The Third Secret and Other Healthy Lifestyle News!
A secret about healthy lifestyle news or any other news subject, was once assumed to be knowledge unknown to all but the few people directly involved. Today a secret is a headline published to the world, usually about a piece of gossip.
This is a story about a third secret, a very different kind of secret.

Why are Carbohydrate addicts Somebody else’s Meal Ticket?
What comes to mind when someone mentions the words carbohydrate addicts?
A low carb diet may come to mind. Maybe a low fat diet, or a complex carbohydrate diet. There are many choices and these days there are few people who haven’t experimented with at least one diet. There are even fewer people who realize they are already carbohydrate addicts.
Why do we diet? Obviously we want to lose weight, but by now it should be clear to anyone, that diets don’t work. They can’t, Mother Nature didn’t build us that way. That’s why today 60% of the population has a weight problem and most are carbohydrate addicts. Statistics say by 2020 this number will reach 80%.
So why do we still diet? People we trust and respect tell us that a diet is necessary to lose weight. They have even begun to tell us that a diet is critical for a strong healthy body. In the near future we will be told that a diet is necessary for our survival. The one thing we won’t be told is that we are carbohydrate addicts and shouldn’t diet at all!
Another thing these people don’t tell you and probably don’t know themselves is that diets are dangerous to our body. Our digestive system was not built for diets. In the fifties and sixties people did not diet. Diets were for sick people. Till that time – carbohydrate addicts didn’t exist. The only response your body has to a diet is to signal Famine!
That’s because a diet is a shortage of food and to your body that can only mean a famine. When a famine is over it’s your body’s job to recover all the weight you have lost. For added protection it will always add a little extra.
Ask yourself where does this plethora of expert diet information originate? Where is the scientific information - the research to prove that that these diets are safe for human consumption? Where are the research papers to confirm that human trials prove a particular diet is safe to use?
We are on a slippery path to self destruction. We are eating ourselves to death. Our future is morbid obesity and type2 diabetes. Both are likely to be fatal. We are becoming carbohydrate addicts at the fervent support and advice of self proclaimed experts who have a professional and or financial stake in our continued obsession with diets.
So here is where we are today: 60% of us are overweight and most of us are carbohydrate addicts. That means we have no control over our desire for carbohydrates foods. Everyone of us have dieted to lose weight, maybe several times. Yet each and every one of us is fatter today than before we began our first diet. Doesn’t that tell us something?
You are thinking: why believe me - Right? I don’t expect you to believe me. I just want you to use your common sense. Human beings have been around for thousands of years, without dieting and without weight problems.
Except for the last forty to fifty years, people have thrived and procreated without the advice or assistance of dietitians, nutritionists, diet experts, diet gurus, cereal and diet food manufacturers. In fact, anyone without a science or medical degree, who claims to know and understand your body.
Before you say: But all these people can’t be wrong! Let me point out that they depend entirely on the carbohydrate addicts need to find help with their weight problem. They are the ‘pushers’ of food. They are individuals and corporations, who profit from your addiction. Without you – the addict - there is no profit.
The reason there are so many profiteers, is that as long as carbohydrate addicts can remain un-recognized, there is no burden of law or regulations to stop them. There are so many of them – because it is so very profitable!

A close look at carbohydrate addicts!
Carbohydrate addicts are paying a big price for their lifestyle. Yet most don’t even know they are addicted, or what the ultimate price of addiction can be. They receive no recognition and even less information about a lifestyle that will turn them into obesity statistics and probably kill them.
Nobody hesitates to tell carbohydrate addicts to go on a low carb diet. Yet those same people wouldn’t dream of advising an alcoholic to stick to a couple of drinks, or a tobacco addict to just cut down on cigarettes. It’s a double standard that smacks of hypocrisy and self interest.
Obesity statistics continue to climb and fewer slim people appear in the malls every day. Nobody wants to acknowledge the truth. Take a good look around. Carbohydrates foods are slowly killing us. If that doesn’t get us, Type2 diabetes will. Yet the people who should warn us because they know better are getting ready to launch the next big diet.
Self proclaimed experts ask carbohydrate addicts to eat a particular food wisely, or to concentrate only on low carb foods. This is like asking a starving person to eat only orange food, or asking an alcoholic to have only one drink a day. It is unrealistic and can only further add to the confusion and despair suffered by the addict.
