Nuts and Bolts

Cholesterol is no longer considered a bio-marker for future health disease but bellyfat is.

So long as your cholesterol is not over 300 it is something you can 100% ignore.  If you have bellyfat and can not sleep through the night without waking to pee you are pre-diabetic or full-on Type 2 diabetic and do not know it.

Treat the symptoms, not the numbers.

A sugar is a sugar is a sugar is a sugar.  You can gain bodyfat or get diabetes from eating too much fruit just like you would eating too much refined sugar.

Very few people need more than 150 grams (600 calories) of sugar a day.  Any more than this spills into the bloodstream causing systemic inflammation.  It is this inflammation that is the source of nearly all lifestyle related disease. 

Sugar is in just about every packaged product.  If we avoid packaged products that is half the battle.

If a product says "gluten-free" it is loaded with sugar.

Fat is our original natural energy source.  Mothers milk is 50% fat, 25% protein, 25% carbohydrates.

The lowfat diet is one of the worst atrocities every perpetuated on mankind

When we eat lowfat the body needs to get energy from somewhere, it will always chose easy to consume sweets.  People have trouble sticking to diets because when they eat lowfat they crave sugar.  You can not replace natural fats with sugar without getting sick and overweight.

We can find our original appetite by detoxing from sugar and eating probiotic foods such as raw milk, raw eggs, fullfat yogurt and certain other fermented foods like sauerkraut.  Man-made probiotics are a waste of money. 

We can fix the above problem by going through a 10-14 day sugar detox and then learning how to eat probiotic foods to fix our healthy gut bacteria.  Once we get over the sugar addiction and feed our helpful gut bacteria our palate will no longer crave sugars, it will crave fats, the true original energy source as given to us by our mothers.

Animal fats do not cause heart disease.  Sugar does.  This is the new science and is not based on statistical analysis like the old science.  Sugar cases systemic inflammation, this inflammation causes cortisol release which is an indicator of how stressed the body is.  The body reacts to this by holding on to bodyfat because it thinks desperate times are ahead and it will need its bodyfat for survival.  The body will burn muscle tissue to survive instead of fat.  This lowers our metabolism and makes it even harder to get and stay lean.

Wheat is not a natural food.  It is grass modified by man to taste sweet.  We mill this wheat so finely to make "whole grain" breads and similar foods.  By milling the wheat so finely we improve its palatability to please our already sugar-addicted bodies.  The body reacts to this very finely milled grain the same way as it would white table sugar.  "Whole grain" is a joke. 

Why do people have trouble defining and eating natural foods?  This is because they are taught that '"lowfat" , "whole grain" or "gluten-free" are health foods.  They are not but they are definitely profitable foods so the answer lies in economics.    Packaged foods can be stored almost indefinitely and are transported easily and cheaply.  Natural foods require refrigeration which increases their cost and decreases the profit to be made off these foods.    There is much more money to be made in refined/processed foods than there is in natural foods. 

It is very difficult to keep weight off on a vegetarian diet because this diet is at its heart, sugar-based.  Remember that sugar is sugar is sugar, fruit or not.  Vegetarians eat "whole grain" products as if it is a health food but it is not.  "Whole grain" is sugar. Beans and rice are sugar based.  Only sprouted grain breads are alive and should be eaten.  Even then, this food needs to be restricted because it is also sugar based.
