Chapter 10 of “The Fat Loss Bible” discusses what you’ll actually be eating. Anthony Colpo makes sure you have enough details to understand not only the foods that you’ll be eating, but while you’ll be eating them. It’s this attention to detail that makes this book a winner in my eyes. It not only discusses the actual food, but when you’ll eat your food.

“The Fat Loss Bible” discusses how farming changed the way we eat on a daily basis, and how we shifted from more proteins to more carbohydrates, based on foods we were now growing to market. Looking at the staples of things such as grain-based cereals, the book looks at changes in health records and life span. Changes in things like iron deficiency, as well as dental issues came right along with this agricultural shift. Next we look at how things became refined, and nutritional value was slowly being depleted from our foods. We have convenient food, but where is the nutritional content? Now we wanted our favorite foods to last for a long time, and we wanted to be able to grab them, make them fast, and taste good, regardless of the cost of our health.

If you’d like to learn more about things such as cholesterol, you’ll find another book by Anthony Colpo, called “The Great Cholesterol Con”.

The Fat Loss Bible takes a look at modern diseases as well, and it’s quite interesting to see the correlation. Things have changed, as have our diets over the years. You know, when you see the percentage of time we’ve made the change, it’s startling to realize it’s been in front of our faces all this time, staring at us, and we just ignore these facts.

Are you kidding me? Some of these nutrients I thought I was supposed to get, aren’t doing what I’ve been told, and maybe I’m being fed information based on what people want me to buy. Sure, sure, I understand commercialization of products, but seriously, some of these things, I shouldn’t have spent the time, money or energy on. Fascinating stuff, when you look at it. It smacks you of truth, you can’t deny it, it’s just that I’ve been force fed garbage information for so long, I go along with the “latest report”, and man, are we going in the wrong direction. This just makes common sense to me, as I read it.

It’s like a light bulb has clicked on.

I love the list of recommended foods. That will make my shopping easier. I also like there’s a list of foods to have in moderation, so that I can mix things up time to time. It’s not a tiny list either. I hate when you see a food list, and you’re given about 5 or 6 options. That’s just too limiting. Even better is the “not recommended list”.  Can I just say wow? I’m blown away at some of the foods listed on that list. Who knew? WOW, seriously? Wow! I’m printing those puppies out and keeping it in my purse.

There’s an excerpt at the end of Chapter 10 about Multi-Vitamins also.

Excellent chapter, and I’m looking forward to reading Chapter 11.
