Diet Protocol

     

"Fichte laid it down that education should aim at destroying free will, so that, after pupils have left school, they shall be incapable, throughout the rest of their lives, of thinking or acting otherwise than as their schoolmasters would have wished.  But in this day this was an unattainable ideal: what he regarded as the best system in existence produced Karl Marx.  In future such failures are not likely to occur where there is dictatorship.  Diet, injections, and injunctions will combine, from a very early age, to produce the sort of character and the sort of beliefs that the authorities consider desirable, and any serious criticism of the powers that be will become psychologically impossible."      Bertrand Russell, The Impact of Science on Society

     

What Causes Obesity, Diabetes and Hypertension ???

  

“Let your food be your medicine, and your medicine be your food”  - Hippocrates

 

"If God didn’t make it; don’t eat it.” Doctor Robert Rowen MD

"The Doctor of the Future will give no medicine, but will involve the patient in the proper use of food, fresh air, and exercise." Thomas Edison

"It appears that obesity is not the only thing controlled by the information in our food. So are stress response, mood, behavior. memory and brain function. That is why a fresh, whole food, organic, real-food diet is the foundation of health."  Doctor Mark Hyman

"Food is powerful medicine. Eating more of certain foods and less of others can substantially boost the bodies ability to fight most illnesses from colds to cancer."   Doctor Keith Block MD

"Food is the fastest-acting and most powerful medicine you can take to change your life." Doctor Mark Hyman MD

“Among modern hunter-gatherers, the percentage of total protein and fat have been found to vary from 36% to 97% with total carbohydrates varying from 3% to 64% and the people at both extremes are equally disease-free.” Doctor Jonathan V. Wright MD, Note this is a mind blowing fact first take some time to digest its implications, then stop worrying about your fat consumption. Just make sure ALL the fat you consume is GOOD fat and all your carbs are complex.

“Genetically modified hydrogenated soybean oil is now present in over 60% of food items on the shelves of American supermarkets. It's the main ingredient in most commercial pies, cakes, ice cream, chocolate candy, donuts, pastries, cookies, and salad dressings, and a hidden ingredient in practically everything else. It has no food value, cannot be well digested, and contains many contaminants.” The Doctor Within, Note it will also slowly kill you IMO

“Eating when we're not hungry, or else just enough to get through the day, choosing the most conveniently available foods, the tasty ones with that quick jolt of sugar, or oxidized fat - this will allow us to survive. But there's another option available to us - choosing foods that will detox the body, build our immunity, unclog our blood, and optimize the quality of life. Our ability to make rational choices based on the body's real needs rather than on the programmed urges from the food industry - this ability will determine our total health potential.” The Doctor Within

“If you've hit 40 and are still eating the way you did at 20, you're going down my friend. You're wearing out, filling up. The body has exhausted its efforts to break down all those chemicals, all those preservatives, all that hydrogenated oil. Since you still take it in, it has to end up somewhere. It does - inside you. After age 40 you simply can't eat the way you did at 20. Not if you're going to be healthy enough to avoid doctors and hospitals. Comfort foods? So you have to have your comfort foods, right? How comfortable will you be in ICU? After 40, no more chips and fries. That's it for you.” The Doctor Within

“While Americans are overfed in terms of calories, they are malnourished in terms of nutrients. No wonder they ranked 17th in terms of life expectancy, despite having the best doctors and most modern medical technology in the world. In an overfed but malnourished nation, this problem is an epidemic because 80% of the adults are afflicted, whether they are aware of it or not. Furthermore, it is silent because the symptoms of deficiency-induced illness take 10-20 years to surface. During this silent period, we are all lead to believe that we are in a state of "normal" health, supported by "normal" laboratory test results. The reality is that we are in a sub-clinical phase of illness with abnormalities where current laboratory test is not sensitive enough to pick up.”       Doctor Michael Lam MD

“Since fat has the most calories per gram, it is logical to limit fat intake if one wants to lose weight. Certainly, this hypothesis appears to make perfect sense on the surface. Clinical trials on obesity, conducted through the last century, fail to support this theory. In fact, the opposite is true. The amount of weight loss appears to be inversely proportional to the carbohydrate content of the food. When a high-fat, lower carbohydrate diet is taken, the rate of weight loss is greater. The converse is also true. Despite this, the medical profession continues to turn its head away from this truth.” Doctor Michael Lam MD

“Clearly, the destructive role of carbohydrates has not been fully elucidated before the public is asked to indulge into this 20 year exercise of slow-suicide. It is now clear that excessive refined carbohydrates can be equally, if not more, destructive than excessive saturated fat. Perhaps it should be made more clear - excessive intake of harmful carbohydrates such as cakes, sweets, potatoes, white bread and pasta are the main culprits behind the rise in obesity and cardiovascular disease despite a drop in dietary saturated fats over the past 20 years.” Doctor Michael Lam MD

"Besides eating whole food and moving your body getting enough sleep is the most important thing you can do for your health." Doctor Mark Hyman

"We found eating unaltered, raw food or food heated at low temperatures did not cause increased leukocytes. In addition, if a food had been heated beyond a certain temperature (unique to each food), or if the food was processed (refined, added chemicals, etc.), this always caused leukocytosis. The foods causing the greatest leukocytosis, were processed foods that had been refined, homogenized, pasteurized, or chemically preserved." Swiss Institute of Chemistry, Note the leukocytes are the immune system attacking a foreign invader; the "processed food" is not recognized as food.

