The book, My Own Plan, has just been published and it reveals that carbohydrate addiction is the real cause of the obesity epidemic we see today. It will explain how to cure the condition, without dieting, or going hungry. If you follow this book, you’ll never have a weight problem again.
The book, My Own plan, explains why obesity has gone from a minor social problem to an epidemic. It’s fast becoming a medical problem, called type2 diabetes. You will learn why the problem is getting out of control.
Never before have little kids started school…Obese. Just recently, on our TV screens, we saw with horror, a baby born obese. If we don’t stop it, such news will not even get a headline. Sixty percent of the population is now overweight, and the problem grows daily. Some people say that’s inevitable.
Obesity is not a problem for the few, it’s a looming social and medical catastrophe for us all, that’s because it’s just one step away from type2 diabetes. The most frustrating fact is that it did not have to happen.
Like so many things, it began in the seventieth. New fads abounded and there were some, who practiced on the in the fringe of pseudo medicine, who carved themselves a niche in health and nutrition. They were not doctors or scientists but they set themselves up as guardians of health and nutritious.
They were excited about something new called cholesterol. This was a lucky break for them, because most people, at that time, would have shown a high cholesterol count, largely due to a diet which had basically changed very little for centuries.
So the ‘experts’ adopted cholesterol as their base of authority. They added together the two types of cholesterol, the good and the bad and that gave them a big score on everybody. They now had a platform, but they needed a product. They developed an ultra high carbohydrate diet which focused on cholesterol. The diet had no genuine scientific tests or human trials to support the many claims.
This highly publicized diet was launched with a poster of a pyramid depicting the various food groups. The base was 30% solid carbohydrates. Next was fruit and vegetables, also carbohydrates. People thought; finally some modern advice about food, instead of the boring menu our grandparents recommend.
The credibility of the pyramid, lasted for around twenty years, and at least two generations grew up on it. Parents trusted the experts. But sadly, this was a diet with very little protein, the essential building blocks for our children’s growth.
So millions of kids grew up on carbohydrates and, as should have been foreseen, they became addicted. Once parents themselves, they unknowingly passed the addiction on to their children. So today we see little kids start school already obese, and we open our morning newspaper to find an enormously fat baby on the front page.
This epidemic must be stopped and the book, My Own Plan, will show you how.
