The reason people get an addiction to junk food is that it tends to contain a high proportion of carbohydrates.  But in truth, we are far more likely to become food addicts from the stuff we store in our pantry at home.  Junk food is addictive, but so is snack bars, breakfast cereals, corn and potato chips, and dozens of other things we eat every day. Often we are told it is healthy.  But don’t we all hear the warning bell sounding in the background.   We are hooked on carbs food and like all addicts, we tell ourselves it’s ok, because carbs food is good in moderation and it gives us energy.  Well, an addict knows no moderation.  And carbs food does not give us energy.  Only glucose, which is fuel for the body, and the fat we eat, can provide that.

Every carbs food we eat is converted to glucose.  Our body can only spend the exact amount of fuel we burn in energy.  Unless we happen to be an athlete, we are not likely to spend a lot of  glucose.  Glucose is liquid sugar, and our body is not equipped to store it for the next day.  It has no option but to convert it to body fat.  What is body fat?  It’s the fat that sits on your tummy hips and thighs.  It clogs your arteries and nestles around your vital organs.  It has nothing to do with the fat you eat.  But it does have everything to do with the amount of carbohydrates you eat.

 Eating low fat will not alter your weight.  The trouble is,  low fat products are loaded with additives known to cause harm.  The only way to reduce fat is to reduce good carbs food and totally eliminate all processed food.  To an addict, these are hard facts to accept.  That’s why we have an obesity epidemic.  Most people are afraid to acknowledge their addiction.   But what’s worse, the people who we trust to tell what to eat either don’t know these facts or don’t want to know.  Either way:  They do not want YOU to know.  Why?  Without food addiction, there is very little food industryleft.  Diet experts’ will tell you, that all you need to do is go on a low carbohydrate diet.  That’s like telling a cigarette addict to cut down, or an alcoholic to drink less.

If you follow the link to this free video about carbohydrate addiction,  you’ll learn not only how to cure your addiction to food.  You’ll find out how to finally lose weight for good.  That means no more weight problems  -ever again!

kbp-admin answers:

It’s not junk food that causes food addiction.  It’s the carbohydrates, in the junk food ,that turns us into addicts.  Processed carbohydrates can do a lot of damage to our body.  There have been studies that suggest Altsheimer’s disease may be related to processed carbs food.  it’s early days yet, but it is certainly something to think about.

kbp-admin answers:

Addiction to food began forty years ago when we foolishly agreed to completely reverse our natural diet.   Virtually overnight, we went from a natural, protein diet, to a diet based on carbs food.  Any Carbs food that’s not produced by nature, is not natural to our body and causes addiction.   If your mother had an addiction to food, it is possible she could have passed it on to you at birth.  We are already beginning to see unnaturally obese babies being born.  This may be a way of the future.  Children adopt the diet favored by their parents.  If parents have an addiction to food, and are obese, it is virtually guaranteed obesity in children will follow.

You can learn how to cure your addiction to food by  reading and following the simple advice in The Carbohydrate Addicts Manual.  Not only will you cure your addiction, you’ll lose all your extra weight  and you’ll never have to suffer a weight problem again.

kbp-admin answers:

First of all, don’t eat cat food, it isn’t good for you. Secondly; no it wont make you addicted to cocaine. If it’s considered gateway, it’s because people who are willing to try cat food would probably be willing to try other drugs. But your safest bet?  Just don’t eat it.

kbp-admin answers:

If you are addicted to junk food you are in fact addicted to carbs food.  Giving up junk food alone won’t cure your addiction.  An addiction to food is just like any other addiction, like drugs, tobacco and alcohol.  You’ll get addiction symptoms like cravings, withdrawals, binges pains and headaches.  All addictions can be fatal, that includes an addiction to food.   Learn how to cure your addiction, before it causes long term trouble like type2 diabetes.  Once cured, you’ll never have a weight problem again.

I have not read the article.  I don’t know about the cause and effect of global warming V the obesity epidemic.  But I can certainly see some interesting parallels.   Both climate change and the Obesity epidemic  have been caused by ill founded, self-serving human intervention to nature.  In both cases, it is possible to look back in time, to a period not very long ago, when a few groups of people set events in motion that have resulted in climate change in one instance and the obesity epidemic in another.   Beyond that, I don’t believe the two are related other than to be perfect examples of opportunism by excessive, over-zealous human intervention.