"In one study simply washing tomatoes reduced the residue of the pesticide benomyl by 80%." Doctor Anthony Cichoke

"Ten times as many Americans are attempting to lose weight by dieting, which doesn't work, than by exercising, which does work. One of every two American adults is following a reduced calorie diet plan, but according to a recent review of dieting studies, almost all dieters regained all of the weight lost during their restricted calorie period. Meanwhile, a 2008 study of physical activity in the United States found that less than 5 percent of adults perform even 30 minutes of moderate activity on a regular basis, defined as five days a week. The good news is that it is relatively simple to reverse this process of muscle loss and metabolic slowdown. Several studies have demonstrated that a brief strength training program can increase both muscle tissue and resting metabolism" Wayne L. Westcott, Ph.D

"Researchers studied the effect blueberries had when added to the diet of rats. After 90 days, rats that received a blueberry-enriched diet had less abdominal fat, lower triglycerides, lower cholesterol, and improved fasting glucose and insulin sensitivity." USDA Human Nutrition Center

"Forget counting calories or fat grams. Instead, grow new brain cells by eating the right foods, supplements, teas and spices. Seven teaspoons of spices, seven tea beverages, the ability to combine high fiber meals with green proteins. Add a hormone component and presto! A whole new way of losing weight and living." Doctor Eric Braverman MD, Note the Doctor is describing a daily diet component  

"Changes to diet and nutritional lifestyle must be implemented, to achieve a better balance of protein and natural unprocessed fats, and a much lower intake of carbohydrates. This requires less consumption of processed foods that contain trans fats and oxidized fats." Brian Peskin PhD

"What Dr. Eger discovered is that a medical problem called a "disease" may actually be nothing more than a "condition" brought on by lousy metabolism secondary to a bad diet. You might not know what organ will be most vulnerable to improper nutrition. For Kristen, it was her eyes. For you, it might be your heart or circulation. For another, it might be a weakened immune system leading to cancer. How many medical "conditions" (diseases) might be nothing more that subnormal nutrition? In fact, I would wager that another more prevalent eye "disease" — glaucoma — is directly related to diet, and could be helped the same way. The first place to start with any problem, or for pure prevention, is diet."  Doctor Robert Rowen MD  

"Biophoton research also explains the underlying principles of why it’s so vital to eat a diet of mostly RAW food."  Light and Your Body

"Is the Mediterranean Diet Just Easier to Stick To? Yet another study in favor of the Mediterranean diet! Researchers found that diabetic patients following this dietary pattern lost more weight and needed fewer medications after four years than those following a typical "low fat" diet.  Of course, in "free-living" studies such as these, in which the subjects choose what and how much they eat, compliance is always the big story. One diet may be more effective simply because people find it easier to stick to and not because of any metabolic magic.”  NutritionData.com

"If you’re consuming a food or beverage created in a lab instead of by nature, you can be assured your body doesn’t recognize it. This opens the door to short-term and long-lasting health problems for you and your family.”  Doctor Joseph Mercola MD

"Dietary capsaicin lowered fasting glucose, insulin and leptin levels and markedly reduced the impairment of glucose tolerance in overweight mice, Our data suggest that dietary capsaicin may reduce obesity-induced glucose intolerance by not only suppressing inflammatory responses but also enhancing fatty acid oxidation in adipose tissue and/or liver, both of which are important peripheral tissues affecting insulin resistance,"    Rina Yu University of Ulsan South Korea, Note leptin helps put on fat. IMO get real close to red pepper it is loaded with goodness

But how can you know which foods to buy -- let alone which foods to eat? Color is the key. If you know what you want to prevent or improve, there is probably a color associated with what you need. Fruits and vegetables contain phytochemicals which are packed with vitamins and minerals. They can protect against things like the effects of aging, cancer and heart disease. Fruits and vegetables are categorized by color. These categories can help alert the healthy consumer of what benefits the fruit or vegetable has in store. These color categories include red, blue/purple, yellow/orange, white and green. Those in the white category, such as bananas, garlic, onions and potatoes, help with heart health, lowering cholesterol and reducing the risk of some cancers. Cantaloupes, mangoes and sweet potatoes are all part of the yellow/orange category and help with the eye and heart health. Green grapes, kiwis, broccoli and spinach also help with vision and reducing the risk of cancer. Blueberries have the phytochemical anthocyanin which helps reduce age effects."    Life Extension

"There is a medical revolution happening all around us. If we're right, it could impact on consumer education, food service, public health, and even insurance agencies. About a dozen drugs are already in use to deprive tumors of blood supplies in a treatment tactic called "anti-angiogenesis. The foundation pitted some foods against approved drugs and found that soy, parsley, red grapes, berries and other comestibles were either as effective or more potent in battling cancer cells. Eaten together, the foods were even more effective in fighting cancer. We discovered that Mother Nature laced a large number of foods and herbs with anti-angiogenesis features, For many people around the world, dietary cancer treatment may be the only solution because not everyone can afford cancer drugs.”      Angiogenesis Foundation head William Li at a prestigious TED Conference

