I agree with the dictum that we should drink when we are thirsty. It is a sad indictment of our society that every new health theory must be taught as deitary fact. It is not the fault of consumers when we accept these supposed facts. We look to people with knowledge to disperse their knowledge in an ethical manner.
David Gillespie's well researched theories have been proven and have a scientific basis which is strengthened through practical experience and is even now being given tacit approval by those who not too long ago, were fervent opponants.
I have long been a sceptic of weight loss schemes...and indeed of the entire weight loss industry. As a journalist, I have spent time debunking the charletans and imploring people to get off the dietary roundabout which, by its very nature, is destined to fail. Such repeated failures are what sustains the industry.
The whole health food industry is flawed. Consider how it promotes vitamins, supplements, replacement meals (unbelievable!)...and what about the clowns who now promote detoxification diets; and the latest in the long line up of idiot ideas....try a coffee enema for good health. Pardon the pun, but that's crap!
Google has provided a pathway for a variety of people from committed professionals to complete ratbags to promote ideas from brilliant to ridiculous; but it also provides a means for consumers to do their own research into the same ideas.
You can't massage away fat; you can't get fit without exercise; you can't lose weight by eating whatever you want...just as surely as you can't get wealthy by dreaming of a lotto win. But one of the side effects of going fructose free is weight loss....and that is proven to reduce your risk of heart attack, stroke and diabetes....(not to mention that you run the real risk of ceasing to be a fatso).
When I started the sugar free regime I was not entirely convinced of its benefit, and I would not have been surprised to find David Gillesipie was just another crackpot flogging yet another worthless weight loss 'miracle'. (After all he was a solicitor). I am happy to discover his research is sound, his predictions (as far as health benefits and weight loss are concerned) are accurate and I urge everyone who is visiting this forum to keep faith, follow the guidelines and await the benefits which although they may be more apparent in some than in others, will arrive to make you literally a better person.
