I’m sure my nut butter habit is making me out weight on!?

[OverwateredCheeseplant]

I’m obsessed with almond butter. I have it on toast twice a day. Since this habit started I’ve developed a bit of a tummy and my jeans are tight! I watch what I eat and my habits haven’t changed in any other way. I thought nut butters were meant to be healthy?!

adly ‘healthy’ websites and instagrams such as deliciously Ella have become endless ads for sweet products. I remember she once made a dessert with an absolute shit load of coconut oil and maple syrup in. You can imagine that it’s a healthy way to have a sweet but it’s not, you may ask well have cheese cake.

totally agree

The 'sugar free natural and healthy' baking shit that people come out with. What makes it so sweet? Oh, the shit ton of agave you put in??? Right. Which is actually worse than refined white sugar... Think I'll pass.

I'm not sure there's a great pro wheat conspiracy amongst a large group of scientists but If it works for you that's all that matters. I'm not sure NHS overcrowding can be laid at the door of wheat either.

William Davis MD has no axe to grind.

Come on, come on. Think a little here.

He has the major axe to grind which is to make money for himself by publishing a sensational populist book which makes wild claims with zero evidence.

Here's a good rule of thumb: if a physician or scientist publishes a book meant for general consumption, it means their work is almost certainly too faulty to pass peer review. It means the physician chose the path of least resistance (and most money) rather than actually contributing something meaningful to the scientific/medical canon

Well I'd prefer the evidence of a doctor who publishes the results of his work with his human patients , rather than an enormous pharmaceutical company that seems to think that rats, mice etc etc. are the same as humans and spends billions often hiding (or even changing) the inconvenient, to them, results of their experiments ;see Ben Goldacre .
