Because BrightFoods is high in antioxidants that are believed to work inside your body, thereby helping brain cell reorganization and networking, the plan can have anti-aging benefits as well, and keep you happy, bright, and functioning well your entire life. And because BrightFoods can give you more energy, you can experience a greater sense of accomplishment, think more creatively and inventively, and become more involved in family life, work, and leisure activities.

Because BrightFoods can leave you feeling happier, you may find yourself grateful for what you have, instead of focusing on what you don’t have. You’re likely to be less critical and more accepting of others, more socially interactive, and have better relationships with family members, friends, peers, and clients.

Because BrightFoods helps you feel your best, arrive at the weight you want and keep you there, you can lower your risk of developing many forms of cancer, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, stroke, diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease, and premature death.

“Physicians, as others, are often confused by conflicting news in the media regarding the nutritional benefits of what we eat. What is good for us and what is potentially or definitely harmful to our bodies? Cocores, in this easy-to-read book provides practical guidelines for patients, as well as for the physicians who serve them, on how to make informed choices to rationally eat better to live better and more productive lives.”

“Substance Abuse Disorders, or addictions, have been thought to be the exclusive province of drugs of abuse, like cocaine or heroin. More recently, food has been considered a substance of abuse, with morbid obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and other consequences the result of a pathological attachment to food. What we eat causes profound changes in the brain.

This book by Dr. Cocores is an easy-to-use guide to recovery from the disease of obesity---a brain disease that causes shame and guilt and results in secondary diseases of the body and spirit of the patient.”

This excellent book is the first to polarize foods into medicinal and
addictive. Not all fats and carbs are bad, and not all proteins and
produce are good. I found the part on the problems associated with
excess omega 3 fatty acid especially interesting. BrightFoods has the
latest information on water, salt, glutamate, whey, soy, additives,
sugar substitutes, pesticide residue, the mercury levels in 60 species
of fish, hormones, antibiotics, and other substances found in food. This
is a well referenced easy read on mind, body, and spirit nutrition, and
an answer to obesity and overweight.

Excerpts from BrightFoods 

*At BrightFoods, we believe that a craving is the brain screaming for an energy boost, or the desire to restore some missing vital nutrient so you can feel better.  In BrightFoods language, hunger, cravings and addictions are the same thing, because they’re caused by the same lack of enough high-quality nutrients, and because they’re resolved when you get a steady infusion of them.  

*You can put away your calculator, because counting calories is not part of the BrightFoods plan. We have been brainwashed into thinking that “low calorie” equals better health and weight loss, and that “high calorie” equals weight gain and disease.  It’s time to take another look.
 
*Because BrightFoods teaches you to use food to quiet your distracting cravings, it can release you from years of self-defeating and guilt-ridden inner struggle. It’s okay to eat when you feel hungry.  When you eat more foods that are medicinal and nonhabit-forming every few hours, you supply the brain with reliable high-quality nutrients that help you focus, process information and set priorities, and you won’t feel the need to plan for your next hunger attack.

*Perhaps you could say I’m from Missouri, because BrightFoods touts a “show me” attitude when it comes to selecting antioxidants for our ingredient list.  We do not blindly follow celebrities or “eat right” gurus.  We check medical references before giving an antioxidant the BrightFoods seal of approval. 

*Here’s a good general BrightFoods rule: if an ingredient is difficult to pronounce, eat antioxidant-containing foods along with it, or just say no.

*Vital oils and other medicinal foods—bioavailable antioxidants, smart proteins, and slowly-absorbed glucose—are like medicines. That is to say: too little is ineffective, and too much can be harmful.

*Over the years, my clients have asked, “What fish can my children and I eat, and how often?”  This is tough to answer, because as in most areas of health and nutrition, no one has taken an adequate consumer-friendly leadership role.  Instead, all we have is a plethora of fad diet fairy tales.  So BrightFoods has developed the first detailed guidelines to fish consumption.

*Many of us love glucose because it’s the perfect recipe for learning, remembering and feeling well, and helps us stay calm and alert.  But this is only true if it comes from the right food sources.  The glucose found in old-fashioned oats, for example, behaves like a prescription antidepressant, while glucose from a candy bar gives its consumer ups and downs similar to those associated with cocaine.

*We don’t necessarily have to make major changes in the meals we prefer as much as we need to monitor the ingredients in them.  BrightFoods has developed recipes for our favorite dishes and snacks that substitute medicinal carbohydrates for addictive ones.

*“Sports drinks” are becoming increasingly popular as alternatives to soda, according to the schools we surveyed.  But are our children professional athletes who require large amounts of glucose and salt due to their rigorous all-day workouts?  If our kids don’t get serious daily exercise, the sports drinks they chug may give them glucose surges, brown-outs and salt accumulation.

*One thing is certain: The emergence of sugar substitutes has paralleled the biggest surge in overweight and obesity in human history.

*BrightFoods believes the universe has a better handle on the delivery of vitamins and minerals than chemical engineers do. 

*Most people don’t realize that they hyper-focus in order to relax.  When you focus on an attractive person, news program or TV soap opera, your mind clears itself of thoughts and distractions, and you feel calmer. 

*“Low fat,” “low carb” and “diet” are just some of the catchy phrases that have helped to aggravate a nutrition problem in America.  But with BrightFoods, it’s possible for our students to eat their way to better health and improved performance.
