THE SKINNY ON FAT
This blog is dedicated to bringing you the latest nutritional news, research and information about the benefits of a low carb lifestyle.
The importance of proper nutrition during pregnancy and the early years
I think my wife should be my new full-time co-host... whaddaya think?
Anyway, here are the links to the books mentioned in this episode:
And I forgot to mention this one on the broadcast, but it's also an excellent book to teach kids (and their parents) about diet and nutrition:
Majesta's Story
Majesta signed up for the Lose 50 by Christmas challenge back in July and ended up hitting her goal a few days before Christmas! She has also enrolled in the Lazy Man's Challenge to keep her progress going into the new year.
Be sure to watch her video and listen to her story. Like me, she tried all kinds of different diets and programs in an effort to lose weight. Nothing ever worked for her.
Then she tried keto and everything changed. She has completely new eating habits and a new mindset around food. It has totally changed her life!
Many of her friends we so impressed by her progress and her commitment, they joined her in the current Lazy Man's Challenge. Making significant lifestyle changes sure is easier when you are connected to a group of people who are interested in helping you succeed!
Why I don't trust the USDA
If you're wondering why I don't trust the USDA, The American Heart Association, and The American Diabetes Association (and why you shouldn't either)... this 43-minute video sums it up perfectly:
If you don't have 43 minutes to spare, here's my take on it:
It comes down to deciding who you should trust... "the wisdom of the crowds", or "the vision of the anointed".
A few prominent doctors, scientist, and researchers came up with a theory in the 1950s that saturated fat lead to high cholesterol which led to heart disease based on some very flawed science.
Turns out... it's completely false.
But, because they were the "smart ones" it just became common knowledge and no one questioned them.
Those that dared question their findings were often ridiculed and their funding was cut off.
Back in those days... the information came from the elites and was adopted by the government to make up the official dietary guidelines.
To this day, this is still the advice given...
My Interview with the maker of the Food Lies documentary
I am so excited to share this pre-recorded episode of The Keto Show with you!
I was able to interview Brian Sanders, the documentary filmmaker behind "Food Lies" and host of the Peak Human Podcast.
Over the past couple of years, Brian has interviewed all kinds of health experts, doctors, scientists, journalists, and other professionals about optimal human nutrition.
He shares many of the interviews on his podcast and he's putting together a documentary that hopes to set the record straight on what constitutes a healthy diet.
His film will expose the lies that we've been told for years...
- Saturated fat leads to high cholesterol which leads to heart disease. FALSE!!!
- Heart-healthy whole grains (HINT: THERE IS NO SUCH THING!)
- Vegetable oils are healthier than natural fats like coconut oil, olive oil, and butter --WRONG AGAIN!
I believe this documentary will be a huge wake-up call to the 2 out of 3 of American's who are overweight and if you're like me... you're going...
