Food for thought:
Traditional fats from healthy animal sources and tropical oils don’t make you fat; they’re actually an enormous source of nutrients from which our body builds cell walls, hormones, and brain tissue.
Too many carbs, enough that raise your blood sugar over “normal”, i.e very much over 100mg/dcl, often get remade into Triglycerides, and stored in the stomach.
“Healthy” whole grains contain very hard to digest proteins, which often don’t get digested, and end up creating tears in the small intestine, i.e. “leaky gut”.
Diet Food Products are pure chemical concoctions that wreck havoc on your liver, which is the MAIN source of “metabolism”, making weight loss almost impossible, and weight gain a given.
High blood sugars are one of the main sources of INFLAMMATION in our body. Inflammation is the culprit behind almost every disease /health condition.
These aren’t facts you’d hear from many main stream doctors or registered dieticians. They were educated in schools whose funding comes from Big Food and Big Pharma, and there’s a party line that they often stick too. Don’t believe me? The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (AND) represents 74,000 nutrition professionals, and a few of their main sponsors are: Nestle, Coco-Cola, Kraft, Con-Agra, and General Mills. Who’s interest do you think these companies will make sure are represented when they donate their money? This explains Standard Nutritional Advice: eat low fat, low calorie, and you’ll lose weight. NOT.
How bout the American Diabetes Association’s advice, to diabetics, that they can eat up to 60% carbs, and that whole grains are good for them? Blood Sugar Rises From Carbohydrate! No diabetic following that advice will get better, instead, they’ll deteriorate daily, and spend their days chasing their high blood sugars down with medicine or insulin – both of which do plenty of damage with their lists of side effects. Who are the ADAs biggest sponsors? Pharmaceutical companies that sell the medicine or insulin: Abbott, Merck, GlaxoSmithKline, and Pfizer, to name a few.

If you’ve been struggling for years to lose weight or get healthy, or your health has deteriorated, know this: it’s the food you eat. Our body’s main “ingredients” are Water (60%), protein (16%), fat (15%), minerals, (4%), carbs (2%), and vitamins (2%). Plan your meals around clean meats, healthy sources of fats and oils, TONS of vegetables, some fruit, some nuts and seeds, some dairy(if you tolerate them). Get healthy, and if you need to lose weight you will. Losing weight is a SIDE-EFFECT of eating healthy.
Eating Real Whole Foods, cutting down or cutting out the starchy carbohydrate sources (from grains), improves your mood, your digestion, your immune system, your blood pressure, your headaches, your lipid panels, your triglyceride levels, and I could go on and on. It also REDUCES BELLY BLOAT. Who doesn’t want that?
