Low-fat Diet

[Guest guest]

Can you imagine what totally fatless meat would be like? Might as well cut a

hunk off the macaroni box and eat it. No one would buy it.

No society that I am aware has ever evolved that was pure vegan.

You can't, by the wildest stretch of the imagination, make me believe that

the powers that be don't know that the nutritionless diet they are promoting

is what is causing most of our health problems. After 30 + years they have

to know. But it makes so much money for the drug companies and conventional

medicine they continue to push it.

RE: Diabetes Diet

Precisely. And the low-fat diet is notoriously low in all nutrients. The

human body simply cannot sustain itself on such poor fuel.

Here is an example of a day's worth of " healthy " eating. It's no wonder

people have a hard time staying on it. There's very little there worth

eating.

==========================================

Breakfast: 1 poached egg, 1 slice dry toast, 1 cup skim milk, 1/2

grapefruit, 1 large wedge of melon

Lunch: 1 ounce Swiss cheese, 1 baked potato with skin, 1 cup skim milk, 1/2

cup sliced raw cucumber, 1 medium apple, 2 slices dry bread

Dinner: 1 cup salad greens (no dressing), 3 ounces lean beef, 3 cups cooked

spaghetti, 1 cup cooked broccoli, 3/4 cup tomato juice, 2 slices dry bread

==========================================

The fish oil was not given in place of the sugar, it was given to the rats

on

the high-sugar diet. Also a certain drug. It's from a study done at the

University of New England College of Osteopathic Medicine.

There is clearly far more to insulin resistance than too many carbs or too

many processed carbs. Nutrient deficiencies are part of the picture,

magnesium

and omega-3s especially, activity levels also seem very important. Eating

patterns have a decisive effect on insulin sensitivity too.
