Carbohydrate Addict’s – Where did they come from?
Author: admin , September 02nd, 2010

I have been posting a lot of videos about The Carbohydrate Addicts Diet and I suddenly realized that you don’t know much about me. I want to change that by telling you my story.

I’m a 69(going on 49 year old) retired grandmother. I was in business for many years and never had the opportunity to write seriously. Once I retired, around 6 years ago, that all changed. I’m now just as busy writing as I ever was in my business.

So how did I end up writing about carbohydrate addicts? Well, I became personally involved. When I was in my early 40’s I had some very minor surgery during which I suffered a cardiac arrest. Till then, I had never had a weight problem I couldn’t take care of in the gym.

However, it turned out that my heart issue had caused some damage. Within 3 months of the event, I realized I was gaining weight. I upped my visits to the gym but it was clear that although the weight was coming off, it was a lot harder to accomplish than I had experienced before.

I went to the doctor to find out why and I was diagnosed with a thyroid condition. The doctor said I would have a weight problem for life and that rather than depend on exercise I should visit a dietitian who would teach me a better, healthier way to eat.

I followed his advice and that’s about the time my real weight problems began. For years, despite regular exercise, and sticking to the recommended diet, I very slowly, very gradually gained weight.

When I retired, 6 years ago, I was around 80 kilos. I suffered early symptoms of type2 diabetes and I was on the verge of depression. Still, I finally had time to write and to think. The growing obesity that seemed to affect everybody around me didn’t make sense, particularly in light of events and facts I knew about, that went right back to my youth.

I decided to ignore all the diets, including the current ‘green’ diet philosophy and instead returned to the exact food that was natural to me more than twenty years earlier.

Today, I don’t have a weight problem. I haven’t had a weight problem for six years. I also no longer suffer the symptoms of type2 diabetes. I think that’s an amazing, unexpected result, important enough to earn me the right to tell people about it. So I have written a book called The Carbohydrate Addict’s Diet, which I hope to publish online very soon.

In the meantime I have created a little blog to tell people about my not so secret – secrets. I have also gone into video production, which I’m having a lot of fun with. My grandkids are impressed with my YouTube status and pretend interest in weight loss. Who would have thought! I’m fast becoming a hero with the 9 -15 age group.

While waiting for my book to be published, I’m posting videos and writing articles to tell people about some really important things nobody else seem prepared to talk about. There’s a very good chance it’s because nobody else is around who knows enough and can put the pieces together as I have done.

Not till you know and recognize the truth about a problem, can you be expected to successfully deal with it!

Obesity statistics – What’s the danger?
Author: admin , August 29th, 2010

We know from current obesity statistics that eighty percent of us will be fat by 2020.  We have just ten years to turn this around.

Is this another anti- human intervention – story?  Absolutely!

It is time to take a closer look at the diet industry.  What stops us from losing weight?  Most answers tend to bounce right back at us like: We failed the diet. We went back to normal food after the diet. We cheated on the diet and so on…Nobody ever blames the diet.

Instead we blame ourselves.  We feel bad we lose confidence, self esteem and trust in our own resolve to lose weight for good.  We end up in a pattern of deprivation, guilt, binging and hopelessness.

A book called The Carbohydrate Addict’s Manual will be published online within the next few weeks. It will turn the diet industry on its head.  In fact it will prove to us all why diets never work. They can’t, the human body is not designed for diets.

When we diet our brain signals Famine!  Our body slows down and prepares to store fat.  When the famine is over the body will restore all the lost weight as soon as we return to a normal lifestyle.

The more we diet the more weight we will gain. That is because each time we experience a famine, our body will store a little extra weight to protect us against the next famine.

The book explains how and when it all began.  Who sowed the seeds for our present obesity epidemic and what we can do to both reverse it, and prevent it – at least in our own family.

The obesity statistics have been caused by yet another human intervention to improve on nature. Not by science, not by medicine but by people who saw a new way to get a career, a business or an industry.

