If you don’t eat animal protein?

If you don’t eat enough protein?

You will be hungry and your blood sugars will be on a roller coaster.

So your brain will override any ‘health logic’ and will force you to eat junk food.

Simply because you are hungry and deficient in protein and nutrients.

Dietitians, diabetes companies, anti-meat vegetarians/vegans and Mormons have done SO much damage in this area.

Their message that animal protein, especially red meat is ‘bad for you’ has forced us into the arms of junk food.

To get better?

Start embracing a higher meat, higher protein, lower carbohydrate diet and get off the junk food rollercoaster.

Your life depends on it.

Building muscle, strength and a lower carbohydrate diet?

Is wasted on the youth 😆

The fountain of youth is…

Pairing lifting weights with a lower-carbohydrate diet.

I can help.

There is new killer in town.

And it’s up to us to either die slowly in poor health or die on our terms.

Uplifting stuff I know.

Dementia is now our biggest killer.

It’s taken over the mantle from cardiovascular disease.

You might say that we are living longer…but dementia is occurring more often (like bowel cancer and heart attacks) in younger people.

And air pollution is now the 3rd biggest cause of CVD (behind high blood pressure and diet).

Firstly dementia.

Our brains is a very hot organ as is used a great deal of energy.

If you eat a high carbohydrate diet, it is constantly bathed in insulin and glucose that heats it up like a nuclear reactor.

Cooling brain foods are proteins and fats or slow-burning foods.

High blood pressure still is the world’s number one killer as too much glucose and insulin (from high carbohydrate diets) flow through, irritate and constrict our arteries.

Finally, reducing the impact of air pollution (from transport, construction and oil and gas mining) can be minimised by a couple of very inexpensive nutrients (as well as a lower carb diet).

I love this one supplement as it is so powerful but is so inexpensive.

But it has one catch.

Vitamin C needs to be taken in small, consistent doses that many find tiring.

The payoff is artery, brain, liver, lung, prostate, o***y, skin and cholesterol protection.

Me?

I’ve been taking Vitamin C (the right way) for more than 10 years.

I can chat to you more about it when you see me at my new practice in 2026.

Yer….nah.

The stupidity of an influencer….

Basing his diet on a musical 🙄

Animal protein is the number one thing to include in your diet for optimal health as we age.

I abhor animal cruelty.

So I prioritise sourcing local produce from local farmers who love their animals.

For the record?

I like Jeff as an actor but not someone I’ll take nutrition advice from.

We are told from a very young age.

Fruit is good and chocolate is bad.

One will:

Worsen your blood pressure,
Increase fatty infiltrates in your already fatty liver,
Worsen your LDL cholesterol,
Worsen gout and reflux,
Cause gut upset
Increase fat gain around your middle
Worsen diabetes and CVD risk.

And that’s just the fruit!

Fruit is sugar and water with minimal fibre, a pinch of antioxidants, and drenched with pesticide residue

The key to ‘get better’?

Start relearning what is fact and what is spin/marketing or decades-old poor science.

Depending on your current blood tests, I can tell you if fruit is going to worsen (not improve) your current symptoms.

If you hear this?

Your health is in real trouble.

“Just eat in moderation” or….

“Just eat a balanced diet and you’ll be right”.

The majority?

Are eating a diet that is 80% carbohydrate.

Cereal, bread, fruit, rice, pasta and snacks.

Your diet is 80% sugar!

So eating this very poor ‘moderate or balanced’ diet?

Will keep/make you sick.

You need to move to eating ‘slow food’ not fast food (carbohydrates).

This is something not worth celebrating.

I get it, I really do.

But…

It’s the biggest mistake you can make for both your health, and the planet.

And it’s lining the pockets of the already rich.

For many younger patients, it’s about making a stance and I understand that.

They feel disenfranchised and traumatised and unheard.

I equate going vegan to marching against the Vietnam war in the ‘60 (that I think had a positive outcome unlike veganism).

I think it’s both tragic and ironic that hands-down the most nutritious food we can eat today is the most demonised.

Red meat (and animal products like eggs, seafood, organ meat and chicken/turkey).

How did the diet dinosaurs get this 180 degrees wrong?

Religion and poor science.

