		<description>THANKS Tess! This isn&#039;t a YouTube video, it&#039;s a Google video. But I&#039;m sorry you can&#039;t see it. Unfortunately, there is not a transcript for it yet and it would be very long to type out.  I&#039;d try to do it but it would take me a VERY long time working on it for hours a day.  Maybe someone who is good at transcribing will come to your rescue.  I hope you get to see what Gary Taubes said.  :)</description>

		<description>We know that it takes a bushel of wheat or a bushel of rye to make a quart of Whisky and we know that it takes a bushel of potatoes to make a quart of  Vodka and we know that this &#039;Alcohol&#039; is a potent powerful life altering Drug. -- We also know that this drug is the highest form of carbohydrates. -- I would liken it to Cocaine(which we also know is a full strength man made drug). We know too that this process(carbohydrates to alcohol) is a &#039;modern man&#039; and &#039;science&#039; discovery and process.(a several thousands of years of &#039;modern man&#039; process)! The natives took the Cocaine leaves and chewed them with limes to make the drug cocaine, though to a far lesser strength. -- So drugs is drugs is drugs -- potent drugs. -- Man made drugs! -- So why is it so hard for us to understand that this &#039;potent drug&#039;(alcohol)made from &#039;Hybrid Wheat&#039; and &#039;Hybrid Potatoes&#039; is nothing more than a more potent form of a weaker but equally powerful drug(carbohydrates) like the &#039;Cocaine&#039; leaves with limes are to the Cocaine or simply to eat the leaves without the lime! -- Sugar. -- We could say that our digestive system then converts these hybrid drugs(carbohydrates) into our blood stream and then throughout our bodies when we eat them! -- Then we can say that the effects of these &#039;potent powerful drugs&#039; have created our societies as we know them, and altered our existence, and not just altered but altered to a PROFOUND DEGREE, our existence! -- All this to say that modern carbohydrates are man made and bred drugs like speed! -- Stimulant drugs that effect our persons and our bodies and our beings to a profound degree!</description>

