Cut the sugar and carbohydrates for your health – for everyone

About a third of the population are Diabetic or pre Diabetic!

This is a definitive paper just released.

Avoid and treat Type 2 Diabetes and control Type 1 Diabetes. Same goes with your health.

EVERY diabetic patient I know that reduces their carbohydrate content in a controlled manner has an improvement.

Diabetes should be called Carbohydrate Diabetes and not Sugar Diabetes. It is a problem of handling glucose load and that is all carbohydrate is. In fact sugar or sucrose is just a form of carbohydrate. Continue reading →

‘New’ Milk Fuel – ‘Super Full’ Cream Milk

shutterstock_98769347

Trying to fill up the kids in the morning before school or looking for a super snack.

Make up a batch of ‘Super Full’ Cream Milk – a mix of one third ‘full cream’ in with two thirds of standard milk. Wow. Creamy, filling and takes away that appetite.

Normal full cream milk is about 3.5 – 4% fat. Mix in the straight cream at about 35% fat and this becomes a super fuel.

The galactose gets converted to glucose to break the hunger pang quickly and the fat gives a slow release fuel for hours.

This will make you feel so much better about Canola oil – NOT!

Have you thought about how unnatural the process of seed oil production is? The first part extols the virtues of an oil being low in saturated fat but get through that nonsense and see the production process.

There is nothing ‘natural’ about treating the rapeseed oil product for 70 minutes in a solvent!

Give me butter any day. I know how that is made.

Watch How This Supermarket Got People To Buy Their Rubbish…

Why do the supermarkets have all their produce looking ‘perfect’?

I know that corn is discarded if all the rows don’t line up, apples and stone fruit needs to be blemish free.

This is achieved in 2 common ways.

A lot of fruit has now been selectively bred (dare I say ‘genetically modified’) for appearance and with a higher sugar and lower fibre content. Both improve shelf life and transportability. Continue reading →

How do you Decode a Food Label?

Food producers will do what they can to deceive you. The colour of packaging, the ‘natural’ or ‘organic’ words seem to launch themselves at us all the time.

The food label has to give you the nutrient information but it needs some work to drag the information off it.

I always look at the sugar and carbohydrate content and then look at the polyunsaturate fat component.

If they are all in my parameters of okay, then I check the ingredients and look for the alternate names of sugars and to see what oil has been used in the production. Most times if it is in a packet and with a barcode, the oil will be high in a polyunsaturated oil like vegetable or sunflower oil.

Guess what? It then stays on the shelf and does not make its way into the basket.
