It’s the little things….

That make you sick.

These little sticks of ill-health pack a punch.

There’s almost 20 teaspoons of sugar in 100grams (just 9 wafers).

You’ll be rewarded with reflux, gout, diabetes, dementia, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, fatty liver, fatigue, and higher cancer, macular degeneration, and kidney disease risk.

All by snacking (in moderation) on these harmless sugar (lava) stick-bombs.

The key is finding a ‘snack replacement’: walking, push-ups, get to a gym session, search for a hobby/community/purpose (just start looking…)

Yep it’s true.

Milk contains more sugar than protein and fat.

A large latte coffee might contain up to 300ml of milk so about 4 teaspoons of sugar!

One large coffee five days a week is 20 teaspoons over many years adds up to a lot of sugar (and belly/liver fat).

It’s this sugar that’s making you fat, tired, sore, bloated, gassy and impossible to lose weight.

Enjoy your coffee but go for a piccolo latte or do what I do and order a long black with hot milk on the side then you control the milk content.

Knowledge is power and ignorance isn’t bliss (it’s illness).

Doing some refresher training at Royal Melbourne Hospital with the Australasian Metabolic Health Society.

Brilliant to see so many medical students here that will inform the next generation about the dangers of excess carbohydrates and carbohydrate intolerance.

One student said they barely get taught an hour on nutrition in a multi-year degree!

This is why your doctor is unaware of lower-carbohydrate changes.

For many, if it wasn’t taught at uni, it doesn’t matter.

Many of the patients I see are addicted….

Addicted to eating carbohydrates including alcohol…

They spike dopamine, serotonin and endorphins.

The poor old brain says ‘whatever you just ate or drank (potato, cereal, bread, fruit, pasta, rice, biscuits, beer etc)…

Never stop eating/drinkibg them.

To break this addiction?

To break this habit.

Start the search for something, anything that will improve your mood, give you purpose or link you to others.

Learn a language, an instrument, start lifting weights, sing in a choir, park-run, bush-walk, gardening, knit, join a club…

Start thinking…make a list…talk to a friend…

This is a wonderful story to fill the hole of grief and addiction (that doesn’t involve eating or drinking).

For many anglers, the practice of fly fishing is about much more than catching fish. For some in addiction recovery it can be therapeutic.

Being told ‘just have more fibre, fruit and vegetables, less meat and count your steps’!?

Will not stop bowel cancer.

It’s lazy advice.

What is irritating, inflaming, and preventing repair of the bowel (and anything made of protein in the body)?

Is years of excessive exposure to insulin and glucose (from over-consumption of carbohydrates).

Dementia, heart disease as well as cancer is occurring more in younger people.

And the ‘experts’ just shrug their shoulders.

They are being exposed to mountains of carbohydrate-heavy food before the age of 10.

Us older than 50, were exposed to this stuff in our 20’s or not at all.

I did laugh out loud 😆

My fortune cookie after an Asian meal.

It was a good reminder to keep going.

What is feeling younger for you?

When I dropped the rivers of carbohydrates (sugar) from my diet?

My brain-fog lifted, clarity, less pain, bloating disappeared…

…and I felt lighter on my feet-I just felt I could walk taller with less weight on my shoulders 🤷

You?

It’s not.

It’s BS and spin.

This rubbish is neither low-carb nor high protein.

Each hundred grams contains 11 teaspoons of sugar equivalent.

Eating this will keep you fat, sore, diabetic, bloated and sugar-addicted.

What is low-carb and high-protein?

Red meat, white meat, seafood, cheese, eggs and tofu.

The con is on.

And now it’s hiding in plain sight.

Food labelling (and the hugely flawed star rating system).

This confectionary is labeled ‘no added sugar’, and has virtually nothing in the sugar and carbohydrate panel.

Big food is getting around the law by calling corn and tapioca flour, ‘starch’. This ‘starch’ will send your blood sugar, weight, cholesterol, HbA1c, and inflammation to the moon and back.

They are then listing this starch, (that would have more impact than glucose on the body) as ‘dietary fibre’.

To cap off this con, it’s been given a 5-star health rating!

Another company called Funday Natural Sweets are using this loophole.

This is why we are hungry, addicted, diabetic, diseased, fat, sore, confused and taking diet injections 😓

Let me know if you’ve been mislead?

And you thought it was gluten stirring up your gut?

Or other plant chemicals like salicylates, oxalates and nitrates?

I posed this question to AI and this was the response….

That bloating, farting, irritable bowel, reflux, constipation, diarrhoea, diverticulitis, polyps, bowel cancer?

All from carbohydrates NOT animal protein.

And what do we do to ‘fix our gut’?

We pour more carbohydrates in (like somehow magical sourdough) and things get worse.

And the ‘experts’ tell you ‘more fibre, more wholegrains, more fruit and vegetables’.

When what your body wants is less plant food (that is fermenting in your gut).

The solution is 180 degree different from reality 😓

10/07/2026

Why are you so easily mislead?

We are told red meat is bad for us and bad for the environment.

And carbohydrates are ‘essential’.

The truth is 180 degrees opposite.
