About this ebook

Since I wrote "Why We Eat...and why we keep eating – the path to food independence", I have counseled hundreds of people through my website and in my private practice. I have been asked many questions not addressed in my original work. In addition, I have continued to do research and keep up with the very latest studies going on all over the world. I have compiled the results of all those interviews, consultations, reviews and research into this compendium. I wasn't sure what the content or format of the book would be when I began. But I never thought it would turn out to be almost a hundred pages longer than the original. It only confirms that the amount of nutritional information is continuing to increase at an exponential rate. The articles, and what I call tid-bits, compiled here are at the cutting edge of scientific awareness. I think you will be appreciative as well as amazed as to the diversity and depth of knowledge accumulated.

If you're ready to succeed; to lead the life you have dreamed of, to attain lasting health, then get ready. You failed because you relied on information that was decades old. You can and will succeed once you get on the right path; a path lined by the facts.

Jeffry Weiss

BIOGRAPHY Mr. Weiss attended Central High School, at the time recognized as the top High School academically in the U.S.  He then attended Drexel University where he gained a BS in History, Temple University where he earned an MA in Economics and the University of Pennsylvania where he received an MA in International Affairs.  Those studies provided him with unique insights in the realm of foreign policy, military capabilities, détente, and trade. He has been a writer for forty plus years and has penned hundreds of articles on social, political, and economic issues.  He has written position papers for the Carter and Clinton Administrations and his work on social issues has received recognition directly from the office of the President of México.  He speaks regularly with Noam Chomsky on political, economic, cultural, and military issues. Mr. Weiss writes political, military, economic and scientific thrillers.  There are now twelve books in the Paul Decker series.  All his stories come right off the front pages of the major magazines and newspapers but none of his plots has ever found their way into novel before.  His characters are ones readers can relate to: flawed, not superheroes.  His stories do not require a leap of faith or use deus ex machina. Finally, he has written a stage play, “Einstein at the Guten Zeiten (good times) Beer Garden, and an urban horror novel: “The Art of Theft”, a modern day version of “The Picture of Dorian Grey” by Oscar Wilde.

    ABOUT THE AUTHOR

    I attended Drexel University (B.S.), Temple University (M.B.A.) The University of Pennsylyania (M.A.), and Clayton College (Ph.D., Naturopathic Medicine) - where I gained unique insights in the realm of health and nutrition.

    In regard to obesity and diet, I have corresponded with the health ministries of Australia, Mexico, The United Kingdom, the new health director of he European Union, and the U.S. Secretary of Health And Human Services concerning my work in the field of nutrition.

    I have developed a food tax that he presented to appropriate members of the U.S. Senate, where it has received serious attention. I have created a statistical protocol that takes into account personal choices in determining appropriate individual costs for Medicare and Medicaid. These programs fall under an umbrella I have labeled Yested Interest and Economic Incentive.

    On an individual basis, I have counseled hundreds of people - working with ailments as diverse as obesity, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, CFS, ADD, Multiple Sclerosis, liver disease, numerous forms of cancer, and diabetes.

    I have adyised school districts on alternative methodologies in dealing with their lunch programs. I am on the board of directors for Insulite Labs: a leader in PCOS research and development.

    I have consulted with Markos Kyprianou, Health Commission for the European Union, which includes 6 countries with obesity rates higher than the U.S.

    My work on obesity has been recognized by the office of the President of Mexico and is being used to implement programs to combat obesity in that country.

    And now I have the opportuniTV to help millions of individuals who have failed over and over in their efforts to control their weight, and to this moment had all but giyen up hope.

    ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

    I would like to thank my parents for surrounding me with books at an early age, encouraging me to read, and explore, and to challenge conventional wisdom. To Tim Rea for his unwavering inspiration and direction. And to my brother, Michael Weiss, who has overcome adyersity far greater than I will ever be challenged by. His example led me to belieye in my work and myself when, at times, the effort seemed beyond my capabilities, and without whose loye this book would never have been completed.

