00:01 From low-carb donuts to low-carb dog food
00:03 and everything in between, is it 00:06 biblically sound or did you really care? 00:09 Today's program is entitled curbing 00:11 the carbs. We'll be right back. 00:38 Hi. Welcome to Abundant Living and this 00:40 is my beautiful wife, honey. Okay, 00:45 the program. Hi. The camera says 00:47 rolling baby. Honey. Okay, what are you 00:48 reading? Honey. This is kind of rude. 00:51 I am reading this magazine from Time 00:52 Magazine and it's got a article in it, 00:54 first of all you got a lady with the hole. 00:55 The Low Carb Nation the lady got a hole 00:58 in the bread and she is smiling in 00:59 between the whole. Yes indeed. Oh my goodness. 01:01 And it says that nutrition's are horrified 01:03 but they can't stop the forces that is 01:05 reshaping the food industry and our bodies. 01:08 Oh my goodness. Well I tell you what the 01:10 nutritionist might be horrified like myself 01:11 right now but believe me when I tell you, 01:13 we're going to get a grip on this one here. 01:15 Yeah. Okay. We got two programs for this book, 01:16 yes okay so now. What are they saying in that 01:20 article there in Time magazine. Well let me 01:21 tell you, one of things that, one of things going 01:23 on right now in that, there's almost every 01:25 manufacturer that's out there. 01:26 I am not gonna call their names out that 01:28 we know well known manufacturers; 01:30 they are so much into this carb-hype, 01:32 no carb until they've actually now going 01:34 to a whole new series of foods that are 01:36 called a low carb or no carb foods. 01:39 Have mercy. Okay. Lots, lots of money 01:41 is being spent on that. Now the ADA of course 01:43 once again wants to come back out and 01:44 remind us about. Now the ADA is, 01:46 American Dietetic Association. 01:48 Yeah American Dietetic Association, okay, 01:49 along with the Food and Drug Administration. 01:51 We call its kind of warlords when it 01:52 comes to, okay. Nutrition and information 01:54 that we get in the public sector. Right. 01:56 And they made a comment about these 01:58 six fad diets that it wants to remind 02:00 us about diets that do not work. 02:02 Okay, here we go six fads. 02:04 And one that we called, the magic diet 02:06 or we call miracle foods and you hear 02:08 about that a lot on TV and sometime in 02:10 newspapers and anyway they don't work; 02:12 you know talking about they'll burn ex-number 02:14 of calories and all that, that's not true. 02:15 So particular food that just, just does a 02:18 miracle thing. And it called miracle food, 02:19 yes. Okay, whatever that is. 02:21 And I am not gonna name it because you know 02:22 what I used to name things and people will 02:23 be sitting there watching TV and say 02:25 I'm write that down we'll get that makes 02:26 me so I am not anymore tell you now. 02:28 We're not gonna name it okay. Okay. 02:29 And then of course rapid weight loss you'll 02:30 always see articles and magazines 02:32 and television talk about how you can lose five 02:34 or ten pounds a week. We know that the ideal 02:38 way to lose weight is no more than one 02:40 or two pounds a week. Okay let's say that again 02:42 now. We're not talking about five or ten pounds 02:44 a week, five or ten, some talk about, 02:45 but how much per week is safe guide? 02:47 A safe guideline we're talking one or two 02:48 pounds a week, a week. I know you're saying 02:50 that doesn't seem like a lot but if you say, 02:52 let's just say we said before on other program, 02:54 two pounds a week. Okay two pounds a week 02:57 times four that's eight pounds a month. 02:58 All right that's more understandable 03:01 and also the reason why they say that 03:03 you can lose five or ten pounds in one week 03:05 guaranteed is because they know that 03:08 you're not gonna get your money back from them. 03:09 Because you're gonna lose that water weight 03:11 along with water weight you're gonna also 03:13 lose muscle which is very crucial for the 03:15 body system. So that you're not really 03:17 losing in the first initial phase or 03:18 some of these diets, no fat, not fat. No. 03:21 But losing weight. That's right. 