James Carville, 1992:
It’s the economy, stupid,
rallying cry for the Bill Clinton presidential campaign
Gary McCarty, 2014:
It’s still the economy, but at least you can control your carb intake.
If Not Calories, Then What?
I’ll make a couple of bold – but true – statements at the outset to get you thinking:
Stop counting (or don’t start counting) calories. It’s not the overall calories by themselves that are making you fat.
Start counting – and drastically reducing – the refined and other bad carbohydrates you consume. They are making you both overweight and sick, at least potentially on the health front. Give those carbs time, and they’ll show up in your blood pressure, glucose levels, and potential for serious heart disease.
Not count calories, you ask?
Not even don’t count them, but don’t even worry about them. The reason you eat too many calories of food in the first place is due to your consumption of refined carbohydrates, which instead of filling you up are leaving you hungry and demanding more. And more. And more.
If you’re like most Americans, even many of those without weight problems, you’re obsessed with refined-carbohydrate foods.
Admit it.
YOU’RE AN ADDICT. Call us carb addicts the un-silent majority. Those clamoring for bread, pasta, French fries, candies, sodas, starches, sugars. Most of us, in other words.
Let’s look at the symptoms: You can’t get enough refined carbohydrates, so you keep stuffing things down your throat that turn instantly into sugar, but which do nothing to sate your appetite or make you feel full – or healthy, for that matter. Like a drug addict on a downward spiral, you keep reaching out for and stuffing yourself with substances that give quick gratification – and lead to long-term serious health problems.
University of Colorado Denver nephrologist Richard Johnson asks rhetorically in a National Geographic article titled Sugar Love
(August 2013):
"Why is it that one-third of adults [worldwide] have high blood pressure, when in 1900 only 5
