Synopsis

I’m a doctor, what do I know about nutrition? I know it can make you suffer if you don’t understand it. That is why I have been studying nutrition for over 10 years. I suffered when I watched my father die. He had diabetes, a nutrition related disease. He took drugs, and it got worse. He took insulin shots every day, and it got worse, then he went into renal failure. It’s painful to be hooked up to a dialysis machine for 5 hours, three times a week. He suffered, and I had his genes. I thought that meant that I was destined to suffer. But I now understand that that wasn’t the problem. The problem was that I had his sedentary lifestyle, and I shared his love of unhealthy junk foods. Maybe you can relate.Are your food choices making you sick?Do you suffer from nutrition related diseases, like diabetes, heart disease, or cancer?Do you have high blood pressure or high blood cholesterol?Are you overweight or underweight?Are you constantly tired and drained of energy?Are you following the latest diet trend in a desperate attempt to improve your health and perhaps lose some weight? If so, then you are wronging yourself greatly. You owe it to yourself to learn about the macronutrients that you are consuming, so that you can make an enlightened decision on which diet is best for you.Many different diets have emerged over recent years including fat-restricted diets, carbohydrate-restricted diets (included the Paleo diet), low-glycemic diets, Mediterranean and other largely plant-based diets, among many others. Nutrition is becoming confusing and overwhelming.You deserve to know which carbohydrates are good and which are bad, which proteins are good and which are bad, which fats are good and which are bad, how much water you need and what the best source is; and finally which diet is the best diet for you to follow.This book provides you with the basic information about your macronutrients, and shows you that blanket statements cannot be made about any of them. You have to know them well, so that you can choose for yourself those which will improve your health and give you everlasting vitality. Enlightened Eating introduces you to some of the problems which can arise for some people when consuming some of these macronutrients and offers simple advice on how to naturally overcome them. For example, some people develop lactose intolerance when consuming the carbohydrate lactose, others have celiac disease and cannot tolerate the protein gluten, and some people have high blood triglycerides or cholesterol.Enlightened eating will guide you on how to overcome these conditions and you will never again be a victim of bad nutrition. You deserve to be healthy.You either learn how to prevent disease through nutrition, or you learn how to handle it through prescription drugs. I hope you choose nutrition. Make nutrition your passion, as it has become mine!
