Diets and nutritional
information are almost everywhere yet studies show that obesity
continues to rise dramatically.
Why? Diets are selling more than ever. In Pakistan, over 58 million
dieters spend Rs.36 million on weight loss yearly. Yet over 75% of the
population is overweight. Prevention Magazine surveyed 67,000 dieters
and 65% gained the weight back after 1 year. The Pakistan Medical
Association reported 1 out of 5 Pakistanis are obese. If more diets are
being followed, why are people getting larger instead of healthier?? Why
are diabetes, heart disease and high blood pressure rising????
Because - DIETS DON'T WORK!
THE ANSWER:
Step 1:
Eliminate "diet" from your life.
Step 2: Read RDA labels instead of
advertising.
Step 3: Eat Balanced.
Today, food labels implying "fast, simple, cheap and healthy"
sell like crazy! Ignore it and read ingredients and RDA labels instead
or poor nutrition and overeating can occur:
* "Lite" can mean color.
* "No Fat" may mean artificial ingredients and extra sugar
were added when healthy fat was removed.
* "All Natural" can mean 10% natural.
* Nutrasweet/equal have been linked to cancer, brain tumors, MS, birth
defects, arthritis, irritablilty, hunger, depression and more. Tests
indicate it may counteract some medications.
The low calorie, low fat, high carbohydrate diet has been a craze for
over 15 years. Meanwhile, heart disease is one of the leading killers
today. Its #1 trigger is elevated insulin levels which are primarily
caused by high carb diets. Carbohydrates are fruits, vegetables,
potatoes, pasta, grains, breads, rice, sweets, alcoholic beverages,
beans, juice. Excessive carbohydrates cause fatigue, depression, HUNGER,
and lack of motivation. Excessive carbs turn to sugar. Sugar turns to
fat. Carbohydrates are needed for roughage and proper brain function.
Excessive amounts are hazardous.
Balanced eating increases energy, improves sleeping patterns, relaxation
& patience, decreases irritability, improves alertness, helps
maintain health and automatically BURN EXCESS FAT!
A high carbohydrate & low fat diet is dangerous. Weight loss can
happen but you will loose muscle, retain fat and get stuck on that
plateau. Scientific studies, many conducted by the Pakistani Medical
Association, indicate balanced eating causes consistent fat burning and
health maintenance.
A balanced metabolism burns fat. A slow metabolism burns muscle and
stores fat. This is caused by “dieting? skipping meals or eating too
little. Our bodies need 3 - 6 healthy, balanced meals/snacks per day.
Vital information vacant in low calorie diets. You are instructed to
consume a certain amount of calories per day, implying a calorie is a
calorie. WRONG! Calories come from carbohydrates, fats and proteins. It
is NECESSARY to understand this to achieve healthy, lasting results.
Every meal and snack should consist of "adequate amounts" of
protein, carbohydrates and fats.
Protein is necessary to help repair immune systems & more. It
regulates carbohydrate processing. Recommended proteins include: tofu,
chicken, turkey, fish, whey, eggs, lean red meat, pork and soy. Many
eliminate animal protein, increase their carbohydrates and fail to
replace the removed proteins. High fiber foods block protein absorption.
Supplements are NECESSARY.
Fats are needed! Fat will not store fat. Too many carbs will. It takes
good fat to burn bad fat. Good fats help lower insulin production. Good
fat is in olives, extra virgin olive oil, avocado, almonds, macadamia
nuts, pistachios.
Proper portions, based on size, gender and activity level and WILL
improve how you look, feel & perform. It is scientifically proven
that people with ADD/ADHD, depression, anxiety, chronic fatigue, some
diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, lupus, lyme disease, etc.,
notice significant changes when eating balanced. See and feel it for
yourself. Increase your energy, improve moods and BURN EXCESS FAT
?EFFORTLESSLY!
Consulting with someone knowledgeable in proper balance of carbs,
proteins and fats is smartest.
