Carbohydrate addicts are paying a big price for their lifestyle.
They receive no recognition and even less information about a lifestyle that will turn them into obesity statistics and probably kill them.
Nobody hesitates to tell carbohydrate addicts to go on a low carb diet.
Yet those same people wouldn’t dream of advising an alcoholic to stick to a couple of drinks, or a tobacco addict to just cut down on cigarettes. It’s a double standard that smacks of hypocrisy and self interest. Obesity statistics continue to climb as fewer slim people appear in the malls every day. Nobody wants to acknowledge the truth. Take a good look around. Carbohydrates foods are slowly killing us. If that doesn’t get us, Type2 diabetes will. Yet the people who should warn us because they know better are getting ready to launch the next big diet.
Carbohydrate addicts wake up and recognize your addiction.

Call me a stickler, but I don’t want to see people get away with hurting other people, even if it's done unknowingly. Today’s diet is creating more carbohydrate addicts every day and the people who push it, knowingly or not, must be stopped. If I say to you: “Do you realize that 40 -50 years ago, the vast majority of people were slim people”? You will probably flash to a thought like: “That’s a long time ago before we had fast food and people often went hungry in those days”. But you would be completely wrong. You see, 40 – 50 years ago, in the western world it was the sixties and seventies, a time of excess and over indulgence. Even fast food, although a little different, was everywhere. Yet there was no sign of burgeoning obesity statistics and diets were considered for sick people. Again, If I was to say: Historically, for the past 10,000 years, right up till 40 years ago, the human diet was made up of mostly protein. Would that surprise you? Carbohydrates foods held a very secondary place in our normal diet. You’ll probably think: Well, people didn’t live much past 30 -40 years in those days. But you’d be wrong again. Even in biblical times people expected to live 3 scores and ten. That’s just 10 – 15 years less than we are expected to live today. Yet look at the amazing advances in medicines in just the last two decades. For the Past 10,000 years, the only period when the human lifespan took a great leap backwards was the period between the collapse of the Roman Empire, and the early dawn of the industrial revolution. Much of that period was known as the dark ages – with good reason. What separated people in the past from people today was the fact that till around forty years ago, most still maintained the traditional diet. This was a diet that was second nature. People didn’t count calories, or restrict their fat. They stuck mostly to foods with protein. They certainly didn’t think about dieting – they didn’t need to. The trouble is we have all been trained in sound bites and instant responses. That’s why so much misleading, even false information thrives when it comes to carbohydrates foods and the carbohydrate addicts who suffer the consequences. It's hard to believe we live in the 21st century. Perhaps you think it doesn’t really matter. But that’s until you realize that carbohydrates foods affect your health right now and it will go on to threaten your children. You do not want to see your children become carbohydrate addicts if they are not already affected! Think about this for a moment: Forty years ago our diet was turned upside down by foolish, unqualified people who were seeking a niche on the fringe of medicine.
That’s about the time we sowed the seeds
for carbohydrate addicts.
How could we accept such a radical change to a diet our grandparents and their grandparents had treasured? It was easy. You see, we didn’t know the facts. We were duped to believe that our health and the health of our children depended on it. The reason? High cholestrol. If you take a good look around today, you will see the results of that change. Just about everybody is getting fat. It has been happening, gradually, right under our noses for the best part of 40 years. Today about 60% of us are grossly overweight. Official obesity statistics tell us that by 2020, 80% will be affected. That is probably conservative. Considering that type2 diabetes has now appeared and is fast affecting those of us with weight problems, it is a fair, but very scary guess, that if we follow this trend we might not even survive to 2050. Yet, the same false dogma and presumed 'scientific' information continues to this day. The myth about what is good for people to eat still gets pushed at us by untrained people and plain old vested interests. Had the carbohydrates foods we eat today, been possible even a couple of hundred years ago, we would probably be extinct by now. How do they get away with it? - Nobody wants to rock the boat. Too many careers, professions, industries and corporations depend on an ever growing number of carbohydrate addicts. They are not going to change their products and they are not going to allow governments to try and make them. It is the tobacco addiction V the tobacco industry all over again. So it’s all going to have to come back to the individual – to you. Only you can make the necessary changes that will prevent you and your family becoming carbohydrate addicts. What happens if you don’t? It’s a bit like climate change. We fix it or we suffer the consequences.

In my early 40's I knew nothing about obesity statistics,
and I had never had a weight problem I couldn't solve in the gym.
At that time there were no obesity statistics because obesity facts were nonexistent.
Then because of a newly diagnosed thyroid condition, I began to gain weight. To me that meant more exercise and that seemed to work, although not as quickly as in the past. But my doctor was very clear that I should try this new ‘diet’ which would teach me a whole new way of eating. He even referred me to a non medical ‘specialist’ who would monitor my progress.
This was the early 80's, before obesity statistics were even heard.
Diets were the new thing to do. Just about everybody had to try this new diet – called the Pyramid. The reason so many people switched from the traditional diet to the new Pyramid diet was the sudden scare campaign about cholesterol. It seemed almost everybody had high cholestrol.
At that time, had someone had the idea to fill a big pyramid shaped glass container with layers of food groups depicting our traditional diet. And had we then turned it upside down. What we would have seen is – the Pyramid diet. You see - the joke was on all of us.
For 20 years I tried every possible diet and my weight went up and down like a yoyo. The end result was a slow, gradual increase in my overall weight.
Then finally I remembered what my life had been like till my early 40’s. That’s when I so suddenly gave up the old traditional diet my mother and grandmother had taught me. Sure, if I had been silly with cakes and sweets, I could put on a couple of pounds but never more than I could quickly work off in the gym.
I suddenly realized something quite awe inspiring. We - human beings do not have a body that is designed for diets. In fact, we didn’t diet till the latter part of the 20th century. Our body evolved over eons, not decades. It has not been able to adapt to the radical changes we have forced on it.
With the benefit of hindsight, it’s clear that we began to diet not long before obesity statistics were first recorded.
It’s equally important to mention that this happened to be the time when the Pyramid diet replaced our traditional diet. We ended up with foods that were the exact opposite to what our body had been accustomed to for generations.
It has now been seven years since my last diet and my weight has remained normal for all that time. Equally important is the fact that I no longer suffer from food cravings and periodic binges.
It has made me realize that what we are told today about what is good for us and what is not, is pure, unscientific, untested fiction. We don't need another diet. We need to recognize that we are probably carbohydrate addicts and that obesity statistics prove we are in the middle of a obesity epidemic. The last thing we need is a diet.
If we want to reverse the obesity statistics, and give our body a well deserved break, we need to cure our addiction and get back to what was always our normal food. That was the type of food nature intended us to eat. The food our body has been designed to process. It is time to get away from kitchen table science and the foods that have turned us into carbohydrate addicts
This is a video about exactly what caused millions of people, 30 - 40 years ago to rush to the doctor to get their cholesterol results.
There was a very good reason. You see just about everybody were showing:
very high cholesterol results.
Nobody questioned why this was so. Nobody stopped to think how it was possible that so many people, who had followed a traditional diet for generations would suddenly prove to have a cholesterol problem.
Although we finally got the answer, You could say - the horse had already bolted!
