Which Diet, Carbs, Paleo or Veggie or Gluten Free?
I think I'm ready now to write something on this since I
hyper-focused on it long enough. This will not be proof-read. Something
just didn't sound right on the Gluten-Free Diet fixing all our problems
including weight. For Celiacs though they don't have a lot of choices.
So I'm ready to write something on this based on studies now and in the
past over the years. First we have to know how diets work.
The body is a machine and like any machine repetition makes things run smooth. When we change what we eat, say as in a special diet, the machine gets out of balance and weight loss results. Certain foods require certain enzymes to break it down and our body becomes use to producing just certain ones. Add to that before a diet we eat almost whatever, which the body sees all these enzymes it needs at once, and they could all be different. I love a Cheeseburger, even though one like we see advertised when eaten becomes a massive train wreck for our bodies. The meat requires different than the lettuce, than the bread, than the condiments, than the other stuff we toss on. When we go on diets we limit our usual food though and it's like our body's production has sat on the couch watching TV for a few years then tries to run a Triathlon... ain't gonna happen.
Suddenly our body has to produce something different, and we lose weight as a lot slips through without digestion. Once our body learns what to produce on the diet, the weight levels off and even slowly returns. How much returns is depending on how well the diet is formed and how much nutrition the body is filled with, and that depends on what food ones eats and how it is grown or fed. The normal diet of the body is skipped and it is like a shock, then as the shock is over the weight starts to come back. That is why the Atkins Diet worked as long as you abstained from carbs. Why the Eden Diet worked for a while, the Paleo Diet will work for a while. Pick or insert your favorite diet here.
The problem become when our body craves minerals and nutrients. Our soils we know things grow good with just 3 minerals, NPK, what most fertilizers have rated. We are what we eat. Remember old people saying that? The NPK is needed but those are just a drop in the bucket from all that is needed. When horses need a vitamin or mineral they chew on things, especially wood, and it's called cribbing. Cows will eat dirt and human will snack. Rather than fixing the problem of the deficiency, we came up with plan B, snacks. Snack foods are profitable. Eventually though this not only contributes to weight gain but also diseases. Then we have Irradiating our food. Cardboard would have better nutritional value than irradiated food. I had radiation for cancer and the first thing you are told is that radiation is like dropping a nuclear bomb. You kill all, both good and bad.
Then we have the point of excess. My great grandmother always said, "Too much of a good thing ain't good anymore." And she was right. Too much carbohydrates get stored as fat. Too much meat makes the body acidic. Maybe like a mixture of fruits, meats, and vegetables, depending on blood type and location. Definitely a food that has not been genetically created, altered, or tampered with. That does not mean everything raw but rather each prepared to it's own needs and to the needs of the body, and at a portion that person requires. Genetics seem to be the common link on all of this.
The Paleo Diet flips me out. Eat like a Caveman? Too funny and perhaps too revealing. Maybe their ancestors were Cavemen, who knows, mine as well. I just don't see it though. If our ancestors were though maybe mine was smarter than theirs. Plenty of animals know how to dig, fish, and even prepare food. I'm betting if there were Cavemen, they did too. Meats need to be cooked... completely and blood drained... completely. Unless your a Werewolf or a beast, your meat should be drained and cooked for safety. I love meat, but I don't want to chase it down or wipe it's butt to eat it. All meat has fat, a healthy fat, and all meat is acidic. Cancer, arthritis, and pretty much all diseases require high acidity. All fruit has fructose and while not a bad thing, we've covered that already.
Vegetables and breads must be real, not crossed and certainly not laced, fruits the same way. Your carbs should be not a predetermined level but according to your activity, type of food, and metabolism. A Vegetarian diet I just don't understand. I think that is a scam just like the Paleo Diet. Vegan by choice is one thing but it isn't healthy either, you miss the proper nutrition on that too, plus eat stuff that is not natural. By that I mean GM/GE/GMO/Pesticides/Herbicides, and most of that can be called Organic! We were made to be Omnivores with all combined. Vegans are not saving the world with eating only vegetables, they may actually be making it worse and certainly are making themselves worse if they are eating genetically modified, created, or altered vegetables. I still remember the first I had ever heard, a cross between a Firefly and Corn way back in the 70s. We thought it was so cool back then.
The Diets that blow me away are the supposed Christian and/or Bible diets. Who thinks this crap up? Better still, who falls for it? Some religions have food restrictions, some don't. Christian diets don't. Your are suppose to eat what you are served. I tend to wonder if they read the whole book and not just parts. Shame on the ones who play this on people and a bigger shame on the people who don't have enough sense to read and research it for themselves.
So after reading, watching some documentaries, and a lot of research, not that it shows because I don't get technical, I think my diet will be as follows. We've all noticed different benefits from Gluten Free and at times just reduced Gluten diets. Dr William Davis in his book "Wheat Belly" shows that Gluten is bad (when in large amounts), today's three grains are modified to have increased amounts. By some accounts 400% more! There is an attempt to bring back original wheats though. I think though all this goes more along with Jeffery M Smith who wrote "Seeds Of Deception", plus a little more information. When you add those two together you have a complete picture for weight problems and diseases we see on the rise.
Gluten is at an excessive rate. Remember the Too much of a good thing saying. Leaky Gut is where they both come together though. If your not familiar with that term look it up. Jeffery M Smith tells about how Pesticides and Herbicides work on an insect. There are videos up here on that. It causes holes to form in the gut. BT Corn I think is the real culprit, but the wheat thing ain't helping none. Add to that the other Franken Foods out there (hybrids) and we have a recipe for disaster. Certain things are natural and your body knows and has natural tools to work with them, and some things aren't. Those that are not your body has a reaction to and a response that isn't desirable. Even something as simple as water no longer is treated as water when anything is added, imagine a solid.
Now here is the problem with the Gluten-Free Diet. Corn and it's products. In an email I asked ARGO/Kingsford if they use GM/GE/GMO free corn and my response I got was simple:
"ACH Food Companies, Inc. recognizes current concerns that some customers may have regarding the use of products containing and/or derived from genetically engineered components.
The corn oil, vegetable oil, canola oil, corn syrup and corn starch ingredients that we use to produce our products are derived from genetically engineered seed. The product may contain trace amounts of protein and DNA resulting from genetic modification.
Certain crops such as corn, canola, soybeans, peanuts, cotton and sunflower, which are harvested in commercial quantities, are difficult to obtain from non-GMO sources."
Note the "trace amounts of Protein and DNA". Monsanto and the likes would have one believe it's safe. They spend a lot of money to deceive people, obscene amounts, but the stakes are high. Imagine owning the rights to every seed, every plant, everywhere. They have and have had for many a year and administration a revolving door to the FDA and USDA, plus Lobbyists and Think Tanks. They test their own products and scientists that don't play along are destroyed and tests tweaked to reflect what was desired. Most people haven't a clue about what they're eating, especially with the label "Organic", and lately "Natural". MSG is a natural occurring thing, one that kills. These labels can go on GM/GE/GMO products, though there is nothing natural about them. There are a lot of good books and films to watch like the ones mentioned plus ones like Food Inc, Sweet Misery, King Corn, Dr Mercola, and others.
So I will stay as much as I can on a G-F Diet plus a no Franken Food diet, which includes any meat that isn't from a Grass Fed Diet. No seafood due to the Gulf Oil Spill and BP's patch they pored on it, Corexit, and Japanese disaster.
