Animal fats are not the issue

[Guest guest]

There can be no doubt that animal fat is not harmful to humans.

 

Saints and Sadhus take milk and ghee. Ghee is a foundation medicine

in Ayurveda. Ask any mother about the usefulness of ghee.

 

The issue that Todd is refering to is relevant but I think many of

the modern western researchers have not actually solved this problem

yet - although they may be coming closer to the truth of the issue.

 

Insulin resistance is at the core of many contempary health problems.

But the eating of meat is not the ultimate answer. The only real way

to break insulin resistance is to stop eating EXCESS of rapidly

digesting carbohydrates. What is ultimately needed is to reduce the

stress of too many unneeded carbs and to stabalize the symapthetic

nervous system. Meat is not necessary for this. We can stabalize

sugar, fat, and protein metabolism without further burdening the

system with even more undigested and undigestable food. This is a

disease of excess - and that excess has exceeded the ability of the

body to cope. No person eating a traditional diet - that contains

little or no sugar or white flour or white rice or over heated oils

has insulin resistance.

 

I always feel that when anyone is overfed - the best answer to this

is to eat less food at least less of the foods which are creating the

problem.

 

One simple approach to stabalising sugar metabolism is to not eat

rapidly digesting starches and sugars - and to eat several small

easily digested meals a day. Kitcheree with ghee is very stabalising -

especially if it is eaten warm with ghee at least 5 times a day.

Make sure that you digest your food - and if not eat less and more

frequently - this keeps blood sugar steady. Avoid fruit until you get

your sugar under control.

 

Dr. Angotston (sic?) of South Beach Diet fame has a protocal for

breaking insulin resistance in two weeks this is easy to do for

vegetarian's although the concept is developed for meateaters.