03:23 And there's a big difference. That's right. 03:24 We'll probably go into that the next time 03:25 we meet. And then how many times that 03:27 we've seen the one that comes on and it says 03:28 "eat all you want to eat, no exercise, 03:30 you're gonna lose weight now." 03:31 All that you have tried out but you know 03:33 that doesn't work right. These are no exercise. 03:35 But it gives them permission not to 03:37 exercise and you know all of them, 03:39 those who bought. That's why we wanted do, 03:40 not exercise. Yes. We want that permission, 03:41 Yes okay, goes another one. 03:43 And then of course there's bizarre diets out, 03:44 things like all grapefruit diet. 03:46 Okay, all fruits by itself or some type 03:51 of a meat item whatever it get into that. 03:53 So it's not a way of balanced type diet. 03:55 Cabbage soup. Well these are diets that 03:57 people get on and something might happen 03:58 for the first couple of days but I always have 04:00 said this is not repeated again. 04:02 Any diet that you're not willing to do 04:05 for the rest of your life it should go in file 13 04:08 that's the trash can 'cause it's not gonna 04:09 work. Okay, well. All right then of course 04:11 you hear articles about combining foods. 04:13 Okay. Certain foods you put together 04:15 that they'll make the system toxic. 04:16 Well what can you say with that one honey. 04:20 Leave it alone. Leave it alone. 04:21 Okay, another one. Okay and then of course 04:23 the last one, last one, number six is they 04:24 call them, limiting your foods, of course it's 04:27 getting on one type of food item, just one. 04:29 I remember when I was teaching class, 04:31 we talked about Zin, macrobiotic diet, 04:33 where people all the way down just doing 04:35 brown rice. All they eat this brown rice 04:36 continuously. Right. Once again not enough 04:38 nutrition. The body needs nutrition, 04:41 that's ADA's comments to us telling us 04:43 be careful of those fad diets, they don't work 04:45 which bring us inline to this one about the. 04:48 The low carb and is here to stay, 04:51 I mean it's gaining steam I mean it's 04:53 like a snow ball rolling down hill. 04:55 Is a matter of fact. It's gaining momentum. 04:56 Of course on the stats when I was reading 04:58 into article, yeah what is in the stats, 04:59 it was saying, and how many people engaged 05:01 in this? This is from the center for disease 05:02 and control, okay, and prevention 05:04 and talks about the fact that from poor diets 05:06 and lack of exercises actually killed 400,000 05:10 Americans in the year 2000. 05:12 Americans! 400,000 Americans. 05:15 Now when we talk about lack of diet, 05:17 eating right and lack of exercise, 05:20 what we're talking about is that these 05:21 bring on major killer diseases. Okay. 05:23 Heart disease, diabetes, cancer and 05:26 they like all those are a part of that. 05:27 So it's actually major killer diseases that 05:29 come in as a result of you not eating right 05:31 and not exercising. Okay. That figure also is 05:34 almost it seem to those who died from heart 05:36 disease. Are from heart disease. 05:37 Yeah, almost half a million. 05:39 And also 435,000 individuals died the 05:42 same year 2000 from tobacco smoke. 05:45 Oh okay. So it's actually on line with that. 05:46 Sure is. And of course with the diabetes 05:48 running rampant right now. Okay. A 175 million 05:51 Americans are with diabetes, its been 05:53 estimated by the year 2030 that there will 05:56 actually be 366 million Americans that will be 06:00 diabetics. Oh my goodness. 06:01 Curtis in this amount the ADA has already 06:04 said that 58 million Americans are overweight 06:07 and over half of that amount of individuals 06:10 are on some type of diet program. 06:12 And you know that's very crucial and 06:14 critical for us. And not to mention the children, 06:16 because there's a trend for children obesity, 06:20 absolutely, absolutely. So we are the fattest 06:22 nation on earth folks I mean this is not 06:23 one thing we can really brag about. 