In this show we turn the diet experts on their heads. Annette Presley, co-author with Kevin Brown of The Liberation Diet , refutes the mainstream doctrine of weight loss and promotes the eating of real, traditional foods. Annette Presley RD LD NSCF-CPT is a dietician, personal trainer, and adjunct professor. She purports a return to the diet our ancestors ate before the advent of processed foods. The Podcast can be found on the link below or downloaded from iTunes, Zune, or Stitcher. Would you like to eat real, fat-filled, natural foods such as butter, eggs, steak, and coconut oil and still lose weight and regain your health? The Liberation Diet, like Sally Fallon and Mary Enig's Eat Fat, Lose Fat , states that you can. Their claims are backed up by many readers who have done just that. This "diet" does not include counting calories, and is safe and healthy enough to adopt for a lifetime rather than a temporary fix. Acceptable foods include nutrient-rich bone broths, organ meats, fresh vegetables, and small amounts of fruit and soaked grains. The book has a very easy-to-read style full of interesting historical facts. It is very accessible to the average reader. I'm sure it will spark some controversy. Please feel free to leave your comments! For many of you, the diet might seem very strange or difficult for you to implement, as it involves avoiding processed foods. For Jon and I, this kind of eating is part of our daily life. When we stray from this, our body soon reminds us to return to healthier habits. For breakfast this morning I made organic (traditional but not local) coffee with raw heavy cream from grass fed Jersey cows, some local bacon from pastured pigs, and a lightly scrambled egg from local pastured heritage hens topped with chevre made by a local farmer from raw Saanen goat milk. I chased it down with a cup of raw goats milk. This is a typical breakfast in the Payne household (lucky us!) and one that would be endorsed on The Liberation diet. With this high fat, normal carb meal, there are no spikes in insulin so I can get by without snacking for the next 5 hours until lunch. Worried about cholesterol? Listen to the interview with Chris Masterjohn on cholesterol facts and myths. Wise Traditions Conference I've heard from several of our listeners who are going to the Wise Traditions Conference in Illinois next week. I'm so sorry Jon and I won't be joining you! Jon will be tied up in business meetings all week and I'll be teaching. We're hoping that next year circumstances will allow us to join you - in Maryland, I think. I'm sure you'll network with some wonderful people and learn a lot. And eat great food! A Listener's Suggestions As you know, we enjoy receiving email, facebook comments, tweets, and phone messages from our listeners. We like to know what you like and what you want to hear more of. I want to thank the listener, whoever you are, who recommended us to Jimmy Moore. He is now recommending us to his listeners and we have several new facebook fans. I think Jimmy would endorse Annette and Kevin's diet plan. Margaret Auld-Louie with Optimum Choices recently wrote to us with suggestions about our sound quality. We pride ourselves on doing the best job we can with our available equipment. We'd love to purchase a phone bridge to give you a better listening experience. By leaving us a tip in the tip jar or shopping from our affiliate pages, you can support us in continuing this Podcast. Thank you, Margaret, for starting the contributions. Here are the comments from Margaret regarding soy. Soy is also discussed in interviews with Lierre Keith and Robyn O'Brien. I'd like to hear a podcast on the problems with soy (ideally an interview with Kaayla Daniel, author of the Whole Soy Story, which I have read). As a WAPF member, I'm well aware of the problems but find that few people outside of WAPF are aware of the toxicity of soy. Jon and Cathy Payne no 50:33
