So good to see so many people out running this morning.

Just a few tips from my long running career (I don’t run any more after two meniscus tears 😭).

Running is good for everything, yes everything (except weight loss).

Many will gain weight with aerobic exercise (remember a banana bread or pastry is about a 10km run at moderate pace to run off so have a coffee instead).

Get strong BEFORE you run (then you can skip all the physio visits).

Take time to do weighted squats, deadlifts, lunges etc at the gym with a good PT).

Run slowly. Smell the roses.

Run with a small group or partner (it is brilliant to improve mental health and join a community).

Learn to exercise on an empty stomach (reducing insulin with a low-carbohydrate diet will make this possible and I always test for this).

Laugh and talk whilst running 😎

You asked your broker to put you into blue chip shares….

Instead they put you into a penny-dreadful that tanked.

You’d be very cranky right?

Then why do we allow food companies, health ‘experts’ and influencers to get away with it?

And it’s up to someone like me to break the news that superfoods, special supplements, sleep and step-trackers are not blue-chip.

They are in fact infuriating distractions from what your body really wants you to do.

70% dark chocolate?

It’s a high carbohydrate food!

Just 100grams contains almost 9 teaspoons of sugar.

Hey, don’t shoot the messenger.

See it as a wake-up call to spin.

Chocolate is one of the reasons why your waist and weight isn’t budging, your blood sugars and cholesterol are still high, you’re fatigued and brain-fogged.

Carbohydrates cancels out the minuscule antioxidant effect (just like the overblown red wine claims).

It is such a busy world.

No one tells the truth anymore.

The key is finding contentment in activity, music, language, exercise, community, hobbies.

Contentment found in food and alcohol is one that will, and is already, making you sick.

Other BS?

That oats, bread, rice and cereal ‘are good for you’ (BS).

And bananas are high in potassium (more BS).

Start by reinstalling those BS antennas?

And make a ‘contentment sans food’ to-do list?

PS. The only lower-carb chocolate is 95% cocoa that is 2.5 teaspoons per 100gr but is also v high fat so either eat very sparingly or not at all.

Unlearning myths are the key.

It’s not about learning new ideas.

Realising this will help reduce your waist, and reduce your chances of developing diabetes, dementia and cancer.

“But we all eat them”.

Yep, that’s why obesity and diabetes rates are skyrocketing.

Oats have always been untouchable.

They have almost this religious-life fervour about them.

Run your finger down the nutrition 100gr panel and it jumps out.

They are far too unbalanced.

Their almost 60% carbohydrate load becomes glucose in seconds in the body.

100gr is equivalent to 14 teaspoons of sugar.

You thought they will help with diabetes, menopause, blood pressure, dementia, bowel and breast cancer?

Oats and breakfast cereal worsen these.

It’s not being contrarian for the sake of it.

It’s being one of the 20%, whilst 80% struggle with health issues.

I used to be in the 80% camp until I went lower-carbohydrate almost 15 years ago.

Join the 20% for better health.

Join the minority and thrive.

So many voices and so little to say….

I hear you.

Everyone is an expert in the nutrition field.

Would you take financial or legal advice from your chiropractor or influencer?

Then why you take advice on your most important asset, your health 🤷

Seriously.

The second thing to ask is for how long have they been treating patients.

The third?

Do they walk the talk.

Would you take mechanical advice from a mechanic whose car has broken down?

Why then do we take advice from an influencer who’s never had kids, never had a long relationship, never had challenges in their life, never held a job for 20 years or who’s got nil realistic life experience?

Seriously.

Can we stop?

Too many spivs talk about the “1 per centers”.

Like a food contains a bit of vegetable oil, an additive, or a pinch of gluten etc.

Please.

Your digestion is being fried by foods that are the “80 per centers”.

The mountains of bread, cereal, rice thins, popcorn, biscuits, potato, fruit, alcohol and pasta you have eaten every day for decades.

It’s these foods that turn to sugar in seconds in your body and punch holes in you brain, intestines, arteries, bone and joints and turn them to Swiss cheese.

They also make you d***y, fat, sore, irritated and tired.

A great rule of thumb is look at the per 100gram label, and look at the carbohydrate level.

Ideally look for a product that has a 10g or less carbohydrates.

Now this jerky is an excellent source of protein and fatty acids but have a look at the carbohydrate level. It’s too high, but I’ve seen worse.

This will irritate the gut, brain, joints, cholesterol etc.

So stop blaming the meat for what the sugar is doing!

Better quality jerky and biltong will contain about 6g of carbohydrate and you’ll pay an extra couple of dollars but it is worth it.

Why?

You’ll get better and live longer for a start!

