Low Carb Diet

The supermarket departments which contain the healthy essential proteins and essential fats are the fresh meats, fresh fish, seafood, dairy, and non starchy vegetables. Everything else in the store is very high in carbohydrates, which turn to glucose, hype the metabolism, and trigger the release of disease-causing hormones like insulin, cortisol, and adrenaline. See Here.

The consumption of carbohydrates generally begins showing the disease effects in either one of two directions.

Body fat accumulation leads to obesity, diabetes, heart disease, cancer, gallbladder disease, degenerative bone diseases, cataracts, and many others.

Damage to the intestinal tract leads to leaky gut syndrome, inflammatory bowel diseases, and a medical textbook listing of autoimmune diseases. These illnesses generally make the sufferer underweight and deficient in vitamins and minerals caused by poor digestion.

The primary high-carbohydrate foods to avoid are sugars, honey, flour, grains, legumes, fruit, milk, and starchy-vegetables. Do not eat honey. Honey is pure carbohydrate sugar consisting of fructose, glucose, sucrose, maltose, isomaltose, maltulose, turanose, kojibiose, erlose, theanderose, and panose. It is very confusing why people worship honey. Many people are wrong on this point. They claim it is acceptable because ancient cavemen may have eaten it and somehow became adapted to honey as a healthy food. That is an incorrect conclusion. Ancient Paleo man may have eaten it once in a lifetime, but probably not. He didn't want to be stung by bees any more than we do, and he didn't have any protective netting.

Whole grains cause disease in both humans and animals. Whole grain breads and bagels are not the healthy food as people are lead to believe. All grains have a very high level of Omega-6 fatty acids which are pro-inflammatory. Grains are a poor source of protein. Grains are the most allergenic of all foods. Multiple sclerosis, lupus, and rheumatoid arthritis are rare in populations in which no grain products are consumed.

Grain fed to feedlot steers makes them fat and causes intestinal diseases. The feedlot diet given to steers is almost identical to the USDA Food Guide Pyramid. Both diets are very high in grains. The feedlot operator is deliberately making the steers fat. Fatty beef is given higher grading, receives the best price, and has the best flavor. The time in the feedlot is short, and the steer is sent to slaughter prior to developing any serious health problem. People get fat and develop disease for the very same reasons. Grains are worse for humans because we are omnivores. Steers are herbivores, but the grains still make them fat and give them diseases.

Primitive cultures that primarily ate meat from the hunt lived in relatively good health. Those people who switched to a grain-based diet obtained from the cultivation of grains suffered poor health, diseases, and a smaller stature.