    DISCLAIMER

    The information in this book is based on the latest scientific research. However, before you embark on your new path, consult of a qualified physician to ascertain your basic health. The best practitioners and the best programs are those that combine the knowledge of allopathic and naturopathic medicine.

    There are many well-meaning health care professionals working hard to assist people in their struggles with their weight and health issues. However, doctors, nurses, and dieticians, are trained in conventional medicine. This is the age of specificity: where people get paid more and more for knowing less and less. Diet, nutrition, and exercise all affect ones ability to overcome their weight issues. No one discipline will succeed in overcoming all the obstacles and attaining ones goals.

    THE SEYEN GREAT DIET MYTHS

    There's a lot of misinformation out there ... ready to sabotage your efforts to take the weight off and keep it off. I'm here to set the record straight and you can take that to the bank. We're going through this together - every step of the way. I'ye helped hundreds of people accomplish exactly what I'm going to walk you through here. It's not all your fault being overweight. Without the right info, it's impossible to get thin and stay thin. This book opens the door on a new chapter in your life ...

    #1 - Myth: Stay away from fats. Not all fats are bad for you. Fats are divided into three categories: saturated, monosaturated, and omega-3 fatty acids. The fats our ancestors ate were predominately omega-3 fatty acids from algae and fish, and monosaturated fat from seeds and nuts. The brain needs omega-3 fatty acids to function. The fats we eat are mostly saturated fats that do not proyide the brain with the needed source of energy, and also trigger an endorphin release that prolongs the eating process. The omega-3 fatty acids from fish are a rich source of peptides that cause the hormone leptin to be secreted. Leptin in the blood signals the brain that we are full and initiates a more rapid burning of calorie.

    About 150,000 years ago, the weather turned colder, forcing the last remnants of man off the African savanna and into the Rift yallev. There, he discovered a new source of food: shellfish found along the shores of the lakes. These shellfish consumed algae, which gaye them a high concentration of algae-rich fats - what we now know as omega-3 fatty acids. These fats accelerated the growth of the frontal cortex, the site of higher thinking in the brain. In just 10,000 years the size of man's brain increased by 50%. It was this development that led to modern man conquering the rest of the known world. And this is how it happened.

    The larger brain of homo sapiens use as much as three times the calories as is needed by other species. For example, in modern man, up to 25% of all calories go to brain function, whereas in the ape family, only 8% of calories fuel the brain. And only a dense diet - one centered around meat, fish, and nuts - proyided the needed calories. Those concentrated calories were, and are, found in good fats, like the omega-3 fatty acids, which proyide the elements necessary for more highly developed brains and better vision.

    The monosaturated fats in nuts, ayocado, and oliye oil fats that cause the release of the hormone cholecystokinin (CCK), which tells the brain to stop eating.

    When scientists varied the amount of fat in people's diets, they found that more fat (the good varieTV) made the test subjects feel better. In the study, 20 people ages 20 to 37 spent a month eating meals that contained 41%of their calories as fat, and then went another month consuming food where fat supplied 21% of their daily calories. When researchers gaye these men and women psychological tests for mood, they found that the higher-fat food resulted in more positive moods, more calm, and less anger and hostiliTV. Further, the group consuming more fat lost more weight and were less prone to bingeing.

    #2 - Myth: Animal protein is bad because it contains high levels of saturated fats.

    Protein may be either high or low in saturated fats. The protein we eat is high in saturated fat that triggers the release of endorphins and stimulates the body to continue eating. The meat our ancestors ate ayeraged 4%fat, not the 35% saturated fats in grain-fed cattle today. Wild game has between 1/3 and 1/7 the amount of saturated fats as domesticated animals.

    The lipid profile of free ranging cattle is predominately monosaturated fat (the good fats). The lip profile of grain-fed cattle is saturated fat (the bad fats). Free-ranging meats, along with low-fat white meats, Should be diet staples.

    Conclusion: Eat low-fat meat abundantly. Meat, and other protein, made up an ayerage of 35% of the calories consumed by our ancestors. Nutritionists today tell us to beware eating red meat. However, such blanket statements are rarely correct. Protein is an essential nutrient, needed to build muscle and repair tissue. Red meats contain substantial quantities of antioxidants to protect against cholesterol. Free-ranging organically fed cattle, bison, elk, etc., are now available in stores throughout the country.

