You have been tricked for too long!

We have been tricked for generations as to what we should be eating on a daily basis. Everywhere you look there’s processed foods, potato chips, breads, pasta‘s and sugar in everything. If you look back 60 years or more you lived off the land and were not limited to all refined carbohydrates and junk food.

American Heart Association’s has convinced people by giving there seal of approval for eating sugary cereals along with bread, pasta, bagel and such. You were taught to limit your intake of low carbs such as steak and pork chops and to lower your fat consumption. So what has happened? Society has turned to junk food, refined carbohydrates, sugar and flour. Every year statistics confirm that obesity is escalating, thus fat phobia. You are afraid to eat fat so instead you are eating carbs.

People are gradually learning that they have been misinformed and are starting to eat low carbohydrates.

David Diamond PhD, a professor in the department of psychology in Florida was overweight; his triglyceride (which is fat in the blood) and his LDL bad cholesterol were sky high. His doctor recommended for him to cut back on beef (meats) and fat and to start pumping iron. Two years later his triglyceride and cholesterol were even higher.

David Diamond did some research:

William Banting’s theory in the 1800’s been; don’t eat starchy foods and exclude bread and potatoes. Eat 10% carbs, 70% fats, basically eating low carbs.

Robert Atkins theory in 1972 was; eating a low carb diet, red meat, butter and fat does not increase you cholesterol and you will lose weight.

The view of the medical world has been changing and they are more receptive to controlled carbohydrate weight loss. Scientific evidence is beginning to support a controlled low carb nutritional approach. Studies show that sugar, refined white flours and junk foods are bad for your health. By eating a low carb diet you will control your weight, achieve good health and help prevent disease, increase your energy level and your mental status.
