Dietitians?

(The 99.9% that aren’t low-carbohydrate dietitians)?

Are the number one reason we are in this health mess.

Soaring rates of weight-gain, diabetes, cancer and heart-disease (all rising in younger people!)

Dietitians continue to push high sugar (carbohydrate) foods like pasta, flour, rice, cereal, bread, fruit and snacks.

A huge number still work for junk-food companies like Nestle and cereal companies.

They continue with outdated comments like ‘you need fruit/wholegrains in your diet’.

‘Snacking is important’ (what a damaging chestnut).

Or a low-carbohydrate diet ‘is restrictive or not sustainable’.

Try saying that to Mr Policeman when they nab you doing 52km/hr through a 40km/hr school zone or running a red light.

‘But sir, these driving restrictions are unsustainable’.

Why we still give these ‘dietary dinosaurs’ the right to practice is beyond me, when they are directly responsible for the soaring diabetes, heart disease, dementia and cancer rates by still advocating a high-carbohydrate diet?

Now they want to get involved with the tsunami of weight-loss drugs.

Do we really want these lunatics taking over the asylum’.

For 2026?

If you DON’T want to get better?

Book an appointment with a dietitian dietary dinosaur, and watch your health worsen.

Sad….but true. 😑

The one thing you ask?

The one thing you can do over this holiday period that won’t worsen your health?

The one thing that won’t make you more fat, more sore, more inflamed , worsen your blood sugars, or increase your risk for bowel cancer, dementia or heart disease?

That’s an easy one.

Stop snacking on the humble cracker, water cracker, rice thin, popcorn or similar.

Each 100grams of rice cracker?

Slams about 22 teaspoons equivalent of sugar into your body.

It literally lights up your poor brain, arteries, heart and bowel.

And if you are one of the hundreds of thousands with atrial fibrillation?

This slam of sugar and insulin is what is causing this heart quiver.

Yep, your cardiologist with 20 years training and another 20 years on the job can’t even deliver this message to your face (but will just tweak your beta-blocker right)

The holiday season is a roller coaster of health and emotion.

Try and get to the other side by filling up on the real health foods like animal proteins and stay away from the biscuits/cracker landmines that may seem humble but are anything but.

Leave the landmines for someone else’s body and enjoy the protein.

I’m often speechless….

But I’m still shaking my head with this one….

😑🙄

Firstly, this research doesn’t make sense….mice, smell and bacon?

Second…someone paid for and actually did this research!

Third, it will be in the front page of many papers urging people to stop eating meat 😓

It’s the perfect click-bait rubbish headline, but it will get a hell of of a lot more attention than this post 😱😳

Gotta laugh or you’ll cry, right 😉

A motivational missing link?

Could this hormone motivate you to help make overall health and dietary change?

And just feel better!

Yes, peri, and post menopausal symptoms are multifactorial.

But it is worth discussing with a doctor experienced in HRT.

A good start is to discuss with your regular GP if total testosterone and Free Androgen Index (FAI) can be measured in your next set of blood tests.

Just as it’s crucial to measure full iron studies, Vitamin D, B12/folate, TSH etc, measuring testosterone, along with oestrogen and progesterone should be standard.

If it was us blokes?

Of course we would be prompted to have it done regularly.

So why not for women?

They do what!

But I thought….

Yes, so did I.

Ahhh….a great mystery solved.

I’m lucky enough to be having a short break in India.

I’ve been lucky enough to do a fair bit of travel in this wonderful country.

Gee, Mr Nutritionist, how do you get on there with almost being carnivore!?

Well, something that certainly isn’t covered in India’s census, is that a huge amount of Indians are NOT vegetarian.

Oh, I can hear those vegetarians and vegans grinding their teeth 😆

So many Indians eat especially chicken-massive amounts. Plus eggs.

A large amount also use dried fish in their meals.

Millions in the northeast and west eat mutton (they call goat, not sheep mutton).

I’ve met many lean Indians and many overweight Indians (sadly when they gain weight and get diabetes they jokingly talk about their ‘food-baby’ and don’t realise the seriousness of their condition).

My purely personal observation is those that can get off the eating ‘boom/bust’ carbohydrates can escape the incessant snacking that is present here in India as it is in the Western world.

How?

By eating filling, nutrient-dense animal proteins or the ultimate ‘slow-food’.

This ‘crowds-out’ the carbohydrate-snacking that is making us sick, sore and fat….carbs are ‘fast, hot-burning fuel’.

And the other thing I always see here is a complete lack of the elderly using walking aids.

Sure, part of it is out of necessity as their welfare state is virtually non-existent.

But it’s empowering to see very elderly, lean men and women, striding out, lifting, pushing, carrying their shopping bags, and still independent.

We are all going to age, slow down and leave this mortal coil .

But the wonderful thing about travel is we have a choice, to experience independent OR dependent ageing.

For that one?

I have to leave that choice to you.

If you don’t eat animal protein?

If you don’t eat enough protein?

You will be hungry and your blood sugars will be on a roller coaster.

So your brain will override any ‘health logic’ and will force you to eat junk food.

Simply because you are hungry and deficient in protein and nutrients.

Dietitians, diabetes companies, anti-meat vegetarians/vegans and Mormons have done SO much damage in this area.

