The Diet Protocol

What is the best diet? The Diet Protocol is the optimal nutritional model for humans based on the science of biochemistry and numerous studies.

The best diet to which all humans can have optimal health is with this distribution of the three macro nutrients:

* Adequate Protein

* Less Carbohydrate

* More Fat

This surprising conclusion is contrary to the common low fat diet, promoted by the mass media and “registered dietitians.” As a matter of fact, you would do well to ignore most of the dietary advice found in the media if you want to achieve the best dietary results!

Why? Because most authors who promote their diets through the popular media are not acting in your best interests. They habitually promote their high carbohydrate (= high sugar) diets which many studies have proven to be disastrous for human health.

Truthfully, the low carb diet is the best diet plan because it results in low insulin and high glucagon levels in the blood. This allows the body to burn fat for fuel and protects the body from harmful high sugar/high insulin blood levels which in turn promotes disease in the body.

The Basics of Optimal Nutrition

Lower carbohydrate diets go way back in history even to ancient times . The over-use of cultivated grains to feed the masses was the beginning of the high-sugar diet which has caused much misery in the civilized world (eg. diabetes, obesity, heart disease, cancer).

William Banting published one of the first low carb diet booklets called "A Letter on Corpulence." Another low-carb diet protocol from the 1950's was "Eat Fat and Grow Slim" by Dr. R. Mackarness. Later, the low-carb diet was popularized by Dr. Robert Atkins (Diet Revolution) and Dr. Michael Eades (Protein Power).

Dr. Ron Rosedale, expert on insulin and leptin effects in the body, comes to this conclusion: "I recommend 20 percent of calories from carbs, depending on the size of the person, 25 percent to 30 percent of calories from protein, and 60 percent to 65 percent from fat."

In the simplest terms our diets should consist of more protein and fat than carbohydrates.

The Cholesterol Myth

Over the past thirty years or so, cholesterol has been blamed for the heart disease epidemic. Since animal-sourced foods are relatively high in cholesterol, there has been a public campaign to drastically reduce or even eliminate the consumption of meat and dairy products due to their high saturated fat and cholesterol content.

However, the most recent research has shown that a diet based on meat, eggs, milk, cheese, etc. results in lower belly fat and the best blood profiles of HDL, LDL, and triglycerides. Click here to discover the truth about cholesterol and heart health.

Research continues to shed new light on what constitutes optimal nutrition. Little known facts about the dangers of phyto-estrogenic foods such as flax and soy have shed new light onto why the health of the general population continues to decline, while diseases such as heart disease, cancer, and altzheimer's continues to rise at an alarming rate.

Although a low sugar, high protein and fat diet is necessary to reduce insulin levels in the blood and give your body the building materials it needs for maintenance and repair, it is just as important to decrease or eliminate the foods which cause disease.

The Diet Protocol requires the consumption of natural, unprocessed foods including eggs, fish, meats, dairy, nuts, fruits and fibrous vegetables . The best fat sources are from coconut oil, olive oil, and animal fats.

How To Follow the Diet Protocol

1. Your average protein intake should be 0.5 gram for every pound of body weight (or 1 gram per kilogram of body weight).

2. Carbohydrate intake should be less than your protein intake.

3. Carbohydrates should be from low glycemic sources.

4. Protein foods should be eaten with all of their natural fats.

Eating Tips:

1. Eat a good breakfast every morning. It will stabilize your blood sugar and get you off to a good start.

2. Avoid foods high in phyto-estrogens as listed in red here.

3. Avoid processed foods, trans fats, and high fructose corn syrup. All increase insulin resistance.

4. Choose raw and cooked vegetables that are low glycemic.

5. Choose raw fruits such as berries and fruits you can eat with the skin on.

What to Expect from the Diet Protocol?

* More muscle mass, endurance and energy.

* Loss of body fat if overweight because the body is easily able to use fat stores for fuel.

* Perfect cholesterol levels (Higher HDL & lower LDL), lower triglycerides, ideal blood pressure.

* Better concentration, learning ability, mental clarity.

* Very high resistance to cancers and tumors. Cancer cells use sugar as fuel so on a low sugar diet they cannot grow or multiply.

* Perfect digestion without gas or bloating. Stomach ulcers clear up.

* Immune response normalizes.

* Diseases of the body and mind generally eradicated.
