Carbohydrates are the Cause of Most Diseases via Glycation

It Turns Out that Many Degenerative Diseases Are Caused by Carbohydrates: Are You Surprised?

Since 1987 and the release of the Glycation Theory of Aging, there are now many published papers that describe the damaging effects of glucose-derived glycation end products:

• diabetes
• obesity
• heart disease
• even osteoporosis
• neurological diseases including bi-polar disorder, alzheimer’s disease, and parkinsons and many others
• aging skin and all body proteins

Glycated Proteins: 5,000 Plus Medical Research Papers Published Since 1984

I Rarely Find Anyone, Lay Public, Medical Doctor, or Scientist Who Has Ever Heard About Glycated Proteins

Why? Because everyone is still stuck on fat and cholesterol.

My mission: to teach you about glycated proteins that arise when a glucose molecule attaches itself to your body’s structural proteins including your DNA and RNA.

Forget cholesterol, that’s old news.

Since the collective wisdom and thinking process ended when cholesterol got blamed for heart disease and other diseases, looking at other possibilities stopped.

Even though all these papers have been published, our policy wonks fail to look at the data.

Change Your Metabolism and Lose Weight Fast Now

I love the rags at the supermarket checkout lines — all the weight loss plans splashed all over the covers of the magazines.

Promises that if you just eat this special food, or follow this exercise program, that your metabolism will shoot through the roof and those pounds will finally melt off your body like never before.

What Are the Real Facts About Your Metabolism?

• metabolism is like gravity — it’s part of Mother Nature’s Laws
• it’s not modifiable
• sure, if you gain or lose weight then metabolism will increase of decrease respectively
• the change won’t be significant

How about the idea that you don’t lose weight because you have a slow metabolism? More hogwash. Your metabolic rate (how fast your body burns calories) is dictated by your body size.

There are two main parts to your metabolic rate: resting metabolism and activity metabolism. For most people the resting metabolism is 70% of their total daily calorie burn.

The one you can change is the activity part — that’s where moving your body comes into play.

Add Muscle and Increase Your Metabolism

Adding a good bit of muscle is tough to do, but no matter, muscle at rest burns few calories; in fact, a pound of muscle at rest burns 5 calories in 24-hours and a pound of fat burns 2 calories per 24-hours. Forget about this.

Amazingly, most people have heard about and believe this myth — anothet major reason for weight loss failure.

Why Weight Loss Remains So Confusing

Do We Question So-Called “Authority” — or Do We Just Let It Go?

The nightly news reported on the new weight loss study released yesterday in the New England Journal of Medicine.

The study was the brainchild of two of the pre-eminent medical institutions in the world: the Harvard School of Public Health and the Pennington Biomedical Research Center at LSU.

Seventeen names represented the authorship of the article. The purpose of this multi-year study was to establish if diet composition — how much protein, fat, or carbohydrate in the diet — would impact weight loss.

The researchers validated the well-known fact that calories dictate what happens to body weight over the long haul. Although there were four different dietary combos of the three major food types, the results showed that diet composition was not a factor in weight loss.

There were problems with this study:

• participants lost weight during the first six months and then began to regain weight during the next eighteen months
• this result parallels 50 years of weight loss research showing that people never lose weight at the pre-trial predicted rate
• people do not stick to a weight loss regimen in which calories are reduced — they can’t and I’ll tell you why in a moment

The researchers concluded “that diets that are successful in causing weight loss can emphasize a range of fat, protein, and carbohydrate compositions.” It’s important to emphasize that the range of carbohydrate intake was between 35%-65% of the day’s total calories.

Few People Have the Experience and Backgroud to Make the Following Analysis

Here’s the important point that these researchers do not know: for carbohydrates to contribute to weight loss, the daily composition of the carb intake must be at or lower than 25% of the day’s total calorie intake.

What’s the real result of this study?

Just more confusion.

So, the breaking news covered by all the media is now that diet composition does not matter in weight loss — a totally false conclusion!

We just fall deeper into the quicksand. Here’s what else our research elite just don’t get:

• the reason subjects started regaining is because they could no longer stick to a calorie-reduced diet
• Why? Because they were hungry
• the body rapidly converts carbs to body fat and this process is brisk when carb intake exceeds 25% of calories
• the blood then clears of fuel and ravenous hunger sets in
• the body wants to go back to its original weight
• at 24 months, the average loss among the 4 groups was about 8 pounds — that stinks — 2 years for a lousy 8 pounds
• and, I’ll bet in another year that most will be back to where they started or heavier

We’ve seen the same problem with researchers who study a low carb diet. They simply have no practical experience in it and follow the fatally flawed Atkins’s version. In this study, they did not follow a true low-carb diet, again, because they have no practical experience in knowing what that actually is.

Yet, these researchers, coming from trusted centers, will have the last say and the country will now believe that diet composition makes no impact on weight loss.