06:25 And 30 billion dollars spent on diabetics. 06:28 30 million or billion, billion, did you say billion? 06:30 Every single year low carb diets or diets 06:33 in general. That's right. I think that we need 06:37 to define the word carbohydrates. 06:38 Okay, I think you're right that's a good idea. 06:40 And before we can talk about this topic 06:42 intelligently, we must define the verse, 06:45 we know what we're talking about. 06:46 I remember over 40 years ago, 06:48 I was in grade school which means I'm over 40. 06:50 The teacher used to tell me Curtis, 06:52 if you don't know what the word means, 06:54 look at the root verse of that word. 06:56 If you can define a root word or verse of 06:59 a verb then you can define what that word 07:01 means. So now I did that. 07:03 And when this low carb diet came into being 07:05 of course several years ago, really back 07:07 in the 70s or early 70s and I know some 07:10 people were practicing that then and I was a 07:12 former bodybuilder and right before a contest 07:15 before they go on stage and fix their 07:16 muscles they would eat nothing but steak 07:19 and water, about maybe three weeks 07:21 before a contest. And it will cut off the fat 07:23 they'd be real trimmed. I didn't do that but I 07:26 was doing carbohydrates, 07:28 so this was going on for over 30 years 07:30 or so by the way looking at the word 07:32 itself, she say if you can define the root 07:34 verse of a word then you can define 07:36 that word. So let's look at that carbohydrate, 07:40 look at the first part of that word Carbo. 07:43 The word Carbo comes from the word Carbon. 07:47 It's one of most prolific elements 07:50 known to mankind. It's found in all living 07:54 organisms, animals and humans have 07:58 carbon, it's for combustion, it gives 08:00 us energy, all right. Carbon is what fuels 08:07 the body as gas that fuels the automobile. 08:11 Therefore when we taking food that has 08:13 carbohydrates, gives us combustion, 08:17 gives us energy, then we are able to move 08:19 and function. Then when we breathe out 08:22 the by-product of that through our lungs, 08:24 we call that carbon dioxide. 08:28 Now just like the automobile and when 08:31 back in the 70s we have to, the gas was 08:33 about well 35 cents a gallon and 41 cents 08:36 for premium, I remember that back 08:38 in the 70s, we may not find that again 08:40 but anyway, I remember 08:41 some guys they would have a four barrel 08:44 carb under the hood which means more 08:46 energy, more combustion and so 08:49 there is more gasoline. So when a car drives 08:51 down the street the end product of that 08:53 comes from the exhaust and we call 08:56 that carbon monoxide, all right. 08:59 So again carburetor comes from word carb, 09:03 carb, carburetor, carbohydrates, carb, 09:07 carbon for the body. Now the second part 09:10 of that word is hydrate. Now of course it would 09:14 dehydrate it that means that we don't 09:16 have enough water in our bodies. 09:18 So therefore hydrate means we have water. 09:21 The body is made up of water, 63 percent 09:24 of water or sometimes even more based on 09:27 whatever book you look at. 09:28 So again the body is made up of carbon, 09:32 the body is made up of water therefore 09:36 it seems to reason that we need foods 09:39 that contain carbohydrate 09:43 if nothing else is said, we need 09:46 carbohydrates for energy for combustion. 09:49 I like the way you explained that, 09:51 because I am gonna tell you right now 09:52 as a woman if I'm gonna talk about 09:54 that car thing, I didn't go there first thing, 09:57 You didn't go there. You began to explain 09:58 that better and better and I think 09:59 all of us got that one Curtis. 10:01 Okay and I hopefully my teacher was watching 10:03 see maybe proud of me because I did 10:05 remember her saying that over 40 years ago. 10:07 You did a good job. Yeah. You did good. 10:08 But so now that we have defined the term, 10:10 yes, now we can talk about this topic 10:13 more intelligently for the next two times 10:15 that we meet. Because we're gonna be 10:16 dealing with this topic for the next two times 10:18 we meet, carbohydrates, the low carbohydrates. 