The 24-Hour Diet. Lean for Life - One day at a time (Brian Peskin)

I'm reading Brian Peskin's latest book, "The 24-Hour Diet. Lean for Life - One day at a time".
The first funny thing I want to mention is that a few years ago, Mayu asked me, "Why do all North American books insist on having those ridiculous loooong "double titles"?" I have to agree. Look around at any health, reference, or other non-fiction book and you will see this is true. It is rather humourous.

This book, is, once again, a fantastic book by Brian. About 10 years ago he wrote "Radiant Health - Beyond the Zone" and it covered everything I have been evangelizing about on carbs, EFAs, cholesterol, fats, etc. etc. In fact, that book changed my life.

Well, with this book, Brian has brought everything up to date with even more current research and findings that have taken place during the time he published the other one. And this research is once again highly controversial stuff (read, the governments, nutritional industry, and big (grain) business doesn't want us to know). But it is all scientific research that once again backs up all of the things he has been saying all along on a biochemical basis and NONE, I repeat NONE of it is based on "parroting of misinformation" as too much of the info we get these days from the industries we "blindly (but mistakenly) trust" feed us.

They are starving us and making us fatter. Look around you and look at yourself. You will see that no matter how hard you try to follow what they tell us, you are getting fatter, more exhausted, and sicker the harder you try. Brian blows all that bullshit out of the water once again in a way that takes the science and makes it understandable to all of us non-scientist boobs out in the real world (that'd be me).

I thought that I might like to share some of this book, but every single page has so much information that YOU NEED TO KNOW about everything screwing us up, about every health-related illness, about... about everything except the kitchen sink that I just can't do it!There is too much. And I would have to plagiarize his book to get this info out to you.So, instead of doing that, PLEASE GO AND ORDER THIS BOOK from www.brianpeskin.com. You can order it through the mail too if you want. The price is a ridiculously inexpensive USD $39.95 plus $5.95 S&H (national) or $13.95 S&H (international).

This is not another "diet". It never was, about that for Brian. Brian, once again, talks about the science so that you don't need to trust me, or him, or some other "know-nothing guru" out to make a quick buck by rewriting the misconceptions and NOT basing anything on the true, sustainable science. You can believe the science because it is all based on HOW OUR BODIES WORK at a cellular level.

There are some people out there connected to me that I want to tell this to on a personal level, but I really am afraid that being so blunt and straightforward will hurt your sensitivities. But let me tell you this, (and you can take this personally for YOU if you so wish, though I am not writing this with any one person in mind at this time), if you do not get this book and educate yourself, if you continue to follow your doctors, and your surgeons, and your nutritionists, and the idiots around you, you WILL NOT reduce your weight in a healthy manner, and you WILL get sicker and sicker until your healthcare no longer wants to cover your bills.

There. I said it. It's nasty, but many people say to me, "Oh, Cam, I know what you are saying, I believe you..." and then six months later they are fatter and sicker than before. That drives me crazy. It really does. Don't tell me you believe me and then go and continue to do the same old thing that is leading you down the path of cellular destruction. I don't want to hear it.
Or get the book, and learn for yourself. BECAUSE, if you have not read this book, or Brian's other one about Cancer, or his original Radiant Health book, you cannot possibly know this stuff because there is nobody else in the world who has connected all the dots like Brian.

And I'm serious about this.

In fact, I am passionate about it.

Those of you with me long enough, who have actually tested the things I have passed on to you so that you can see for yourself that what I tell you matches EXACTLY to the results you get, not just once, or twice, but every single time, will attest to the fact that Brian Peskin is no quack. He has gotten it right while everyone else is still screwing us.

Here is the dedication in the front of this book:

"This book is dedicated to America's women. American women have phenomenal willpower and drive to do what they think is right. Yet frequent recommendations by nutritionists, personal trainers, and even misguided physicians about how to lose weight permanently while staying energized are often the exact opposite of what the world's leading medical textbooks (the ones the misled doctors studied!) state. Wrong advice from seemingly credible sources is the cause of America's weight problem.

If you are overweight and exhausted (and most are, even if you don't think you are because the entire continent has totally screwed up the concept of what is healthy and what is overweight), it is their fault, not yours. This book's goal is to allow you to have he body you've always wanted. "The 24 Hr-Diet" is my personal gift to you.

This book provides the first diet ever created that is based completely on state-of-the-art medical science. Its program lays out a scientifically sound, easy-to-follow method for becoming and staying lean-for-life and energized."

I currently just finished reading the info on fiber,cholesterol, etc. for the second time (Brian sent me chapters as he was writing). This stuff shows us on a cellular level really how messed up our brains are in the knowledge that we THINK is correct because none of what we know is based on science! It is an outrage to think that the doctors will battle this, and reject it and continue to base what they think is on unsustainable drivel. I know this will happen. And I know we will get sicker and fatter, too.

The really GOOD doctors, the open-minded ones who understand that our current knowledge has failed us all, and that we are all getting sicker will open their minds to this research as many working with Brian now, have done. And they will be the forerunners in bringing new and sustainable excellent health to those lucky few patients who believe in them.

If you are a doctor, or a nurse, or a nutritionist, I sincerely hope you will give your clients a living chance by opening your mind to this information, reading the book, and testing it to prove to yourself that Brian is right and everyone else is either flat out wrong, or only giving partially correct info which gets messed up by the media or twisted when it finally comes around to us, those that need it most.

Here is something you might find interesting:

Humans cannot digest fiber!
The following statements were summarized from or all come directly from reliable medical textbooks and research:

- "No enzymes capable of (breaking down) cellulose (fiber) are secreted in the human digestive tract. Consequently fiber cannot be considered a food for the human being."

- "Fiber did nothing to improve 'colon efficiency".

- Those people eating the most fiber get the most colon cancer. The fiber found worthless to protect against colon cancer was the highly promoted soluble fiber.

- "Natural sources of fiber such as cereals and fruits, generally have a depressing effect on absorption of minerals such as calcium, iron, zinc, and copper. Imagine taking mineral supplements and still going into a negative balance for the very minerals that are being supplemented."

- Women eating the most fiber and the lowest amount of fat had 20% lower calcium retention (i.e. they LOST calcium).

- The body can convert glycogen (stored carbohydrate in the liver and muscles) into glucose whenever needed AND can also convert our fat reserves to glucose (blood sugar) as needed.

- "The normal blood glucose concentration in a person who has ot eaten a meal within the past 3 to 4 hours is about 90 mg/dl. (less than 1tsp of sugar - the NORMAL amount we desire.)

I don't want to write anymore because I want Brian to prosper from his hard work. Just buy the book, will ya?

I love you!