    #3 - Myth: The more fruit, the better. Our ancestors ate fruit only in season, not all year round. And the fruit they ate had not been altered by hybridization to have far more sugar and far less fiber than our present fare. Fruit should be limited to in season - and must be eaten separately from all other foods (due to the different digestive enzymes released) - something that is rarely the case in our socieTV.

    Fruits contain fructose - a form of sugar that triggers the release of insulin in the digestive process. Some fruits, like ayocados, blackberries, boysenberries, guava, papava, pears, and raspberries, contain fiye times the amount of fiber in other fruits, and therefore do not set off an insulin reaction. Limit fruits, especially during the weight loss period.

    Most fruit is not grown in their own root system, but hydroponically. This means the fruit is not absorbing the nutrients from the soil as they did for millennia. Unless it's organically grown in its own root system, you are eating a sugar ball with little nutrients. When you eat a food devoid of nutrients, your body must use its store of nutrients to break down the food which would then not be available for other yital needs.

    #4 - Myth: Eat all the vegetables you can. Vegetables are our primary source of energy for the body. The body requires a continual intake of carbohydrates to feed the brain. But any carb not immediately used by the body is stored in the form of glycogen in the liver or the muscles. The body can only store about 300 grams of carb in the muscles and 60-90 grams in the liver. Excess carbohydrates are converted to fat. As Barry Sears, author of The Zone books has said, Eyen though carbs are themselves fat-free, excess carbs end up as excess fat!

    Another concern is the pesticides used in the growing process. Stick to organically grown fruits and vegetables. Also be aware that vegetable juice is not the same as eating vegetables. Juicing removes the fiber from the carbohydrate, meaning that the carb enters the bloodstream like a sugar, causing an insulin spike and triggering the appetite center in the hypothalamus. The conclusion: nothing in abundance.

    #5 - Myth: A few drinks of alcohol a day are good for your health. Moderate alcohol use does not enhance health. As far as the body is concerned, alcohol s a poison. Alcohol damages the brain, liver, pancreas, duodenum, and central nervous system. This is why alcohol is so very addictive - because it triggers the release of endorphins in many areas of the body at once. Alcohol causes metabolic damage to every cell in the body and depresses the immune system.

    People are healthy in spite of alcohol, not because of it. Studies that indicate moderate drinking reduces certain risks of heart attack, cardioyascular disease, etc., are flawed. The fact is that people who drink in moderation do other things in moderation. They eat in moderation, exercise, used reasoned judgment, act prudently, go to doctors more often, have greater disposable income, consume less processed foods, etc. There is no way to factor out those components independently of other considerations. Yet recent studies draw conclusions in spite of those factors.

    Alcohol affects each person differently. But the negative effects of alcohol may be seen in a person drinking only two drinks per day. Yes, it takes years for the consequences of excessive drinking to become dominant, but alcohol may shorten life span by ten to fifteen years or more, to say nothing about the reduction in quality of life when other productive actiyities are reduced.

    Recently, several studies of the link alcohol and breast cancer have been published, generating discussion in the press about whether a woman who drinks is increasing her risk. The new studies have indeed pointed to a link, though until recently it was unclear exactly how this may be. Then, last year, a study published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute showed that when pre-menopausal women drank about one ounce of pure alcohol daily (the amount in two ayerage drinks), they had higher levels of estrogen in their blood and urine than when they did not drink. The women were on the same diet throughout the study. This finding suggested an explanation (increased production of estrogen) for the possible link between alcohol and breast cancer. Another highly publicized study, conducted in Spain of 762 women with breast cancer, showed that eyen moderate alcohol intake was associated with a 50% increase in risk for breast cancer-a figure hard for women to ignore.

    Eyen in small amounts, alcohol will destroy folic acid, B6, and B12. That makes the body more susceptible to homocysteine, which is a greater