According to the soon to be published, Carbohydrate Addict’s Manual, it is time to make people accountable for their statements and actions.  This kind of misinformation is a luxury our state of health can no longer afford.

As with all things, not until we know why we have a problem can we settle on a solution and be sure it is the right one.

The carbohydrate addict’s Manual V Diabetes facts
Author: admin , August 23rd, 2010

I realize the things I talk about are confronting, but I speak from the heart through genuine concern about where we are all heading. I talk about how to avoid it, while knowing full well that the odds are, most of you will end up at that bad place no matter what I say.

That’s a tragedy because it doesn’t have to end there.

I’m sure you wonder; why isn’t all the really important people talking about this?

I think there are a few good reason.

We have to first consider the industries that have mushroomed and flourished on the back of a forty year deluge of misinformation. These are powerful people. Their advertising revenue helps support governments as well as science and medical careers.

Then we have the many smaller industries and niche markets where businesses and careers depend on this misinformation. They often practice their profession in complete ignorance of the facts. The trouble is, what they do it is equally damaging.

People build careers on a commitment to whatever truth they have been taught. Even if it is completely false!

The hardest thing of all to change is a lifestyle. We ended up on this dangerous track because we completely changed our lifestyle. We were tricked into believing we had to do so to avoid an apparent, but false, epidemic of high cholesterol.

So we come to the audience, the people who truly need this information. People like yourself who recognize the logic of what I say but cannot bring yourself to act. It’s too hard! It’s hopeless! It’s whatever! Know that this is your addiction talking – not you.

Sure! It is not easy to deal with addiction but it’s not nearly as hard as you think and it is far more rewarding than you can possibly imagine right now.

I hope you take heed of the seriousness of what I write. It won’t cost you a cent to follow the articles and videos I post on my blogs and hopefully it will bring you to the realization that you need to take action and you need to read my book; The carbohydrate Addict’s Manual when it is published in a few weeks.

Update about The CarboHydrate Addicts Diet!
Author: admin , August 09th, 2010

Why is it taking so long to publish the book? Frankly it’s my fault. I’m a technical idiot and therefore have to rely on others for that side of things. So I realize I owe you some more information about me and about the book. You see it it written to expose today’s massive, ever increasing obesity statistics and to reveal
the reason why everybody is getting fat.

If you believe in statistics, then you should know that by 2020, 80% of the population will be fat. Are you going to be one of them? In a nutshell, my book is about what you can do to NOT become one of the 80%, even if you’re already obese, and how you can guarantee that your children won’t be either. The book will teach you how you can eliminate obesity for good – at least in your own family.

So who am I and what gives me the right to say the things I do?

I have lived for almost seventy years. During that time I’ve had more experience and gained more knowledge than most other people. That’s because I have traveled the world, I’m an avid reader, I have many interests and I keep myself informed.

I also happen to have a very good memory. I remember when those people, I talk about in my writings, were publicity hungry, busy bees, trying to create a quasi medical niche market. I also have a very clear recollection about the “cholesterol stuff up”, that became one of the results of their efforts. More than half the population is still paying for that mistake today.

I like to investigate when I see things that don’t make sense and diets definitely don’t make sense. Not once you realize that when I was young, people didn’t diet at all. Not unless they had an illness like diabetes or an under active thyroid problem.

People in those days were well fed, but we ate a very different diet to the one we call ‘normal’ today. This was a time when the vast majority of people, including myself, did not have a weight problem.

So what made me an expert on the subjects of obesity statistics, obesity causes, obesity facts, bad diets, and unsafe, homemade solutions.

Probably the fact that I was directly involved. You see, I was one of the thousands of victims who were told by the doctor; “better be safe than sorry, go get a cholesterol test.” Next thing I knew I was on a weekly schedule with a dietitian who was primed to cure my high cholestrol with a brand new diet.

I soon acquired my first weight problem. The ensuing twenty years of my life became like a giant jigsaw puzzle. I knew all the pieces, I just couldn’t work out how they fitted together.