"Epigenetics is unraveling a continuous cross talk between our genetic profile and the environment. Indeed, genome is much more “flexible” than previously thought and such flexibility underscores the relevance of “good eating” for maintenance of good health. Future nutritionists will have to face the challenge of elucidating the mechanism of nutrition-induced epigenetic changes during pre and post-natal life, to optimize nutritional interventions in a “personalized” perspective.”   Genes & Nutrition

Vitamin D is Critical in Reading Our Genome

"Traditionally, we understand that individual phenotypes result primarily from inherited genetic variants together with environmental exposures. However, many studies showed that a remarkable variety of factors including environmental agents, parental behaviors, maternal physiology, xenobiotics, nutritional supplements and others lead to epigenetic changes that can be transmitted to subsequent generations without continued exposure. Recent discoveries show transgenerational epistasis and transgenerational genetic effects where genetic factors in one generation affect phenotypes in subsequent generation without inheritance of the genetic variant in the parents. Together these discoveries implicate a key signaling pathway, chromatin remodeling, methylation, RNA editing and micro-RNA biology. This exceptional mode of inheritance complicates the search for disease genes and represents perhaps an adaptation to transmit useful gene expression profiles from one generation to the next.”    Human Molecular Genetics

If you want to do something about your state of health, you simply MUST become conscious about your food selections. Are you eating real, unadulterated foods, or are you eating chemical concoctions, pressed and mashed and artificially flavored to give the appearance of being food? Are you eating foods that are loaded with antibiotics and hormones? Are you eating foods that contain ingredients that are genetically modified to pull double-duty as pesticides? These are important questions that will only become more important as time goes on and public health continues to decline.”   Doctor Joseph Mercola MD

       

So What Do You EAT

"Noted British psychiatric researcher Malcolm Peet conducted a provocative cross-cultural analysis of the relationship between diet and mental illness. His primary finding was a strong link between high sugar consumption and the risk of both depression and schizophrenia.”      The Links Between Sugar and Mental Health

"When I was younger and less experienced I thought that the main reason traditional medical practice did not stress the body's own healing power and represented the doctor as a necessary intervention was for profit. But after practicing for over twenty years I now understand that the last thing most people want to hear is that their own habits, especially their eating patterns and food choices, are responsible for their disease and that their cure is to only be accomplished through dietary reform, which means unremittingly applied self-discipline. One of the hardest things to ask of a person is to change a habit. The reason that AMA doctors have most of the patients is they're giving the patients exactly what they want, which is to be allowed to continue in their unconscious irresponsibility."   Isabelle Moser MD     How And When To Be Your Own Doctor

After surfing around this site for awhile you should have an idea of what foods are healthy, what foods are REQUIRED and which "foods" should be AVOIDED. One can freely eat good food; manufactured "food" is NOT food.

Forget fad diets or any diet you see promoted. YOUR diet MUST be crafted for YOU by YOU. Your diet is nothing but a set of good eating habits (See Good Habits Protocol) you have found you can stick with and refine for the rest of your life. It’s no fad. You will refine your diet step by step as you find what works for you and what does not. ALWAYS you will proceed by discarding less healthy choices and replacing them with healthier choices. It’s a great feeling once you figure out there is a world of thousands of healthy satisfying good whole mostly raw foods out there. You will see that that eating, working, exercising, thinking and loving fit together in a happy healthy manner.

The famous Framingham study yielded this in the end. “We found the more saturated fats one ate the more cholesterol one ate, the more calories one ate, the lower the person’s serum cholesterol…we found that people who ate the most cholesterol, ate the most saturated fat and ate the most calories weighed the least and were the most physically active.” Castelli, William, Archives of Internal Medicine, 1992 July; 152[7]:1371-1372

Note Doctor Castelli was referring to GOOD saturated fat; there are BAD saturated fats. Does this mean you can pig out and lay back and be healthful? NO! What it does mean is you can forget about counting calories, avoiding fat, eating by category and restricting your diet in any way other than limiting your food choices to the thousands of good healthful mostly raw whole food items available to you.

When you need something you will get a taste for it. Your job is to convert that taste for a piece of cake into something healthy. Some things MUST be cooked (See Cooked Foods Protocol) but try to eat as much RAW as possible. Don’t wait to get too hungry, eat a healthful snack (See Healthy Snack Protocol) and plan your next good meal. If you get too hungry you just may eat some convenient junk that is always lurking at the edge of your life. Always plan your meals and snacks. What is healthy to eat? What do I need to eat? What do I feel like eating? The three will meet in a healthy day’s food. There is no room for junk food if you plan.

If you are trying to lose weight (See Overweight Protocol) cocoanut oil should be a BIG part of your energy intake. Cocoanut Oil and Losing Weight The principal reason is cocoanut oil provides your body quick energy WITHOUT using insulin. This has vast implications for losing weight. Read the article and see!
