You might well expect high protein foods to be the same as low carb foods.

But the fact is,  there are no highs and lows involved for either food.  There is just a diet industry trying to keep the subject muddied and complicated whenever possible.  A natural food is either a proteins food or a carbs food.   All proteins food is good for you! Why?  Because proteins food has been the main part of the human diet from the beginning.   Our body has evolved to process it efficiently.  Carbs food was a late addition.  It remained a small part of our normal diet till around forty years ago.

That’s when our traditional protein diet was reversed and became a carbs food diet instead.  This laid the foundation for the obesity epidemic we see today.   What made us do something so foolish?  It was a fake scare campaign about cholesterol and diet.  We were led to believe that only a change of diet could cure the cholesterol crisis that had just been noticed.  What better, more comprehensive change to our diet than a complete reversal?

So millions of people changed from eating mostly proteins food to eating mostly carbs food.  This new diet even got a name, ‘The Pyramid Diet’.  What was the crisis that caused the change?  There wasn’t one.  Just a botch up with cholesterol test results.  Unfortunately it took thirty years for that botch up to be corrected.  Long enough to cause a mass food addiction that has produced an obesity epidemic.  This now threatens a type2 diabetes epidemic.  Already we can boast a greater percentage of people with heart disease, bowel and colon cancer than we had thirty years ago.

Yet, this human made disaster continues to roll on.  We still follow ‘experts’ with no knowledge about what our body does with the food we eat.   Our kids still get fed school lunches made up of dangerous, addictive carbs food.   The ‘diet experts’ and gurus, are still drumming up business for their low carbs food diets.   If your friend has an alcohol addiction, do you advice they reduce their drinking?  Or do you advice them to give it up?

What you need is to focus your diet on proteins food. That means meat, poultry, fish, seafood, eggs and in addition, a small amount of carbs foo0d like avocado, nuts, berries green leaves and vegetables.  Avoid all processed foods.  If the food comes from a factory or processing plant it is not food your body has evolved to process.

You have a mistaken concept about the right food for your body.   Calories are irrelevant if you eat the food your body understands.  There is no high or low carbs food.  What some people refer to as low carbs food are the carbs that the human body has learned to process for generations.   As to oils. All oils are fats and they are an essential part of a healthy diet.   What you need to avoid are the foods that create bodyfat.   Bodyfat is the fat that sticks to your ribs, clogs your arteries and settles around your vital organs.  That type of fat can only be made by your own body and it can only be made from carbohydrates.   In other words, excess carbs food = excess fat.

What is excess carbs food?  Your body turns all carbs food into glucose.  Glucose is liquid sugar and it is the the fuel your body burns when you use your energy.  If you don’t have much energy you won’t burn much fuel.  Since our body can’t store glucose it is forced to turn it into bodyfat.

admin answers:

They have been led to believe that only carbs food can give them energy.  In fact, the only thing any carbs food can do is to provide you with fuel to burn when you need to spend energy.  It is proteins food that builds and mends our bones, muscles, tissue organs and skin.   If you are short of energy, proteins food can even convert to glucose if necessary.  In other words, our athletes should follow the example of ancient athletes like the Greeks, and stick to lots of meat, fish and seafood.

admin answers:

The expression: non-carbohydrate food is ridicules.  If the food is non- eg without carbohydrates, then it must be something else.  It is frightening to realize that the word Protein, has become so dangerous to the diet industry that they have finally succeeded in making the word superfluous. So here is my answer.  If you want something other than carbs food,  (and that would be a good thing) , then eat some proteins food.  That means meat, poultry, eggs, fish, seafood and make that the main part of your meal.  That’s what your grandparents did as a matter of course.

Hope this helps!

The cause of obesity in children is food.  The wrong kind of food.  Yes, I’m aware that you very likely follow the advice of one or more self-elected diet and food experts.   But you need to understand that these ‘experts” may know a lot about food, but they know little or nothing about the human body.  The right food is not about  food that looks good or makes us intuitively believe it’s healthy.  These feelings are not natural.  They are instilled by constant, persuasive advertising.

