The Good, The Bad

&

The Chubby

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Welllllll, this third part of the Lifetime Health Diet

is where we get to look at other diets and at their strong points (true data)

and their weaknesses (half truths and / or false data). The purpose of doing this is not so

much to show where they went off the rails or “how bad they all are”, but to

see if we can learn

something from them and thus bring about a new set of conclusions to operate

from.

 

The Atkins Diet (released

in 2 books, with the 2nd being “NEW” and a re-write of the first) = Heavy Animal Protein and Animal Fat Intake

regardless of quantity or quality: The main

theories behind the workability of the diet are the following:

1. A heavy animal protein and animal fat

intake will bring about a condition known as Ketosis = the rapid burning up of

body fat. This is true and it does

work.

2. You don’t have to worry about how much

you eat since heavy animal proteins fill you quickly and sends the “Tank Full”

signal to the brain promptly. Also

true data.

3. Proteins are necessary for the creation

of Hormones which stimulate the body’s functions and operation. True again.

 

The biggest outpoints and the most seriously omitted

facts from the two Atkins books are:

1. Rapid burning up of accumulated fat, will

release stored up toxins that can make a person seriously ill. This is potentially dangerous to the

point that it may even result in death under certain circumstances.

2. (And

the most critical point) With the exception of Goat’s Milk, Sheep’s Milk, and

Human Mother’s Milk, ALL MEAT PRODUCTS AND

THEIR MEAT BYPRODUCTS ARE ACID ASH, AND

WHEN TAKEN TO EXCESS WILL BRING ABOUT A CONDITION KNOWN AS ACIDOSIS ! ! !

This is so fundamental it

begs further explanation and clarification. All foods are either Acid Ash, Alkaline Ash or Neutral Ash. When we talk about “ASH” we’re discussing

what is left over after a food has metabolized = burned up or broken down to be

used by the body. If you were to

take a blow torch to a piece of steak for instance, burn it to a crisp and then

take a little of this “Ash” and add some

completely neutral, technical grade distilled water, litmus paper would show

this pH test coming back as “Acid”.

If the same test was done using a carrot, the test would come back

“Alkaline”. Olive Oil would come back

“Neutral” and so on. The pH Scale

goes from 1 to 14 with 7 being completely Neutral. Above 7 is Alkaline while below 7 is Acid.

 

The human body was

designed to operate optimally from 6.5 to 7.5 on the pH scale but can go wildly

out of this range. However, and this is absolutely

vital, Human Blood MUST be 7.3 to 7.5 on the Alkaline side of this scale, and

this fact alone is so crucial that your body will do anything and everything

necessary to keep it so.

Your body will even rob your organs, glands, tissues, teeth and bones of

much needed minerals such as Calcium and Magnesium just for the purpose of

keeping your blood in this very narrow band.

 

Too many Acid Ash foods

from a heavy meat, high protein only diet that is not balanced with Alkaline Ash

foods (almost all Fruit and Vegetables are Alkaline) creates this condition

known as Acidosis. And Acidosis is the root cause of

Arthritis, Osteoporosis, Hair Loss, Tooth Decay, debilitated organs and glands

resulting in a Lack of Energy and Sex Drive, and the creation of the phony

diseases of ADD, ADHD and Fibromyalgia to name only a few. Cancer thrives in an acid environment

while it actually retards in an alkaline one. There are so many problems created by Acidosis, that it

would take a book the size of a large dictionary to list all of the negative

physical conditions created by this dreadful condition.

The Zone Diet = Promotes the use of exact QUANTITIES of animal

source proteins to balance any other foods

you wish to eat: The

main workable theories behind the diet are:

1.

Quantity of meat

protein is important and needs to be balanced with whatever and everything else

eaten. This is very True.

2.

Hormones including Insulin and HGH =

Human Growth Hormone are necessary for body functions and health. These hormones are produced from

proteins. Very true.

 

Regardless of the fact

that Dr. Sears, the author, was on the right track with a few things here,

there are so many confusions, contradictions, and outright false conclusions in

this book, that I honestly had a great deal of difficulty trying to push my way

through to the end of it.

1.

from the beginning of the book on page 3 – “This technique involves using the most powerful

and ubiquitous (found everywhere) drug we have: = food !!! Holy cow dung Batman, but this author

has absolutely no idea what a DRUG is.

2.

After rolling the eyes into the back of

my head on that one, I turned to the end of the book to discover that Dr. Sears

says it’s OK to eat a Snickers Bar or Hagen Daz Ice Cream as long as you eat it

along with a protein such as Cottage Cheese.

3.

Last but not least was his favorable

promotion of “Fast Food” establishments like McDonalds, Burger King, and

Wendys, etc. etc. That did it for

me, and the rest of his book was pure torture for me to read.

 

Dr. Sears talked a great

deal about Hormones and even discussed the subject of Enzymes a little bit, but

apparently had no clue that these Fast Food Franken Stores serve food that

contain meats loaded full of destructive hormones, steroids, and antibiotics. In the same breath, he also recommends

“Organic Food”??? How can he do

this in all good conscience??? I

can only conclude that this man jumped on the Atkins Band Wagon but then

decided to be different by bringing “Quantity” and “Veggies” into the equation

which are the actual sane points of his diet.

 

The “Fit for Life” Diet = Get

off of all meats, and use Fruit for cleansing and Vegetables for

rebuilding. The big truths

are:

 

1.

You can cleanse your body of toxins using

Food. This is so true that an

entire generation of Vegetarians have sprung up from this diet. Many people have achieved a fine state

of health using it, BUT it

didn’t last ! ! ! The

same could be said of The

Beverly Hills Diet and the exclusive use of Fruit at the

beginning of it.

2.

Enzymes are extremely important when it

comes to food and nutrient absorption, and raw, live foods are the best way to

get Enzymes. This is a tough one

to argue with as long as the “Live” foods we’re dealing with are of the highest

QUALITY and from 100% ORGANIC

sources.

3.

Eating different Foods at the right time

of day, and in the right combinations can bring about health. Oh so true, and this one factor alone

led to the entrenchment of vegetarianism in a large population of today’s

natural, health food movement.

 

This very popular diet is

actually an update and modernization of

the work of Herbert Shelton from the 1940’s. The only thing it never seemed to resolve was the lack of

protein as supplied by animal sources.

People who stick to this diet religiously, after a while, seem to get

old before their time. The

cleansing helps and they stay skinny, but many of these people just never get

enough protein and they never seem to reach a full state of health.

 

Next week, section two of

the 3rd part of the program will be concluded with a critique of The Cohen, Soda Cracker Diet.
