Dr. Jay Wortman

Dr Jay Wortman does a nice piece on Jimmy. http://www.drjaywortman.com/blog/wordpress/2012/04/27/carbohydrate-intolerance-institutional-intransigence/

Skinny 3 is out

Oiling of the diet test has ended. It may work, for some but the key to weight loss is still an attitude change, carbohydrate elimination, adequate rest, and the like. No real weight change, but the hunger may be slightly less on oil.

Now it's drugs are the solution

I do not know why I keep reading Sharma, except that I have met the man and he is local.

Now he think that drugs are the answer.

http://www.drsharma.ca/close-concerns-weight-loss-and-weight-loss-maintenance.html?

The real answer is a change in attitude about life, thinking, self and growth in knowledge about food to make proper choices. The proper choices do not include the abundant cheap processed foods available for hand to mouth eating.

Obsession, in some form, is one other issue, which I talk about in my other blog. This blog deals with the physical nature of human and the food we eat, and serves mainly as my record of accumulation of opinions about modern diet. It is the change in attitude that must lead the way. It is not important to me what other people believe, only what I believe is important to me.

Now all I am left with is the continual doing which is against the current of modern life, against my accumulated conditioning, which makes it an ongoing struggle.

O3/O6 ~~ 1:2, unlike olive oils 1:12

Secondly, I like dislike the taste of canola less than the taste of olive oil.

The Paleo religion thinks that nothing in the last 10,000 is any good. What do they object to, other than modern.

Food grade canola oil is centrifuge pressed in a massive centrifuge, not chemically extracted.  The one that I designed the foundation for had 35Kip rotor operating at 3450 rpm, with maximum 1 kip unbalanced load at 24 inches off center. That will shake a the 100 kip machine and 1400 kip base and battered pile base. The oil just flows out, and is shipped to a bottling plant that also bottles other products.  The mash is chemically rinsed for the chemical grade products. No one would eat the chemical grade stuff: it has a gray color, that does not come out cheaply. The quantity of canola oil used for food is small compared to total production.

The only down side to Canola may be traces of chemicals, but what about olives? are they grown without chemicals?

And none of the readily available olive oil is considered good. I am not about to go into down town Edmonton in search of olive oil.

My ancestors, that I remember from my youth did not have major weight issues; however, it was a concern. I come from long generations, of rural living, farming tradition families. Both of my grandfathers were massive men in their youth, 6'4 and 6'5, and an axle handle wide at the shoulders. My grandmothers were both smallish ladies, 5'4 or there about. On their wedding photos, they look like dwarfs. adjacent.

But I have always had a sever weight problem, always food issues. Some were learned behaviors, and some seem to physical/chemical issues.

enough said?
