Open your mind!

This film is from diet doctor's webpage. He interviewed dr Mary Vernon, a self-learned low carb pioneer medical doctor from Kansas. Wish all doctors would watch this, with an open mind!

Here some of the most important points from the clip, sorry if it isn't stylishly correct, I wrote as I listened....

"The job of insulin is to stop fat burning and enhance fat storage"

Exctract from Biochemistry book for medical school.


How do you control the body from making insulin? All you have to do is take take out the sugar and starches, the bodies won't make extra insulin, they won't store fat, they'll burn fat.

How come they teach that at biochemistry and by the time you graduate you are told differently?

What did she do? Instead of a suscription of a pill she wrote a suscription on how to eat. And what happened?

People started getting well, not only well. They started getting remarkably well, shockingly well.

Who should eat low carb?

Everyone should eat low carb.

Carb tolerance is like a body's tolerance to sun. Some can take a bit more, others have to be more careful in order not to store carbs/burn skin.

Nobody needs to count calories! Just eat right.

Sometime the body has underlined damages that cannot be fixed only by food (that is why you need a medical doctor to help you, IF you are on medication - problem is that most physicians are not train how and when to take off people off drugs). But the starting point for all is the food intake.

You start off with the right amount of Protein. What you need depends on how much muscles and bone you have to maintain, your doctor should be able to calculate this (30 g of protein every meal/ or 1 gr per kg). Then you Fuel source: fat and carbs, depending on your body. When you burn carbohydrate, energy comes and goes, but with fat the burning is more stable.

Encourage people to eat: real food, not processed food. Especially vegetables, also some roots like carrots and potatoe but with fat to stabilize blood sugar.

The process to stabilize insuline may take five years!

It is very difficult to become anorectic, your weight stabilizes.

Impressive final remark - for those of you that oppose this diet because of its harm on the environment (my comment):

If everyone was eating like this, we wouldn't have to put so much energy into disrupting the environment for making grains, instead more grasfed beef, poultry. According to some studies, people decreased their intake of food by 1000 calories a day. If everyone around the world would decrease their energy intake by 1000 calories per day, wouldn't that be great for the environment!

Gotcha! (my comment)
