Eating Fat to Get SLIM and be Healthy
We're disappointed that so many people we know, who were given good dietary advice chose to ignore it. Then two or three years later they tell us, "I've been on the 5:2 diet, and I've lost 5kg." That's a false dawn. If they had followed what Open Future Health told them three years previously they might have lost 20kg or more.
Every person chooses, and most people flatly reject the messages they need to hear. Of course, it's just a protective strategy, to avoid facing reality. They choose to "not knowing" even while they know quite well. The elephant is in the room, but they refuse to see it.
It's NEVER the fault of the individual who does this. The problem is in our society, in your family, in the social activities of your friends, in the building of shopping malls and products sold in coffee shops. Obesity is part of the environment; it's impossible to avoid. Look around, almost everyone has it. (Sometimes even thin people, have many of the problems associated with obesity, because even thin people eat the same rubbish diet, that most people eat.)
So we begin to improve our health by fixing the diet. The easy place to start is with breakfast. Bacon, eggs, some organ meat (Chicken lives on the plate shown), and if you quickly cook some cabbage, broccoli or kale in the same pan, it will taste delicious. Eliminate cereal and toast from your diet. (Take Out Diet.)
The illustration about fat and protein in the diet, explains why this changed style of eating works so well both for diabetes and for weight loss. There are a few little tricks to make it more effective, and those are all explained in the Open Future Health web site. The 5:2 diet principle, for instance, is very sensible. There are other ways to get even better results.
The third photo is a 43-year-old man named Jim, who went from being very fat, to running half marathons in two years. That's not exceptional, more the rule. Once people start eating a healthy diet, FIRST they lose weight, and LATER they want to exercise more. Quite the opposite of what you've been told for 50 years.
For almost all of us, if we can get our diet right, exercise will follow, and we can reduce our metabolic age by several years, in less than a year. You'll live longer, and be healthy all of your life, if you can get the formula right.
However, most people have a head full of dietary and health nonsense, that keeps them trapped, and unwell. Your doctor can't assist you very much. You own poor health knowledge will undermine you. Renew your health knowledge, and then start to ask your doctor better questions. Engage him/her in helping you develop good health, rather than just a lack of disease. There's a world of difference.

Buses can be a relaxing way to get home if you have a seat and enough space. However, it can be off-putting when someone is taking a phone call next to you.

Paddy Gower seeks ‘bloody great Cantab’
The Kiwi journalist drilling deep into the country’s biggest issues is on a mission to find the local greats.
Paddy Gower is looking for the Good Kiwi in every region to feature in his show, The F@#$ing News - Paddy Gower Live on Tour.
To nominate a Good Kiwi, email reporters@press.co.nz with the name and a description of why your nominee should win. You an also share the local issues you think Paddy needs to tackle in the comments below.
It could be the woman whose knitting circle has made 3800 items for victims of domestic violence, the guy running the length of Aotearoa for mental health, or the woman with terminal cancer who spends her time campaigning to raise awareness and save lives.
“Basically I am looking for ... a bloody great Cantab who just gets on and gets things done. The criteria is somebody who has a positive attitude and makes the community a better place," Gower said.
“I will give this person the 'Big Ups' they deserve, and the community can celebrate them with me.”
A Good Kiwi will feature in each of Gower’s live shows in 14 centres through November and December. He will name the Cantabrian Good Kiwi at his Christchurch show on the evening of Friday, November 22, at St Margaret’s College.
The F@#$ing News - Paddy Gower Live on Tour is a sort of book tour, sort of stand-up comedy, some journalistic yarns and memoir, and some motivational speaking - with a fair bit of local in each show.
Gower also wants to know about topics of interest in the region.
“I’m ... going to be taking on a big issue facing Canterbury and offering up solutions.”
A stinky suburb, a neighbourhood needing a round-about or a cathedral in disrepair - “I will make your views count”, he said.
“I'm touring the nation to spread positivity, optimism and good vibes.”
