How much do you spend on take away and processed food?

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.

Get out of my way.

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.

Low Carbohydrate Healthy Fat Living – a Call to Arms

Photo: Low Carbohydrate Healthy Fat Living - a Call to ArmsThe 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.Join me on Instagram for more quote pictures @thegaryscience#nutritionforlife #lchf #lchfoz #nofructose

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.

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

LCHF rebranded to Lower Carb Healthy Fat

Gary Fettke No Fructose's photo.

So many people get their backs up when they hear ‘High’ fat about LCHF.

None of us are promoting enormous amounts of vegetable oils and deep fried product. It is about eating those natural healthy fats that are available in nature and not out of an industrial plant.

‘Healthy Fat’ is more marketable – no question.

Jimmy Moore’s Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb, Dr Troy Stapleton and I were discussing this very topic only 2 days ago. Lucy Millwood from the Diabetes & Health Research Centre brought it up last week and Caryn Zinn from Auckland just put this picture up.
