Category: Low Carb Dieting

Nutrition can be confusing since there are so many conflicting claims. But good nutrition is actually very simple. We should obey nature in choosing what foods to eat. We should eat foods that are real and natural and that are appropriate for our species.

Even though diet is one of the principal determinants of health and disease, medical charlatans rarely even consider or mention diet in treating disease. Changing to a high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet is an effective treatment for many serious conditions.

The ADA recommending a low-fat diet as nutritional therapy for diabetes is totally mad since a low-fat diet is necessarily a high-carbohydrate diet, and carbohydrates raise blood sugar, making diabetes worse. Establishment health advice cannot be trusted.

Restricting carbohydrates to reasonable natural levels is one of the most important principles of good nutrition. But official government nutritional guidelines wrongly advise us to restrict fat and saturated fat instead and eat way too much carbohydrate.

There are essential amino acids, essential fats, and essential micronutrients that must be present in the diet, but there’s no such thing as an essential carbohydrate. Excess sugar and starch from processed junk foods is a major factor in causing disease.

Dr. Jay Wortman discusses how the self-serving food industry fought a public relations war against a resurgence of low-carb dieting in the early 2000s. The food industry doesn’t want people eating low carb since carbohydrate foods are far more profitable.

What causes obesity is not a mystery. This has been well known since the 1800s, but unfortunately it is not taught to doctors in medical schools. It is excessive starches and sugars that causes obesity, and the proper treatment is a low-carbohydrate diet.

The false claim that saturated fat causes heart disease is a perfect example of how a big lie, if repeated often enough, is eventually believed. There is nothing unhealthy about a high-fat, low-carb diet. Humans have eaten this way for millions of years.

Animal foods containing saturated fat and cholesterol make up a large part of most low-carbohydrate, ketogenic diets. It has been falsely claimed by some authorities that fatty foods cause heart disease, but sugary and starchy foods are actually to blame.

One of the most destructive health myths of the 20th century was the hypothesis, first proposed by Ancel Keys, that high-fat diets, and saturated fat in particular, cause heart disease. The real culprits are foods such as refined sugar and vegetable oils.
