Sugars and Flours

The Problem
Americans eat on average a pound per day of refined carbohydrates, meaning sugars and flours. The effects are disastrous across body, mind, heart, and soul. Many illnesses such as weight gain, fatigue, diabetes, infections, allergies, and depression are linked to the over-consumption of sugars and flours.

The Solution
When refined carbohydrates, i.e. sugars and flours, are eliminated from the diet, startling, wonderful changes begin. A balanced food plan that uses whole carbohydrates to replace refined carbohydrates is preferable to unbalanced low-carbohydrate and high-protein plans. Balancing protein and whole carbohydrates means sailing through life on a steady, even keel. The difference is incredible. Just look at this sample of experiences . . .
