Good Concept? Or Wishful Thinking?

I absolutely LOVE this concept. I think it will take some time for this concept to catch on but they could not have picked a better place for it. Would love to hear YOUR thoughts!

Zero-Packaging Grocery Store to Open in Austin, Texas

• Zak Stone

Austin, Texas is already home to Whole Foods, but that won't stop a group of entrepreneurs from founding a new grocery store right in the natural food behemoth's backyard. While the new store In.gredients will also specialize in local and organic ingredients, there's one major difference between this venture and its hometown competion: In.gredients promises to be the country's first ever "package-free, zero waste grocery store."
The idea is so simple, it's surprising that no one in the United States has implemented it yet. (The United Kingdom, on the other hand, got the bulk food-only Unpackaged in London last year). Just like many people bring tote bags to the grocery store, shoppers at In.gredients will be encouraged to bring their own containers to pack up items like grains, oils, and dairy. If a shopper doesn't have his own containers, the store will provide compostable ones. It's as if the specialty bulk food section rebelled and took over the rest of a traditional grocery store. In.gredients will replace unhealthy, overpackaged junk with local, organic, and natural foods, and moonlight as a community center with cooking classes, gardening workshops, and art shows on the side.
“Truth be told, what’s normal in the grocery business isn’t healthy for consumers or the  environment," In.gredients co-founder Christian Lane said in a press release. Americans add 570 million pounds of food packaging to their landfills each day, while pre-packaged foods force consumers to buy more than they need, stuffing their bellies and their trash bins: 27 percent of food brought into U.S. kitchens ends up getting tossed out.
In.gredients's founders hope to open the grocery store's doors in East Austin this fall, provided that the funding goes through.

Results First- Fats

I love the mantra- 'results first, beliefs second'. It's something I attempt to live by everyday, and I have to say at times it's not easy. We are bombarded with so many "truths" (beliefs) that have little results to back them up. We tend to lose ourselves in social proof, or the idea that if enough people believe it, it must be true. It's time to wake up! I wanted to share some of my personal results in the area of health and fitness that were once dictated by broken and/or misaligned beliefs. This will be a series and I wanted to start with food as there seems to be a ton of confusion out there.

The Belief(MYTH): Fat is bad, particularly if it's from an animal source (aka. saturated).

The Truth:  Studies done associating fat and heart disease have been done on PROCESSED saturated fats... aka trans fat and hydrogenated oils or on animals raised on concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFO's). What that means is

Devoted to The Science, Study and Practice of Better

HOLISTIC PERSONAL TRAINING

Personal training that accounts for all of the parts of the whole biologic system, and how those parts are to work independently integrated to form the whole, highest functioning body.

In layman’s terms…we look at three major parts of our biology, determine where we can gain the most leverage, and begin work from 1 or more of those 3 areas (exercise, eating and emotional intelligence) to sustainably transform your life to meet your goals…from freedom of illness and performance enhancement to lasting fat loss and muscle gain

The 3 Parts:

1 - Biomechanics and how through correct exercise the use of our musculoskeletal system can align multiple parts of our physiology!

2 – Biochemistry and how with proper nutrition one can transform cellular and molecular coordination and communication to balance our bodies inside and out!

3 - Biopsychology and how proper lifestyle modification and understanding of how and what we think, feel and act can and will have just as a profound effect on our health and fitness goals as a good diet and proper and consistent exercise!

Ultimately it’s not so much What We Do BUT How We Do it! With the understanding that our biology is active and ever-changing we must have a program to coincide with the dynamic nature of our body. That program must be plastic, free to take whatever form your body might need at that moment. It’s not based on our ideology, but your biology. We utilize primitive feedback methods to test and determine every single time you eat or exercise what is the best thing for you to do.

“Let science provide direction and personal experience provide discretion.” We are here to make you more aware of your own feedback and offer potential solutions.

We are the Guide, YOU are the Governor!
