Food Diet

“I’ll do anything to lose weight. The beast? What beast? Just tell me where that beast is, and I’ll feed it.”

Hold on, a minute, my friend. Before I introduce you to the beast, I’d like to take a poll.

The question is simple: “What’s the quickest way to lose weight?” Before you read on, what’s the first thing that pops into YOUR head? No peeking now

Fess up. What just squeaked out of your brain?

If your answer was something like dieting or watching carbs or cutting fat or exercising or positive affirmations hung up on your refrigerator door (or, better yet, bathroom mirror) “I am skinny. I am skinny. I am skinny,” sorry, you are wrong - no, silly, not wrong about being or not being skinny, but wrong about quick weight loss.

Actually, the quickest way to lose weight is to
STARVE yourself. Hey, I didn’t say the best way now, did I? Look back - I said the quickest way.

Well, that sounds ridiculous, doesn’t it? Who in the world would starve themselves, on purpose no less, to lose weight?

Lots and lots of people, and YOU just may be one of those people who has done exactly thatstarved yourself to drop the fatand not just once either.

“What? How could that be?” you cry.

Is there any chance that you’ve ever gone on a diet to lose weight? Or maybe even too many diets in your lifetime to count?

I hope you’re sitting downhere’s the shocker. It’s likely that every time you went on a weight loss “diet,” you lost weight because you were actually starving yourselfyou restricted TOO many calories.

Or, even if you got enough calories, those calories came from foods that were empty of the right nutrientsanother not-so-obvious way of starving.

Sure, your stomach can feel full, but if you don’t get the right nutrients, then you constantly crave more foodyour body’s way of pushing you to get life-saving nutritionnot that YOU’VE ever had any of those mind-body-snatching cravings. 

You, with the help of your trusty teammates, Will and Discipline, may be able to beat back those overpowering “feed-me, feed-me” urges and cravingsfor a while. You can do it. You can do it, you tell yourself.

Indeed, you can and do “do it.” You lose weight, and the victory of weight loss is ever so sweet. You’re feelin’ pretty darn spunky about yourself.

And then, bam! It happens again, just like every time beforestarvation beckons “the beast” for help, and “the beast” rears its ugly head.

So, my friend, it’s time to meet “the beast” up close and very personal. His name: “Hunger.”

Hunger is a mighty beast. Just like Thirst and Sleeping and Breathingall those powerful instinctive beasts have one common missionto keep you alive.

You can’t beat back “the beast” forever. Hunger will take you over, in spite of your allies, Will and Discipline, and the result: You will eatjust a bit here and there at first. Then you will eventually fill-up on all those food favorites that you promised yourself to get out of your lifeforever. Well, forever didn’t last long at all.

The scale goes up one more time, and your self-esteem plummets down. You feel like a failure once again and that old, familiar feeling creeps backyou just feel crummy about yourself.

You beat your head against the wall trying to figure out why you can’t fight “the beast,” Hunger. You figure you must be lazy or weak or just plain dumb to eat the foods that sabotage your good intentions for weight loss and health gain.

Whew! Be relievedyou are NOT lazy or weak or dumb. You are quite simplyhungry.

You did not failthe diets failed you. Any food plan that starves you is designed to fail”the beast” will winevery time.

If you are hungry, you will eatsooner or later. Your hunger instinct is built into you to keep you alive.

So the next time you get hungry, instead of trying to ignore or deny or fight “the beast,” how about doing the obviousfeed “the beast” and thank it for protecting you and keeping you alive.

Oh, one little point: feed “the beast” the bestfoods packed with nutrients and fiber and low on calories, instead of foods and pseudo-foods that are overloaded with fat, cholesterol, animal protein, salt, sugar, white flour, and way too many calories that love to live on your hips, tummy, thighs, and butt.

And, for goodness’ sake, stop feeding “the beast” when it is full and satisfied. Don’t overstuff it!

And what are the premium foods that satisfy “the beast,” fill you up, and sustain weight loss, as well as promote health and fitness, over the long haul of your lifetime?

One, two, three.All together now”Whole, fresh fruits and vegetables and plant foods!” Ahhh.such music to my earsyou’re good. You are really, really good!

Oh, yeah, one more thing. Now that you KNOW the secret keys (REAL live foods) to permanent weight loss and health gain, why not take that next iddy, biddy stepput your wisdom into practice every day.

You CAN tame “the beast” and have the body you want and deserve.

All you have to do is wash, open mouth, insert, bite down, and chew!

Food Too Deadly for Pigs Sold to Humans: when synthetic varnishes were invented the varnish makers had to find an alternative market for their old varnishes, so they sold them to us as food.

Best Experimental Animals

Pigs are the closest to humans in their response to food, so the best way to test the unsaturated vegetable oils as food would be to test them on pigs. But that would cost too much, so the salesmen persuaded the pig farmers to try out this new “super food” for pigs. I have a sneaky admiration for that sales job!

The farmers were delighted because unsaturated vegetable oils made pigs put on weight explosively, and they were obese enough to slaughter much sooner, so they didn’t require as much food. That seemed to make unsaturated vegetable oils perfect for pigs, but not for humans who wanted to stay slim.

