Paul Chek

[Addict]

I've never heard of this guy before. I did a search on this forum and found maybe one thread that referenced him. He wasn't even on wikipedia. Anyways, I came across an interview with him on T-Nation that I thought many readers of this particular forum would find interesting. Just as a warning, there's definitely a lot of skin on this site:

TESTOSTERONE NATION - Deconstructing Paul Chek
There are a lot of interesting tidbits here. I'm curious as to what people find interesting or think is completely bogus. I thought this one was good:

Toxicity means you're bringing in more toxins from the outside than you can release. You can't have a functional detoxification system unless you have a functional digestive system. Anyone who's eating cheap food is likely to have a digestive system that isn't working.

• If you don't want to have problems, eat real food. Stop eating all this cheap crap. I've had multi-millionaires and world-class professional athletes in my office tell me that organic food is too expensive.

I walk them to the window and point to their $140,000 sports car and say, "Eat that ****er then! Because when you die they aren't going to bury that son of a bitch with you!"

It's just a matter of getting your priorities right. The more toxic your body is, the lower your quality of life is.

I was a personal trainer at a local, commercial gym for about 6 months before starting my own business.. there were 2 trainers there who would drop thousands to attend his seminars, getting their CHEK practioner, CHEK Holistic Health certifications, etc.

He's a really outspoken guy, tons of interesting thoughts and theories on a whole host of fitness related issues:

That's a list of his articles - I found alot of them really interesting!

Very interesting. I am probably going to try and find his book How to Eat, Move and Be Healthy! locally this weekend. I was stationed in san Deigo a few years ago. I missed a good oportunity back then.
