The Real Food Pyramid

I often see people out in public with these symptoms and wonder if they have any idea that it is a sign of metabolic disease. Simple changes in the type of food you consume can improve these symptoms and the metabolic issues.

Protein is way more important than many people realise. Great advice from Nina Teicholz.

Protein is critical for a strong immune system. Yet school meals—with waffles instead of eggs for breakfast—often fall short of even the minimum required intake. Kids are being underfed the most important macronutrient to prevent sickness and promote optimal health.

Want stronger, healthier kids? Start with eggs and bacon for breakfast.

Excellent explanation as always from Dr. Bikman

Excellent point from Low Carb Canberra and Dr Penny Figtree. We are constantly bombarded with sweet treats we try to navigate the supermarket. The marketing gets next level as they push the latest catch phrase. High protein features heavily across the labels of many packaged snacks at the moment. Sadly this confuses many consumers when they would be best to buy some steak, chicken or fish instead.

According to HARVARD red meat CAUSES TYPE 2 diabetes.

I’m at the checkout at Cole’s and no one is selling me steaks here for half price.

I’m not from Harvard but I’d bet a billion dollars red meat does NOT cause type 2 diabetes.

It’s the sugars and starches

Improving the type of food you consume, improves so many areas of your life and health.

Still, ten years on from adopting a low carb diet, the benefits are paying dividends for Dr Brukner's health. Every test comes back positive, and low carb is just ingrained into his daily habits – it's truly a lifestyle.

From a once self-confessed carb addict, his advice to those just starting out is that it will get easier. Just stick with it, if he did it, then so can you!

What benefits have you seen from going low carb?

Excellent explanation from The Carnivore Coach - Kym Bullen. It doesn’t matter how natural the sugar source is, it still impacts our hormones.

I definitely fell for this when trying to make healthy choices in the past.

I’m pretty sure that 2010-2020 was the decade of sugar deception, which saw many of us mums lovingly making bliss balls, fruit roll ups, yoghurt leathers, and all the ‘healthy’ snacks using things like….
🔴 raw sugar
🔴 dates
🔴 coconut blossom sugar
🔴 rapadura sugar…

Here’s the thing, though…
It all hits our blood glucose or liver with the same force as general table sugar.

I recently saw a recipe for diabetic chocolate mouse….
First ingredient… 70g raw sugar
2nd ingredient…. 70g dark chocolate
3rd ingredient… 2 Tbsp cocoa powder
Plus a few more things (eggs, cream cheese)
Then top with raspberries (more sugar).

Seems more like a recipe to CAUSE type 2 diabetes, or guarantee type 2 diabetes quickly gets worse. Certainly not a recipe to reverse it.

One of the first steps to kicking off weight loss momentum is understanding where sneaky sugars are hiding.

We all know that one small date bliss ball won’t cause weight GAIN, but its effect on your insulin hormone will be enough to stall weight LOSS. So the weight loss game no longer becomes about calories, but about manipulating metabolic hormones to our advantage through food choices.

Excellent little tip from The Ketogenic Nutritionist. If you have some recent blood tests calculate your triglycerides to HDL ratio to see how your metabolic health is.
