A staggering 27% of average Australian total household weekly food expenditure is spent on eating out and take away food.

13% is spent on alcoholic beverages and 7% on non alcoholic beverages. Whatever happened to water?

9% goes on confectionery, food additives and prepared meals.

That adds up to 56% of average weekly food bills is going on food product! That’s the average.

I am often told that eating healthy is more expensive. I cannot believe that either in the short term and certainly not in the long term that is possible.

My thoughts on Low Carb Healthy Fat Living – LCHF

More and more people are reaping the benefits of eating real food. There are still a lot of knockers out there but those that ‘get it’ just ‘get it’.

So if you are not interested in helping yourself, then get out of our way.

Dr Troy Stapleton showed me this quote. I redid it and probably need to get it framed now

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.

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.
