Natural Nutrition - Low Carb

Designed to balance the hormones, enhance energy, burn fat and maintain or increase lean muscle tissue.

For 99% of the time we have been on the planet we have lived on a natural diet. It is only the last 0.2% of the time we have moved to an unnatural diet. Since then more and more people are become out of shape (60% of people in Europe are overweight) and health problems are increasing. By switching back to a more natural diet and avoiding the processed foods that cause these problems you can bring your health back into balance allowing you to get into shape and improve your health.

Burning Fat for Energy

On an unnatural diet our main source of energy is sugar. Many foods we consume are 'high glycemic' which means they convert to sugar at a fast rate. On the natural diet we can use fat more readily for energy.
Meats - Best: lamb, beef, duck, and pork. Avoid: Chicken, very lean cuts of meat

Fish - Best: salmon, mackerel, herring, sardines. Avoid: white fish

Vegetables - Best: green vegetables. Avoid: potatoes.

Dairy - Best: cream cheese, double cream. Avoid: milk.

Drinks - Best: water, herbal tea. Avoid: soft drinks, beer.

Researchers from Yale recently conducted a study showing that eating eggs every day does NOT increase levels of bad cholesterol in the blood.

Animal Fats contain many nutrients that protect against cancer and heart disease; elevated rates of cancer and heart disease are associated with consumption of large amounts of vegetable oils.

Margarine eaters have TWICE the rate of heart disease as butter eaters.

A low card natural diet relies on the burning of energy from fats and not from carbohydrates. The body can run just as well if not better on fat as it does on carbs. The side effect of a no carb diet is the low blood sugar, a low blood sugar means you don't feel hungry until you really do need more food. That craving you get for a sugar filled chocolate hit right after your meal is eliminated.

If you eliminate carbs altogether from your diet your body will enter into a state of ketosis. Ketosis is the natural state for the human body, primeval man who eats only meat. Energy is from fat and fat only. Muscle mass does not decrease because the blood sugar is too low to burn it. Any fat that is stored in the body is eliminated through potential energy.

To the general public losing weight means cutting out fatty foods and sticking to carbs. This could not be more incorrect. The older generations seem the most at risk as they eliminate not only fat but protein from their diet as well. 

Cutting out protein is the worst thing to do when your body is already losing its muscle mass from aging. Senior should be encouraged to eat more protein, as much as they can handle. Increasing muscle in old age could be the key to longevity.
