It never ceases to amaze me how everyone just KNOWS the cure for obesity. Surprising its such a problem.
Of course I just knew it too, despite the fact that I was usually obese and graduated to adult onset diabetes and metabolic syndrome. I guess I just felt my implementation was faulty.
Fortunately to me I read “Good Calories, Bad Calories” by Gary Taubes (lots of youtube videos if you want it quick).
Now I’m lean for the first time in my life and my blood work is stellar.
Taubes simply looks at the science that has been completely ignored by the current crop of nutrition “scientists”. The bottom line is that, for susceptible individuals, over consumption of carbs is the problem. Exercise is useless in this case, as are diets, the only cure is reducing carb consumption below the threshold that cause disease in the individual.
Obesity is a disease! What a concept! There are no such things as healthy carbs, only less harmful ones. This is why I had high cholesterol (240 total) on a low glycemic, whole foods, noprocessed foods, pescatarian diet (13/15/72 % fat/pro/carb) and why my cholesterol dropped 75 points when I started eating bacon everyday (70/19/11 % fat/pro/carb).
It amuses me to no end to watch these food pros try to figure out how to get people to eat more fat without actually saying so. I guess they don’t want to admit that they (and the cheap carb ag giants who fund them) have created this mess.
But don’t listen to me or that gaunt, self righteous “I’ve never had a weight problem because of my own personal wonderfulness” true believer. Watch the video, read the book, try eating this way for 90 days. Hopefully you’ll experience what I have; disease remission and leaness with no starvation and no change in exercise habits (I’ve always exercised heavily, never made a difference).
