CALORIES

A TOTAL MYTH AND UNPROVEN THEORY

Why is it that lies and fabrications are more appreciated than the truth? I

will tell you why, because lies just happen to make an enormous amount of

money for the people that promote and sell things. Point in hand, Vince Gironda

60 years ago told the truth about exercise, nutrition, and eating habits. Only 15%

of the people, in which I call them the intellects, believed him and 85% of the

people whom I call Homer Simpson said no, no, no, especially the money making

entrepreneurs. This is the exact case of Calories, the lies, and the fabrications

that go on, and on, as the MYTHICAL measure of foods in gaining and losing

body fat. Before I totally bust the Calorie theory, I want to tell you a story.

Years ago I took some meats, eggs, vegetables, fruits, breads and I

sliced, cut, diced, opened, peeled, crushed and inspected every morsel of the

foods and you know what, I couldnt find any Calories . Why, because there

arent any! What did I find? I found the three major components of foods, which

are proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. Now, Hippocrates referred to them as

different things than we do today but proteins, fats, and carbohydrates have been

in foods since the beginning of time and it was first called Mothers Milk! End of

story. As someone called Mother Nature or God or the Innate spirit, whom ever

you prefer to profess to believe, never heard of Calories. They are a fabricated

theory via mans imagination.

So, how did this myth get started? Well, listen and you might understand

how and why, maybe I can explain or maybe I cant, you decide! Remember

man lies for two reasons, thats for personal gain and to make money. In this

case, could it probably be ignorance? Well to a certain extent, maybe yes! Think

of it this way the medical profession has never embraced food or nutrition in any

manner and continue to treat the symptoms and not the cause of disease! As

Hippocrates said, food is medicine, medicine is food to treat and cure diseases of

any kind. Again, Hippocrates plainly stated this in his 10 Rules. But no, nutrition

is far too simple, far too inexpensive, and far too effective. (Refer to Kevin

Trudeaus book in which he exposes the powers that are in control as nothing

short of corrupt, dishonest, and a true conspiracy.) Think of it this way, it makes

you want to barf at the contempt they have for us.

The entrepreneurs and the drug manufactures use fabricated false dietary

data to create a synthetic miracle elixir for your well-being, but the miracle elixir is

going to cost you lots of money! You see what I mean. When man ate proteins,

fats, and vegetables, he was primarily slim and muscular. However, when he

started to ingest massive amounts of carbs and destroy his body with excess

sugar this affected his thyroid and his endocrine glands, then he became sick

and obese. Nevertheless, this was ignored. Medical science again said were

gone find the secret to weight gain and weight loss. To a large degree, Calories

have their roots in the British thermal unit and it talks about heat, as in nature

everything generates heat.


3/12

The British thermal unit (B.T.U. look it up in a dictionary) was stated as

the amount of heat needed to raise one gram of water one degree Fahrenheit or

centigrade. Since there were not many nutritionally educated people around at

that time, they named it, a Calorie and said if you ingest too many calories, you

are going to gain weight and if you restrict Calories, you are going to lose weight.

Well, that sounded very logical and very simple. They didnt care what food it

was, so they merely applied the word Calorie to all foods and the heat that these

foods generate. Not making any difference if it was sugar, white flour, white rice,

meat, eggs, vegetables, or cheese, etc. All food now contained Calories and if

you put so many Calories in and took so many Calories out you are going to lose

and gain weight. In addition, of course, I will explain the Calorie theory a little bit

more when I talk about exercise and how many heat Calories exercise burns, so

they said if you exercise, you are going to lose weight, but thats coming a little

later.

Moreover, again this is all a theory that has never ever proven to be true,

but so what, who cares. Its extremely very primitive. And of course, this is the

state of our medical profession to this day. They are extremely misinformed

people in how they know nothing about food, how they make people sick with

their weight loss drugs and on, and on! But again, the Calorie proponents ignore

completely the endocrine system. They completely ignored the Adrenals, they

completely ignored the Pituitary, and they completely ignored the Hypothalamus

and especially the Thyroid. Of course, we know now that these are the things

that really control weight loss and weight gain, as long as your diet is not high in

processed and refined carbohydrates. Vince said this 60 years ago and Kevin

Trudeau is restating it today! In his weight loss book he explains that there was a

Dr. Semonion (MD) in the early 1950s that pioneered weight loss therapy using

the principles Vince and I talk about concerning the endocrine glands as the true

initial essence of weight loss. Needless to say, as Trudeau explains, his

methods were suppressed, then as now!

