Low Carbohydrate Healthy Fat Living – a Call to Arms
Low Carbohydrate Healthy Fat Living – a Call to Arms
The medical profession is conservative.
The medical profession is slow to take up change…
Particularly if it challenges the way it has been taught and practiced for a ‘lifetime’.
Normally doctors wait for guidelines to change and that takes years. Medicine is like that.
Law is not. When judgements are made in law they are then in effect, they can be challenged but precedent has been set. That’s one of the few things I like about the legal profession.
The precedent has been set for LCHF for 2.5 million years but my medical colleagues seem to have forgotten that precedence.
I think we have been on a fad diet for 30+ years and affected by vested interests of the food and pharmaceutical industry – they have manipulated education of the people and the medical community.
Here is the new paradigm. The people are wakening to LCHF. The people are questioning the doctors. It is up to the doctors to start questioning themselves.
Here is your part to play.
Question your doctor, your nurse, your diabetes educator, your pharmacist, your family and friends.
Create doubt that what your doctor has been recommending might just be wrong. It will make them uncomfortable but that what’s required in change.

Don’t blame the butter for what the bread did
Don’t blame the butter.
Butter is back in its rightful place. Natural full healthy fat.
Refined carbohydrates in the amount and frequency we ingest as a society are the foods that are largely responsible for fat production.
LCHF is the norm in Sweden.
Come on Australia.
“The skepticism towards low-carb diets among my colleagues has disappeared during the course of the work. When all recent scientific studies are lined up the result is indisputable: our deep-seated fear of fat is completely unfounded. You don’t get fat from fatty foods, just as you don’t get atherosclerosis from calcium or turn green from green vegetables”
I am definitely looking forward to catching up with Dr Andreas Eenfeldt in February. We are both guest speakers at the World Summit on LCHF in Cape Town, only 12 from around the world. It should be a great meeting and I will be asking him about pushing LCHF at a government level.
What the world eats and how it has changed in the last 50 years
.
This is BRILLIANT from National Geographic. Click on each segment to get the breakdown of food groups
Our calorie consumption has gone up and up.
Sugar and vegetable oils account for 30% of our calorie intake (on average) every day in 2011!
50 years ago it was 22% but most importantly has been the rise in vegetable oil consumption from 3% to 17%.
The balance of composition of the food we eat has changed and varies from country to country.
The work to put this together will have been enormous. Spend some time and play with the numbers.

Secret Society Funding the Low Carb Down Under Group – Not a Chance
Am I part of a secret funded society? Pathetic effort from the food industry.
This is a new low point slur accusation. In an online blog this week the Low Carb Down Under group are ‘accused’ of being sponsored by some undeclared secret benefactor with an agenda.
It must come as a rude shock to the vocal nutritionist Bill Shrapnel that a group of like minded individuals have an altruistic bent and might do something for the benefit of society. Continue reading
