Bhmd Is Not Vegetarian


The BHMD supplies all the fats and protein your body needs. The ingredients and condiments that make up the appetizing BHMD menus provide your body with the essentials of protein. These basic building blocks of the body, you may recall, are amino acids.
The amino acids, not the protein, are important for your body's vital metabolic functions. As part of the C.C., the amino acids perform their jobs with a far greater efficiency than the protein derived from meats.
However, that is not to say that the BHMD is a vege¬tarian diet. Your menus make plenty of allowance to in¬dulge your taste for animal substances. Various types of lean meats, chicken and other poultry, as well as fish are included in the C.C. fare. You will prepare them in a way that permits you to obtain the greatest benefit from them. Nevertheless, the daily quantity should not exceed more than a quarter pound.

C.C. Vs. Fats & Oils

In the BHMD fats and oils are replaced by Complex Carbohydrates. These will make you lose weight and in addition do something even more beneficial. As part of your daily diet, C.C. protects you against heart disease and cancer.
The Complex Carbohydrates keep your arteries from clogging up with fats that slow down the flow of blood. For it is one of those marvels of nature that Complex Carbohydrates have the fantastic effect of lowering blood
cholesterol. Thus, among its many other wonders, C.C. reduces the risk of coronary attacks.
A good deal of the Complex Carbohydrates that will buoy up your new diet will be consumed as fiber. The popular high-protein diets are almost criminally deficient in the all-important roughage that comes from the indigestible parts of fruits, vegetables, cereals and grains. Fiber, or "bulk," is incorporated as many delicious items in the BHMD.
And for a very good reason.
It has been shown scientifically that fiber helps increase the body's excretion of cholesterol. With the C.C.-rich fiber you are gaining greater protection against cancer of the colon and the rectum, the most prevalent forms of lethal cancer in our country.
The BHMD offers a wide and zesty assortment of snacks, meals and dishes to reduce your fat intake. For now, let's take one example: the simple potato.
Most people believe that a diet of lean meat will get your weight down better than a diet containing potatoes. But a 3'/2-OZ. porterhouse steak is 82% fat and counts 465 calories. A 3'/2-oz. baked potato, however, contains only 93 calories and is only 0.5% fat. Compare this to a hot dog (80% fat); lunch meat (84%); peanut butter (77%); or take the average cheeseburger, in which the meat is 85% fat, the cheese is 73% fat, and the sauce is 90% fat.
The proof is in the potato, as your scale will verify

One More Word To The Wise

Before we get into the C.C. of the book, I should point out there are no miracles in nature. Nature works marvel-ously according to a plan that commands our reverence. But it has no miracles, as science will tell you. Likewise, the BHMD, which takes nature as its model, does not provide anything exceeding the bounds of the possible.

As the director of the American Institute of Health in Beverly Hills I run a series of mini-clinics in which people learn how to stay healthy and vigorous. There they are told straight away that I do not offer a chocolate-flavored miracle program. Instead I propose, as I do in my regular practice, that they and I become partners in health.

You are the key to the New Health, which you can obtain by following the Anti-Stress Beverly Hills Medical Diet.
