9 grams of sugar max per day wouldn't allow for juice of any fruit. ? That's absurd. Even plain greek yogurts have more sugar than that.
There's a lot of conflicting data out ther and it is very confusing. Carbs are good carbs are bad , eat dairy, no don't. Seriously a good personal nutritionist probably a better idea.
There are a lot of "doctors" who give advice then tell you you need their supplements, everyone elses sucks, because yes they are in it to make money from you buying from them. They're not trying to give good advice just looking to keep you as confused as possible so you by their products.
Neutral source please!
Good luck to you0 -
no good carbs or bad carbs - so eating 50 calories of broccoli (ewww) does the same for you as eating 50 calories of skittles?0

No. Clearly skittles are magical!:laugh:
Why won't this thread just die?0 -
Because wrk gurl went and dug it up.
And no skittles aren't magic - your thinking of peanut butter m & m's (mmmmmmmm)0 -

No, no. They have some good fats. Way too healthy. Way too little emphasis on just calories.0 -
10 - All supplements are not created equal....Vitamin Shoppe/GNC/ETC are cheap supplements and don't realy make a difference. He sells one in his office though called Standard Process and they are amazing. The others are made from oil/tar and are petroleum based products but the ones he sells are from real foods.
Ding Ding Ding!
Is he a Beachbody coach too?
No. Beachbody coaches are quacks with no real knowledge.
Just like most chiropractors ... including this one.0 -

No ... but I like looking at hot beach bodies.
Six weekends worth of seminars is all it takes for ACN "certification" ... and the OP either takes their crap seriously or hopefully trolls and realizes what stupidity they listened to.0 -
I'm so glad this got bumped so hopefully others can learn this valuable information as well.0

Load of crap.0

Load of crap.
Are you a doctor? Are you a scientist who has completed lots of unbiased peer reviewed studies? Or did you just stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night?0 -

The only valuable information in this thread is that you are either a troll or extremely gullible.
The person who spoke at your work is neither a doctor or scientist. They are, by your own admission, a chiropractor who touts his ACN certification (6 weekends of seminars and you can get the engraved plaque for your wall). Luckily for the guest speaker, people like you exist so they can continue to make money off the foolishness of others.0 -

:laugh: You're one to talk. "Well, he's a Dr!!" Of Chiro. That does not make him a dietitian, or give him any formal training in nutrition.0 -

Read the thread! He's also a nutritionist.0 -

He's not trying to make money. Just to help people....Not everyone in this world is so greedy....sheesh.0 -

Sounds like a great salesman, selling his sponsored products
Most doctors say detox is a gimmick, your body can do it on its own. All detoxing does is speed it up by making you need the loo more.12 - Detoxing is great but only if you are up for it. You need to eat right and exercise first before starting your full body cleanse. He did a detox once when his body wasn't ready and ended up with hyperthyroidism. He started eating right though and it fixed itself.
9-10 people? Out of what? 100? 1000? 1000000?16 - You should do a parasite protocol every year because 9-10 people have parasites inside of them.0 -
One of many problems with this post:
"8 - You should only eat a max of 72g of carbs and 9g sugar per day."
If this was circa 2003, I would have been waiting for Ashton Kutcher to come running out behind the guy after his little "speech".
You got "Punk'd", and if you follow these guidelines, you will be ridiculously unhealthy.0 -
Amazing0

What??? :huh: :huh: :noway:0

Also, I'm studying to be a holistic nutritionist, and this guy gives the field a bad name!0

Chiropractors aren't really doctors.What kind of doctor is he? I understand that anyone can call themselves a "nutritionist" without any credentials.
I would be skeptical of his information, especially since he seems to be selling something. Was there any scientific results backing up his claims?
Oh ye of little faith...... "xxxxxxxx D.C., A.C.N. is a Chiropractor and Applied Clinical Nutritionist who specializes in weight loss through nutrition and other natural methods" There are also lots of testimonials on his site so he must know what he's doing.
And this, lol. Was he an MD? Did he have a PhD in anything? No? Then he's not a doctor.
Can you clarify the bit about putting your fingers together and the magic energy from food determining how strong your hand gets, or something?0 -
In for the later since the gifs aren't coming through at work0
-
No, but my sister in law is, and she says most of the post is crap.Are you a doctor?
A nutritionist and ACN are not licensed doctors, anyone can call themselves a nutritionist and ACN without any training, degrees, etc, and you'd get more qualified advice from someone working in a McDonalds0 -

As he told you what brand of supplements to buy and gets paid to spout such utter nonsense that nobody with a basic understanding of the human body would ever believe them. Again ... luckily for people like this speaker, there are people like you in the world. PT Barnum spoke of your type and the alarming frequency at which your kind enters the world.0 -
And just because someone is or other similar qualifications, doesn't have to mean they are more educated on subject.No, but my sister in law is, and she says most of the post is crap.
I had a lovely case a bit after I had some work done on the metal in my leg... went in to A&E explaining that I had the symptoms for DVT and would like to get it checked out just in case.
Doctor assured me it wasn't etc, but did tests anyway.
By the time I got home (I'd done some shopping or something while in town) there was an apologetic and rather flustered call from said doctor asking me to call back ASAP and arrange to have a proper test because it turns out I was right and all the signs were there.
As it goes, it ended up that it wasn't anything to worry about when I had ultrasound, but in this case my research certainly trumped the doctor's despite me having no qualifications anywhere near (hell, no qualifications past 6 GCSEs
). 0 -

Lakes and streams are swollen
Fingers nearly frozen, Walleye
Through wind and rainy weather
We're in this boat together
Six packs, lures and leeches by our side
I've been drowning shiners
Searching with depth finders
Tryin' to get a big one on the line
CHORUS:
Bait 'em up, cast 'em out
Cast 'em out, bait 'em up
Bait 'em up, cast 'em out, Walleye
Gut 'em out, fry 'em up
Fry 'em up, gut 'em out
Gut 'em out, fry 'em up, Walleye0 -
