We are what we eat, and we eat for reasons other than hunger. Some do not get enough - and some of us eat to much. Over the past 10 -20 years obesity in the developed world has become a disease. The sedentary lifestyle, combined with an excess of refined foods is leading to a quarter of the population having to compromise their lives due to the effects of excess weight and fall into the risk of diabetes and other dietary related problems.
The dieting industry has a high failure rate. In our experience diet alone seldom works. What does work is a fundamental change in life style which includes dietary changes. In our clinic and in conversations with customers and colleagues, we often hear how diet programs have failed with clients having tried several different and often expensive programs without any significant results, or that they were unable to adapt to the diets.
At this time in our history we have a great choice as to what we eat and in these pages we look at diet and why we go astray from the healthy model.
Of course we favour natural organically grown produce and we are definitely opposed to genetically modified foods.
It has been reported that cattle when put into fields of genetically altered crops, they actually break out into fields with heavily fertilized and chemically treated crops rather than eat what the genetically altered.
