This is where I can help with such delicious and simple food creations, that the diet drug industry would drag me to court if they had any way of preventing this simple truth: you can lose weight and keep it off at a steady pace and with long-term health benefits, if you simply skip the junk foods.
And my definition of junk food is not limited to French fries and cream cakes, it actually comprises all animal-based foods.
Now you may ask why I call ALL animal foods junk. Well, the problem is that no matter where you get your chicken, steak, fish, cow milk, or eggs, they are always loaded with rubbish and unnatural ingredients that put your health at risk and forces your inner organs into continuous overload to rid themselves from toxins and gunk. As they say, "rubbish in - rubbish out", so if you regularly consume foods that are non-essential and burden your system, there is simply no way that you can maintain a lean healthy weight until all the inner workings are sorted out.
What's in animal foods that make us sick? First of all every animal food has cholesterol and saturated fat - both non-essential for your body and therefore a burden. And yes, lean chicken and fish have cholesterol too!
Apart from that, we humans eat whatever our food animals have been fed. To illustrate this, here is just a short list of ingredients that farm animals are fed nowadays, and that includes fish too:
- A high percentage of grains like low cost corn and soy, which is cheap but has little nutrition.
- So called "animal proteins", which are a mix of meat, skin, bones, hair, feathers, and blood from animals of the same species.
- Animal feed can also legally contain rendered road kill, dead horses, and euthanized cats and dogs.
- Swine waste, cattle manure, and poultry litter. Of course where there is waste there is dirt, so you can also find rocks, sand, wood, and dirt in animal feed – yummy isn't it?
- Plastics – used as "roughage" to get this otherwise indigestible concoction through the animals' digestive systems. If they would eat their natural diet of plants they would get fiber, which naturally aids the digestion.
- Drugs and chemicals – as high doses of growth hormones, pesticides, and antibiotica are needed to keep the animals alive and grow fast in otherwise unbearable living conditions. This non-therapeutic use of antibiotics speeds the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and "superbugs"”, which can make animals and humans sick.
- Metal compounds are also used in animal feed, where they are intended to promote growth and feed efficiency.
I even read that scientists are testing to implant a kitchen scrub into farmed animals' stomachs to aid digestion and to provide "natural roughage". Can you believe this?
Very appetizing isn't it? Needless to say that any and all traces of these ingredients in animal feed find their way into the human body by way of consuming animal flesh, their mammal secretions, or their eggs.
If you still believe that a protein-rich, low carb diet is your way into the bikini shape for summer, please read this and then think again: diet dangers of low carb diets.
