THE CALORIE MYTH

THE CALORIE MYTH


The theory of slimming based on the low-calorie approach is without doubt the greatest scientific "fudge"of the twentieth century.


It is nothing more than a snare, a deception, a dangerous and simplistic hypothesis, lacking any real scientific basis. And yet it has dictated our eating habits for over half a century.


You have only to look around you to see that the more well upholstered, plump, fat or even obese people are, the more religiously they count the calories they consume.


With very few exceptions, anything which has passed for a "diet" since the beginning of the century, has essentially been based on the low-calorie theory.


How misguided can you be! No serious or long-term success can be achieved from such a method. Not to mention the side effects, which can be devastating.


At the end of this site I will have more to say on the scandalous socio-cultural phenomenon, which has built up around the subject of calories in food. For we have reached a point where what has happened can only be described as mass brainwashing.
