Acai, WuYi, Or Fish Oil?

Posted: March 20th, 2009 | Author: Dr. Bill | No Comments »

Every day when I open my email I have at least 25 messages about diet, or diet related products.  This morning for instance, I had messages about Acai, Fucoslim, WuYi Tea, 4 different colon cleanses, and so on and such forth.

But the best of the lot was diet advice from a body building site in the U.K. Now, I have seen my share of bodybuilders over the years, mostly to give advice on repairing hips and knees blown out by…how do I say this…egregious abuse of the human body. Most of these injuries occurred in pursuit of the perfect quadricep, or calf  muscle, or some other such nonsense.

It seems bodybuilders believe almost any nonsense printed about how to get lean and strong, none of which they really are. If you don’t believe me, somewhere on YouTube there is video of a 60 year old man racing, (100 yards), a big name bodybuilder, who is gassed at forty yards.

The guest blogger at this website recommended in his post boiling all the chicken and beef that you eat, to get rid of the sugars that might still be lurking there.

Whoa!

I don’t know about you, but when I’m eating  beef I certainly don’t want it boiled. Now I realize that you poach chicken for a chicken salad at times, but boiled chicken and beef is just an invitation to diet disaster.

That’s why I like the word moderate (except if the next word is Republican). You start getting in shape by making small changes, like eliminating  excess sugar in your diet. You can do that by eliminating soda from your diet. Then Fruit Loops. Cutting back on ice cream. But I guarantee you, boiling your beef to get rid of a micro trace of sugar isn’t going to help you at all.

What WILL help you is supplementing your diet with my deep water, small fish, ultra pure  pharmaceutical grade fish oil, Dr. Bill’s Powerhouse Omega Formula. I can almost guarantee that if  you’re taking my fish oil every day you’ll have the power to realize that some people in the diet industry are just flat out nuts. And this guy, now matter how well intentioned, is one of them.

Now, I can just imagine someone writing in telling me all about a wonderful boiled dinner they had once in some remote corner of the globe. I had one once too, in some part of France. And on that particular day it was good, and so was the Gateau St. Honore that went with it. And I think there was some champagne involved, too.

But that was once, and someone superb was doing the cooking. I doubt that they made that dinner  every day, or boiled all their beef and chicken every day. You won’t either.

So my advice is too stay away from extremes, and do what you’re capable of doing on that particular day. That’s the way babies do it, one step at a time. And don’t you know, pretty soon, not only can they walk, but run too.