I couldn’t let myself believe that so many genuinely qualified, professional people could shut their eyes to what would have been obvious to a 10 year old child: That understanding the effect of what we put into our digestive system is as important to our health as knowing the symptoms we might expect from any drug we are prescribed.

Foods should be viewed with the same degree of caution and professional scrutiny as anything else we put into our body. It should not have been possible for unqualified people to completely reverse a traditional diet that had been a standard for generations. It is frightening to realize that today, anyone’s vague concept of what looks good, smells good and is therefore good to eat will receive a zeal of approval as long as it is called a diet.

In fact, an approval is not even required. That means there has never been a safety check for any diet no matter how ridicules, dangerous or extreme it might be. No medical doctor or scientist could prescribe drugs on that basis. And aren’t we lucky they can’t?

So I’m very comfortable about sticking my neck out and telling you things that granted, someone more qualified should have told you more than 30 – 40 years ago. I won’t be filling my website with the usual list of suspect testimonials, I don’t need to. I trust your common sense and your instinct to recognize when you hear the truth.

You may not like the truth but I hope you agree with me that the truth is long overdue and that it’s time to act. Success is always the best revenge.

In the meantime, while I wait for a website to be finished, I have created a blog specifically for the new book. It has some content, including a video, which I know will interest you, so please check it out and register for the RSS feed. That way I can easily keep you updated.

Advance Notice About My New Book!
Author: admin , March 07th, 2010

Botched cholesterol readings and the myth about the balanced diet!

Very soon,  I will be launching a new book which will  expose what is probably the greatest threat to your health today.

The book is particularly important to people who are part of the sixty percent or more, that are either overweight, or obese.  Even people, who are not overweight, soon will be.  There are many vested interests who work very hard at drawing everybody into this new addiction.  An obesity cure is not on their radar.

The book will tell you about the great fraud that used to be called: ‘The cure for high cholesterol’, It is the single most significant reason for the weight gain and the obesity epidemic we see all around us today.  It will also expose another myth people like to call: The balanced diet. As long as this kind of diet prevails, people will continue to get fat.  More people will become obese and many if not all, will simply slide into type2 diabetes.

You will discover everything about this new danger.  How people first became addicted, why it happened and why more and more people will become addicted in the future. As many as 80% of the population within the next 10 years.  By current statistics, that may even reach 90%.  The good news is that once people are cured,  they will no longer suffer food cravings, or binges and they will never have a weight problem again.

Our body was never designed to get fat, just as our metabolism was never designed for diets or detox or whatever we choose to call it when we crash diet, or, just plain reduce our calories.

There is one thing we can count on.  When we cut down on calories… we will end up with  more body fat, on our hips and thighs and stomach, around our vital organs and inside our arteries.

Anyone who has dieted several times but always puts the weight back on again, will more than likely be addicted. That makes this book of enormous value to a great many people. Not just individuals, but their entire family.

Why include the family? Because if a person is addicted, chances are their family is too. If someone’s parents became addicted in the past, there is a very good chance they passed it on.  Children share their parent’s lifestyle.

It is inevitable the addiction will get passed on. It is not unusual these days to see little kids on their first day at school – obese. It is tragic to know that it never had to happen. That’s why it is so important to fix it why we still can.

The book will confirm if you are addicted.  You can then either cure yourself or prevent it from happening. The by-product of the cure will be a big weight loss which will never have to come back.

If you are someone who almost always feels hungry, who get cravings, who have binges and who ultimately ends up with more weight no matter what you do, this will be the book you MUST read.

You will be able to determine if you are among the many people who are already addicted and you will learn how to cure it.  If you follow the book, you will suddenly discover one day, that you have lost all your excess weight and you will realize that you finally know how to keep it off permanently.

People who read this book will come to realize that nobody was ever destined to get fat.   The fact is, human beings were never meant to diet.  We used to have a metabolism that took care of it.  We have been seduced by feel good and sounds good messages.  They come from the people who are responsible.  They profit from your weight problems and that has to stop.

