Quality Rules Quantity:

Better Food = Less Eating

November 19, 2002, Altadena, California - As portions have expanded, nutritional content has tanked. We keep eating more because there is less in it. The cravings you feel are for REAL food, not for more mere packing material. Quit counting calories, concentrate on quality and right quantity is a done deal. With all those who are overweight, the rising number of anorexics (now many men) and those who are at the right weight but with red flag cholesterol, there are very few folks eating in peace. The notion that humans can thrive by eating FOOD on planet Earth - without an exotic new pill - requires some rearranging in the dining room of our minds.

Fast food and convenient packaging have us thinking if it tastes good it’s bad for us, and if it’s healthy it tastes yucky. Transported unripe fruit, frozen, canned or cafeteria servings of remains of what was once a vegetable is responsible for food fallacies. Here’s new un-common knowledge: real, healthy food not only tastes better than engineered flavored fluff, you CAN get satisfaction – something unavailable in any quantity of empty food.

After a decade of studying what works in the long range, (98% of those who do manage to lose weight on any diet gain it all and often more in 2 years) Susan Ottevanger, author of Running On Premium Fuel spells out why “just eat less and move more” (first told to her by a plump doctor) and the Dietician’s Dogma of “everything in moderation” meet with resounding failure. Registered Dieticians have been saying sugar addiction is impossible, a myth, and it’s okay to have one cookie. Earth to RD’s – if that’s the ticket to health, there wouldn’t be an epidemic of overweight and diabetes. That there was no diabetes before refined sugar should be a clue that there is more to it than empty calories and cavities. All bets are that you can’t eat just one.

“Nobody overeats fresh fruits or vegetables. Measuring out restricted portions of produce is ridiculous, yet I hear R. D.’s telling frustrated clients that they’re not losing weight because they are snacking on too many baby carrots. Who can eat pounds of carrots a day? Who can do that and have a weight problem? No Body on Planet Diet. The problem is going from overeating to not eating enough of anything for the body to feel safe at burning what’s stored. Dieters stop losing, try eating less, workout more and get told they must be miscalculating, because 3,500 calories always equals a pound of fat, period. Not so! Stress has lowered metabolism into a “famine mode” that blows all the old equations away. Dieters keep checking their math, wonder if they are doing donuts in their sleep, start to suspect a mysterious disease, then give up.

Scary are those trying to lose fat and/or make muscle mass by devouring loads of meat. The body can only use a small bit of it, and the excess does NOT just leave quietly. Kidney stones start forming in 6 weeks. High protein dieters keep on eating huge quantities of food because they are not getting what they need – the goodies in quality carbs. White flour is a problem, not whole grains, plus eating what you can’t digest efficiently will make you overeat or turn you off to food. Blaming carbs is short sited. What “works” with high protein diets is you stop eating meat, which is digested with acids, with potatoes, which is digested by alkalis. Just let them take turns and bingo! There goes the heartburn as well.“