Cereal is not a health food and it cannot be made from Protein.  Green food is not necessarily good food.  The only expert on what is good for us to eat is our own body.   Today most of us eat a diet that is the exact opposite to the foods we evolved with, that always kept us slim and healthy.  This held true till around forty years ago when we were tricked into reversing our traditional high protein diet.

The effects of obesity in children is potential morbid obesity and type2 diabetes, both these can be fatal.  What also follows is heart disease, bowel and colon cancer.  There are numerous other, less serious condition to take into account.  This is the future faced by our children today.  How do we know that?  According to statistics, 60% of the population is already on the way to obesity.  Obesity statistics also predict, this trend will grow to 80% by 2020.   There is only one way to stop it.  We need to stop listening to self proclaimed experts and start listening to our own body.

We are not designed to be fat.  Nature did not anticipate that human beings would one day deprive themselves of food on a regular basis – on purpose!  At any hint of hunger, our body responds to famine.  It slows us down and gets ready to store bodyfat.  The moment the famine/diet is over our body does not rest till it has restored all the lost weight, plus a little extra for protection against the next famine.  In the present culture of  obsessive dieting. With constant introductions of new diets, obesity in children will continue to grow.   Too much money is riding on the ‘diet culture’.  The only way to stop it, is one family at a time.  Treat your own family and by example others might follow.   How…?  Just follow the link below for a free video with more facts about the effects of obesity.

Whoever is in charge of the food our children eat, is responsible for obesity in children, at least for their own children.  Schools are one of the worst offenders.

admin answers:

I don’t know about family structure, but poor parenting contributes to the problem.  Obesity in children can only be prevented by Parents.  Parents need to educate themselves about the right food to give their children  They cannot, and must not  rely on current ‘expert’ advice’.   To understand what I mean by that, please read the above Q and A.

admin answers:

Same as adults. The wrong food and too little everyday exercise!

admin answers:

There are only two active influences on the problem of obesity in children.  1. Parents and 2. schools.  Parents because they control what, when and where children eat.  And schools because they provide school lunches that are both dangerous and unhealthy.  Fast food chains advertise their wares in a way that’s designed to entice children.  But they cannot be held responsible for obesity in children because they have no control over what children are permitted to eat.

A demand for something is not a stamp of approval or goodness.  In the case of junk food  it’s merely a reflection of our busy, don’t wanna cook lifestyle and an unfortunate addiction to anything carbohydrates.  We shouldn’t just worry about the junk food in restaurants.   The far more dangerous junk food lurks in the pantry of virtually every home in the country.  An addiction works as a kind of gun to the head.  We are coerced and pressured to eat the wrong food!

admin answers:

Obesity in children is caused for the same reason obesity statistics continue to climb.  We are eating the wrong food and we have forgotten what our body does with the food we eat.  Addiction causes us to eat too much wrong food and most us don’t even know anymore what is the right food.  Our kids don’t get enough proteins food for healthy growth and development and their inevitable destiny is to end up obese, just as their parents have.   Yet we continue to listen to untrained, unqualified people who tell us what foods are healthy to eat.  The people who tell us what to eat are the same people who profit  from the foods they recommend.

This is a vicious cycle only adult, responsible people can break. And they must do so if they don’t want to see their children and grandchildren end up as obesity statistics.  It is estimated that obesity statistics will reach as high as 80% by 2020.

If you are one of the people who don’t care about your weight, who don’t mind being fat and think it’s all too hard!   Well think again.  Obesity leads to heart disease, colon and bowel cancer.  Morbid obesity and Type2 diabetes is often the result of not taking action.  These are fatal diseases.  Really! Are you prepared to take your children and grandchildren on a journey down that road?   Think about it! Their life may depend on it.  Your diet becomes their diet and when they leave home they take that diet with them and pass it to your grandchildren.  So who is responsible for obesity in children?  We are.  Everyone of us who let ourselves get manipulated and led down a path of misinformation and other people’s self interests.  It is on YOUR head to stop obesity statistics in YOUR  family.  If you dont know how – educate yourself.  You can start by watching the videos below.

