Dietary Advice - Food Combinations

Image
Nutritional and Dietary Advice Part 3 Food Combinations Check out the article below and use this provided image for guidance I know weight loss and maintaining health can be frustrating. I recently read some of the dumbest advice ever about basic food combinations, so I decided to throw some light on the subject. And no, a deluxe burger is not suddenly healthy if you take it apart and eat the items separately. Use your brain. My best advice is to keep it simple: Bread or Starches + Vegetables Vegetables + Meat Meat + Bread Legumes + Vegetables Eat Fruit on its own (do not combine) Legumes + Starches Eat Nuts or Seeds on their own (do not combine) Root Vegetables are Starches that digest like Vegetables (Legumes are peas, beans and peanuts. Starches are potatoes, rice* and corn. Bread includes pasta and items made with flour.) *Rice (brown, yellow, wild, etc.) is a healthy, inexpensive starch/grain Avoid white rice, white sugar and white bread If you insist on eating meat, avo...

The Scam Advisory - July 2026

Image
The scam advisory - a free resource from Kahunalife™ Major Scam Alert Fake Law Firm & Debt Collection Scam There is a serious Fake Law-Firm Scam in the US right now. Some group of scumbags were trying to put this one over on me, unaware that I write consumer articles on fraud.  The scam basically goes like this:  You get a call from a (spoofed) local phone number with a live rep or recorded message about a debt collection lawsuit. They explain how a creditor has filed a civil suit against you and how you need to call a 1 877 number to pay a settlement amount to avoid going to court. They also explain that you will be served with court papers at home or at work (a dumb premise, I will explain later). I knew it was fake, so I called the local number back instead of the 1 877 number.  They answered as the fake law office. Some guy claimed that an old account that I don't remember or never heard of was filing suit against me. But if I want to settle for half of what I sup...

Dealing with Disorder, Part One: Living With Enthisitis

Image
Dealing with Disorder, Part One: Living With Enthisitis Skip Pulley Author's Note: I have been, in varying degrees of constant and consistent physical pain for most of my adult life. Some days, weeks, months and years, are better than others. I have multiple auto-immune disorders that run "concurrently" as it were.  My  specific physical conditions (enthesitis, arthritis, tendon disorder, sepsis in joints and narcolepsy) have combined to create a "perfect storm" of cause and effect, leading to multiple lifelong misdiagnoses. For example, when I was a teenage athlete, I was misdiagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome. However, I was actually suffering from a type of narcolepsy related to autoimmune issues that were undiagnosed.  Narcolepsy is an autoimmune disorder where immune cells mistakenly destroy hypocretin-producing neurons, creating a link with autoimmune arthritis through shared genetics  and immune dysfunction. I understood that I had formerly been a chi...

Managing Joint Pain and Inflammation

Image
Kahunalife Nutrition, Supplements & Training   Part One: Managing Joint Pain and Inflammation This article will focus on the knees, feet and lower back Author's Note: I'm a Natural Man, both by choice and by consequence. I was raised in a naturopathic and holistic environment of practices and medicine handed down from the "old-folks" who were a combination of Afro-Indigenous (or Black-Native) and people of color who kept their heritage and tradition in-tact from Kenya and other East-African regions. My great grandfather, born in 1895, had parents who were born as slaves. That's how close we are to that era of existence - it wasn't ancient history by any means. I knew my great grandpop, he taught me to fish when I was a child. So I honor the ancestors in practice, lifestyle and appearance (the cowrie, pukka, achele, akori and bones that I wear around my neck reflect this. I do also happen to be a surfer, in which there is zero irony; I show solidarity with ...

Habit-Based Financial Management - Answers and Advice

Image
Habit-Based Financial Management from the "answers and advice" series by Skip Pulley If you're a millennial or Gen Y,Z,A, there is a high likelihood that you are going to find  physical planners, calendars and bank statements overwhelming in some sense.  This is because a personal environment "structure" is actually repulsive to you  on an unconscious level, due to predictive (media) programming,  the conditioning stimuli of modern (western) society,  the plastic/petrochemical content in the food (in the US) and your reliance on AI devices* (see footnote).

The Benefits of a Starch & Legume Based Diet

Image
  The Benefits of a Starch & Legume Based Diet by Skip Pulley If you want to annoy anyone on the Whole30, Paleo, or ketogenic diets, all you really have to do is dangle a French fry right in front of them, because these are dieters who are not accepting of starchy foods. Fried potatoes, rice, and grains are public enemies number one, two, and three in many of the healthy eating plans that have cropped up in recent years. One doctor, however, has been advising people to take a completely different route - and he hasn’t wavered.  John McDougall, MD, started recommending a (wait for it) starch-based diet 40 years ago after observing how Asian immigrants’ health drastically started to decline when they traded their rice-heavy diets for more Americanized foods (read: a lot more meat and vegetable oils). He started digging deeper and formed his hypothesis: Cultures where starch was the main player at every meal had better health.  When he started treating his patients with ...
