In this episode, I sit down with Mark Ritz, co-founder of Carnivore Snax. Mark's journey is fascinating, from starting the Ritzfit podcast and ecommerce company to eventually launching Carnivore Snax with his partner Sylvia.Mark shares the origin story of Carnivore Snax, beginning with Sylvia's personal health journey with the carnivore diet. We loved hearing how they built an audience around her story first before running a successful Kickstarter campaign in 2020. Mark gives us an inside look into the ups and downs of rapidly scaling Carnivore Snax over the past few years - expanding their product line, working directly with regenerative farms, and handling all the adversity that comes with running a growing business.Whether you're an aspiring entrepreneur, interested in the carnivore diet, or care about regenerative agriculture, we think you'll get a ton of value from Mark's transparency and wealth of knowledge in this episode.

This week I chatted with Mark Ritz about shopping beneath the label. Mark is the founder of Ritzfit, an online platform that aims to connect concerned consumers to brands sourcing and processing their products with integrity. Every brand that is Ritzfit approved, goes above and beyond on every detail of it's sourcing and processing. For example, a nut butter that is featured is made with wild, organic pecans that are sprouted to remove phytates and then stone ground for 48 hours to produce an end result customers refer to as "liquid gold". To top it off, every Ritzfit approved product is vetted by a team of sourcing and ingredient experts and the company must also show heavy metal reports with certificate of analysis. As you can see, each product they feature is top of the line in terms of purity and nutrient density. I am so grateful that Mark has created a platform like this since there are so many deceptive marketing practices out there making it tough for even the most discerning of consumers. TOPICS DISCUSSED DURING THE EPISODE: Why and how to shop beneath the label Problems with buyers completely letting their guards down in stores like Whole Foods, Trader Joes, Thrive Market, ect. and thinking EVERYTHING in there is inherently healthy The rigorous process each product goes through to get Ritzfit approved Why sourcing is so important Dirty secrets the natural food industry doesn't want you to know Could vegetable oils actually be the main driver of obesity and chronic illness?! (yes, more so than sugar!) I learned so much during the conversation! At one point, my jaw was basically on the floor and I was left speechless when Mark shared some of the practices that many brands participate in to keep costs low. This is definitely an episode you won't wanna miss!

Hey Weight Loss Nation! Weight Loss Nation I've been hearing many people talking about "clean eating" these days. What does "clean eating" really mean? Am I supposed to take a shower or brush my teeth before i eat something? Am I supposed to put on a clean shirt before I sit down to eat? Maybe, being "clean" before I eat has nothing to do with it. I went to my resource of podcasters, and I contacted Mark Ritz, who is host of the "No Diet Podcast," and proclaimed "clean eater." After speaking with Mark Ritz, I had a much better understanding of "clean eating," and I asked him to be a guest on Weight Loss Nation to help all of us have a better understanding of "clean eating." I'm happy to report.... Weight Loss Nation is all about clean eating! Wow! I've been "clean eating" the past year and I didn't even know it! Every time I state the Weight Loss Nation adage..... "If it grows out of the ground, hangs from a tree, roams the earth, flies in the sky or swims in the ocean.....I can eat it" That Is EXACTLY what Clean Eating is! So..... Clean eating is eating "Real" food. Which is exactly what we proclaim here on Weight Loss Nation Mark Ritz discussed taking "clean eating," a step further, by finding supplements and protein powders that are "clean." Mark Ritz is searching for protein powders and other "healthy" proclaimed "clean" foods, researching the products and "testing" the alleged "clean foods" with his brother Louie. He will then publish his results on the "No Diet Podcast." I asked Mark to give us his "clean food" he likes best as a go-to snack food. Mark Ritz said without hesitation - Macadamia Nuts. Macadamia Nuts have tremendous nutritional value. They also have "monounsaturated" fat, which helps to lower LDL (bad) cholesterol. With that in mind, you MUST pay attention to the caloric content in Macadamia Nuts. In a 100g serving of Macadamia Nuts, that's 3.50z for people like me, who are not good in math.....there are 718 calories. NO TYPO Nation! 718 calories! Eat Macadamia Nuts.....but sparingly! They have 8.5g of Fiber and a wealth of vitamins and minerals. They also have one of the highest caloric values of seeds, nuts and kernels. Again......weigh them or measure them before eating! Macadamia Nuts are a CLEAN Food! ***Ritz Fit SPECIAL FOR WEIGHT LOSS NATION *** The First FIVE WLN Listeners who Email Mark Ritz about his Clean Eating Course, and enroll in the course, will receive a FREE Ritz Fit Tee Shirt!

Are you happy with losing weight only to gain it back again? Do you have too much "stress" in your life? I've said all of those things and I've had every excuse in the book on why I couldn't keep weight off. Or.......
