Many have moved on to obesity and the numbers will continueto grow as long as we continue to follow dietary advice which conflicts withnature.   We should have learned by nowthat it is dangerous to think we can improve on nature's own laws.   I do not know exactly when it began, but sometime, inthe last thirty to forty years, it has become the standard, unquestionablebelief that a regular diet is necessary for good health.   If you do not count your calories, you willput on weight and if you do not eat the prescribed food groups, your healthwill suffer.   This sounds very plausible until you stop long enoughto realize that this is not what nature prescribed for us .   A diet is not necessary tolose weight . It never has been.    No diets can work permanently and ifthe weight loss is not permanent, what is the point?   If you wantto lose weight for good , then you must do what your body dictates and yourbody does not want you to diet.   For many hundreds of thousands of years, modern peoplejust like us, not only survived, but they thrived on a very different dietwithout any such requirements.   Had theynot been on a healthy diet, they would have perished.    On the broad spectrum of history, if not on commonsense, people did very well until professional diets were introduced somethirty to forty years ago, and they have done very badly since.   Every day we are learning of the risks and dangers ofinterfering with the design created by nature.   We have exploited our natural resources and we have abused ourenvironment.   Climate change is ourpunishment and our descendants will pay dearly for that. It should thereforenot be such a surprise to learn that since the mid twentieths century, we haveexperienced a similar type of interference to our food. Vested interests haveredesigned our diet and introduced foods which are not only bad for us ourbodies are incapable of processing them.   The evidence of this can be seen everywhere.    People are growing fat and digestiveproblems are multiplying.   A look at theshelves at your local pharmacy will confirm that.   We learn that two thirds of the population isoverweight, and the number is growing by the day.    We hear that there is now an official epidemic of obesity .   Type 2 diabetes is connected to obesity and aboom in that very dangerous disease follows close behind.    Because of our wonderful advances inscience, most of the deadly diseases in the past are now curable or are beingtreated with a lot of success.   The one medicalproblem nobody seems to have an answer for is the fact that everybody isgradually getting fat.   The diets we aretold will fix that have in fact turned out to be the cause itself.   The planet may or may not survive, but it isbecoming equally questionable whether our species will be around to find out.   By the standards and advice of our present weightproblem experts, humankind could not have survived.   We would be extinct by now.   Of course, that could not really havehappened because the food these experts want us to eat simply were notavailable till the twentieths century.   These are facts and they should at least give you some food for thought.   If you want to diet to lose weight, you will have to gohungry, you will have to count calories and you will probably need toexercise.   After all that effort, youwill lose some weight which is guaranteed to come back, plus a little extra,before the year has ended.   That appliesto any diet that requires you to count calories.   Particularly when it involves foods our bodyis not designed to process.   If you have any doubt, just consider this: No dietduring the past forty years, promoted by so called experts, has ever undergonescientific scrutiny.   Yet, they have beenreadily accepted by the majority of people as if they were legitimatescience.   No human trials have ever beenconducted to prove the validity of any of these diets. The diet advice we relyon today is based on pseudo science, urban myths, optimism and a strong beliefthat if foods look fresh and sound healthy and a feasible theory can be devisedto present it as a diet, then it must be good.    Some of these diets don’t even pretend to be weight reducing. They arecalled Health Diets. We have come so far down this road, that we are ready tobelieve that a diet is good for its own sake.   It is tragic and a little scary that this kind of massdeception can continue unabated when all it takes is a shift in perception tosee what a fraud it really is.   Weightproblems and obesity were not common issues in the sixtieths or even theseventieths.   People ate three meals aday, there was plenty of junk food around and there was no shortage of sweetproducts.   There was also noNutritionists, Dieticians or Diet Food Manufacturers to dazzle and confuse uswith Voodoo Science.   Wake up and get thesolution before the cure kills you.   http://thenpn.com/at/?id=20940 KirstenPlotkin Author Thebook My Own Plan Goldcoast Australia
