A food tip to survive the day….

22/02/2026

This is why we get sick, tired, fat, heart-diseased, cancerous and diabetic.

Our bodies have been whacked by a tsunami of carbohydrates for decades, whilst we thought it was the fat and meat making us sick.

The perfect example is maddingly addictive, seemingly harmless pork-bun 🥹

It’s the classic example of a carb ‘hand gr***de’ that we think is harmless but which creates so much havoc in the body.

They are virtually nil fat (and nil meat), and moderate protein, but each bun (carb gr***de) is almost 6 teaspoons of sugar!!

Blood sugars and insulin go to the moon (and back), cholesterol and triglycerides worsen, fatty liver worsens, reflux, bloating, loose stool, gout, inflammation, fatigue, getting fat etc.

And all you’ve had have been a few harmless pork buns.

But times that by every week, by every year, by every decade starting from a teenager?

This is why bowel cancer, heart disease, dementia, diabetes, dementia etc are occurring more in younger people.

Throw in the pastries, popcorn, fries, the burgers, beer, tacos, popcorn, pretzels, the bubble tea, soft drink, bagels, ice cream, pizza etc.

All this food is very high carbohydrate and actually low in fat.

If we can boost protein and fat with ‘real food’, (meat, eggs, dairy, seafood etc) that improves satiety, we can aim to ‘crowd out’ this high-carbohydrate junk/highly processed rubbish.

It’s the slow-drip of eating carbohydrates ‘in moderation’ over many years that is making us sick and fat.

Want to change something, anything, to make you feel better?

Here’s a tip….

Get the health basics right first before looking for ‘penthouse’ solutions….

And you thought you were eating chicken!?

And you were wondering why you aren’t getting enough protein in your diet and are always hungry?

These chicken tenders are only 10% protein. Pure chicken is around 25% protein!

See the 22.2g carbohydrates in the 100g column?

That’s almost 6 teaspoons of sugar per 100g!

It’s all filler and is making you sick, fat, bloated and diabetic.

The breast fillets are much better but more expensive.

See the higher protein and lower carbohydrate content per 100g.

It’s still full of filler but will fill you up with protein rather than rubbish.

A good guide is always look at the 100g table.

Carbohydrates should be less than 10g.

Protein should be close to 25g (as this is the rough protein content of red meat, chicken, fish).

Yes, higher protein will be more expensive but it means you are getting real food and less cheap filler.

Protein (amino acids) are key components of bone, skin, repair, hormones, enzymes, repair.

They are also satiating and will stabilise blood sugars so may free you from constant snacking.

Yep, it’s tiring reading labels, but don’t be conned by the marketing.

You went to IKEA….

You grabbed your flatpack.

But the enclosed instructions were wrong.

Frustration but realisation.

It was their fault, not yours.

You return it and try again.

You’ll double-check next time.

This thing will get built despite the hiccup.

Diet/food/nutrition?

We sort of had the right instruction manual pre-WW2.

Post-war until now?

Defo the wrong instructions AND instructors.

I have the right instructions to help you ‘get better’.

Please remember, it’s them not you.

You have not tried everything.

Yes, it’s like diet gaslighting.

A timely message of support for those hundreds of thousands of Australians already taking, or who are contemplating taking, either injectable or oral weight-loss medicines

Who’s going to admit it?

How many of you were conned into thinking that red meat was causing climate change and the worsening air pollution?

The greatest polluters are the petroleum companies, so reconsider your travel and energy use if you want cleaner air

How many actually reduced their red meat intake because of this myth?

And maybe worsened their health in the process?

Please look past the myths when it comes to diet and health.

It’s hard enough staying healthy in this social-media-mad world without being conned by myths.

The truth is red meat, eggs and animal protein are essential to good health.

Animal protein is the one true superfood.

Just start reintroducing slowly.

Start with lean cuts.

Yes, you can cut the fat off and you don’t need to eat mountains of bacon and butter.

Protein, not fat is the key to good health.

Make an appointment to get healthy the right way, for the long-term.

Critics accuse leading firms of sabotaging climate action but say data increasingly being used to hold them to account

Don't get caught in the great low-carbohydrate con!

11/01/2026

The old ‘food pyramid’ has caused so much damage.

It prioritised a high-carbohydrate diet whilst demonising red meat, eggs, dairy and quality proteins.

It encapsulates the reason we are the fattest, most diabetic, most muscle-poor and most diseased generation, ever.

It’s the reason so many people have been forced to rely on weight-reduction injections.

It’s highlighted the redundancy of 99% of the dietetic profession (who continue to embrace the ‘old’ pyramid).

This new pyramid is long overdue.

Yes.

It is shame that it been introduced by such a divisive figure, RFK Jr, a member of such a divisive US Government.

But it prioritises animal protein whilst cautioning the intake of carbohydrates.

The main message is we DON’T need mountains of butter, bacon, coconut oil, fats/oil in our diet.

These are NOT whole foods.

We need to prioritise animal protein in three protein-rich meals every day. This will ‘crowd-out’ the need for cereals, carbohydrates and snack-foods.

Here’s my initial take:

Well are they?

No, not really.

I get asked this question daily.

"Are oats good for me"?

It's like asking your financial advisor for blue-chip shares and being put into something highly speculative.

You wouldn't be happy, right?

So why do dietitians and so called 'experts' push what is a very unbalanced food that somehow has got a halo-effect.

Have a listen and I'll explain.
