What is the biggest obstacle to losing weight?
Maybe it is the bombardment of conflicting advice,
which leaves us uncertain about who to trust. It
could also be that on some level we are all aware
that none of the diet advice we are pounded with
today is backed up by either facts or logic. It
also does not consider carbohydrate addict’s, or
their addiction.
Before you put anything into your body should you
not first know how your body works and what effect
it is likely to have? Most people used to know
that. But since diets began, all matters concerning
our body have been handed over to people who have
no interest in how the body works or feels. Their
interest is confined to ways they can influence us
on what we put into the body.
Fundamental information about your body is not
rocket science. Unfortunately, people no longer
seem prepared to share that information. They
prefer to shroud it in mystery and quasi science.
That may be because you can only remain an ‘expert’
as long as you possess exclusive knowledge.
It’s critical for us to know what happens when we
eat the wrong food. The thing is, once we know it,
we can only come to one irrefutable conclusion:
Diets don’t work. They can’t because the body does
not allow it. This is the truth so called ‘experts’
fear. At least those who know how the body works.
Many do not!
Is it any wonder the people who profit from our
weight problems either don’t know the facts, or they
do not want YOU to know them? Not knowing is what
leaves us powerless to challenge the next charlatan
who can show us a completely new way to lose weight.
As long as we don’t understand our own body we are
easily persuaded to follow any diet guru who offers
us hope.
I’m going to ask one simple question: When people
started to diet 40 years ago were they mostly slim?
The easy answer by anyone who was an adult at that
time is a simple Yes! In less that forty years of
dieting, we have gone from a majority of slim people
to a majority of fat people and every statistic
indicates that in another decade 80% of us will be
fat– and that number will still increase.
Based only on basic anatomy, something we should all
know, we have to conclude that diets do not work!
In fact there is an extremely good case to suggest
that diets are the cause of the obesity epidemic
and the looming type2 diabetic epidemic we see today.
If you don’t know how your body works how are you
expected to know what kind of food to eat?
When you get a pet, don’t you first ask what kind of
food to give it? Do you really want to trust other
people, who have their own agenda to tell you what
to put into your body?
The thing is once you know, in simple terms, how
your body works, you will know exactly what to feed
it and what not to feed it. You will quickly realize
that diets truly don’t work and will stop you from
any chance of ever losing your weight for good.
