The article states what is clear to us Americans every day. We are fatter than ever and the trend is getting worse. Mexico is #2 for fatness, not becuase they don’t have tons of great foods to enjoy — but they are the #1 cola consumer which is a problem.
Are wonderful doctors don’t make money from recommending spinach and avoiding sugars. They are succumbed to the pharma industry which would rather have you on a cocktail of pills.
Children and your adults born after 1990 might think this is “normal” — that adults are fat — children are fat and we should allow Doctors to feed us as many pills as they wish.
Look at some old movies or look at the crowd of an old ball game.... are the people “fat”?
What happened and why don’t doctors or media educate people as to the “why”.....??? Isn’t anybody interested?
Obviously, what has changes is “what we are eating”...”and those cows that we eat are also eating differently” !
Simple observations:
the breads in the US are not like the breads in Europe
the GMO laced foods are not allowed in Europe — it’s perfectly fine to poison people in the US
Cola’s and diet drinks are now served in “tubs” compared to small servings years ago — you can say that for many foods.
But the main difference is the bread, sugar and carbs we eat on a daily basis.
I have to plug a terrific book and You Tube channel for Dr. Gundry. He was a heart surgeon for many years. He did over 10,000 heart operations and has studied this issue for half of his life. He has startling conclusions and 1000’s of patient success —- where doctors have totally failed in simple weight loss, auto immune disease and much more.
In his book “The Plant Paradox” he goes in detail about “lectins” in many of the foods we eat today and the damage it causes to our guts and in turn creates a system of unable to fend off the related weight gains and diseases we see as we age.
Simple things we should NOT eat may be just as powerful as what “to eat” —- his number one rule:
Check out his your tube channel — hear about his cures and maybe we can learn how to eat to improve our health.
Thank you
The soft drinks are too sugary, and big size bottle often cost similar or less than the small can ones. I think in many Asian countries being fat isn't very acceptable or tolerated like in the western countries, that actually helps people to lose weight by feeling embarrassed
That is interesting and I believe that. However, as more and more Western food practices are exported to the east, everyone may need to be more diligent so they do not fall into a trap they cannot control. If you asked people in the US if they planned on being fat or enjoy it....they would say “of course not”.
STAY FIT PEOPLE!
Thank you. Dr. Gundry’s input and why we should avoid tomatoes (seeds) was a shock to me. Thank God for Avacados :-)
Very good post on our diets and weight gain. Where did you get the no list? I don't agree with everything on it. Eating carbs. like potatoes / rice/ pasta is fine in moderation or when you have an active lifestyle. There are a lot of foods on the no list that are good for you. Moderation is key.
The “no list” is from Dr. Gundry and his book. Look up his channel or video’s. Maybe the most insightful healthy approach to eating I have read/viewed.
Thanks I will @ floridanow :-)
It’s all about the “lectins”....for example : sweet potatoes not white potatoes. No beans, but listen as to why. I didn’t make the connection, beans are also very big in Mexico and they are #2.
Eye opening article. Another reason why people are fat is due to the fluoridation of our water supply. Fluoride suppresses the thyroid which is necessary for energy and synthesizing proteins. Fluoride is a poison and its in our toothpaste too. I use fluoride free toothpaste and distilled water. Lost a whole lot of weight since and feel better mentally as fluoride damages our pineal gland. Thank you.
Thank you and interesting....I have done the same as well recently.