Yes, calories do count, but if one cannot stay on a calorie-reduced diet, he has no chance of succeeding in weight loss and certainly if he did lose some, in maintaining the loss. To succeed in calorie-reduced diets, carbs must be dropped to at least 25% of total daily calorie intake, and better yet to below 15%.

What’s the Major Cause of Weight Loss Failure?

It’s Confusion

Even with all the competing weight loss plans and methods, people simply don’t know what to do to succeed.

HOW is that possible, surely these methods, the endless number of them, must work?

No, they really don’t because at the base of it, they’re just plans.

They don’t teach you HOW your body works; they don’t provide a roadmap.

I’m Going to Teach You How Your Body Works

So You Can Permanently Succeed With Weight Loss and Control

Look, I’m no different than anyone else. I grew up in 1950’s America and I got fat in 1950’s America. I was so embarrassed by being fat and getting stretch marks across my chest muscle’s skin that I never took my T-shirt off when I was a lifeguard.

I spent decades trying to solve the issue of what to do about controlling my body.

I even suffered through the process of getting a PhD in physiology and biochemistry at the Temple University School of Medicine in Philadelphia.

There really weren’t any answers there, but what I learned gave me the power to put the answers together. I researched endlessly and I learned all the intricacies, all the steps.

There really was no textbook of weight loss. Sure, there’re plenty of books but none ever summed it all up, put in all the steps, it was just piece meal.

There are, of course, all the books and programs in what I call the “Marketplace.”

But, that’s marketing — an attempt to get their hand in your wallet.

They don’t care if you succeed, it’ll just be more money for them when you fail.

Has Anyone Ever Taught You How Weight Loss Actually Works?

The answer is NO, or you wouldn’t be overweight. If you knew HOW to do it, then you’d only be fat if you didn’t do what you had to do. If that’s the case, then you shoulder the responsibility.

I ask people all the time, “How does weight control work, what are the rules you need to know?”

It’s very interesting that no one has ever been able to answer the question correctly.

Oh, they come up with all kinds of answers but they’re never correct.

There’s Only One Way to Lose Weight

WOW!

What do I mean by that? You mean to say the answer is simple?

“You mean it’s not complicated, not some overwhelming, complex set of problems that I have to deal with?”

As I describe on this site and in my writing, there’s only ONE way to lose and control weight and that’s to balance the calories you eat with the calories you burn.

But Weight Watchers says not to pay attention to calories and Nutri-System says to use the “scientific” Glycemic Index and eat the “good carbs” and stay away from the “bad carbs.” And someone else says to do this and that — blah, blah, blah.

It’s not true.

Well, you just learned something about all these plans and you just learned about all the other plans that are out there too. It’s all hogwash. If they don’t talk about calories as the only way to lose weight, then they’re wrong.

If you follow plans and don’t learn HOW to do it, you’ll never succeed.

It’s all about controlling calories. That’s it — Nature’s Law, the Law of Thermodynamics.

Guys, this is not my idea, it’s your body’s IDEA. I’m not making this up.

Think about it. There are Laws in Nature, like gravity. You jump up in the air and you’ll come down. How many times out of a 100?

100.

Why You Continue to Get Snookered

Since you don’t know HOW to lose and control your weight, the marketers continue to feed on your lack of knowledge. Unfortunately, you’re not armed with the knowledge-base needed to weed through the claims

Lets look at some of the leading Internet ads:

• Top 5 Weight Loss Pills (the pills don’t work)
• Lose 30 Pounds in 30 Days (how could anyone fall for that?)
• Quick Weight Loss (the quickest way is to eat nothing, can’t go any faster than that)
• Lose Weight Fast Now (and I’ll teach you how to fly)
• 30 Pounds in 3 Weeks — No Diet (the only way this might happen is if you starve yourself and even if you do, you won’t lose weight that fast, it’s not possible)

This is just a portion of the nonsense you hear about weight loss.

Now, if you go the medical route (they know it’s about calories), they’ll try to convince you to go low-fat. But, that won’t work either. In my books, I’ll teach you the basics you need to know to get around all of this misinformation.

I’ve taught you the FACTS about Calorie Balance. I’ve taught you that there’s only ONE WAY to lose weight. No one is different, NO ONE is ABOVE the LAW.

Now, that being said, there are many things that get in your way in following the LAW.

For example, look at the diet composition — the type of food you eat.

I can tell you without reservation the best choice is low-carbohydrate. I’ll give you more details on another page.

Look at Some of the Amazing Facts I’m Going to Teach You in My Books

• The Energy Balance Equation: the most important issue you need to know
• Understanding Metabolic Rate and How It Can’t Be Changed (selling you on the idea that you can change your metabolic rate is one of the main scams used today)

My Plan is Not Really My Plan — It’s the Body’s Plan

Yes, that’s right, it’s the BODY’S PLAN. Since weight loss is dictated by one thing and one thing only, and it’s been that way since day one, this is pretty simple to do. I just gathered all of the information needed about HOW to apply it that was spread all over the place.

This isn’t marketing, this isn’t another IDEA or BELIEF system, it’s the SCIENCE of weight control.