10:20 Now you talked about the carbohydrates 10:23 from the scientific standpoint, the body 10:25 chemistry standpoint. I want to know what 10:28 is the word of God have to say about the 10:31 carbohydrates. Okay about carbohydrates 10:34 and low carbs and word of God, okay. 10:36 You know the word of God, it has 10:38 principles for living, for relationships, 10:41 for finance and for everything in life that 10:45 we find ourselves engaged in. 10:47 Health is without exception and what 10:50 we eat as well, now this first graphic may 10:53 seem out of place but let's look at it 10:56 first of all. The origin of mankind, 10:58 this is Genesis chapter 2 and verse 7, 11:01 and the Bible says "God formed man of 11:05 the dust of the ground, and breathed 11:09 into his nostrils the breath of life; 11:13 and man became a living soul." 11:20 Okay now you may say to yourself what 11:23 in the world does that text have to do with, 11:26 the low carb diet or diets in general. Yes. 11:29 Let me make the connection with you. 11:30 Now a lot of people don't know this and, 11:32 we travel quite a bit and we mention this 11:35 to a lot of individuals and they're very 11:36 surprised. One low carb diet in particular 11:40 has its philosophy based on evolution, 11:46 there's another diet that's not low carb 11:48 and there's another diet out there that 11:50 also base its philosophy on evolution. 11:54 And when anybody or any company or 11:56 any organization does that, it snatches 12:00 away God the creator. Yes. It snatches 12:04 away his authority as far as His creative 12:07 power is concerned. Therefore mankind 12:11 was created by God. Now the other days 12:14 of creation He spoke and is to fast the sun, 12:18 the moon, the stars, the grass, the herbs etc. 12:22 When He came to mankind, the crowning 12:25 act of His creation, He fashioned it with 12:29 His own hands dust from the ground. 12:33 Yes. Then He fashioned mankind. 12:35 Man at that point was a dead soul, 12:40 then God did not mouth to mouth but mouth 12:43 to nose resuscitation. He breathed into man's 12:48 nostrils the breath of life. After that man 12:54 became a living soul. So a soul is not 12:58 something that you have is soul is who you are. 13:01 We don't have a soul, we are a soul. 13:04 Now to say otherwise, it means that it takes 13:08 away God's creative power and that's 13:11 why this one low carb diet in particular, 13:14 He even says that in His introduction 13:16 and other diet that's not low carb 13:18 but it also based on evolution, 13:20 that in itself to any Bible believing Christian 13:24 that is a automatic red flag, 13:27 if nothing else is said. So again we are created 13:30 by God not by evolution. So let's look at this, 13:34 we have God the Father of creation, 13:37 we have Charles Darwin, the Father of evolution. 13:41 God is alive and well. Charles Darwin is dead 13:47 and gone. Yet we choose some people this diet 13:51 and it's based on some of these diets on 13:54 evolution. So that's automatically reflects. 13:57 So it's not based on Biblical principles, 13:59 one diet in particular the low carb and then 14:01 another diet that's not low carb is based on 14:03 the evolution as well. Well I guess you are saying 14:05 to yourself, I sure wish he would tell me who 14:07 that is and what that book is. Okay but, 14:09 but you got to make sure you stay by. 14:11 That's right stay back. Don't give it all to 14:13 them in just one program, we can come 14:15 back. We talk them other time, yeah. 14:16 We can come back. Yeah. And you know 14:18 and Satan, well he's so deceptive about this 14:22 is that, it gives us a benefit. 14:24 Satan's attempt is to destroy God's crowning 14:29 act which is us. Absolutely. Mankind. 14:32 Absolutely. To know the enemy and to 14:35 destroy the enemy we must know more 14:37 about that enemy, so Satan has studied by 14:40 one inspired writer Anatomy and physiology. 