Ten Unconventional Suggestions to Lose Weight Without Destroying Health

Have you ever tried to lose weight by following conventional recommendations to eat in accordance with the Food Guide Pyramid, to eliminate animal fats from your menu, and to cut down on red meats and calories? If yes, then you, probably, know that the “politically correct” nutritional advise simply does not work. Moreover, diets that lack nourishing animal fats but instead are loaded with carbohydrates of all forms, processed vegetable oils, sweetened cereals, and laboratory-produced, low-fat, low-calorie “snacks”, are a sure way to develop hyperinsulinemia, high blood pressure, obesity, and a number of other health problems.

Human beings evolved as fat and meat eaters. Thorough analysis of prehistoric human remnants shows that our distant ancestors subsided almost entirely on animal foods, were strong and lean, and never suffered from tooth decay. Those who lived until ripe old age never developed any of modern diseases. On the contrary, more recent agrarians were plagued with osteoporosis, scull and tooth deformities, numerous infections, and other ailments. But the worst state of human health has undoubtedly been observed in the industrialized world in the recent decades. In the United States, heart disease, strokes, hypertension, diabetes, allergies, autoimmune disorders, and obesity have reached the level of epidemic, despite sophisticated modern pharmaceuticals, complicated diagnostic procedures, outstanding medical achievements, grain-based diets, and billions of dollars spent on health care. Sadly, but the low-fat, high-carb dogma has turned the United States into one of the sickest and fattest nations of the world.

If you want to lose weight without harming your health, you will have to turn away from the conventional dietary advice and make drastic changes in the way you eat. A low-carb, traditional diet for life is able not only to normalize weight, but also miraculously cure a number of “diseases of civilization”, including type II diabetes and many gastrointestinal disorders. The following ten weight-loss suggestions will serve your better than the low-fat dogma pushed by diet dictocrats and embedded in the Food Guide Pyramid:

1. Build your diet around fresh, pasture-fed meats, full-fat, cultured dairy products, and organic fruits and vegetables in season.

2. Restrict the amount of dietary carbohydrates to about 40 grams a day. Do not eat any processed, pre-packaged, or refined types of carbohydrates.

3. Skip your morning cereal, skim milk, white toast, and orange juice and opt for eggs, natural butter, additive-free bacon, a piece of fresh fruit, and whipping cream in your tea.

4. Do not drink soda pop, even so-called “dietary varieties” that are loaded with neuro-toxic aspartame. Sugar and high-fructose corn syrup from regular soda drinks, as well as aspartame from “diet” beverages, negatively influence metabolism, trigger carbohydrate cravings, and facilitate weight gain.

5. Drink pure water with a squeeze of fresh lime or lemon, herbal and green teas, home-made lacto-fermented drinks, and freshly-brewed coffee in moderation.

6. Always choose red wine instead of beer or distilled liquors.

7. Swap processed vegetable oils and margarines for cold-pressed olive and coconut oils and traditional animal fats, such as butter, lard, and beef tallow.

8. At all costs avoid dining at fast-food restaurants. Instead, go to a sushi bar, steak house, French bistro, or any other restaurant that serves fresh, natural foods.

9. Avoid eating unfermented soy in the form of soy milk or soy burgers. Soy is loaded with enzyme inhibitors, carcinogens, and substances that inhibit thyroid function. Underactive thyroid is one of the key causes of weight gain in pre-menopausal women. Only long-fermented, traditional soy products, such as miso, soy sauce, or natto, are safe to consume in small amounts.

10. Do not count calories and do not starve yourself. Carbohydrate restriction will naturally burn body fat and lead to a loss of excess weight.