Carbohydrate addicts do not need a diet. What they need is a cure for their addiction. As long as the addiction prevails, there is no solution to a weight problem and the addict will continue to grow fatter.
The fact is, our body was not designed to diet. To the body it is perceived as a famine. The natural response to a famine is to slow down the metabolism and conserve fat. Once the famine is over, the body will recover the lost weight as soon as you let it.
Obesity statistics will continue to climb till it is realized that carbohydrate addicts must deal with their addiction before they can expect to deal with their weight problem. In fact, the addiction cure will take care of their weight problem.

The secret carbohydrate addicts epidemic!
Have you noticed how everyone seems to get fat
and end up carbohydrate addicts?
This is because of what we choose to eat, right?
YES AND NO! People who are carbohydrate addicts –
don't really have a choice.
It is very easy to join the 60% of the population who are already carbohydrate addicts.
Ask yourself this: - Does an alcoholic choose to have one drink and go? Can a nicotine addict stop smoking whenever they want? Do all those people clinging to a poker machine, stop playing when they lose their limit? No matter what the addiction – by definition: You Have Lost Control. Those who urge you to eat a low carb diet are the same kind of people who tell an alcoholic to stick to one drink.
You cannot stop the spread of carbohydrate addicts till they have been cured.
I don’t care what anybody else says; being fat is NOT ok. It might have been ok when there was no choice, but there is a choice. Carbohydrate addicts can be cured I’m living proof of that. All we have to do is recognize it and cure our addiction. You see, I can prove, what has caused not just me, but around 60% of everybody else to get fat and become carbohydrate addicts. I know the reason, I know when it started and I know who and what caused it. Carbohydrate addicts can be cured. Once you know how – you too can cure your carbohydrate addiction and lose the weight for good! First, let’s get one thing clear: This is not about a diet. I’m sure you know by now, diets don’t work. Why? - Your body won’t let them. That’s because our body was never designed to digest the carbohydrates foods we eat today, or to diet to lose the weight we gain as a consequence. Till 40 years ago, nobody would have dreamed of dieting. When you limit your food your body responds to famine. It panics and sends out a message to slow down and begin to store body fat. That's not the kind of FAT you eat. It’s the kind of fat your body manufactures. It comes from all those carbohydrates you eat – those you’ve not been able to burn off in energy. Your body converts all carbohydrates foods into glucose. That’s your body’s fuel. There are no ‘special’ carbohydrates that get ‘special’ treatment. What you do not use for energy is converted to fat and stored on your body. What you need to learn is: When you think FAT - you should think carbohydrate. Few people today spend nearly enough energy. When the carbohydrates you eat in a day – begin to exceed the energy you can spend - your body starts to grow fat. This is how people become FAT carbohydrate addicts on a low carb diet. Two things are important about that. 1. Your body can only burn the amount of glucose you spend on energy. 2. There is no option for your body to store glucose. It is forced to store it as body fat. In a famine/diet you will spend even less energy than usual. When the diet/famine is over, your body will do all it can to recover whatever weight you have lost. That’s Nature and it's why obesity statistics will continue to rise. Mother Nature always wins. It will even add a little extra fat for protection against the next famine. Are you beginning to get the picture? If you and your family are carbohydrate addicts, you can’t afford to do nothing. Obesity statistics tell us that at current trends, 80% of us will be fat by 2020. That’s just a decade away. Will you and your family be among them? In my book, The carbohydrate Addicts Manual, I will reveal everything. I’ll teach you exactly what to do, every step of the way. I will motivate you with information that will make you want to stick with it. If you follow the book, you WILL lose the weight and it WILL stay off – for good. Human beings were not meant to be fat. Mother Nature didn’t design us to be carbohydrate addicts. We broke the laws of nature by foolishly allowing untrained people to reverse our traditional diet. Don't reward them with yet another diet.

carbohydrate addicts! A Modern Myth?
<h1 style="text-align: center;">How did <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em><strong>carbohydrate addicts</strong></em></span></h1>
<h1 style="text-align: center;">come to be?</h1>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">The conditions for <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em><strong>carbohydrate addicts</strong></em></span></h2>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">were created forty years ago!</h2>
Call me a stickler, but I don’t want to see people get away with hurting other people, even if it's done unknowingly. Today’s diet is creating more <strong><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">carbohydrate addicts</span></em></strong> every day and the people who push it, knowingly or not, must be stopped.
