“A lot of the weight loss advice that has been touted is based on flawed science,” says David Foreman, known as “The Herbal Pharmacist,” who started his career as a registered pharmacist and now uses his expertise in physiology, pharmacology and integrative medicine to educate consumers on cutting edge approaches to natural health and healing. “We can now prove that saturated fat does not cause heart disease, and full fat dairy products may actually help protect the heart.”

A new report from the National Obesity Forum (NOF) and the Public Health
Collaboration is demanding a major 
over haul in dietary guidelines stating that 
the low-fat and low-cholesterol message
 touted for the past 40 years, has resulted in
 an increased consumption of junk food and 
carbohydrates, which has resulted in 
astronomical obesity levels that show no
 sign of abating despite the best efforts of 
officials and scientists. One of the key conclusions of the 
NOF report: Evidence from multiple trials 
reveals that a higher-fat, lower carbohydrate
 diet is superior to a low-fat diet for weight
loss and cardiovascular risk reduction. The 
report says that processed foods labeled as “low-fat,” “lite,” and “low cholesterol,” should be avoided at all costs.

And a new consumer survey shows the confusion on carbs runs even deeper: 30 percent of the time Americans are unable to identify which foods contain the most starch, providing another insight into the obesity crisis.

David Foreman talks to Mark Alyn about how weaning yourself off of carbs can be the most difficult task on any diet, but, he says, science is now showing us simple ways to turn your favorite carbs into healthier ones so you can enjoy more, while absorbing less. Dave talks about some of the most popular carb-rich foods and how to change their composition to reduce the impact to your waistline.
