This video is one in a series of videos and websites which are being posted on FreeRepublic in the coming days in regard to nutritional health. In the beginning these videos were being posted as a rebuttal to an article and comments in another posted article on FreeRepublic remarking on obesity. Due to the strong interest in obesity and nutritional health as it relates to Type II Diabetes, the videos relating to Type II diabetes and how to reverse the progression of the disease are being moved forward among the other video topics in this series. Expect to see a mixture of videos regarding the role of carbohydrates in the diet and their relationship to nutritional health topics ranging from metabolic syndrome and Diabetes to dementia, Parkinson's Disease, Altzheimer's Disease, and more. The effects of standard government sponsored diets, health association diets, and alternative diets upon everyday nutrition, sports nutrition, and diabetic nutrition will be mixed in with videos focused on the use of various low carbohydrate and high fat (LCHF) diets, such as the ketogenic diets as a treatment for Type II Diabetes.
Anyone who is interested in following this series of posts about nutritional health is invited to request a ping.

Olive Oil Makes You Sick?
“Olive Oil Makes You Sick?”
The title was the author’s teaser; wherein the author says olive oil is definitely healthy for you, but olive oil products are being adulterated with low grade lamp oil grades of olive oil and oils not derived from olives, such as soybean oil and worse.
I’ve been watching many of these videos and I got stuck watching episodes of ‘My 600 Pound Life’ on YouTube.
These people are in a desperate state. At 550-800 lbs, they’re literally dying. Many of them bedridden by the burden of their weight.
The *first* thing that the surgeon does is tell them that they have to lose 30-70 pounds (depending on the situation) and the way that he does that is by putting them on a NO sugar carb, moderate protein, moderate fat diet of about 800 calories a day to qualify for the surgery.
It’s pretty amazing to see people - people who have never been able to lose weight in their lives - drop 25-55 pounds in a month. And that’s before the surgery.
Once they get the surgery, they’ve got to continue this diet for life. The surgery makes hormonal changes and shrinks the stomach so that it’s easier for them to continue from there.
The ones who go on to eat carbs will fail. The ones who stick with the LC diet can drop 350-400 pounds in two years.
So when I - a middle aged woman with insulin resistance, thyroid dysfunction, and adrenal fatigue - need to lose weight (and it just will NOT come off if I eat 1200+ calories a day) - I have to look at these super obese and remind myself that they had to drop their caloric intake to about 800-1000 LC calories a day to accomplish that. Men and women.
There is NO talk about ‘starvation mode’. There is NO talk about how we ‘need’ carbs.
Why do the physicians who care for the super obese seem to know the rules of dieting, but NOBODY else does?
A friend’s father was dying of heart disease and needed a heart transplant. (This is after a multiple bypass and tons of stints) He was also overweight. His cardiologist threw him in the hospital and put him on a LC diet of 600 calories a day to prepare him for surgery and repair his blood lipid profile. His heart managed to (mostly) recover and it bought him an extra 15 years.
How did the cardiologist know to do this when so many physicians are clueless about LC diets?
I don’t understand how so many doctors seem to be ‘in the know’, but others will fight you tooth and nail if you even ask about LC. I don’t understand who came up with the ‘rule’ that 1200 calories is the ideal place to be to lose weight. (Even when I was young, healthy, and active, 1200 calories was what I ate to maintain in the 140’s. I know. I kept a food journal for 10 years.)
Much of the problem is traceable back to Ancel Keys and the influence he exercised with the help of the politicians, such as Senator George McGovern, to dictate medical and dietary policies. Those policies made it virtually impossible to obtain the grants necessary to conduct the medical studies supportive of low carbohydrate diets, destroyed the careers of even the most highly qualified scientists and medical experts opposing him and his supporters, and still threaten the medical licenses and legal liabilities of any healthcare professional who wishes to depart from the Standard Care dogma established by the followers of Ancel Keys.
This may be regarded as a scientific scandal of far greater lethal consequences than anything proposed by the global Warming and Climate Change hoax.