If I say to you: “Do you realize that 40 -50 years ago, the vast majority of people were <strong><em>slim people</em></strong>”? You will probably flash to a thought like: “That’s a long time ago before we had fast food and people often went hungry in those days”. But you would be completely wrong.
You see, 40 – 50 years ago, in the western world it was the sixties and seventies, a time of excess and over indulgence. Even fast food, although a little different, was everywhere. Yet there was no sign of burgeoning <strong><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">obesity statistics</span></em></strong> and diets were considered for sick people.
Again, If I was to say: Historically, for the past 10,000 years, right up till 40 years ago, the human diet was made up of mostly protein. Would that surprise you? <strong><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;"> Carbohydrates foods</span></em></strong> held a very secondary place in our normal diet. You’ll probably think: Well, people didn’t live much past 30 -40 years in those days.
But you’d be wrong again. Even in biblical times people expected to live 3 scores and ten. That’s just 10 – 15 years less than we are expected to live today. Yet look at the amazing advances in medicines in just the last two decades.
For the Past 10,000 years, the only period when the human lifespan took a great leap backwards was the period between the collapse of the Roman Empire, and the early dawn of the industrial revolution. Much of that period was known as the dark ages – with good reason.
What separated people in the past from people today was the fact that till around forty years ago, most still maintained the traditional diet. This was a diet that was second nature. People didn’t count calories, or restrict their fat. They stuck mostly to <strong><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">foods with protein</span></em></strong>. They certainly didn’t think about dieting – they didn’t need to.
The trouble is we have all been trained in sound bites and instant responses. That’s why so much misleading, even false information thrives when it comes to<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em><strong> carbohydrates foods</strong></em></span> and the <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em><strong>carbohydrate addicts</strong></em></span> who suffer the consequences. It's hard to believe we live in the 21<sup>st</sup> century.
Perhaps you think it doesn’t really matter. But that’s until you realize that<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em><strong> carbohydrates foods</strong></em></span> affect your health right now and it will go on to threaten your children. You do not want to see your children become <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em><strong>carbohydrate addicts</strong></em></span> if they are not already affected!
Think about this for a moment: Forty years ago our diet was turned upside down by foolish, unqualified people who were seeking a niche on the fringe of medicine.
<h3 style="text-align: center;">That’s about the time we sowed the seeds</h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">for <strong><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">carbohydrate addicts</span></em></strong>.</h3>
How could we accept such a radical change to a diet our grandparents and their grandparents had treasured? It was easy. You see, we didn’t know the facts. We were duped to believe that our health and the health of our children depended on it. The reason? <strong><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">High cholestrol</span></em></strong>.
If you take a good look around today, you will see the results of that change. Just about everybody is getting fat. It has been happening, gradually, right under our noses for the best part of 40 years. Today about 60% of us are grossly overweight. Official <strong><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">obesity statistics</span></em></strong> tell us that by 2020, 80% will be affected. That is probably conservative.
Considering that <strong><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">type2 diabetes</span></em></strong> has now appeared and is fast affecting those of us with weight problems, it is a fair, but very scary guess, that if we follow this trend we might not even survive to 2050.
Yet, the same false dogma and presumed 'scientific' information continues to this day. The myth about what is good for people to eat still gets pushed at us by untrained people and plain old vested interests. Had the <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em><strong>carbohydrates foods</strong></em></span> we eat today, been possible even a couple of hundred years ago, we would probably be extinct by now.
How do they get away with it? - Nobody wants to rock the boat. Too many careers, professions, industries and corporations depend on an ever growing number of <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><em>carbohydrate addicts</em></strong></span>. They are not going to change their products and they are not going to allow governments to try and make them.
It is the tobacco addiction V the tobacco industry all over again.
So it’s all going to have to come back to the individual – to you. Only you can make the necessary changes that will prevent you and your family becoming <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em><strong>carbohydrate addicts</strong></em></span>.
What happens if you don’t? It’s a bit like climate change. We fix it or we suffer the consequences.