Is that incentive-enough 😕😉

Now this is progress.

Just around the corner from me.

Finally.

This takeaway IS high-protein AND low-carbohydrate.

Wow.

Truth in advertising.

Hopefully are leading the low-carbohydrate tide.

What has made us obese, diabetic, demented, sore, heart-diseased and exhausted is not the fat nor protein nor meat in food.

Disease, diabetes and obesity has been driven by the high-carbohydrates in food that irritates, inflames and is converted to fat and stored over decades.

Now just don’t muck it up and order the soft drink, fries, or dessert 😝

Unlearning myths are the key to getting better.

One of the biggest?

Exercise….

Exercise is good for EVERYTHING…

Yes, everything…except…

….for fat loss.

Understand this, and you are more of an expert than your personal trainer, GP, exercise physiologist, endocrinologist, dietitian and diabetes educator.

98% of fat loss?

Comes from dietary change NOT exercise.

Or….

98% of fat loss occurs in the kitchen NOT the gym.

Dozens of modern studies have confirmed this, but the myth lives on.

See this as a relief.

Start enjoying exercise again.

Do it to build muscle and strengthen bone.

Do it with others and your dog, as it’s wonderful for community, mental health, Vitamin D/ sunshine, and getting out and about.

It’s brilliant to reduce stress, improve mental health, blood pressure and improve circulation and sleep.

But it is not something to do for fat loss.

Unlearning myths will unshackle you from the barriers to getting better.

More health-washing 🤯

This isn’t low-carbohydrate 😓

One bowl is equivalent to almost 6 teaspoons of sugar.

100g is equivalent to more than 10 teaspoons.

Yes, it is frustrating.

Every cardboard packet is saying they are high protein and low carbohydrate when they aren’t.

The key is to always look at the 100g column and aim for a product at 10g or less total carbohydrate.

The best option for ‘cereal’ is to make your own from nuts and seeds and add protein powder.

They are a junk food company.

Carmen’s.

A classic ‘health-washing company’.

A bowl of this junk is 6 teaspoons equivalent of sugar.

100g is 13 teaspoons equivalent.

I had two patients yesterday who had been eating this for breakfast.

One was struggling to lose weight, the other had significant gut issues and uncontrolled blood sugars.

Breakfast cereal is the reason so many patients gain weight, can’t lose weight, and are prescribed diet drugs.

Sadly, your GP/endocrinologist who has prescribed the GLP-1 agonist and the dietitian who the GP sent you to for dietary advice?

Are also eating this junk for brekky (and are probably also taking a diet medicine!)

The good news?

You are now more of an ‘expert’ than your GP/specialist and/or dietitian 😉🙌

Have a look at the health professional in front of you.

Do they look and sound like the person you want to be?

Are you funding their business/lifestyle whilst you perpetually remain unwell?

Do they have the training to be able to offer that advice or supplement?

Are they empowering you to make change or are they making you reliant on them?

Have they been giving you the same advice for ages and you still feel lost?

Are you concerned more about your private health/Medicare rebate than getting better?

Are you prepared to be challenged and really change?

Are you prepared to stand naked in front of a mirror and say to your body, “I’m going to put you first for the first time in my life, as time to change is running out”

Are you prepared to stand up to your very fickle and scrambled brain and tell it “no more”! “You brain, have been sabotaging my body’s health for decades, and it stops here”.

We get one life.

We get one body.

There is no life without a healthy body.

The health map you’ve followed for decades was incorrectly drafted almost 100 years ago.

You are lost and it shows.

How many of you want the right health map for the most important decades ahead?

Please stop!

If your health practitioner has sold you or advised you to take collagen and/or creatine….🤔

Maybe re-think that advice.

Collagen is definitely not needed.

I call it an ‘penthouse nutrient’, over-priced and not needed unless you like wasting money.

If needed, I advise my patients to take a supplement that boosts collagen, and is one of the most powerful and deficient antioxidants in the body and…

It is cheap as chips.

As for creatine, it may be useful in very specific cases, and in very small studies may boost brain function.

But what is the number one superfood that contains large amounts of creatine that should anchor your diet as it leads to huge health improvements? 👀

Please stop buying the most spruiked nutrient of the month that is pushed by chemists, chiropractors and many therapists who are literally draining your bank account.

You wouldn’t let your mechanic, solicitor, accountant, builder, plumber etc get away with it, so why do we let ourselves be ‘had’ by so many health therapists?

I ask all my patients to bring in their supplements for evaluation and many bring in shopping bags and boxes filled to the brim.

Please keep bringing them in, but re-think that next ‘penthouse nutrient’ and maybe re-think that therapist.