And of course, while the battling and fighting was going on at the turn of

the 19th century, fats and proteins were now being demonized as evil things and

vegetables, fruits and grains were categorized as healthy and good for you. (I

hope you read my thyroid article and my grain article.) But, the Calorie myth will

continue to flourish as I have always said, to keep the money rolling in.

Remember, if a corporation or business can convince the masses, which is the

85% of the people in America that something is a standard and the only game in

town they will continue to spend big bucks even if its a lie.

Again, our mass marketing brain washing machine, Madison Avenue, the

T.V., radio, magazines, and newspapers perpetrate all this on us. As I

mentioned before of how these corporations control the way we think and of

course if they can control the way we think, then the game is over and they have

won. They are the winners and we are the losers. Newspapers dont give the

other side of the story, just whatever drug companies and the medical profession

say, then this is the Bible. Only a grass roots people movement will help the

elimination of myths, lies, and theories. However, we must be able to hear the

opposite view, Vince and Trudeau. Do you find it odd that Trudeaus book is not

on T.V. or in the newspapers? Do you ask why? You should as the media

carefully tells us only what they want us to know.

It has to start with us, with people thinking and then telling someone else

and they tell someone else and so forth. When the Atkins Diet came into vogue,

people were realizing that if they ate fats and proteins they were going to lose

weight. And, they realized if they ate carbohydrates, they were going to gain

weight. I think it was two or three weeks ago some time in March 2007, it was on

T.V. and all over the newspapers that out of all the diets tested the Atkins Diet

was the best for weight loss. Well, the Eskimos knew that, the Rocky Mountain

Men knew that, the American Plains Indians knew that and the Masai in Africa

knew that and so did the Balari in South America. But why ask them? They are

merely simple uneducated primitive people.

Economics, not our health dictate our eating habits. However, for the time

being Calories will continue to be promoted in the mass media forever and ever.

After all, everyone knows that Calories are the standard for judging weight loss

and weight gain. Moreover, as I mentioned before in 1895 everyone knew that

man could not fly and of course, today everybody knows that eggs cause heart

attacks and in medieval times, everyone knew that the world was flat. The fact is

that out dated myths die ever so slowly.

Not to change the subject but, I just had to insert this. Did you hear about

the disk jockey somewhere in the East that was trying to see who could drink the

most amount of water? A woman drank 2-1/2 gallons of water and died.

Therefore, be sure to read my article about water. Unfortunately, our philosophy

isif some is good more must be better. If you look around, you will see that

Calories are the standard and nobody wants to talk about anything else. Fast

food ads on T.V., womens and mens publications, grocery stores, food labeling,


6/12

6

gyms, health shops, all exercise regimens, food charts, doctors food charts,

insurance company charts, exercise equipment and it just goes infinitely on!

In fact, here is a funny ad that I saw on T.V., they had this exercise

lady/personal trainer talking about Idaho potatoes telling you how good Idaho

potatoes were and how you get energy from Idaho potatoes. And she was

saying that this potato only had 100 Calories but she forgot to say conveniently

that potatoes like beans, rice, grains, soybeans, oats, and barley are all starches.

Starches are high, very high in carbohydrates and thats the reason were so sick

and obese but she forgot to mention that, and was well paid to say that.

Of course, the myth that everything is based totally on Calories for weight

loss and weight gain is not going to go away because we cannot kill the goose

that laid the golden egg. MDs especially keep pounding the Calories to you.

They do not want you to argue with them because they are right and everybody

else is wrong. By the way, Vince Gironda never minced his words; he once said

that MDs were the dumbest people he had ever met. He also said that stupid

people do not listen. This is why he would not talk to stupid people and would

throw them out of his gym. Again, thats the Homer Simpson mentality. Vince

once stated that when it comes to food, nutrition, and exercise MDs were the

dumbest people that he ever met.