These days we follow a diet to make sure we eat the right food.  In the past not that long ago, we would only diet if we DID NOT eat the right food. It will be very useful for people to know what has caused this radical change in just three decades.

Diets and dieting have a lot to answer for, no less so, the people who create and promote them.  We used to have a metabolism to keep our weight nicely balanced. It no longer works. Would you like to know what ruined it and why it can no longer do the job?  Of course you would.

It’s time to expose the people who fool us even today. Curing ourselves of this addiction will not require us to diet.  Unlike tobacco and alcohol addiction you will not have to give up the substance, in fact, you can eat as much as you like. Today your Cholesterol readings may be correct but it’s a little late to close the gate after the horse has bolted.

It will be a few more weeks before the book is published. To get on the advance notice list, just send an email to the address below, with your name and email address.  As soon as the book is ready, you will then be sent an email with a link to take you to the website… So hey!  Be sure to get yourself on the list!

Why diets can’t offer a diet free weight loss!
Author: admin , February 13th, 2010

Almost six years ago I resolved to never again pay attention to a diet ‘expert’.  Instead I started to do my own study to reveal a method to lose weight that could genuinely be called permanent.  I simply refused to ever embark on a diet again.

I have always felt that unless a weight loss is to be ever lasting, what is the point of tolerating  the hunger, the cravings and the utter agony of being deprived of calories when you know that all too soon all the weight will be back, usually with a bonus of even more weight?

On reflection you might think: that -’Yes, this is true but – it was my own fault.  Because of my failure to stick to the diet the weight came back.  In other words; you began to eat normal meals again’.  We are becoming trained to believe that putting weight on will always be our own fault.  That is entirely false.  To eat ‘norma’l is what we ought to do all of the time.  It is what we always did in the past without worrying about a weight gain. it is also what nature designed us to do.

I remember a time not THAT long ago, when weight gains only occurred when you ate food that was NOT normal.  This maybe ironic, but it is a reality that should force us to ask ourselves: What changed,  in the last couple of decades to cause just about everyone get so fat?  The quick answer is Dieting.  It is never a normal thing to diet.  Our body was not ever intended to diet.

Before we take action we must  understand the cause of the weight problems and obesity we see today:  We have turned our everyday diet, on its head.  The plethora of press, magazines, advertising and diet ‘experts’ have meant that we now take dietary advice from people who do not have the qualifications to give it.  These are people who have no right to offer expert advice.  It pays to remember that the diet business as a whole, have a strong self interest in growing a fat society for the future.

The trouble is, we have been led into  a bog of quicksand called food addiction and we cannot get out out.  Well, at the very least we do not wish to pull ourselves out.  Our addiction causes us to believe that a life of fat is better than having to sacrifice the foods we think we cannot do without.

The people who keep us addicted are everywhere and they are very resourceful. Quite recently we saw a rare revalation of just how powerful the tobacco business can be. People  with a vested interest in what we eat will stop at nothing to keep us addicted.   Billions are spent in advertising to that end.  The diet industry can be expected to  reject that food addiction exists.  Sounds very familiar don’t you think?

If you imagine your body as a kind of engine, which is pretty much what it is, you can imagine that  the food you eat is the fuel that propels it to  go.  Your body was created many eons ago to operate on a specific mix of fuel.  Over thousands of years, it has grown used to numerous very slow  insignificant changes.  Because the changes were small the body had centuries to adapt.

We have learned that large scale human intervention to nature’s laws can prove very risky, if not outright dangerous.  We are an element of nature and we have permitted intervention to the natural function of our body.  The obesity epidemic is a sign of what we can expect as punishment.  In the past few decades we have stood by and watched our diet get flipped upside down without a murmur of protest from either the scientific or medical professions.  Nobody has raised even a hint of concern. This is despite the growing number of people with weight problems, not to mention; a raging obesity epidemic in both adults and children.