Then the problems started. Pigs would die of cancer or heart attack before they could be slaughtered. So that market closed down. Do you remember what I said about pigs giving results closest to humans?

Growth of Heart Attacks

The first recorded heart attack was in Britain in 1878. In the early 1900s Dr Dudley White (referred to as the founder of cardiology) said that he wanted to find out more about the new disease reported in European medical literature, but he had to wait until 1921 before he met his first heart attack patient.

As the market for unsaturated oils continued to expand heart attacks and cancer became the second and third (medical “mistakes” kill most people) major causes of death and obesity has become an epidemic as saturated fat use dropped from 30gm per day to about 3gm per day. The pig farmers could have warned us!

Lies to Increase Market

You may be old enough to remember the start of some of these lies.

1. You can’t tell butter from margarine
2. Unsaturated oils are healthy for you
3. Saturated fats are deadly for you
4. High cholesterol is caused by saturated fats and will kill you.

A couple of decades ago the researcher who was originally bribed to invent the cholesterol myth confessed his part in it. Margarine has been shown to be loaded with trans fatty acids that can kill you. Unsaturated oils cause heart attacks but saturated fats are good for you and help you lose weight. Think about it! How much unsaturated oil would our ancestors have eaten? They used to pig out on animal fats.

Suppression of Evidence

The main article mentioned in the resources box describes a deliberate policy to suppress the evidence. After all, if you owned a branch of the media would you want to lose your main advertisers just because you exposed their lies?

Cellular Damage

Unsaturated oils are drying oils. That means that they harden when exposed to oxygen, whether it is in putty, or varnish, or your blood stream.
Our ancestors lived on a diet high in saturated fats. Dr Yamori reported that rats given high cholesterol and saturated fat diets had fewer strokes. Saturated fats don’t produce free radicals, so antioxidants were not as necessary to our ancestors as they are in today’s diets.

The membranes round the cells in our body are mostly fat. Saturated fats are C shaped and interlock to produce a strong membrane. Unsaturated oils are straight so don’t lock together, so weaker membranes are produced, more open to infection.

Perhaps you don’t mind getting obese? If you take drugs to lower the amount of cholesterol produced by your liver you are 5% more likely to die of cancer. But that isn’t what worries me most.

Our brains are largely made up of cholesterol so Americans are becoming more stupid as they restrict the amount of cholesterol in their blood. Now that does worry me. I can be stupid enough without any help from interference with my cholesterol.

Suggested Solution

Before I mention a possible solution consider the bogus research results described by the media. One research report showed that saturated fats help you slim, and unsaturated fats make you gain weight. The media reported it as proving the opposite, which is the story that everyone hears.

Coconut is a special saturated fat. Unlike animal fats, coconut oil has short-chain molecules. As it happens these short chains can be burned for energy, and your body uses some of the long-chain fats to add fuel to the fire, so you actually lose weight.

That isn’t why coconut oil was banned for a few years. The vegetable oil manufacturers saw it as competition and did some spurious research to “prove” that it was dangerous to health. The ban was removed when their arguments fell through.

Even olive oil, the safest of unsaturated vegetable oils becomes toxic when heated too much, so although you can pour it over your salads you shouldn’t use it in your cooking. Coconut oil doesn’t have this problem.

Some chemically extracted coconut oil tastes vile, so you should shop around for a cold-pressed version.

What I’ve done is to replace all my unsaturated vegetable oils with coconut oil, and I’ve lost weight. Other people have lost weight the same way. Of course, the pig farmers could have told us that, and I wish they had blown the whistle a hundred years ago.

My new year’s resolution for the past three years has been to give up my existence on junk food and get going with a healthy, stable and safe diet. I have tried on numerous occasions during all these years to get to a plan which provided me the correct supplements to keep my body fit and healthy. I am however, going to make the same resolution next year too.

The reasons are aplenty, but in my opinion, the most important amongst them is that I have never been able to home on to one single plan which appealed to my taste and also gave me the required supplements to keep my body in shape.

The internet, the print media, the hoardings, advertisement corners, newspapers supplements etc. are all filled with numerous diet plans which will make you look like Rambo, and make your brain cell zoom into hyperactivity. They claim to be lifelong remedies for all ills. Wow!
The truth, however, is far from that.

Remember the Morgan Spurlock story of eating for 30 days straight at a fast food joint and the consequent affect on his health. He filmed the state of his health during and after the 30 day saga and put that documentary as an entry to a film festival. His health got so bad that he got the best documentary award in the Sundance Film Festival for his documentary Super Size Me. He got it in the horror category. Gained 25 pounds in 30 days and got spooked or life.

The lesson is simple, No diet plan is perfect. At least, its not a one-for-all solution. A diet plan which might one day become ideal for me might turn out to be the worst thing that ever happened to you. A diet plan has to be made according to the health statistics of a person. So, what constitutes a safe health plan? Doctors and physicians around the world have grappled with this question for a number of years and almost all have converged to a common set of answers. What differentiates one plan from another is the implementation. They differ in the type, quantity and flavor of food used. The common characteristics of every plan are as follows :-