This is the first time ever that everything you need to know about weight loss has been compiled in one place. It took decades to gather and analyze the thousands of research papers that’ve been published over the years.

I also had to overcome all the marketing and false ideas to arrive at the needed conclusions.

Make no mistake, this is a competitive arena and big bucks are thrown at weight loss. If I didn’t think I had something unique, something that no one had ever done before, I wouldn’t have entered this brutally difficult market. I can’t play with the big boys.

Free yourself and make the small investment in my books, they’re a complete source of information on weight loss and control, diet information for health and sports performance, training, and anti-aging.

Introducing Dr. Ellis’s Ultimate Diet Secrets lite

UDS-lite: My Pared-Down Version of the 600 Page Ultimate Diet Secrets

Now, I Do Love Ultimate Diet Secrets Because it’s a Book All About My Life’s Work

I’ve got everything in there that I’ve learned during the last 48 years about bodyweight regulation including:

• diet
• exercise
• and all of the important factors involved in the process

But since I introduced UDS in late 2002, there were those who said it was too big and some who simply did not want to plunk down $60 for a weight loss book, as you’ll see.

Book advisors had warned me about this, but I paid no heed.

I knew what I wanted to write and that it was far different than any book ever written about this subject before, and so did my readers.

But, I’m all about giving people what they want and I don’t want anyone who’s interested in weight loss and weight control to miss out on the most ground-breaking information ever presented on this topic because of issues related to size and price.

So, because of consumer demand, I put UDS on a post-holiday diet and trimmed it down by 350 pages. Amazingly, readers will still get all of the critical information they need for success. I know that I never could have written UDS-lite first; it could have arisen only out of the larger book.

How’d I Do It?

I cut out some of the chapters that were not directly related to the weight loss process. These included:

• Chapter 24 (Refined Foods: Sugar and White Flour)
• Chapter 25 (Vegetarianism)
• Chapter 6 (Plumbing the Depths of Academia: Cholesterol and Heart Disease)
• Chapter 21 (my detailed analysis of all the flaws, misinformation, and downright bad ideas behind most of the popular weight loss plans)
• and the Epilogue to my personal story

I also combined several Chapters and cut down on a lot of my autobiographical Chapters (even though my readers love them). In UDS, I used many pages to detail all the science and WHYS about how the body regulates its weight, so out went a lot of that, leaving you with just the HOW TO DO IT and enough explanation about the WHYS so you understand the basics of HOW it all works.

Instead of keeping the big page format for the paper, I folded it in half, reducing the page size to 5½ by 8½ inches.

Several years ago one of my clients said, “Give it all to me in 150 pages.” I argued that I couldn’t possibly do that. But, I was wrong… I could, but I needed to write the big book first to act as a template for UDS-lite.

The result? The best weight loss book ever written (and the only one you’ll ever need) is now available in a quick-reading, right-to-the-point, more standard size and price, and it’s absolutely competitive with an SRP of $24.95 as a printed book and $20.95 as an e-book.

Which Version is Right for You?

• if you want to become an expert in the subject of weight control and know everything possible about the subject, buy Ultimate Diet Secrets — UDS big
• if you want to know and fully understand the science about how the body regulates its weight so you’ll truly understand all the processes involved and how you can control them, buy Ultimate Diet Secrets — UDS big
• if you would like to read more about my background, the years I’ve put into researching and studying all this information, buy Ultimate Diet Secrets — UDS big
• if you want to read all about the ‘other’ diets and exercise routines I’ve tried over the years and what the results were, buy Ultimate Diet Secrets — UDS big
• buy Ultimate Diet Secrets — UDS big — if you want the most information — information that will truly give you control over your weight and dramatically improve your quality of life

Also, as you’ll see on my Order Page for UDS-lite, when you buy either the printed or e-book version of the full-size Ultimate Diet Secrets, you’ll get e-book versions of the other two books in this series, my Spectrum Training System — my resistance training guide, and Vitamin & Mineral Hoax, my guide to supplements — a $32.90 value), absolutely free!

However, if you just want the crucial information you need to control your weight, buy lite:

• if you want all the HOW-TOs but don’t care to know all the WHYS (the science behind it all), buy UDS-lite
  and if you aren’t interested in my background or my research (maybe you’ve already decided you trust my advice), buy UDS-lite
• if you just want a quick-reading book that gets you on the path to weight loss success as fast as possible and you don’t want the free training guide and supplement guide, buy UDS-lite
• or if you just don’t want to or can’t spend $60 to become an expert on weight loss, buy UDS-lite
  and if you decide later that you want any of the missing information from UDS, you’ll see that on the Order Page, every chapter of the full-size book is available for purchase as an e-book (or e-chapter)

You simply can’t go wrong — just buy the extra chapters you want at any time.

And remember: there’s no book out there on weight loss that even comes close to what I am offering, regardless of which version you choose. What I teach is the way it works, this was true 3 million years ago and will be true 3 million years from now unless we up-end our genetic make-up.
