Thread: Running Out of Time

I think the biggest problems for people when trying to keep weight off are 1) Not adjusting the diet to match age - eating the same stuff at 60 that you did at 30 wont work. 2) Eating fatty food. Eating fat makes you fat and reduces fitness because it reduces the ability of the cardiovascular system to circulate oxygenated blood around the body. People that eat a fat end up 'blowing' and running out of breath. Populations that have high dietary fat intakes die young despite the nonsense fad diets promoting animal fat and protein as energy sources
3) Insufficient mineral intake - from mineral depleted foods. This causes cravings and overeating
The longest lived and fittest populations in the world eat a diet based on complex carbs, fruit, veg, fermented foods and low in animal protein ( except yogurt and cheese from raw milk) and low fat. Their foods also have high mineral status.
Kumera is the best source of complex carbs we have in NZ and is also extremely low in Lectins. A meal of Kumera eaten with a combined raw veg and fruit salad is a very good base to start from
