Our Dietary Health Guidelines and the Seventh-day Adventist Church

Seventh-day Adventist’s have been largely responsible for creating and controlling our national dietary guidelines. Perhaps this is too strong of a statement but maybe not. This link goes over the history of our dietary guidelines. I posted this the other day and one person commented. But I just can’t stop thinking about it. It just blows my mind. I didn’t see this coming!! It’s really long so I get it if people aren’t interested. But I just thought I’d throw it out there, one more time in case someone missed it who would find it as fascinating as I do.

If you want to control your fat you must control your insulin

One of the things I learned from Ben Bikman- Why is weight control not just about calories in calories out? Without insulin you cannot store fat. Period!!!! Think about that, insulin is the gatekeeper to the entrance and exit of fat in your cells. This is why a symptom of type 1 diabetes is losing weight no matter, no matter!!! how many calories they eat. My takeaway is -Clearly if you want to control your fat you must control your insulin.

Comparing The Obesity Code by Jason Fung to The Calorie Myth by Jonathon Bailor

Comparison of The Obesity Code and The Calorie Myth -Someone asked me if I had heard of Jonathon Bailor and the Sane Solution because it seems to be inline with some of the stuff I've been posting. And the answer is Yes, I am a little familiar with him. I have Jonathan's book, The Calorie Myth (like I confessed - I have a lot of diet books) and I read it a couple of years ago and I liked it! The question caused me to review it and there is a lot of good stuff in there, similar to stuff I've been posting. So it made me wonder, why do I like the Obesity Code so much better? Why do I feel like "The Obesity Code" is making more of an impact on my life than what reading "The Calorie Myth" did? Perhaps its just a matter of timing and it has nothing to do with the material but it's a matter of me and my situation, my evolution of thought. But perhaps "The Calorie Myth" being part of that evolution of thought helped prepare me to allow The Obesity...

Read "Pure, White and Deadly" by John Yudkin, I wished we had listened to this man back in the day!!!!

So while listening to Dr. Lustig, I became interested in the researcher he refers to, named John Yudkin. Yudkin was a contemporary of the famous Ancel Keys who came up with the idea that saturated fat causes heart disease. Yudkin however felt that sugar was the culprit. Ancel Keys' hypothesis dominated the time and has had a vice grip on our nation for 60 years or so but I think Yudkin's theory is proving closer to the mark and will have the last word. Listening to Yudkin's book, "Pure, White and Deadly" was fascinating. Particularly humanizing was, towards the end of the book, when he shared his own struggle with a love of sugar.
