Where Did All The Slim People Go?
A new, controversial book called My Own Plan, by Kirsten Plotkin, has just been published on the internet. It is an eye opening challenge to everything we think we know about diets and nutrition.
Today, we are urged to follow a diet based on so called complex carbohydrates, fruit and vegetables, some proteins and a small amount of reduced fat, (whatever that is). This is not the diet on which we evolved and thrived for centuries, which made us the lean, healthy human beings we were till forty years ago.
Today, our health is not a testament to what we eat; it’s a testament to our amazing resilience to withstand the damage of foods we have fed our bodies for years. During that time, the only advancement to our health, which is attributable to the diet industry, is a fast growing obesity epidemic and Type2 Diabetes.
In the past, most people knew instinctively which foods to eat. Their instincts must have worked, because people didn’t tend to put on weight, they didn’t go hungry, they rarely became obese and type 2 Diabetes was unheard of. Then, some forty years ago, came the diet food manufacturers, followed by Nutritionists and Dieticians. Here was a new pseudo science, dressed in a cloak of legitimacy, but without a shred of genuine scientific research to back it up.
We would not feed our animals on a diet of complex carbohydrates, breakfast cereals, low fat snack foods, and vast amounts of fruit and vegetables. If we were foolish enough to try, we would see our pets become fat, listless and unhappy. Eventually, they are likely to die. Yet, we seem to accept this as a healthy diet for human beings.
The old adage; ‘an apple a day keeps the doctor away’, never said anything about a bucket load of fruit a day.
Too many vested interests are in control of what we are told to eat. We need to take responsibility for our own food choices and not listen to those who preach what we know deep down is false.
We can no longer afford yet another guru diet, which has no base in genuine science, offers not a shred of genuine research, or statistics on human trials. Let’s make no mistake here; to these ‘experts’, we ARE the Research.
Sometimes we need to remind ourselves that we are mammals and although different mammals have different digestive systems, we cannot continue to challenge nature, we must acknowledge what we, as human beings, were designed to eat.
Good intentions, even when genuine, are not valid proof of anything other than good intentions. Nutritionists and Dieticians often proclaim their good intentions and they seem to believe they have made a valuable contribution to the health and welfare of the world. Since this is a big statement, based not on science, but on optimism, it is suggested you take a look around and get the measure of the average person you pass in the mall today. Then ask yourself; where is the evidence?
Today, about sixty percent of people are classified as overweight. Many of those are already obese most are headed in that direction. Of those who slide into obesity, there’s just a short step to what is called type 2 diabetes. This is yet another phenomenon no one had heard of forty years ago.
We need to discard the latest so called ‘complex carbohydrate diet’, the newest in a long tradition of expertly designed, failed diets. We need to get back to basics and to re-learn the right foods because we seem to have forgotten what they are.
This book answers three very important questions. Why it is so hard for people to lose weight? Why, when we repeatedly diet, does it become ever more difficult to lose the weight? And why, when we finally lose the weight, is it never a permanent weight loss?
The book, My Own Plan, not only proves the cause of obesity, it proves that no matter how bad your weight problem is, you now have the power to change it and if you follow My own Plan, you CAN stay slim permanently, without a diet, and without depriving yourself of food.
