#2 cured meats can be a problem for sure. The nitrite/nitrate thing is a bit controversial; a lot of people think it's the devil and others think it's benign (hey there's nitrates in celery). I don't think the science is decided here but I know one way to mitigate these issues is to smoke/cure the meat yourself.
No offense, but you guys should not be giving advice on nutrition.
Since Adam did not mention any medical background degree for either one of you, I assume you just read up on stuff on the internet.
You should leave giving in-depth advice to medical and nutrional experts (to be fair, not all of them know what they are talking about).
I only read some of Terrance's posts, so maybe I should only mention him and not Jason.
Cured/processed/red meats have been shown to be carsinogenic (an agent directly involved in causing cancer) a long time ago. This is not some vegan hippy conspiracy. No expert will tell you that these foods are healthy and they should be avoided. No matter what your genetic profile looks like.

And you guys talk about butter in coffee? Since when is butter healthy for you?
EDIT:
I read a little bit more of what Terrance wrote, and it's getting worse and worse.
You are basically the same as all these bodybuilders giving advice on nutrition, despite having no clue what they are talking about.
Carbs are the devil, protein powder and BCAAs are our Gods and make sure to never ever eat fruit, am I right?
Your advice may allow people to lose some weight, but it will not be making people healthy.
What you are doing is irresponsible and dangerous. You are confusing people who want to learn something about this topic and giving them bad habbits.
Of course you are right about the obvious stuff like sleeping enough, not eating fries, working out etc., but beyond that it gets bad.
Sorry to be so harsh, but this whole thread is just not a good idea.
EDIT 2: Not sorry anymore, Terrance. You absolutely have no clue what you are talking about.
We appreciate that you are genuinely trying to help people without selling any programs or products, but please stop this mess.