Here is an example of something frightening, I just did a consultation with

a young nurse named Michelle, and she was terrified, I mean this lady was

terrified of the high Calorie fat foods, so she had taken everything fat out of her

diet and was a sick puppy. I spent three hours with her and I think she finally

saw the light and she was going to start eating eggs, meat, fish, chicken, butter,


7/12

flax oil, and good fats and take the margarine out of her refrigerator. Again, this

is what she was taught in nursing school. She was taught a lie. I said it so

penetrated her mind that she was afraid of anything that had fat in it. I mean she

was literally terrified of it! Remember, all fats are high in Calories.

My second example is of a fellow who called me a couple of weeks ago

when he called me for a consultation. He was trying to gain size. He was

reading these exercise magazines and the body building magazines and they

were telling him that in order to gain size you just have to consume more

Calories, so thats what he was doing. As I said, he was just consuming Calories

from anything that was high in Calories and he was getting fat. I told him that he

had to get that myth out of his mind, as Vince said protein builds muscle tissue

and you cannot utilize protein with out fat, so I hoped he listened. He said that

he now understood what Vince and I were talking about, and I hope so.

As I stated previously in this article, I am going to give you two valid

reasons that I think will awaken you so you can see the light of this Calorie myth.

Valid Reason #1 - I think people probably over the age of 35 have heard

of Ron Love. Ron was from Detroit and he was a very prominent bodybuilder in

the 80s here in Michigan. He traveled the world and entered many, many major

contests including the Mr. Olympia. In 1987, I helped him with his training and

diet a.k.a. Vince Gironda and Ron went on to win either his third or fourth major

contest. He took Junior America hands down. You have to remember that in the

mid 80s on up the myth of the complex carbohydrate era took over in

bodybuilding.

Now, fats and proteins were out and people were eating complex

carbohydrates, which was the magic name that the marketers put on it. Well,

Ron embraced Vince; he thought Vince knew what he was talking about.

Therefore, Ron went on his meat and egg diet and his definition routine, and I

was working on Vinces movements with him at Muscles Gym and mapping out

the diet for him. After that, Ron won Junior America easily. In fact, he was so

ripped that the contestants in the contest were calling him for weeks after asking

him how he got so ripped. Ron told them he was consuming 8,500 Calories of

nothing but fats and proteins, exactly what Vince and I laid out for him.

He was so shredded he just walked out on stage and everyone knew that

he won the contest, it was so one sided. Everybody kept saying oh no, no thats

not right; youre going to die of a heart attack. You have to eat complex

carbohydrates and of course, the Homer Simpson mentality took over because

complex carbohydrates are starches. Starches are converted to sugar and the

human body is not built of sugar, as the second most abundant substance in the

human body is protein next to water. They didnt listen to what Hippocrates said

that the word protein means most important and carbohydrates are secondary. It

took off and everybody embraced it because the media said this is the way it is

now! Therefore, fats and proteins were now pass after 500,000 years.

Ron was so elated that when I saw him a few weeks after the contest he

said, you know I would kiss you but youre a guy. He could not believe it and

even his peers wouldnt believe it. You see how deep brain washing can

penetrate a persons psyche and thats dangerous. Anyway, as I said Ron was

eating 8,500 Calories but what would he have looked liked if he would have


9/12

9

eaten 8,000 Calories of sugar and carbohydrates and more sugar and

carbohydrates? He would have looked like a slob. You get my point. Most

people dont think, only intelligent people think and question everything. Homer

Simpson never does and again that is why Vince said you couldnt talk to stupid

people, as their not going to listen.

Valid Reason #2 - medical science tells us that (according to their

calculations) every pound of weight on the human body, fat etc. contains 3,500

Calories. So, again we are going to initiate this Calorie theory. Then they say if

you take so many Calories out you are going to lose weight. Now, they say that

if you exercise you are going to burn more Calories so dont put as many calories

in and exercise and youre going to burn more Calories. Confusing isnt it! Okay,

now people start to get on the treadmill and run for hours or they get on the street

with their Nikes on and they run for hours.

