It is 2016 and I think it is time for "Nutritionists and Dietitians " you know the ones that have a piece of paper that says that they know what they are talking about, but they are so out dated it is not funny, actually it is infuriating, you probably know what I am banging on about here, but if you don't, "SATURATED FATS" so many of these so called dietitians are slowly getting on the "Sugar is bad" wagon but they are still sending out warnings about Saturated fats, even going so far as to recommend choosing products with "polyunsaturates" instead! do they even know that "Vegetable oils, Canola oils, seed oils..." are man made oils and think about it you don't get oil from vegetables so do yourself a favour, if you still think that having Canola oil is good for your cholesterol then read David Gillespie's book "Toxic Oil" if you haven't read any of David's books you are missing out, because this bloke doesn't wave any bits of paper around saying he knows all, he is just like you and me, had health and weight problems and did some research off his own back to fix his problems and then wrote about it, and frankly I would rather listen to someone like David, than a so called Nutritionist or Dietitian who is paid by the companies flogging the Toxic Oils or Sugar laden products.
This is what got me stirred up this morning... An article on Joe Cross's "Reboot with Joe" website was about reading labels. and it was by this person... Isabel Smith, MS, RD, CDN (see all the letters there? that means she has several pieces of paper) Isabel is a Registered Dietitian, wellness expert and fitness coach. Isabel has her own nutrition and wellness practice based in New York City, Isabel Smith Nutrition, but she works with clients and corporations both nationwide and worldwide, There was more about how great she is, but the underline how she works with corporations, tells me that she is paid by the companies flogging the processed crap. I don't disagree with everything she says of course, she does say that you should eat more food without labels, that I do agree on! The main thing that got me stirred up was her advice about Saturated Fat and of course Sugar! she makes an attempt to appear to know something about the dangers of sugar but still has the "mentality that natural sugar is better than cane sugar" this of course is not true, the basic thing you need to know (and don't need the piece of paper to understand this) "FRUCTOSE" is the deadly part of sugar it is sugar in it's own right and it is in Fruit which is natural! it is in Honey which is natural! and she seems to think that apple puree would be better than cane sugar "WRONG WRONG WRONG"! here is her advice... Fat: Fat won’t make you fat, but you want to look at the label and find products with the least amount of trans and saturated fats. On the label look for the type of fat to be from mono and polyunsaturated fats when able (the label will list this); these are the heart-healthier fats. The first statement is true! Fat won't make you fat, polyunsaturated fats are NOT heart healthier! and she shouldn't use trans fats and Saturated fats in the same sentence, trans are bad, Saturated fats are Not! Sugar: Sugar is in the spotlight in the latest iteration of the dietary guidelines, and as mentioned above, there are many ingredients that food companies can sneak sugar into the food we eat. When it comes to sugar, what’s important is to both read the ingredients label to find out where the sugar is coming from (for example, apple puree versus cane sugar), but overall it’s key to find the products with the least amount of added sugar. Overall, it is now recommended that Americans eat less than 12 teaspoons of added sugars daily (this excludes sugar from natural sources like fruit!). I mentioned before how she is wrong about the apple puree, the recommended 12 tsps is 36gms of sugar that is way too much sugar especially if you are not including your daily fruit intake which you should. I followed Joe's advice when doing my Juice fast, and I kept to the rule 80% vegetable to 20% fruit when making my juices, and I got the results I wanted, I still follow Joe Cross on Facebook and Instagram, but I don't have any faith in the team of Dietitians and Nutritionists he has on his website. I also think if the recipe is good don't alter the ingredients, this is a Metaphor for all those wanting the results of the Juice fast (particularly the 80-20 veg to fruit fast) but wanting to blend (Nutrient Infusion) 90% fruit very little vegetable and bulk up with almond milk or coconut water, I do think that, however you get more fresh fruit and vegetable into your body is a good thing, and I am not a vegetarian, but I also feel if you want to get healthy and lose the weight that is keeping you sick, don't alter the recipe, follow the rules and you too will have success. Two things that have really started to annoy me lately is people saying that they are sugar free! when in actual fact they mean they don't add sugar to their cereal or tea and coffee and have given up drinking coke. The other is they think they are getting healthy juicing but they are actually filling up on fruit filled smoothies and saying that it doesn't work they are gaining weight??? Just to give you an idea of how different the "Nutrient Infusion" blending is to the Vegetable juice fasting, a recipe for (fatty liver, Acid Reflux and Skin irritation) makes 1 serve 1 cup of mango 1 cup of paw paw 1 cup of pineapple 1/2 lime 1 cup of water that is basically just 3 and 1/2 cups of fruit and high "Fructose" fruit at that! Triple C: this is an example of a juice using the 80-20 and is good for... Heart disease, high cholesterol, cancer, arthritis, vision, immunity, GI, liver, menstrual/PMS/menopause/PCOS gallbladder. makes 2 serves — ¼ head green cabbage — 3 carrots — 4 ribs/stalks celery — 1 green apple — 1 lemon So even though I know a lot of people would prefer the sweeter fruit infusion, I would honestly prefer the Triple C I would rather know I was filling my body with nutrients rather than sugar! well that is all I have to say for now.
