Greg McLean
I‟m a mortgage banker who developed a
metabolic disorder. With an open mind and a
willingness to question conventional
wisdom, I researched and applied an evolved
new understanding over a period of several
months with great success and I look forward
to continued success.

3. 


Demonstrate the conventional wisdom about
diet and exercise that has failed us.
Offer an alternative supporting a new
understanding through medical experts and
clinical trials.
Point someone with a metabolic disorder in a
life changing direction.

Weight management is all about
Calories
Saturated fat is bad for you
People who are overweight have only
themselves to blame
The best reason to exercise is to burn
calories
Wholegrain foods are good for you
Obesity is the cause of many diseases
such as diabetes and heart disease

5. 
Greg‟s proclamation:
There are so many problems with the Calorie
approach to dieting, the term “Calorie” needs to
be eliminated from any meaningful discussion
about weight loss.

6. Support:
Gary Taubes, a Harvard graduate physicists, certainly
understands the laws of thermodynamics. He devotes
his life to the understanding of why we are fat. In this
hour long presentation he debunks the notion that a
Calorie is a Calorie.

Greg‟s proclamation:
There are good fats and bad fats. You need fat
to burn fat. Saturated fat is one of the good
guys. It has been demonstrated time and time
again in clinical trials that saturated fat is
benign in its affect on heart disease.

The Study:

Conclusions: A meta-analysis of prospective epidemiologic studies
showed that there is no significant evidence for concluding that
dietary saturated fat is associated with an increased risk of CHD or
CVD.

9. 
Greg‟s proclamation:
Following the FDA‟s food pyramid and
recommendations for a low fat, high carbohydrate
diet is the reason for the obesity and heart disease
epidemics. Two thirds of Americans developed an
insulin resistance from eating the wrong foods.
Body fat plays a vital roll in maintaining healthy
blood sugar levels. You are as fat as you need to be
for your hormones to do their job.

Greg‟s proclamation:
Calories don‟t make us fat. Hormones do. Many
hormones are able to contribute to weight loss
or weight gain. Exercise is great for all these
hormones, especially in its ability to reverse
insulin resistance.

Insulin Resistance“ Notice the word „Calorie‟ is
not mentioned.

Greg‟s proclamation:
All wheat is bad and needs to be eliminated
from your diet. Weight loss is one of numerous
heath benefits that one enjoys from eliminating
wheat from the diet.

15. 
Greg‟s proclamation:
Obesity is associated with but not the cause
of certain diseases including diabetes and
heart disease. The association is because
the same thing that makes us overweight
makes us sick. Focus on good blood
hormone health and losing weight will be a
bonus to your good health, life expectancy
and quality of life.

17. Commit to the following for the rest of your life:
 There are good carbs and bad carbs, good
fats and bad fats, good proteins and bad
proteins. Eliminate the bad and indulge on
the good.
 Eat when hungry and until satisfied.
 Incorporate 30 minutes of aerobic exercise
into your daily routine.

18. Don‟t make the scale your focus. Rather focus
on improving your blood hormone health
naturally.
Remember: You carry as much fat as is required
for you blood hormones to do their job. So,
focus on reducing the requirement.
