All Lard Diet Rocks Medical Community
All Lard Diet Rocks Medical Community CHICAGO- Riding the crest of the wave of carnivorous low carbohydrate diets sweeping the nation, a doctor from Tennessee is touting an all fat diet consisting primarily of butter products and animal fatty tissue as his panacea to obesity. "Let the fruit rot on the vine, leave the wimpy salads for the rabbits-butter is where it's at, baby," claims Dr. Hugh Geliar in his new book, "Sugar, Meat, Greasy and Sweet." Geliar claims that unlike fruits, nuts, vegetables and other "pansy" foodstuffs, lard-rich products satiate the body's need to secrete its own insulin and energy-energy that unused, turns into body fat. "Why force your body to produce sugar when all it needs is fat?" asked Geliar. "Eat the fat, it goes away. But create the fat, it stays in the body." Geliar's book, though scarce on scientific data to support his claims and generally rebuked in the medical community, provides dozens of high-fat recipes that he claims have helped him personally shed 316 pounds during the past 8 months. "There's this widespread misconception that food needs to taste bad for it to be healthy for you," Geliar stated. "In my book, you'll see that actually the reverse is true. Give the body what it wants-greasy, sugary, gloppy stuff. I used to weigh close to 900 pounds. I gained most of that weight trying to adhere to these ridiculous diets that starved and tortured my body, thereby forcing it into a state of shock. My body entered a kind of warlike battle mentality and produced its own storehouse of fat to deal with what it perceived as a dangerous onslaught of such evil Anti-Sugar toxins as tofu, cottage-cheese and soul-sucking rice cakes." Geliar's diet downplays the culpability that other regimens, such as the Atkins Diet, place on bread and pasta products. "Hey, if someone refuses to give their body the sugar and fat it needs through traditional means, such as butter enemas or intravenous maple syrup, I would not recommend further depriving their systems by abstaining from a healthy half-loaf of chemically-enriched white bread or some cinnamon and sugar-coated, jelly-saturated, chocolate-topped French toast sticks," said Geliar. |
