The diet profile is designed to assist people to check out whether they are eating wisely and whether they are taking in appropriate amounts of carbohydrate, protein and fat. It also looks at various eating habits, eg eating too much, eating for comfort ...
• Closeness to ideal weight?
• Do you eat a decent breakfast?
• Do you eat a high fat diet?
• Do you eat a high starch diet?
• Do you eat from the top of the Diet Hourglass?
• How much water do you during each day?
• Do you supplement your diet with essential micro-nutrients – vitamins,
minerals, essential fats (omega 3) and glyco-proteins - and
nutraceuticals - ginko, aloe vera, Echinacea ...?
• Do you eat too much?
• Are you ruled by your addictions to fat, sugar and starch?
• Does the back end of your system work like a charm?
We use the Hourglass Diet as out eating model.
Low scores are usually symptomatic of high fat, high starch, low fibre diets. The results: - people become over fat and constipated.
Australia is in a grip of obesity and body system dysfunction generated by too much of the wrong food on the one hand, and too little of the right food on the other. It is our opinion that diets high in refined, cereal-based carbohydrates and sugar (the garbohydrates) are a significant driver of this epidemic. Too few people seem to be aware that their level of body fat is affected by the amount of flour and sugar they take in each day. The high starch diet has replaced the high fat diet, with the same consequences.
Coupled with this is the mixing of fat into the flour and sugar equation to provide a deadly, high energy cocktail.
One thing that we observed was that not many people are aware that they may be allergic or intolerant of some foods, particularly wheat flour, milk, deadly nightshades, chocolate, alcohol, caffeine, preservatives ...
Most people have a flour and sugar breakfast, attributed to the kelloggification of the Australian diet. You don't eat biscuits for lunch and dinner so why are you eating them for breakfast? The breakfast eating behaviour of Australians is dreadful. Few people have fruit. Even fewer have vegetables, or adequate protein and fat.
Few people take vitamin and mineral supplements. I believe there are good reasons to do so. If you don't believe me, I recommend you buy the book, What Your Doctor Doesn't Know About Nutrition May Be Killing You, by Ray Strand, MD.
By their own recognition a small number of people said they over-ate and were ruled by their addictions to junk food.
The operation of the back end of the system was only fair – low scores being reflective of a diet that lacks sufficient fibre.
