Swede & beef eater http://www.fetsmart.com/blog LowCarb in Scandinavia Sat, 15 Nov 2008 22:49:48 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 en The Fat War http://www.fetsmart.com/blog/2008/11/15/the-fat-war/ http://www.fetsmart.com/blog/2008/11/15/the-fat-war/#comments Sat, 15 Nov 2008 20:15:20 +0000 admin http://www.fetsmart.com/blog/?p=15 LowCarb community in Sweden is looking forward to tomorrow night when one of the most important and influential documentary television programs,”Kalla Fakta” (”Cold Facts”) is sending a feature called “Fettkriget” (”The Fat War”).

Kalla fakta  Del 12 av 15
Svenskarna blir allt fetare och experter talar om en fetmapeidimi men varför blir vi fetare? Beror det på att vi är hungrigare i dag eller äter vi fel? Allt fler läkare anser att man bör äta mer fett och färre kolhydrateter, vilket strider mot de statliga kostråden. Reporter Johan Åsard har granskat de vetenskapliga bevisen för att fett är farligt. Reportaget visar också hur forskningen om kostråden påverkas av livsmedelsindustrin som har allt att vinna på folks rädsla för fett.

Cold facts  Part 12 of 15
The population of Sweden is getting fatter and fatter and experts talk about an obesity epidemic. But why do we becom more overweight an d obese? Is it becasuse we are hungrier now than before, or do we eat the wrong food? More and more physicians are of the opinion that we should eat more fat and less carbohydrates, which goes against cost nutritional guidelines issued by government. Reporter Johan Åsard has looked into the scientific evidences for fat being dangerous. The program also shows how research about nutritional guidelines is influenced by the food industry who has everything to win from people fearing fat.

As far as one could see he seems to have lost quite a good deal of his “pondus”… At least, he looks a lot happier ;-)

Hahaha… If there is any truth in that he must have lost it completely! I think you should be careful not to eat to much carbs, but if it is ever motivated to eat fast carbs it would be after hard training. Italian conspiracy to destroy England national football team? As if they would be any threat to the Italian side…

Today I have 280 days to get fit enough to participate in the Gothenburg Half Marathon (”Göteborgsvarvet”), May 16 2009.

My first priority is to lose weight, I won’t say “as much as possible”, but almost…  Losing all this weight will necessarily involve lots of walking and eventually running witch will more or less “automatically” improve my overall physical status. Now, thats what I call a smart plan!

Last fifteen days I have been walking 4.7 miles a day in average, I will try to increase that to 6 miles a day.

Weightloss can be achieved mainly by exercise but I will of course stick to my LowCarb way of eating which I feel have served me well so far. However there is always room for improvement and I will try to include even more of certain “nutrient-dense” and healthtwise beneficial food.

Happy birthday Mr Terrey!
