Boat yoga made us think of food. Do you eat more healthy or less healthy when cruising?
Here's a good example why I have little faith in what I read from medical science....goes hand in hand with the every other year margarine or butter...
As a diabetic I avoid carbs. Easiest way to do so on the boat is to stick to the basics, bacon and vodka. Cardiologist went ape after hearing that plan so like any good boater I compromised. I now dip the bacon in humus and drink scotch instead.
Few of us have the ability to fully understand the science behind a particular study. Instead, some news source picks up a headline and runs with it. The reality is that the poor-eating-choice manufacturers are the really huge companies. They love the controversy and confusion. It makes it simple for people to give up and just ignore eating properly.
But the truth is out there. You just have to be have an open enough mind to seek it. And the most basic understanding has to be to follow the money because that's the motivation for the lies. Find a source of real science without the money motivation and you'll start to bump up against truth.
But the reality is...please post the truth...please post a link to real science...cause every side of the story has another one...the AMA can't agree and even docs will tell you on the side what studies have been sidetracked by the Govt or societies to keep them politically correct....
I'm honestly not a conspiracy advocate but do you really think the AMA is the place to go for information that leads to a lifestyle requiring little to no medications and few doctor visits?
I think this is a difficult topic and I've said enough. When people want to really understand diet and nutrition, the internet is a fantastic resource to get smart about it. But you've got to really want to learn because it takes tremendous effort to weed through the marketing and hype. And you've got to be willing to go where the science takes you.
Greetings,
Mr. ps. The "whole truth" is portion control. That's it, that's all.

I also believe all things in moderation including moderation. No point living to be 100 if you're not having some fun along the way.

As a carboretic, I avoid diets. But I may try yours.
I give, what is a "carboretic"?