Forgetting about the pituitary, the hypothalamus, the thyroid, the adrenals,

and your endocrine and throwing them out the window, now we come back to its

Calories. Let me give you the fallacy of all of these Calories as equated to

exercise. Do you know one hour of extremely vigorous exercise for example;

running as fast has you can burns 750 Calories? Did you know that? Thats the

joke. Now, in order to burn one pound of fat you would have to run as fast and

as far as you can for about 4-1/2 hours. What human being in the world can do

that? Thats a nice way to kill yourself!

However, they say if you run for a half an hour you will burn 1,500

Calories. So, youve lost weight, right? Another joke, youve lost weight, see

there it is, its so simple isnt it, its so simple, and its so stupid. Because I have


10/12

10

seen people that have exercised, their brains out and never lost a pound invoking

the Calorie theory. Nevertheless, the minute I straighten their thyroid out, their

pituitary, their hypothalamus, and their adrenals, cleanse their colon, and get

them to eat fats and proteins and digest their food all of a sudden they lose

weight.

Like Rheo Blair and Vince Gironda used to say they could put you to bed

and give you the right nutrition, the right supplements and you would lose weight.

So exercise now, I just proved is worthless. Here is an example of Vinces theory

on abdominal training. Lets say someone told you that to burn the fat off your

waist, you had to do one thousand sit-ups, leg raises, twists, side bends, and

crunches before bedtime. (A.k.a T.V. commercials for Ab-Trimmers) and when

you woke up your waist was pencil thin. A lie of course! However, your stomach

is now sore as hell! What is sore the muscle or the fat! Got it! You cant

exercise body fat, as its the diet and endocrines as Vince stated. Youre going

to kill yourself plus when you are exercising to that degree with that intensity,

your hormone levels are going to drop big time! Just like a women that came to

my office that ran and ran and ran and ran and at 28 years old her hormone

levels were so depleted that she no longer had a menstrual cycle. Therefore, if

you want to embrace the Calorie theory thats up to you but folks its not going to

work!

Vince was right, the Masai were right, the American Plains Indians were

right, everybody was right except the Calorie people. Again, it is not going to die.

So I hope I have enlightened you with that one and every time I tell that story, I

end up laughing and people around me end up laughing. But as a guy in the


11/12

11

60s named Bob Dylan said, the times they are a changing. Now, I can see a

little light at the end of the tunnel and I will tell you why. I mentioned that on T.V.

Atkins was the best diet for losing weight and Im running into more and more

people who are taking a dim view of medical doctors and drug companies,

seeing them for what their motives really are profits!

God bless Kevin Trudeau because he is shaking people up. Hes shaking

them up to the degree that they want to put this guy in jail. Therefore, you see

Vince Gironda was a voice in the wind but his voice and Kevin Trudeaus voice

and the truth is starting to rise up from grass roots of informed and intelligent

people. People to a degree are finally starting to see the truth but thats why

medical doctors, drug companies, and fast food companies advertise more and

more and more and more. They want to get your mind off the truth, even right

now the status quo you can see its being shattered, their talking about insulin

resistance, their talking about low glycymic foods on T.V., magazine and news

papers.

You notice that medical doctors are not coming out saying its

carbohydrates but talking about insulin resistance, which is sugar not calories

from fats! They are starting to realize that if you are a diabetic; to eat

carbohydrates its like throwing gasoline on a fire. Its changing, but just to a

degree. They are still trying to stamp our voices out, just as they tried to muzzle

Vince and call him a heretic and an idiot that didnt know what he was talking

about. The truth frightens people when they hear it!

Of course, the bible says the truth will set you free. Drug companies and

medical doctors are not going to cave into to this. Because if they caved into all


12/12

12

of their false rhetoric they would look foolish and have to admit that theyre wrong

again! Of course, MDs and drug companies will never say that they are sorry or

admit that they have been wrong! Therefore, at least there is a little light at the

end of the tunnel. Whether the Calorie myth is showing a little light at the end of

the tunnel, thats speculation but at least people are talking about it. Well, I

enjoyed doing this article because it makes life worth it. As always, like Vince, I

feel I might be able to make a difference. I appreciate you reading and listening.

Remember, if you have any questions dont forget to give me a call.

Thanks
