Rosedale Diet

Here I am with Dr. Ron Rosedale. He is saying some things about our diets that we can all benefit from putting into practice.

Have you noticed that when we were told to eat a low fat or non-fat diet, many diseases went into epidemic proportions? I'm referring to Type 2 Diabetes, heart disease, cancer and autism...just to name a few.

Perhaps it's time to take a look at an alternative approach, one that many 'health' organizations have refused to take into consideration. I'm talking about increasing our fat intake. Whew! I've said it. We need to eat more good fats.

I'm not the only one who is questioning the wisdom of fat free foods. Dr. Ron Rosedale, author of THE ROSEDALE DIET, is another. He is a world renown authority on leptin, the fat hormone discovered in the 1990s.

His theory, and that of others, such as Dr. Mercola, is that we don't get enough fats to satisfy our hormonal feedback loops and it causes overeating and leptin resistance. This is similar to insulin resistance from overeating refined carbohydrates and excess sugars. He also says that reducing starchy carbs is one of the best ways to lose weight and re-set cells to be less insulin and leptin resistant.

You can check out his book on Amazon.com by clicking on the cover in the carousel on the right-hand side. Scroll down to find it. I think it's worth looking into and considering.
