What are hydrogenated oils?
Hydrogenated means that the oil has been mixed with hydrogen. When it reacts chemically with the hydrogen, you get a solid fat instead of liquid oil. This solid fat is much cheaper than for example butter, and is therefore a popular ingredient in the food industry. It always comes down to money, it seems. Too bad money has become more important than preserving people’s health…

Anyway, once the oils are hydrogenated, they create an unnatural fat molecule that the body doesn’t know what to do with. However, the body needs fats. Every cell is surrounded by a membrane that consists of mainly lipids, which is another name for fat. The problem is, that in the US, where everyone is obsessed about dieting and low fat diets, there is a possibility that the only fats that you eat, are actually hydrogenated. And, if that is the case, the body has no choice – it has to use the hydrogenated fats instead of natural fats!

Why is that a problem?
Like I said above, hydrogenated fat molecules are not natural molecules, so when the body tries to use the hydrogenated fats to create cell membranes, they become stiff and sticky instead of soft and flexible.

Here is what normally happens:
Every time you eat, the sugar from the food will get into your blood stream so that the cells can use it for energy. The body then creates insulin, which lets the cell receptors know that sugar is available, and these little chemical “transporters” go out and grab the sugar and bring it through the cell membranes into the cells. However, if the cell membranes are made from hydrogenated oils, the sugar molecules have a hard time getting through so most of the sugar stays in the blood stream.

The body will then produce more insulin to get the sugar levels down. Perhaps the cells didn’t get the message? The sugar has to be taken to the cells! The cells have no energy, and all this sugar is in the blood! And the body works in overload, trying to push the sugar through cell membranes that are sticky and stiff. And because it takes a lot more time to get the sugar into the cells now, the sugar levels may still be too high by the time you eat your next meal, and if that is the case, the sugar levels will now peak to dangerous levels.

This puts the body into a state of emergency. What to do with all the sugar? Store it as fat? Good idea! Urinate it out? Yes! Drink more to dilute the concentration? Definitely!

This is fine, as an emergency measure, but if you keep eating only hydrogenated oils, it will become a permanent state of imbalance. And if you look at the symptoms, they are all symptoms of diabetes!

I have heard that 25% of Americans now have diabetes!!! And if you read the labels on the food they eat, they all have at least one thing in common, hydrogenated oils!

So, can diabetes be reversed?
If you haven’t destroyed your pancreas yet, yes it can. To reverse it, you must NEVER touch anything that contains hydrogenated oils - I don’t care if it is your favorite cookie! Keep reading labels until you find one that is made with natural oils, or just make your own cookies! Then, start using natural oils, like butter, olive oil, almond oil, and so on. As soon as you start using natural oils, the body will replace the hydrogenated oils with natural oils, your cells will be repaired, and you might even lose the extra weight.

The dummest solution – dieting
Because people don’t understand why there is so much sugar in the blood that people keep getting obese, they promote low fat and low carb diets. Why low carb? To keep the sugar levels down, of course! But that doesn’t deal with the real issue, which is – Why are the sugar levels high in the first place?

If you want to resolve a problem, you have to first of all, understand the problem, and second, go to the root of the problem. And the root of this problem is simply hydrogenated oils! So, do yourself a favor – scrap the hydrogenated oils, and your body will thank you for it!

I’m not saying “don’t cook.” Cook a meal, if you like, feed your family, but don’t join them when they eat unless you are actually hungry, too. If you aren’t hungry just then, keep the food in the fridge, and wait until you are hungry before you eat your share. And, when you eat, stop as soon as your hunger is no longer gnawing in your guts. You can eat again any time you want (but only when you are actually hungry!), so there is no need to stuff yourself or fill your stomach to the limit. “Full” is different from “satisfied.” Stuffing yourself to the brim is not healthy!

You can basically eat anything you like, without counting calories – as long as you only eat when you are hungry, and stop as soon as the hunger isn’t bothering you any longer. If you still have food left on your plate, just put the rest of the food back in the fridge with some plastic over it for the next time you get hungry. And NEVER eat out of boredom or because you happen to be watching a movie. If you are bored, find something to do instead, like knitting, or going for a walk.

If you follow this super simple rule of only eating when you are actually hungry, and never stuffing yourself, the excess weight will fall away and your body will stabilize itself at a level that is natural for you. Who knows if you are supposed to have curves? You’ll know when the weight stabilizes itself. Whatever that place is, that is your ideal weigth.

Being overweight or obese is not natural. You never see an obese deer or an obese bobcat. Obese animals only exist in domesticated animals, and it only happens when we feed them regular meals, instead of letting them eat the way they do in nature.

In nature, the animals eat when food is available, and they don’t go looking for food until they are hungry again. There is no breakfast, dinner and evening meal! There is no automatic nibbling when they watch TV. There are no snacks!!! They just look for food when they are hungry, and they eat until they are satisfied and leave the rest. That is the NATURAL way to eat!

Unfortunately, we have forgotten how to be natural. It is time we remember it again…

If your goal is to achieve a weight that is right for you, you don’t have to compare yourself to others. You don’t have to go on a diet. You don’t even have to step on a scale, because it is all about finding YOUR ideal weight, which is basically the weight that is natural for you.

Diets don’t work anyway, because they are simply suppressing your habits. The weight may come off, but when you quit your diet, how long do you keep it off? You can only keep your weight off if you actually change the way you eat!

Eating regular meals is a very un-natural way to eat. In nature, the animals only eat when food is available, and they don’t go looking for food until they are hungry again. If they are not hungry, they don’t even think about food. There is no breakfast, dinner and evening meal! There is no automatic, unconscious nibbling when they watch TV. They just look for food when they are hungry, and they eat until they are satisfied and leave the rest for someone else – no need to be greedy, or finish everything on the plate – that is just conditioned nonsense. Animals don’t operate under this kind of nonsense. The way they eat is the NATURAL way to eat! We have so much to learn from the animals!

Because the boys were in Norway for a while before they were able to bring the girls there, it didn’t take very long before the boys started appreciating skinny white women and started putting pin-up pictures on the walls in their rooms. By the time the African women came, the boys had already adopted a different idea of what was beautiful, and when the women discovered this, they went on strict diets almost right away.

The African girls were beautifully curvy when they arrived. After seriously dieting for a while, they lost their curves and started looking lanky instead. They had long arms and legs that needed some curves for a balanced look. So, we told them that they looked silly when they were too skinny, and that they should start eating so they could gain some curves again. Skinny just didn’t suit them!

We also told them that if the African boys no longer appreciated their curves, we were sure that there would be lots of Norwegian boys who would. This idea went over well with the girls, who were laughing and clapping, but the boys were extremely unhappy about the whole idea. No white boy was going to go out with one of “their” girls!!! Thereafter, the African boys had to let go of their stupid ideas of beauty, and the girls went back to being what they were in the first place, beauties with CURVES!

Everybody is different, and everyone has to decide for themselves what works for them. We have to do whatever it is that makes us feel good about ourselves. If dieting makes you feel miserable, don’t diet! Just eat when you are hungry and see what happens.