Junk food companies are no more innocent of the climbing obesity statistics, than you – or anyone else who neglects to learn the facts about the cause of today’s obesity epidemic. Like well trained parrots, we repeat the pseudo scientific nonsense we call a balanced diet.  We let ourselves be handled by cereal, snack food and other industries who tell us what’s healthy to eat.  Their promoters, called nutritionist, are treated as if they actually know what they are talking about.  The biggest epidemic we have is the epidemic of false information and if we don’t stop it, make no mistake, it can kill us.  If you want to prevent obesity in children – at least in your own family. Put your scepticism into gear. Put your common sense on cruise control and get the facts.

I have never had a  halluciogenic experience from any food.  Nor am I religious.  I imagine you have no quarrel with nature.  Your body was created with a metabolism and digestive system.  As we evolved, so did our diet.  Our traditional diet, right up till forty years ago was a high protein diet.  It consisted of unlimited meat, poultry, fish, seafood, eggs and a few other bits and pieces such as seasonal vegetables and local fruit and berries when available.  If you want to get close to nature, that’s the kind of food you eat.

admin answers:

You should be able to eat what you will, but it would be great if you targeted the food that’s good for you. Targeting junk-food  restaurants as the archenemy to the public’s health is unfair.  You’ll find as much, if not more junk food in the pantry at home.  Are they gonna ban that too?   If people truly want to fight the obesity statistics, they need to educate themselves.  That includes the officials who presume to have invented the most obvious of solutions.  They too don’t know!

I’ll just say this: political decisions such as these are NEVER made in the interest of the people. I don’t know for certain what is behind this campaign,perhaps they want to clear the way for trendy, expensive “health conscious” restaurants to come in and raise the property value.  If their concerns are truly about health, perhaps they could sponsor a campaign to remove the unhealthy food from our schools. Wouldn’t you think?

Good idea, now who will pay for it. No one will consider having their house tax go up even to pay for teachers already there.

How about putting gym class 5 days a week back in the schedule? And make a different teacher who is already getting paid do it each day. That way you save money and improve our children’s fitness.

admin answers:

I think both parents and schools should be held responsible for obesity in children.   They have a responsibility to seek out the truth.  The most important thing is that they work with the same information and that it is the right information.   Many parents are increasingly frustrated by the dogmatic insistence by schools to supply a high carbs diet to their children.  Something that is strongly discredited by most experts today.  Seems the government is more concerned to placate wheat growers, cereal and snack food producers, than they are about the problem of obesity in children.  There is no doubt that we need to combat obesity in children today, before it is passed on to yet another generation of innocent children.

admin answers:

The documentary “Food Inc.” had some great stats and critical thoughts on the effects of food, in the U.S. I believe the movie Fast Food Nation had some interesting perspectives too but I haven’t watched that one in awhile. I would highly recommend “Food Inc.” it will be very helpful in any research regarding obesity in children.

admin answers:

I completely agree with you.  It is a sad fact that the real story about today’s obesity epidemic is so little known and so widely ignored.  People fail to understand that the real danger is not fast food.  The real danger lurks in the food our children are served at school and the packaged food they find in the pantry when the get home.  Obesity in Children  is not only the lack of knowledge when it comes to what is real healthy food to our body.  It’s the fact that the myths, lies and misinformation  is already being passed on to the next generation.   Government is not going to help.  They are more concerned with the interests of wheat growers, cereal and snack food manufacturers.  We have a responsibility to educate ourselves about how our body works.  What it does with the food we eat and what makes obesity statistics climb today when they didn’t exist forty years ago.

This is the knowledge we need to prevent obesity in children.  It is how we stop it from being passed on to future generations.  We owe it to ourselves and to the children today!

admin answers:

Climbing obesity statistics in general and the problem of obesity in children in particular,  is proabaly the greatest medical catastrophy in America for the past forty years.   As indeed it is in all western countries around the world. It affects far more people than aides.

I am not an advocate of simple solutions. But in this case, this entire disaster was caused by simple stupidity, by people who were keen to find a niche on the fringe of medicine so they could make a name for themselves.   it’s time for them to be unmasked and for their theories to be exposed for what they are.  Silly and dangerous to the rest of us.  They would have been exposed long ago if not for a hungry, greedy cereal and snack food industry.