It’s fair to say that both interventions harm the many and benefit the few.  I’ll not presume to know the solution to climate change.  But I can offer a logical, legitimate reason for the obesity epidemic.  I can even offer a simple, effective solution.   It is not a popular solution, but it is a solution that works – and it works for good.  It is almost opposite to the glossy, false information we are getting today.  We tend to assume that people who present themselves as ‘experts’, actually know what they are talking about.  To understand why they are wrong, it is necessary to know your body and how it works .  Wouldn’t you expect that to be obvious?   Sadly, the subject of how our body works,  appears of no interest to the people who are in charge of today’s diet.    This does not prevent them from making pronouncements about what food is healthy for our body.

Most people who follow my advice will agree that it makes perfect sense even to a child.  But to a ‘diet expert’  is is outrageous and extremely threatening.  To them, our body is not supposed to make sense.  It is supposed to require an army of self proclaimed experts, diet gurus, cereal, health and snack food manufacturers, to name a few.  These people all claim they are necessary, in order to make YOUR body work.   They are armed with phoney science and deep pockets.  Governments do not dare question their theories. Yet they are entirely built on a foundation of falsehoods.

So lets take a quick look at all this,  under the microscope of facts.   Till around forty years ago, nobody dieted, except sick people. Like those who suffered a thyroid condition or diabetes.   Type2 diabetes was not even known yet.   Still,  nobody got fat.  Most people were slim, fit and healthy.  We were taught in schools and by our grandma’s what kind of food was right for our body.  As long as we stuck to that kind of food – nobody had to diet and nobody got fat.   Today the average person knows little or nothing about how their own body works.  They leave that to experts who claim to know everything about the ratio, the composition, the ‘nutrients’ the taste and flavor of the food we eat.  But they too, seem to know nothing about how our body works  or what it does with the food we eat.

The most important, most relevant player in all this is our own body.  It has never been considered, or consulted.  It was not designed to adapt to food fashions, or the whim of a diet expert.  The human body NEVER adapts.  It evolves and evolution takes centuries, not four decades.  If you want to learn more you can find a very useful free video here:  The Carbohydrate Addicts Manual!  Make no mistake, if you have a weight problem, you have a powerful enemy.  You need to learn how to recognize that enemy.  Only then can you fight to win back the body nature meant you to have.  That’s the body you so rightly deserve.

I think your introduction is excellent.  I would not presume to change it.  It is an important subject and I’m personally thrilled to see someone prepared to tackle weight problems head on and reveal the full extent of the damage being caused by the  obesity epidemic .

admin answers:

I don’t think it’s important whether kids walk, ride a bike, practice a sport or any other physical exercise.  Whatever they think is ‘cool’ is ‘cool’ with me.  All that really matters is that they get regular exercise and eat the kind of food that promotes healthy bones, muscles, tissue and organs.

The real cause of the obesity epidemic is not about kids being lazy and not getting enough exercise.  It’s about kids, who during the most crucial growth period, are being encouraged and pushed by ‘experts’ to eat foods that promote body fat and ultimately leads to  morbid obesity,  type2 diabetes,   heart disease,   colon and bowel cancer.

Basically the article is saying that chemically altered fructose when consumed in very high quantities is toxic to the body, which is its. High fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is basically poison to the human body and has nothing except negative effects on the health when consumed in large quantities. It’s one more healthy substance that has been made harmful to the body by chemistry and the food industry.

You must realize that just because a food item or beverage is sold freely in your local store, it is not necessarily good for you. All you can be sure of is that you won’t immediately drop dead from consuming that food.  Unless of course you are allergic to it. Heavily processed foods are filled with HFCS and other chemical additives that have directly contributed to the declining health of the general population.

admin answers:

First of all, carbohydrates do not give you energy.  Glucose does.  it the fuel that runs our body.  The body turns carbs food into glucose, but it can do the same with protein and fat.  Therefore, we don’t actually need carbohydrates.  People in the recent past often spent prolonged periods without any carbs food.  To understand why we can live perfectly well without carbs food we need to understand what it is.   Every bit of carbs food you eat goes through your body where it is converted to glucose.  There are no exceptions.  It can be a slice of bread, a lettuce leaf, a bowl of rice or a piece of fruit.  It all ends up as glucose.  So what is glucose?  It’s liquid sugar.