Barely noticeable signs of this trend began to loom in the sixties. That is when colorful packaged foods began to make an appearance on  the shelves in grocery shops.  The trend was driven harder in the seventies when international foods came into vogue.  By the eighties There was no doubt that more people were overweight but not ever on the level we see today. Folks could still delude themselves that weight problems most commonly happeden to people who suffered with diabetes or a thyroid condition.

As ever more people became exited about every new fashionable diet which appeared, it would seem nobody notice that our body, the ‘engine’, was just not working as efficiently as we once took for granted.  More and more of us seemed to suffer digestive and intestinal problems.  The pharmacy shelves told the story. It was to be expected that one day there would be a price to pay.

The thing that sealed our fate was cholesterol.  Sadly, ‘experts’ discovered the word ‘cholesterol’ long before they had any understanding of what it meant.  naturally that was not going to stop them. Only the medical profession would have had a chance to step in but even they got caught up in  the inundation of people who wanted a cholesterol test. People in their legions were driven mostly by the press and untrained amateurs, to have a botched cholesterol test.

Why botched?  Well, it may astonish you to hear that till quite recently, every single test was done completely wrong.  To put it simply, there are two types of cholesterol measures one for good cholesterol and one for bad.  When a test is done correctly, the good cholesterol cancels out the bad.  For close to three decades laboratories across the world just added the numbers together. This meant that just about everyone who had a pulse also had a high cholesterol reading.  Cholesterol had made a grande entrance and a lot of people got scared into starting a diet that nobody should ever have ever been persuaded to take on.  By doing it and sticking with it, they became saddled with a permanent weight problem which went on to affect their children and grandchildren.  It has also made a lot of professionals and amateurs a lot wealthier.

Even today,You will still find the odd laboratory who will cling to the old test.  I am sure even a medical practioner can be found who will have missed an update or will prefer to cling to the past.  A year ago, an Australian government promoted a no cost cholesterol tests for every adult.  Every test was done using the old incorrect method. No one wants to see a light focused on their past mistakes, not least a government.  Still shouldn’t they be first in line to know better.

This incredible mistake has meant that for around thirty years, the millions of people who were scared into a cholesterol test, would have shown a dangerously high reading.  They were told to change their diet immediately.  The diet which was recommended by every professional and non-professional alike,  emphasised carbohydrate and minimized the need for protein.  it ignored the fact that for centuries, protein had represented the greatest share of our daily diet.

This travesty was aggravated by the arrival of an innovative occupation named Nutrition.  Although they were unqualified, these people had created a very high carbohydrate diet which was promoted to be  the very last word on the meaning of a healthy diet.  Since then, nutritionists have seen their diets discredited time and again, yet they continue to cling to the notion that ‘complexed carbohydrates’ and cereals are a necessary element in a healthy diet.

The discovery of cholesterol was heavily covered by the media.  It was a scoop meant to greatly alarm most people and it succeeded.  The ‘discovery’ was accompanied by the diet invented by the newly formed nutritionists, which promised to cure it.  The media was delerious and nutritionists, who do not require any science or medical qualifications, were suddenly entertained as celebrities.  Most folks who went on that diet just wanted to cure their cholesterol. Most did not even have a weight problem.

We tend to imagine that big mishaps connected to our health, like incorrect and hazardous diets simply cannot happen today.  It only goes to prove that it is not that difficult to get it wrong.  Shock is not enough. We have been taken aback by the raging obesity epidemic  It starts with each one of us. We must cease dieting. Just stop it and let’s get our family to do the same.  There truly is a simple way to do that and to attain a diet free weight loss.  Once you do you will never have to add up your calories again.

Rx Help Gives Aid to New Jersey Workers Impacted by Recession
Author: admin , February 13th, 2010

In order to assist citizens that are without medical insurance and financially-stressed residents get the prescription drugs that they desperately need, there is an growing civic understanding that there are programs that provide prescription medicine help for free or nearly free. With the state’s joblessness rate now at a record high, the meaning of these plans is magnified. There are organizations that give a one stop resolution to more than 500  patient assistance programs that support residents who are are lacking personal medical insurance or under pressure financially.

