Do you know someone with “man boobs”?
If you don’t know what I’m talking about….take a close look at guys you see at your work or in the grocery store. If they have some fullness in the pectoral region then you can guarantee that they have high Estrogen levels and low Testosterone levels. Unfortunately it’s very common to see these days as we tend to eat a carb heavy diet and too much of it!! Again, too many grains in the diet cause our estrogen levels to rise (both men & women) which causes us to gain weight. To make things even worse, our own body fat is another source of increased Estrogen production which perpetuates the problem. High Estrogen in men can lead to prostate problems/cancer, all the health problems associated with being overweight (diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, depression, etc), plus the unsightly man boobs. In women it can cause PMS, Polycystic Ovaries, infertility, weight gain, etc…..
The good news is that you can control this by moderating your carbohydrates (you’re already learning to do this if you’re following The VIP Diet) and morphing away from the grains on a daily basis. No, this doesn’t mean you can’t have the occasional cookie or piece of bread, but it DOES mean that on a daily basis you should be having 90% or more of your carbohydrate choices coming from plant based sources and then a few times per week you can look forward to some grains without consequence. It’s all about moderation and treating your body with the respect it deserves. It’s not a prison sentence, but rather a new lease on life! Enjoy!! Liberty
