La historia de cómo Robin Nixon consiguió mejorar su salud me ha gustado. Es la de cualquiera de los que hemos conseguido adelgazar y estar sanos haciendo justo lo contrario de lo que nos dicen que hay que hacer:

«What I discovered was that we have all been lied to by the huge food organizations and drug companies, who do so much lobbying that they have governments in their pockets, which also repeat the big food lie of the last 60 years, which is that fatty foods cause body fat. I mean, it sounds so logical and obvious doesn’t it? You eat fat so you get fat. Except that it’s completely wrong.»

«So when nutrition ‘experts’ insist that your diet must comprise of 60% carbohydrates, they are actually advising you to store as much fat as possible.»

Y hablando de su problema de pre-diabetes y de las instituciones que dicen que los diabéticos deben seguir dietas low-fat:

«So. As I said, I am yet more proof that this low fat, high carb eating advice is not just outdated, it’s downright harmful. Those organisations that continue to spout the same old mantra, far from being helpful, are a downright disgrace. They are part of the problem, and not the solution.»

Robin decidió aprender por su cuenta cómo debía comer para adelgazar. Leyó libros, buscó en internet y finalmente logró sus objetivos. Vale la pena leer su experiencia:

• Finally Achieving My Greatest Unattained Goal
• I am proof that LCHF makes you thin and cures diabetes