Their message that animal protein, especially red meat is ‘bad for you’ has forced us into the arms of junk food.

To get better?

Start embracing a higher meat, higher protein, lower carbohydrate diet and get off the junk food rollercoaster.

Your life depends on it.

Building muscle, strength and a lower carbohydrate diet?

Is wasted on the youth 😆

The fountain of youth is…

Pairing lifting weights with a lower-carbohydrate diet.

I can help.

There is new killer in town.

And it’s up to us to either die slowly in poor health or die on our terms.

Uplifting stuff I know.

Dementia is now our biggest killer.

It’s taken over the mantle from cardiovascular disease.

You might say that we are living longer…but dementia is occurring more often (like bowel cancer and heart attacks) in younger people.

And air pollution is now the 3rd biggest cause of CVD (behind high blood pressure and diet).

Firstly dementia.

Our brains is a very hot organ as is used a great deal of energy.

If you eat a high carbohydrate diet, it is constantly bathed in insulin and glucose that heats it up like a nuclear reactor.

Cooling brain foods are proteins and fats or slow-burning foods.

High blood pressure still is the world’s number one killer as too much glucose and insulin (from high carbohydrate diets) flow through, irritate and constrict our arteries.

Finally, reducing the impact of air pollution (from transport, construction and oil and gas mining) can be minimised by a couple of very inexpensive nutrients (as well as a lower carb diet).

I love this one supplement as it is so powerful but is so inexpensive.

But it has one catch.

Vitamin C needs to be taken in small, consistent doses that many find tiring.

The payoff is artery, brain, liver, lung, prostate, o***y, skin and cholesterol protection.

Me?

I’ve been taking Vitamin C (the right way) for more than 10 years.

I can chat to you more about it when you see me at my new practice in 2026.

Yer….nah.

The stupidity of an influencer….

Basing his diet on a musical 🙄

Animal protein is the number one thing to include in your diet for optimal health as we age.

I abhor animal cruelty.

So I prioritise sourcing local produce from local farmers who love their animals.

For the record?

I like Jeff as an actor but not someone I’ll take nutrition advice from.

We are told from a very young age.

Fruit is good and chocolate is bad.

One will:

Worsen your blood pressure,
Increase fatty infiltrates in your already fatty liver,
Worsen your LDL cholesterol,
Worsen gout and reflux,
Cause gut upset
Increase fat gain around your middle
Worsen diabetes and CVD risk.

And that’s just the fruit!

Fruit is sugar and water with minimal fibre, a pinch of antioxidants, and drenched with pesticide residue

The key to ‘get better’?

Start relearning what is fact and what is spin/marketing or decades-old poor science.

Depending on your current blood tests, I can tell you if fruit is going to worsen (not improve) your current symptoms.

09/11/2025

If you hear this?

Your health is in real trouble.

“Just eat in moderation” or….

“Just eat a balanced diet and you’ll be right”.

The majority?

Are eating a diet that is 80% carbohydrate.

Cereal, bread, fruit, rice, pasta and snacks.

Your diet is 80% sugar!

So eating this very poor ‘moderate or balanced’ diet?

Will keep/make you sick.

You need to move to eating ‘slow food’ not fast food (carbohydrates).

This is something not worth celebrating.

I get it, I really do.

But…

It’s the biggest mistake you can make for both your health, and the planet.

And it’s lining the pockets of the already rich.

For many younger patients, it’s about making a stance and I understand that.

They feel disenfranchised and traumatised and unheard.

I equate going vegan to marching against the Vietnam war in the ‘60 (that I think had a positive outcome unlike veganism).

I think it’s both tragic and ironic that hands-down the most nutritious food we can eat today is the most demonised.

Red meat (and animal products like eggs, seafood, organ meat and chicken/turkey).

How did the diet dinosaurs get this 180 degrees wrong?

Religion and poor science.

Seventh-day Adventists or Mormons basically formed the first dietetics association in the US and the aussies based the Dietitians Association of Australia on this.

Hello Sanitarium and Kelloggs (multi-billion dollar quasi-religious groups) that pushed cereal and a plant-based diet and demonised red meat.

And scientists from the mid-1940’s to 60’s thought what was causing heart attacks and heart disease was fat/red meat.

It was in fact ci******es (everyone smoked back then) and the rising tide of soft drink, snacks, cereal and carbohydrates) that exploded post-WW2.

For the record?

I’m an agnostic omnivore.

And seriously?

Ask your health practitioner if they are vegan/vegetarian or if their diet beliefs are skewing the diet advice they are giving you.

You would be floored by how many vegan/vegetarian there are, and how many vegan researchers there are publishing biased papers without disclosing a religious or dietary belief!

Another tragedy are that humans, especially women and kids need MORE not less red meat in their diet.

It is and will always be the only superfood we have (along with organ meat, eggs and seafood).

A vegan and vegetarian diet is deficient in multiple minerals, vitamins, amino acids, and fatty acids.

As for climate change?

All cause greenhouse gases from ALL agriculture is 15%.

The other 85% is from transport, construction, oil and gas and waste.

So if you want to save the planet?

Ditch those new clothes, new phone, car, next cruise or flight.

And start catching a bus or train.