Gary Taubes who wrote “Good Calories, Bad Calories” spent 7 years going through all the studies over the last century & dividing up the real science from the faulty science & it clearly shows that not only is low carbs the best way to control insulin levels which balances out other hormones & allows the body to function properly but refined carbohydrates actually cause serious damage to health. See the 1 hour Taubes lecture posted below.

His main points are:

1. Dietary fat, whether saturated or not, is not a cause of obesity, heart disease or any other chronic disease.

2. The problem is the refined carbs in our diet, their effect on insulin secretion & the hormonal regulation of homeostasis.

3. Sugars – sucrose, high-fructose corn syrup specifically – are particularly harmful, the combination of fructose & glucose simultaneously elevates insulin levels & overload liver with carbs.

4. Through their direct effects on insulin & blood sugar, refined carbs, starches, sugars are the dietary cause of coronary heart disease & diabetes. They are likely dietary causes of cancer, Alzheimer’s & other diseases.

5. Obesity is a disorder of excess fat accumulation, not overeating.

6. Consuming excess calories does not cause us to grow fatter.

7. Fattening & obesity are caused by an imbalance in the hormonal regulation of adipose tissue & fat metabolism. Fat synthesis & storage exceed the mobilization of fat from adipose tissue & its subsequent oxidation.

8. Insulin is the primary regulator of fat storage. When insulin levels fall, we release fat from fat tissue.

9. By stimulating insulin secretion, carbs make us fat.

10. By driving fat accumulation, carbs also increase hunger & decrease the amount of energy we expend in metabolism & physical activity.

There is no better way to bring the body to the state of optimal health than with a low carbs way of eating.  What does that mean?  It means a high protein diet.  Protein doesn’t cause high blood pressure, high blood sugar or high cholesterol, it cures it.

U.S. Government guidelines were changed 35 years ago to suggest we lower our fat intake & increase our carbohydrates  intake. American society followed these recommendations & lowered their fat intake by 11% & increased their carbs food consumption. In this same time frame obesity, type2 diabetes, heart disease, colon and bowel cancer are all at epidemic levels. Through their direct effects on insulin & blood sugar, refined carbohydrates are the dietary cause of coronary heart disease & type2 diabetes.

A low carbohydrate diet is a high protein and fat diet.  Although it is completely possible to live on a fat/protein only diet for long term (as proven by research done in a hospital setting) it becomes boring fairly quickly. Luckily many vegetables & some fruits, nuts & seeds are low carbs food & greatly expand the diet. Most long term low carbers eat as many, if not more non starchy vegetables than vegetarians.

Glucose is the bodies preferred fuel (if you want to get technical, it actually burns alcohol most efficiently, but that doesn’t make it any healthier for the body than carbs food), the body can convert 100% of carbs, 58% of protein & 10% of dietary fat into glucose. The body can also be fueled by fat (dietary fat & fat cells) but only in the absence of carbs. Your brain actually prefers* to be fueled by ketones (part of the fat burning process), it does require glucose also, but glucose can be easily converted from excess protein if needed or dietary fat.

Plaque build up in the arteries is more attributable to carbs food consumption than dietary fats, which seems to be the conclusion of the following study. Carb consumption raises triglycerides & VLDL (bad cholesterol). Fats raise the HDL (good cholesterol). High triglyceride levels & low HDL levels are an indicator of plaque & glycation – the precursors to a heart attack & heart disease.

First of all, a fast weight loss on a liquid diet will not work for long.

 It will get very boring  and the results are not lasting.  To get a fast weight loss that will also be a permanent weight loss, will require the co-operation of your own body.  If you think about it, that’s pretty obvious.  The only diet your body understands and can help you get the best fast weight loss  possible, is the diet it has learned to process.  Not many people have used that diet in the past forty years.  The people who do use it stand out in any crowd today.  They are among the only people who do not have a weight problem.

It will lead you to the way to get the best fast weight loss possible.   What’s even better?  As long as you stick with it, the weight will never come back.

admin answers:

If you follow a diet your body understands.  And believe me your body does not understand the type of diets we follow today.  You will not only get a fast weight loss.  Your food cravings will quickly disappear. You will not have to count calories, you will not need to exercise.  Your body will love you and help you keep the weight off for good.

If you worry that today’s diet experts will disapprove then let me explain something to you.  We have followed these experts for forty years.  Forty years ago a weight problem was very rare.  Today the majority of people are over weight and heading for obesity.  This is happening not despite all the diet advice we get today – but because of it.  Look around – do we look like we are getting the right advice?  Does it look like it is working for us?

