Whole foods is the only way to go, just as God and nature intended it to be.
My main man CB-tastic just got in town today and shortly after his arrival we both sat down to a HUGE dinner full of secret fat-burning ingredient foods.
A few things you should know:
1. CB-tastic is Craig Ballantyne. DUH.
2. I’m releasing a new program called The Huge Dinner Diet tomorrow. It involves huge dinners. It also involves fat loss.
Like, LOTS of fat loss.
How much fat loss? Take your body weight and divide it by three.
Now multiply it by a BILLION.
That much.
3. Secret ingredient foods are by far the best fat burning foods you can possibly eat. In fact, here’s a list of the foods we included in our HUGE dinner tonight, each of them containing the magic “secret ingredient”:
- Filet Mignon
- Spinach
- Apples
- Blueberries
- Cranberries
- Cherry Tomatoes
- Fresh Mozzarella
- Olive Oil
- Balsamic Vinegar
- Carrots
- Broccoli
- Cauliflower
- Blue Cheese Crumbles
- Wheatberries
- Walnuts
- Pumpkin Seeds
I didn’t lie when I said the dinner was huge. I also didn’t lie when I said dinners of this size are part of a new rapid fat loss diet I developed, The Huge Dinner Diet, due out tomorrow. And I didn’t lie when I said that ALL of these foods are made up of secret ingredients.
Do you know what secret ingredient all of these foods have in common?
Simple: ALL of these foods have only ONE ingredient – the food they are.
Broccoli is made up of broccoli – that’s it.
The ingredient list for raw walnuts? Raw walnuts.
Hey, what’s in those cherry tomatoes? Oh, I know! Cherry tomatoes!
The absolute best fat-burning foods are one-ingredient foods — whole foods that contain only one ingredient.
They’re natural. They’re not processed. They contain vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, fiber, and more…in their natural form.
Many folks ask me to analyze their diets and I find that they’re full of highly processed, crapola foods. If it comes in a box, throw it out. Instead, try this for just one week:
Eat only natural, unprocessed one-ingredient foods: meats, fruits, vegetables, oils, nuts, legumes, and seeds.
See how much better you feel. See how much better you LOOK.
How about you? How many one-ingredient foods are in YOUR diet today? Will you join me in eating only one-ingredient foods this week?

This is HUGE! It’s changing my shopping, cooking, eating, and shape!
I’ve been a big proponent of natural and unprocessed foods. Do we think that the obesity epidemic has no relationship to the huge increase in processed, pop in the microwave foods? Remember how your mother used to cook dinner? One ingredient, just several of them! Mom didn’t cook “Frankenfood” and my generation did not suffer from a multitude of obese children. The other benefit is avoiding preservatives. I figure if it can keep Twinkies on the shelf for months it can’t be doing anything good inside me!
What else are you eating? These foods won’t burn fat if you eat a lot of additional processed or “Frankenfood” of fast food added on.
YEs, Yes, Yes, one word, YES!!!!
(sorry for my english) it’s been a few months since i started to limited process food and eat meal with unprocessed food, some raw veggies too and i feel very much better, no more belly cramps… but i need time to prepare my dinner, and because i’m single i do not want to take time to make various dinner. So is seem that i eat almost always the same thing during the week. So it will be really great to have new ideas to continue in this good way of eating. :P
So much info, but at what point can we simplify what we are doing here and just get healthier and fitter?
Information overload with all the programs and sales pitches, is there a way to prioritize and pick one or two things to work on?
Seems like I spend more time sorting thru all my email info and videos and am kind of in the “paralysis by analysis” , sitting on the couch with the laptop inertia mode.
Not really a critical view, but I am overwelmed with all the info.
Yeah I already enjoy one-ingredient foods at 99% of my meals.. Moreover, there is one more thing that these foods have compared to industrial, processed foods.. Thay even taste better!! I definitely cannot guess how people can eat and enjoy junk, it is completely out of my mind :) Something that IS good and WORKS good should absolutely be a staple in everyone’s life, like it is in mine and yours
As it’s always been…less is more. so simple but so true!
I can honestly say that I do feel 100% better when I eat this way. I remember back in the 90s when I read the book Stop the Insanity by Susan Powter – somewhat crazy but completely correct. Her message was to stop eating the processed foods; to eat foods as close to their natural source/form as possible. When I have followed this, I have always felt better. When I am lazy and eat processed garbage, I usually feel like garbage; my digestive tract feels like it’s being tortured, etc.
Thanks for the reminder Joel. I love your articles. I find them inspiring, educational, and at times just the right reminder.
Great. I would love to read more about it. I am trying to bulk up. I did a bit too much training and not enough eating to finish my 7th triathlon.
cheers
All great foods! Question: Is Cheese(real,not product or cheese product) a single ingredient food? I sure hope so. Otherwise, I stick to whole foods; nothing processed.
I love this idea. I use mostly vegetables and fruits I grow in my garden, fully organic, and also eggs and meat. I have chickens, turkeys, muscovy ducks and rabbits. And I and my son are very healthy, although I am overweight. Growing organic vegetables was kind of a necessity, since currently I don’t have a job, so it was a great way to eat healthy and save some money. I have a lot of trouble loosing weight, mostly because struggle to incorporate excercises in my daily schedule. I have very hectich schedule with the gardening, taking care of the animals, daily houshold chores and taking care of my 3 yo son. And on top of that I have hypotyreosis and polycistic ovaries, so I have to invest a lot more energy to lose weight in comparison to average person. Dispite all the physical work and eating healthy and balanced meals, I still don’t loose any weight.
Don’t you have a Big Breakfast diet, as well? I try to live by the concept of whole, one ingredient foods for the most part. But on the weekend I might have a little ice cream or something that doesn’t really fit the bill. I’d be interested to see why a huge dinner makes a difference, unless this is similar to IF.
@ Steveb:
Steveb, Our ancestors worked harder and did not have the same kind of medical care available back then. Do you know the story about the bodies we went back to retrieve after the war? Even in the marshes etc… they still could find remains because of how the bodies were preserved. Yet the people of the region based on the fact that their diets were more natural returned to the earth with little remains. You know that twinkie on the counter has a longer life than you do? It is all in the preservatives…. The same things that make food last longer and safer preserves us too after we ingest enough of them.
@ Carolyn Swaney:T
The “rest of the world”, really? Don’t you mean most people in the US? Most of the “rest of the world” eats like this normally!
I pretty much eat that way every day. Have for a long time. but still have that “belly fat” that you talk about so often. I don’t buy processed foods at all, or sweets.
Great article! Always great ideas! Seems so simple and yet…. Well, I’m up for the challenge!
Makes alot of since!!! I’m starting tonight!!! Thank you
Sounds like a no-brainer but I must say not as easy as it sounds. Fortunately I love most all those things so I can sure give it the old college try.
Sounds great!!! But it is hard to find good food that someone hasn’t added something to it to preserve it. Can’t wait for the new big dinners!!!!

Hey, it’s Joel! So you want to know a little more about me, huh? Well, I’d be happy to oblige :-)
I guess it all started back in 2001 (my freshman year of college) when I was just a “skinny fat” 19-year old kid. At the time, I was spending close to 2 hours a day in the gym (now my workouts last about 30 minutes), and despite my efforts, you’d probably never guess I worked out a day in my life by looking at me...