Female age 30&lt;/b&gt; - extreme fat deposits on thighs  - huge thighs -: &lt;br/&gt;This girl drank sugar soft drinks by the gallon daily - every day I knew her - she a had a gallon thermos jug she filled up every day at the local 7-11 or maverick -&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;b&gt;2. Female age 20&lt;/b&gt; - excess and stretched out stomach fat - otherwise quite cute:&lt;br/&gt;Ate bags of candy daily - every day - wanted to become a pole dancer/stripper -&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I told her to drop the idea - because that stretched out fat stomach just wouldn&#039;t cut it - she hated me -&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;b&gt;3. Female age 22&lt;/b&gt; - 20 pounds overweight - fat deposited fairly evenly - wonderful personality -:&lt;br/&gt;Always had some sort of candy bars or sugar and sugar soft drinks with her lunch -&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;b&gt;4. Shoppers at store&lt;/b&gt; - some fat - some thin -:&lt;br/&gt;They all had one thing in common - they never seemed to buy real food - it was always some kind of processed crap - &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Processed crap with sugar in it - which their fat wife or fat kid or fat husband was sure to eat too much of - &lt;br/&gt;&lt;/i&gt;</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><b>Does Low Carb Make You Stupid ?</p>
<p>Taubes: 20 pounds overweight<br />Jimmy Moore: 60 pounds overweight</p>
<p></b> <br /><i>To begin: Gary in the video &#8211; looks 20 pounds overweight &#8211; he obviously is &#8211; </p>
<p>Jimmy Moore is 60 pounds overweight &#8211; period &#8211; however &#8211; considering his loose skin problem &#8211; his current weight might be a good compromise -</i> </p>
<p><b>Taubes Conclusions ?</b> <br /><i>His conclusions do not add up -</p>
<p>He looks at poor people and how the kids are skinny and starving and yet how their mothers are fat and apparently well fed &#8211; and tells us that due to motherly love &#8211; these mothers certainly would not be keeping food from their kids and instead eating it them selfs &#8211; so their must be something magical going on &#8211; with the skinny kids/fat mothers thing</p>
<p>Get real Taubes -</p>
<p><b>There are millions of people who have lost weight on a restricted high carb diet -</b></p>
<p>millions and millions</p>
<p>according to Taubes &#8211; they shouldn&#8217;t have &#8211; to much insulin to lose fat -</p>
<p>Taubes theory about insulin does not work on a restricted calorie high carb diet -</p>
<p>Excessive calorie intake combined with high carb intake might make sense &#8211; however &#8211; some  people in the far east eat a high carb diet of 4000 calories &#8211; and their thin -</p>
<p><b>So his theory doesn&#8217;t work here either -</b></p>
<p>His theory about insulin only seems to work &#8211; perhaps/maybe &#8211; on people who have become insulin resistant eating empty processed foods -</p>
<p>and </p>
<p>It indeed works on a very high calorie diet and very low carb diet in preventing fat deposition -</p>
<p><b>My own personal opinion is this -</b></p>
<p>Excess calories from any source when combined with extremely heat processed sugars &#8211; white table sugar or fructose &#8211; result in immediate fat deposition -</p>
<p>The more refined sugar &#8211; the more fat that is deposited -</p>
<p>This is how people get fat &#8211; it&#8217;s the sugar &#8211;  not the mirrors -</p>
<p>and sense it is commonly fat or sugar itself that pushes the calories over the top &#8211; ?</p>
<p><b>Taubes wants the world to stop eating carbs for what reason then ?</b></p>
<p>He&#8217;s 20 pounds overweight and Jimmy Moore&#8217;s 60 pounds overweight &#8211; Why ? &#8211; is this so great ?</p>
<p>If Low Carb makes the people using it think being 20 to 60 pounds overweight is some how the <b>&#8216;new thin&#8217;</b> &#8211; </p>
<p>then I can only wonder what it is doing to their brains ?</p>
<p>apparently it seems &#8211; beans/wheat/and other seeds may be needed for proper brain function -</p>
<p>Dieting and calorie restriction of some sort is needed to lose fat deposits &#8211; sometimes high protein combined with weight lifting and a normal calorie intake will shift fat deposits &#8211; tricky at best I think though &#8211; </p>
<p><b>Low Carb does one thing well by design  &#8211; it gets rid of sugar -</b></p>
<p>Sugar is the most expensive food additive known &#8211; as dentist&#8217;s make about 500 dollars an hour and a mouth  of sugar rotted teeth needs about 40,000 dollars to repair properly -</p>
<p>But that&#8217;s sugar &#8211; not wheat &#8211; not rice &#8211; not beans &#8211; not lentils &#8211; not millet &#8211; not barley -</p>
<p>it&#8217;s the sugar &#8211; </p>
<p>and not the mirrors</p>
<p><b>Some of my own observations of fat people -</b></p>
<p><b>1. Female age 30</b> &#8211; extreme fat deposits on thighs  &#8211; huge thighs -: <br />This girl drank sugar soft drinks by the gallon daily &#8211; every day I knew her &#8211; she a had a gallon thermos jug she filled up every day at the local 7-11 or maverick -</p>
<p><b>2. Female age 20</b> &#8211; excess and stretched out stomach fat &#8211; otherwise quite cute:<br />Ate bags of candy daily &#8211; every day &#8211; wanted to become a pole dancer/stripper -</p>
<p>I told her to drop the idea &#8211; because that stretched out fat stomach just wouldn&#8217;t cut it &#8211; she hated me -</p>
<p><b>3. Female age 22</b> &#8211; 20 pounds overweight &#8211; fat deposited fairly evenly &#8211; wonderful personality -:<br />Always had some sort of candy bars or sugar and sugar soft drinks with her lunch -</p>
<p><b>4. Shoppers at store</b> &#8211; some fat &#8211; some thin -:<br />They all had one thing in common &#8211; they never seemed to buy real food &#8211; it was always some kind of processed crap &#8211; </p>
<p>Processed crap with sugar in it &#8211; which their fat wife or fat kid or fat husband was sure to eat too much of &#8211; <br /></i></p>

		<description>THANKS Rachel!  Peanut butter is LOADED with sugar, so I bet you&#039;d see an improvement in your weight if you cut it out of your diet.  Be sure to eat more fat when you reduce carbs and the metabolic advantage of livin&#039; la vida low-carb will happen.  The best part is your lipid profile will vastly improve while you lose that 10 pounds.  :)</description>
