Clean eating guides, local restaurants, and the truth about what's in your food.
Start Eating Better →"The food we eat is either medicine or poison. It's time to choose."
The MAHA initiative — championed by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. — is a call to return America to real, unprocessed food. It's about confronting the corporate food system that has quietly made America the sickest developed nation on Earth.
Ultra-processed foods, seed oils, food dyes, pesticide residues, antibiotic overuse, and the chronic disease epidemic they have produced. 70% of Americans are overweight. This is not natural.
Transparency in food labeling, elimination of toxic additives still legal in the US but banned in Europe, and a return to real food — meat, vegetables, fruit, whole grains.
Executive Order 14212 established the Make America Healthy Again Commission to review government dietary guidelines, investigate ultra-processed foods, and restore American health.

They're in 80% of restaurant food and nearly every packaged product. Canola, soybean, corn, sunflower, safflower, cottonseed, and grapeseed oil — here's what you need to know.
The Problem: Seed oils are industrially processed with high heat, bleaching agents, and chemical solvents (hexane). They are high in polyunsaturated omega-6 fatty acids (LA — linoleic acid), which oxidize easily in the body, creating inflammatory byproducts linked to cardiovascular disease, metabolic dysfunction, and obesity.
| Oil | Omega-6 Content | Processing Method | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| Canola Oil | 21% | Chemical solvent extraction, deodorized | ⛔ Avoid |
| Soybean Oil | 54% | Hexane-extracted, hydrogenated variants | ⛔ Avoid |
| Vegetable Oil | 54%+ | Usually soybean/corn blend | ⛔ Avoid |
| Corn Oil | 54% | Industrial solvent processed | ⛔ Avoid |
| Sunflower Oil | 65% | High-heat extracted | ⛔ Avoid |
| Extra Virgin Olive Oil | 9% | Cold-pressed | ✅ Best for salads/low heat |
| Butter / Ghee | 3% | Natural animal fat | ✅ Excellent for cooking |
| Coconut Oil | 2% | Cold-pressed | ✅ Great for high heat |
| Tallow / Lard | ~4% | Rendered animal fat | ✅ Traditional, stable |
| Avocado Oil | 12% | Cold-pressed (verify brand) | ✅ Good for high heat |
The Switch That Changes Everything: Replace seed oils with butter, ghee, beef tallow, coconut oil, or quality olive oil. This single change — eliminating industrial seed oils — is one of the highest-impact dietary moves you can make.
Whether you're an athlete, a soldier, or just someone who refuses to be average — food is your primary performance variable. Eat like it matters.
1g per pound of bodyweight, minimum. Prioritize whole-food animal protein: beef, bison, eggs, salmon, chicken thighs. Protein synthesizes muscle, supports immune function, and keeps you satiated. Don't fear fat with your protein.
Eat within 60 minutes of training. Break the fast with protein and fat, not carbs. Consider time-restricted eating (16:8 or 18:6) for metabolic flexibility. Your body is designed for periods of feast and fast.
Post-workout: protein + fast-digesting carbs (fruit, rice, potato). Sleep is recovery. Prioritize magnesium, zinc, and vitamin D3+K2. Creatine monohydrate is the most researched performance supplement in history — take it.
Rucking + lifting + real food. The warrior diet is not complicated: prioritize protein, eliminate ultra-processed food, stay hydrated, and train fasted occasionally to build metabolic resilience. Discipline in the kitchen = discipline in the field.
The Relentless Standard: Real meat. Real vegetables. Real water. No seed oils. No artificial dyes. No sugar-sweetened drinks. Supplements only where food falls short. This is not a diet — this is a standard of living.
Sushi done right is one of the cleanest, highest-protein meals you can eat. Here's how to eat it intelligently — and which fish to choose. See also: RelentlessFishing.net for Florida fishing guides.
Wild Alaskan Salmon — highest omega-3, low mercury
Yellowfin Tuna — lean, high protein, moderate mercury
Mackerel — excellent omega-3, very affordable
Flounder / Halibut — mild, white fish, low mercury
Shrimp — low calorie, high protein, buy wild-caught
Bluefin Tuna — high mercury, eat sparingly
Swordfish — high mercury, limit to 1x/week
King Mackerel — high mercury (choose Atlantic instead)
Tilapia — farmed, high omega-6, low nutrition
Imitation Crab — processed, avoid
"Sushi-grade" means the fish was frozen to FDA-recommended temperatures to kill parasites. Ask your restaurant if fish is flash-frozen. Wild-caught Pacific fish is generally safer than farmed Atlantic. Reputable restaurants flash-freeze at -31°F for 15+ hours.
Florida anglers eating their catch have access to some of the freshest sushi-grade fish anywhere. Mahi-mahi, snook, grouper — prepared properly, Florida's local catch rivals any restaurant. Visit RelentlessFishing.net for Florida fishing guides.