14:43 He has studied the way this body works and 14:45 functions. The heart, the lungs, 14:46 the kidneys, he knows how we work. 14:49 Therefore to put a diet that is contrary 14:54 to way our bodies is made up know that 14:56 it will really decrease the body function 14:59 and the functionality of the human system. 15:03 But he knows that if the benefit can be 15:05 attached to it, then we'll buy in to it. 15:08 And the benefit is I am losing weight. 15:11 That's the benefit therefore more people 15:13 are deceived because the benefit is attached 15:15 to it and they buy into the benefit without 15:17 looking at the long term effect of this low 15:19 carb diet. And don't we also want a quick fix. 15:22 That's right, something easy. 15:24 We will think about our society the way we 15:25 live now. Yes. It's more about how fast can 15:27 I get it, how quick can I get it. 15:28 Without having to give up what we don't 15:30 want to eat. We don't wanna sweat or 15:33 wear ourselves. But I like that part when you 15:34 said about the creator God because in the 15:36 book of Psalms, David says we are so 15:38 wonderfully and magnificently made. 15:41 Exactly. You know and so just the 15:43 integrates of studying anatomy, 15:44 physiology of the body and how the body 15:46 work and a body needs to have good nutrition. 15:49 That's right. For it to be able to function 15:50 properly. What about the original diet, 15:53 the first diet. Okay, let's take a look at the 15:55 first diet and let's see after mankind was made 15:58 by God the Creator. He gave them foods to 16:01 eat, their first diet, Genesis 1:29 and also 16:03 Genesis 3:18 there's such a new international 16:06 version, and the Bible says, I, God is talking 16:09 here. I give you our first parents every 16:13 seed-bearing, I want to emphasize the word 16:17 plant. Every tree that has fruit, 16:21 they would be yours for food. 16:24 You will eat the plants of the field. 16:29 There by God's first diet for mankind is a 16:33 plant based diet. Now you'll notice fruit was 16:40 mentioned as one into food groups in there. 16:43 It's really diametrically opposed to a low carb 16:46 diet because a low carb diet. 16:48 The first phase in a way will eliminate our 16:52 food, yet fruit is the first thing that was 16:55 mentioned in God's original plant based diet 16:58 for mankind. Carbohydrates, plants 17:00 from the field, vegetation, roots and also 17:04 plants from the tree the fruit. 17:06 All those of carbohydrates, the low 17:09 carb diet is low on carbohydrates and 17:13 high in fats and protein. You know its there 17:16 the plant based diet, it does not contain 17:18 any animal protein and very small amount of 17:21 plant based protein because there's not a 17:23 whole lot protein in plant base. 17:25 So again it's diametrically opposed to a 17:28 low carb diet, God's original plant based diet. 17:32 It's high in carbohydrates and low in 17:34 fat and protein. Well I kind of remember 17:38 when we had this whole craze about the 17:40 mad cow, hoof and mouth and all those 17:42 different things that came out not too long 17:43 ago, and of course the meat and milk and 17:47 kind of eggs and cheese kind of went down 17:48 because Americans had that fear factor 17:50 coming in about the mad cow and of course 17:52 right behind that all of a sudden is the no 17:55 carb. That's right. And it is always something 17:57 going on and that's why you really need 17:59 to read for yourself and read good information. 18:03 And listen to programs like ours, where we 18:04 try to go and look all the scientific data out 18:08 there, along with anatomy, physiology and 18:10 of course as you always know on Abundant 18:12 Living using the word of God as our other 18:15 back up that you know what the creator God 18:18 really wants for us and how He is so 18:19 concerned about us. Amen, that's right. 18:21 You know and so I know you're saying, 18:23 are we going in the kitchen, the answer is 18:24 yes, as a matter of fact Curtis we're gonna 18:26 fix a dish today which is a Creole Brown 18:29 Rice. So get your paper and pencil 18:31 and meet us in the kitchen. |