So far, those programs have assisted millions of citizens find out if they may qualify for prescription assistance programs free or discounted prescription drugs. This is on the whole excellent news, for at this point in time there are more patients out of work than ever before over the previous 28  years. Citizens who meet the criteria for help from the participating patient assistance programs get access to more than 2,700  brand-name and generic medication. People in search of aid from one of those organizations should phone a toll-free number to speak to a qualified advocate or access the company’s web site. It just takes about 15  to 3  minutes to find out if you or somebody you might know may well meet the requirements for free or discounted prescription medication.

At a point in time when nationwide joblessness is the highest in just about three  decades, these aid plans has turn out to be an essential salvation for a growing quantity of patients. Thousands of Americans have been added to the jobless rolls over the preceding several months and there might be a sharp increase in the number of our citizens losing health insurance benefits. Thousands of individuals are in need of prescription medication assistance including people who must have prescription medication to battle such devastating chronic diseases as cancer, heart disease, depression and lupus. Most residents who need aid need it for more than one prescription medicine. This may give rise to quite a confusing procedure for the reason that of all of the red tape that should be completed, physician’s approval obtained and proof of pay submitted.

Prescription assistance companies ease the individual of all of that aggravation by acting as the patients counselor and performing all of the tasks. These companies charge a small fee for their service but it is well worth it. Ordinarily these companies will bring together everything between you, your physician and the prescription drug companies. It may take anywhere from 3-9 weeks for the individual to get your medication so you have to apply early.

A Look at Weight Loss Infomercials
Author: admin , February 12th, 2010

Only in America can millions of dollars be made selling weight loss products which will ultimately cause people to gain more weight than they ever had before.  In a world full of starving people, Americans have become a nation of overfed, under exercised fatties who are addicted to a lifestyle that no human being can sustain without eventually sliding into obesity.  America’s addiction to food has created several industries that depend on people getting fat and staying that way.  Celebrities, nutritionists, doctors, herbologists, hucksters and former fatties have come up with thousands of products promising to soften fat, reduce cravings, block carbs, replace sugar or fat.  If you take a good look around you will see where all these remedies have led us.  To more people getting fat, fat people becoming obese and obese people lapsing into type2 diabetes.  Dieting is a one way street and it leads only to grief.

It is frightening to realise that diet pills, diet plans, calorie counters, diet food cooked and delivered to your doorstep daily, dance and walk your way to weight loss, the hula weight loss program, the Brazilian weight loss program, the fat burning, belly reducing, balanced girl, unbalanced woman,in fact all weight loss programs, account for fifty% of all revenue generated in today’s infomercials.  This is big business and they do not want you to lose weight unless they can be sure you will quickly put it all back on again.

One example of an extraordinarily successful diet is the Fen-Phen diet.  It was a mix of two herbs known to doctors and other professionals in the trade as herbal speed. Whereas still legal at the time, the pills killed the appetite completely, created a euphoric state within the user and led to many problems including known heart attacks.  This led the FDA to ban the main substances from use within the USA.

Weight loss infomercials are so powerful and thus successful that it is easy to become seduced by their message.  Always keep in mind that if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. There really is no magic pill or substance that’s going to let you sit on the couch and eat big quantities of dangerous foods and still lose weight.  There is always a price to pay in both health and body weight.

Another well known ploy for weight loss infomercials are the add-ons.  For example, a popular diet like the Atkins diet.  It was not sold on infomercials, but through book sales, interviews and word of mouth.  This generated a host of merchandise designed to assist you to stay on the Atkins diet.   They included low carb foods and low/no carb candy imitations and many others.  People paid a high price both for the dubious product and your long term health.  Pills designed to cut back the difficulties related to the Atkins diet also surfaced in infomercials.  None of these products will do anything except prolong and increase your weight problems and probably cause long term damage to your metabolism.
