I believe there are two primary dietary recommendations that could make all the difference in the world. Unfortunately, they’re both extremely unpopular because accepting these recommendations means cutting profitability for the food industry, and major health agencies having to confess that they’ve been misleading you for a very long time…http://healthimpactnews.com/2011/what-is-the-cause-of-the-obesity-epidemic-in-the-u-s/
The two primary keys I’m talking about are:
While health authorities insist that sugar is fine “in moderation,” and that grains are an essential part of a healthy diet and can actually help you prevent heart disease, they fail to take into consideration that:
- Severely restricting carbohydrates (sugars, fructose, and grains) in your diet, and
- Increasing healthy fat consumption
They’ve been equally wrong about fat.
- Fructose is the NUMBER ONE source of calories in the US. This means it’s far from “moderate,” and this is not at all surprising when you consider that fructose, primarily in the form of cheap high fructose corn syrup (HFCS), is in just about everything—even food items you’d never expect would need it, including diet foods and ‘enhanced’ water products. Even most infant formulas contain the sugar equivalent of one can of Coca-Cola!
- Refined carbohydrates (breakfast cereals, bagels, waffles etc) quickly breaks down to sugar, increase your insulin levels, and cause insulin resistance, which is the number one underlying factor of nearly every chronic disease known to man, including heart disease

Dr. Mercola then goes on to say "So, if you want to lower your insulin levels and reduce fat accumulation, simply cut the amount of grains and sugars you eat; NOT vegetable carbs." At what point do you suggest cutting back on vegetable carbs?
ReplyDeleteMost of us use between 30 and 50 carbs per day. Almost all from non starchy vegetables and salad items. Add good quality protein and then add fats to get to the required total calorie requirements.

Yes, I use between 40 to 50 carbs each day. I have found the best thing to start the day is eggs, bacon, mushrooms this starts the day off well. A light lunch perhaps cheese or ham with some salad and then dinner in the evening. A selection of vegetables (not potato) with a nice piece of meat or fish. A dessert of fresh fruit and double cream and this all results in keeping my bs numbers around the mid fives. As Eddie says check out the recipes either on the blog or the web site.
