Basic LCHF ref Dr Annika Dahlqvist MD General Practioner

Thursday, September 17th, 2009

You should eat:

Dairy products. Milk, yoghurt, cheese, Feta cheese, cottage cheese, Creme Fraiche, cream cheese, butter, mayonnaise etc.

Do never choose low fat products or sugar-added products.

Beef, pork, lamb, chicken fish, shellfish. Eat preferably the fat.

Ham, sausage and other processed meats ( prefered carbohydrate content less than 5 weight%)

Eggs (choose if possible eggs with low Omega 6 content)

Herbs, spices, stock, salt and peppar according to taste.

Sauces with low carbohydrate content.

Vegetables. Olives. Linseed

Dressings with oil and vinager or mayonnaise.

Cold pressed oils. Olive-, rapeseed-, linseed-, coconut- and palmoil (just remember the body cannot use the Omega 3 from vegetable oils)

 

Unless your diet contains a good supply of fish with a high fat content you may need a supplement of the essential polyunsaturated fatty acid Omega 3, as in fish oil.

 

Foods to limit or avoid:

Potato and potato based products as chips and crisps.

Rice and rice products.

Corn and corn products, for example Cornflakes.

Grain based products such as pasta, bread, biscuits, breakfast cereals, porridge.

Sweets, cakes, Danish pastries, fizzy drinks, juice .

All sugar and sugary products.

Margarine (chemically processed vegetable oils) and oils rich in Omega 6 are not suited for our bodies. They contribute to an increased risk for heart and artery problems, diabetes, overweight, cancer, allergies etc.  

Examples of oils with a high Omega 6 content are  corn oil, sunflower oil, soya oil, peanut oil.

 

If you feel that you cannot give up bread and potatoes then try to reduce them gradually.

 

You may eat a little of these foods:

Beans, lentils, nuts, sunflower seeds.

Fresh fruit (dried fruit has a too high sugar content)

Small amounts of chocolate with high cacao content, 65-70%.

 

These foods contain a small amount of slowburning carbohydrates.

Leave them out while reducing your weight. Try to include them again when you have reached your goal.

Drink only small amounts of alcohol, it increases overweight and disturbs the sugar balance.

(Beer contains maltose which is a very fast carbohydrate.)

The Travel To Health Back on The Track

Sunday, September 13th, 2009


Digg!

I am worth congratulations. My blog is coming to live having been a Sleeping Beauty for quite some time while allowing my thoughts to mature.

These thoughts concern the way the Travel To Health might take to become real and efficient helping people to live a better life, living longer and remain healthier than they imagined be possible.

The thoughts are backed up by few Swedish MDs as well as e g Dr J.Mercola and Dr Michael R. Eades and we can rightfully claim that it is more than probable that they point at least in the right direction.

I can recommend that people follow my advice feeling confident that if applied they will improve your health, normalize your weight, if you are weighing too much and prevent a possible diabetes. You are also likely to get improved heart health.

There are simple basic rules to follow, still they involve breaking habits in a way that can be more than difficult. So, think of yourself and take action. Usually nobody else does it.

Here are the basic rules:

  1. Eat as little carbohydrates as you possibly can.
  2. Eat fat but only animalfat, butter, rape-oil or olive oil.

In general that’s all there is to it. Isn’t it wonderful with such simple rules that really work.

The National Swedish Board of Health and Welfare has confirmed that this advice is not against proven science. Isn´t that marvellous as a statement. Not against - means probably something like: “to the best of our knowledge”.

That is all for today tomorrow there will be more details.

The Travel To Health

Monday, September 29th, 2008

Heartily Welcome to My Blog, Dear Readers!

It is starting now - The Travel To Health – your coordinator is Kurt Mattsson. He is an 70 year old retired mining engineer living in Helsingborg. He believes - in sad moments - that he might have lived almost half his lifetime. That should have been too bad news, so he won´t admit it, no way. So there we go in search for the health graal, which easily doubles your healthy lifetime expectancy.

The saying “Better rich and healthy than poor and sick” may have a point although a bitter one. We prefer health, happiness and wealth shared with as many as possible.  So let´s find out together how to get there. Joy from my philosophic mentor Mark Joyner should be with us all the way.

Health is Your Life and most probably the only one you are going to have. Ever.

So all of you out there, get in here, you won´t regret it !

There are lots problems to overcome but another of my mentors has a site called “Overcome everything, so that´s exactly what we will do.

The target is clear: Remarkably better health to everybody.

To reach such a goal we have cover a lot. “Health is becoming a matter of class”, “The number of poor people in the world increases due to rapidly increasing food prices”, “Obesity more catastrophic than global warming” informs media.

There are also connections between these messages.

Do you really believe that decreasing eyesight can be corrected just by adding lenses before the eyes? Sight might appear to be a simple thing so why not? But hallo wait until I have explained! (Statement only to make old lecturers to recognize themselves.)

Opt In on board, contribute with your specialist knowledge so we can sort things out!

This weekly newsletter will be groundbreaking – mining engineers keep opening new deposits of everything including knowledge. As an expert to be I will drill into it, blast into it, dig into it until we find the path to a better future. Remember that Health is Your Life!

I am not only a health expert to be but also a internet success to be. I learn from the best, they will mentor me to become the best. Not from the very beginning though because it is better to be productive than perfect (Shawn Casey).

We have a lot of stories about people rising from the bottom to not only the top but well above the top “Angle Gurus” are those, who we look up to. Here comes somebody not at all up there but trying to get there. We had something in school called “Emperor on the hill” and we all know, that is the really pool position. Emperors never abdicate voluntarily, don´t ever believe so.

You are invited to follow his never ceasing efforts to find his way to a good living for himself and his family, health and economy both included in harmony with the environment.

Yours Sincerely,

Kurt EJ Mattsson
