In our recent history the multi-billion dollar diet business con-vinced people that fat is bad – so the dieter was con-vinced to look for ‘low-fat’ or ‘lite’ or ‘fat-reduced’ products what were high in ‘refined carbs’ like sugar. Then the diet industry was telling everyone that ‘carbs’ are all bad!! Now dieters have been conv-inced to turn to the so called ‘low carb’ or ‘carb lite’ foods, these foods are most often than not, high in processed fats!!! So dieters avoided fat, choosing ‘fat-free’ or ‘low fat’ foods (high in carbs), now the opposite is happening!!

People tell me now they don’t eat fruit because it is a carb, full of sugar!!!! This is all really very good news for the ‘diet food’ manufactures/industry, not good news for you. Fruit is one of the healthiest foods you can eat.

Unfortunately, the evidence is irrefutable even though hundreds of people try these ‘diets’ few people experience long-term success, as the statistics reveal time and time again. 95% of people put thei weight back on in 5 years.

Remember if there was a quick ‘magic’ easy solution, our nations would all be fit, slim and healthy. Of-course we all know that the opposite is true and the situation is getting worse.

Sickness and obesity are on the up, even in children, and instead of helping people understand how to truly adopt a life-long healthy approach, no, why? One reason it’s hard to make billions of dollars out of fresh fruit and vegetables, can’t trade mark them or patent them (but you can malign them). Even this is changing as they are now genetically modifying produce and patenting them, but that is a whole different money-making story that is too long to go into here.

Fruit is not making people fat – VERY single piece of evidence shows that  people  we are not eating even 5 (which is minium) a day – if you remove french fries – some people are not eating 5-a week , leave alone a day. Every case study I have taken (there have been many)  they did not get fat on fruit and vegetables.

In other thing the futher they get you a way from eating natural produce the better – they make money – you put on weight – the diet industry is happy.