Seventh-day Adventists or Mormons basically formed the first dietetics association in the US and the aussies based the Dietitians Association of Australia on this.

Hello Sanitarium and Kelloggs (multi-billion dollar quasi-religious groups) that pushed cereal and a plant-based diet and demonised red meat.

And scientists from the mid-1940’s to 60’s thought what was causing heart attacks and heart disease was fat/red meat.

It was in fact ci******es (everyone smoked back then) and the rising tide of soft drink, snacks, cereal and carbohydrates) that exploded post-WW2.

For the record?

I’m an agnostic omnivore.

And seriously?

Ask your health practitioner if they are vegan/vegetarian or if their diet beliefs are skewing the diet advice they are giving you.

You would be floored by how many vegan/vegetarian there are, and how many vegan researchers there are publishing biased papers without disclosing a religious or dietary belief!

Another tragedy are that humans, especially women and kids need MORE not less red meat in their diet.

It is and will always be the only superfood we have (along with organ meat, eggs and seafood).

A vegan and vegetarian diet is deficient in multiple minerals, vitamins, amino acids, and fatty acids.

As for climate change?

All cause greenhouse gases from ALL agriculture is 15%.

The other 85% is from transport, construction, oil and gas and waste.

So if you want to save the planet?

Ditch those new clothes, new phone, car, next cruise or flight.

And start catching a bus or train.

Finally…

An article on fasting not written by a dietary dinosaur (most dietitians).

And funnily enough, a positive article.

And yep I do admit…

Many feel overwhelmed when they hear the ‘f’ word.

I hear you.

I’m still challenged by it, but that’s a positive NOT a negative.

Think about it like the first time you went to the movies, or a play or concert.

There’s some fear and apprehension right?

That’s perfectly normal. It’s your body protecting you.

The same thing with fasting. It’s a mental and physical challenge.

But the benefits?

Without exaggeration?

They are 100 fold.

I think it beats exercise, dieting, counting calories etc hands down.

For your body?

It’s like your body is a car engine just stuck on idle for decades, and finally, someone turned off the engine and allowed it to cool down and repair.

But!

A little planning and tips can make a huge difference.

Like using salt the right way whilst you fast is a game-changer.

In the new year, I’ll be running a fasting class so stay tuned.

In the meantime, have a read of this great article.

I rarely….

I rarely point to diets of the rich and famous.

And influencers?

Nope, never.

But the Boss?

He can’t be bought…he keeps his feet on the ground and walks the talk.

If there is one thing you can take from the Boss that I 100% agree with…

Weight-loss and staying lean?

Is 90 (even up to 95%) diet related.

Moving more DOES NOT burn fat nor help with fat loss.

Less eating leads to fat loss.

Can we repeat this together 50 times or hum it to Born to Run!?

Please don’t ever forget this fact.

Diet is 90%.

Pilates, yoga, running, spin…meh.

You’ll need a second-mortgage but they won’t burn fat.

Don’t see this fact as frustrating.

See it as enlightening.

Why.

Because you, I, and the Boss are ‘one per centers’.

We now know what is fact and fiction.

In this conflicted health game?

Be the minority.

So keep working on the basics.

Work on two to three meals a day with no snacking.

Build muscle, don’t pound the pavement (a slow run or walk is great for mental health).

Take a break from eating (call it fasting if you like). It’s like turning off the body’s engine..and your body loves you for it!

Stress will sabotage everything to do with diet so work on that first.

Find something you love….or used to love….language, painting, music, choir, bushwalking, volunteering….just start looking….

Unhappy emotions are like stress…it’s almost impossible to get well if you are constantly angry, envious, lonely, bitter and not content.

Like drinking too often…getting better and alcohol?

It’s like oil and water.

Now….start humming fat-loss is 90% diet to a Boss song 🎸🎼

Wanted.

Patients that know fact from fiction.

Don’t get fooled by ‘protein-washing’

Saying junk food isn’t junk food by saying it’s high in protein?

Is fiction.

Bread (and cereal) is junk food.

It’s up to 80% carbohydrate.

It becomes sugar as soon as you start chewing it.

This is what is making you sick, fat and sore.

It is like a stone in your shoe.

It’s doing so much damage.

Yes, it is tough to change habits.

The first step?

Realise what is fact and what is fiction.

Apply within.
