Joseph Your Questions About Carbohydrate Addicts [protein diet]

Joseph asks…

I am on a protein diet and have an addiction to beef jerky…!

Ok… so, going over receipts from the past few weeks, I have found that I spend about 80 dollars a week on beef jerky, at 7 dollars a bag… The financial part is not a problem… it’s just the fact that I actually eat that much beef jerky!!

Is this at all safe? How do I stop it? I know this sounds like a ridiculous question, but I’m quite serious!

The bag I get has these Nutrition facts on the back:

Serving size – 1 oz
servings per bag – 8
Calories – 70
Calories from fat – 10
Saturated fat – 0.5g
0 trans fat, 0 polyunsaturated fat.
mono unsaturated fat – 0.5 grams
Cholesterol – 30mg
sodium – 810mg
total carbohydrates – 2g
sugars – 2g
protein – 15g

Am I slowly killing myself? Keep in mind, I buy 11 bags on average per week…
Um… I’m not trying to lose weight… I weigh 150, if you can’t tell by my picture…

A 16-ounce bag of World Kitchens brand beef jerky is around $8.50 at Wal-Mart. Cut up into small pieces and weigh out 1-ounce portions for consumption control (like 1-ounce every other hour).

Beef Jerky is salty and that may well be the cause of the addiction.  Salt is very bad for you.  So is processed food, even when it is made of protein.  Try to wean yourself off it gradually.  It is not natural for the body and it contains chemicals.  No chemical is suited to be ingested by your body.  It’s a safe bet to say anything that that is packaged and preserved is not food fit for the human body.   It may work for our taste buds, but it plays havoc with our digestive system.

Try to aim for a natural protein diet.  Introduce regular meat and fish to your diet.  For a meal, serve a large piece of meat or fish with a couple of small serves of vegetables or a salad.  Eventually you will find a favorite among the many natural, unprocessed foods.  That’s the time to replace the beef jerky.

admin answers:

Deli meats are great… Especially chickens & turkeys
eggs
yellow cheese
Poultry… anyway you like it!
FISH! This is the best thing you can have.
Keep your carbs food to green vegetables and salads.  Avoid peas, carrots, corn, and potatoes.

I am a huge advocate of a protein diet.  It is the diet chosen by our ancestors . It works wonders. Good luck!! And by the way, its true that on the 4th day you won’t even care that you’re not eating carbs food.

 

James Your Questions About Carbohydrate Addicts [protein diet]

James asks…

What is the right diet for my blood type?

I am A+ and according to that whole “Eat right for your type” diet I should be a vegetarian, but 2 problems.
1) Eating only produce makes me ill (Eating simple carbs like rice and other bad stuff doesn’t make me physically ill, but it makes me put on weight).
2) I know I am a carbohydrate addict.

admin answers:

I do not believe that the blood type diet works. There is no evidence for it.

But then I should mention I don’t believe in diets at all.  Not if  it involves cutting down on calories, portions or anything else.  The first things you need to do is cure your carbohydrate addiction.  Once you have done that everything becomes easy.  When you no longer have food cravings, you can be much more objective about it.

Sandra Your Questions About Carbohydrate Addicts [protein diet]

Sandra asks…

I’m a heavy set person and I have had success with a protein diet.  I’m now considering non-vegan vegetarianism. What do you suggest?

I’m a big girl, and I currently eat a lot of meat. My appetite is really only satisfied when meat is a part of the meal. I eat way too much. A few years ago I tried a protein diet and lost 70 pounds, but I failed at it, because I went off the diet. I then gained all the weight back because I couldn’t stop eating. I learned from that year that I definitely was/am a carbohydrate addict. I feel like I have the same addiction to meat.  I feel I could learn even more by breaking my meat addiction. I also feel like my body and health is simply telling me that avoid meat for a while. What would be the healthiest thing I can do for myself? Any help would be appreciated.

admin answers:

You are doing a lot of experimentation with your food based on passed diets and hunches.  The one place you haven’t checked to verify what you should eat – is with your own body.  You are after all a human being with a metabolism and digestive system like all other human beings.   That digestive system evolved eons ago on meat, fish, poultry, eggs and seasonal greens and fruit whenever available.   Our digestive system did not evolve as vegetarian.   You lost weight on the protein diet because you cut out most carbs food and ate the food most akin to the diet that was our traditional diet till around forty years ago.

As you say yourself, you have become a carbohydrate addict.  All addictions, including carbohydrate addiction need to go through a kind of purge to be cured.  Until they are we continue to suffer the symptoms like cravings, withdrawals, binges, depression.  These are familiar symptom to drug, tobacco, alcohol and all other addicts including carbohydrate addicts.

You will never lose your weight for good till you cure your carbohydrate addiction.   When the addiction is gone so are the symptoms, and so also is the weight.   As long as your internal system is happy with your choice of food, there will be no more weight problems.

kirsten1 cropped Your Questions About Carbohydrate Addicts [protein diet]

admin answers:

Forty years ago this kind of information was still common sense.  That’s because people understood their body and knew what made it work.  Today we listen to self-proclaimed ‘experts’  who are very likely to get the answer wrong.  These are the same people who are responsible for today’s obesity epidemic and for the type2 diabetes epidemic that looms around the corner.

So here are your answers:

A) Butter- Fat
B) Pasta- Carbohydrate
C) Yogurt- carbohydrate
D) Fish- Protein

For lasting weight loss and genuine good health the solution is a protein diet.