I think it’s fair to say that your body understands your body a lot better than self nominated ‘experts’ can ever hope to do.  It time you listen to it.  It doesn’t want the weight anymore than you do!

admin answers:

If you want a very fast weight loss, do not eat after 6pm.  Drink 2 litres of water a day cut out all breads and pasta.  Do not eat any processed food. Nothing that’s packaged or boxed.  Eat plenty of meat, poultry, fish seafood and eggs.  Fill up on hard boiled eggs and ready prepared roasted chicken legs or wings.   Eat a measure amount of green salads and vegetables.

Confine your fruit to berries and make sure you eat a generous amount of fat.  Under no circumstances DIET!  In other words do not count calories.  eat as much as you like just restrict your foods to what I have mentioned.  Start each day with a generous serve of bacon and eggs.  That will curb your appetite naturally for the rest of the day.  Think positive and if you have a bad day, move on and start fresh again the next morning.

admin answers:

Imagine asking your own body that question.  To your body, good carbohydrates are those it has had time to learn to process.   Our body doesn’t adapt, it evolves and evolution takes centuries not decades.  Good carbohydrates are those the human body has become accustomed to over generations.  Like leafy vegetables and greens, mushrooms, nuts and berries.  Bad carbs are those that have been treated, processed and packaged in a factory.  That includes white flour, white bread, white rice, white potatos and refined sugar. It also includes cereal and snack foods.

If you want to lose belly fat, then the less carbs food you eat the quicker you’ll lose the weight.  If you must eat some carbs food make sure it is some of the good carbohydrates.  Carbs food cannot make us lose weight.  All it can do is turn into glucose (sugar) and give you the fuel you need when you have the energy.  If you don’t burn it, your body will convert it to fat and store it on your body.  Any carbs food not used to burn energy becomes fat.  Look around, carbs food is what’s making everybody fat!

There is one kind of food you need to learn and understand –  and that’s Proteins food!  that’s the food that makes you strong, lean and healthy.  It grows and mends our bones, skin, muscles, tissue and organs.  We cannot exist without proteins food.  Carbs food however, is not essential.  We can live and be healthy without it.  We have done so many times for long period, over the centuries.  Proteins food  is the food your body prefers.  That makes it the healthiest food you can eat.

admin answers:

Pure carbohydrate foods are all vegetables and fruit.  All grains cereal, rice, lentils and all produce made from it.   Pure proteins food is all meat, poultry, fish.seafood and eggs.  The only way these foods are mixed is artificially.  Like stuffing in a turkey or ham on a sandwich.   If a label says otherwise; it’s a false label.  If you eat fresh produce you’ll have no trouble telling them apart.  As to fat.  The fat on your body is called body fat.  It is made exclusively by your body from the glucose (fuel) you have not been able to use for energy. Glucose is made from carbohydrate foods.  Each day, if you eat more carbs food than you need for fuel, you end up a bit fatter than before.    Body fat has nothing to do with the fat you eat.  That type of fat is processed and used for fuel.  Since it is easy to process it will not remain in your body for long.

admin answers:

Water is h2o not a food/nutrient.  The word nutrient is fake anyway.  Fresh carbs food and proteins food contain certain vitamins and minerals.  Unfortunately, unless you live on a farm and are able to eat the food well within 24 hours, there will be no vitamin or mineral value left.  Carbs food and proteins food will provide you with nourishment. As to vitamins and minerals?  Try some frozen vegetables.  Don’t let them thaw between the shop and your freezer at home.  It is not by accident we have so many health food shops selling vitamins.

admin answers:

Proteins food -
juicy steak, pork fillets, bacon and eggs,  Ham, fresh salmon (shashimi), grilled fish, roasted chicken, baked spare ribs  etc.  Use your imagination!

carbs food
Various green vegetables and salads, small avocado,  steamed vegetables with melted butter, shredded cabbage and nuts fried in oil,etc ..

good fats
Real butter
olive oil
avocado

admin answers:

Added fat to your food will stop your hunger.  Our butchers should never have been allowed to strip our meat of fat.  Use melted butter on your green vegetables to add flavour. Pre cooked, hard boiled eggs and fried chicken drumsticks (no breadcrumbs or batter)  are great for ready to go snacks.  Start with a big breakfast of bacon and eggs.  Remember: More fat = less hunger.   Read the previous answer to learn the difference between the fat you eat and digest. And body fat which is the fat that makes you fat!
