Famous fellow teammate George
Stella, is a fine example of "coming back from the
brink". He once weighing 467lbs and was stuck in a
wheelchair with a failing heart. George lost 260lbs
by switching to Low-Carb and regained
his health. Almost 2 decades later, George is
still constantly inspiring others in similar
situations - and, very importantly, he's always used
Splenda - without any issues! That's what our team does best - we help
others. We all have professional Low-Carb
Cookbooks that we sell to support our
families. Times are really tough; buying them's
a kind way to support this unique team -but if you
can't afford them, well, we've all "Been there done
that!" -there's no "Cookbook Millionaires" here!
We're happy enough to pay our bills. So we give a lot of our professional recipes away,
Free, daily. Here's George Stella's "Before & After"
photos. George is still the most popular Low-Carb
cookbook author in the world. He's kept the
weight off for almost 20 years now! Visit him at

So many people who have been very
careful not to gain too much weight -they didn't
ever let their weight-gain get out of control, are
often told they're "just lucky" or they
have "good genes". Naturally they're left
wondering... Jennifer's the founder of Facebook page "Low-Carbing Among Friends", the
world's #1 FB page for 5 years (and counting) and
also as a best-selling Low-Carb cookbook author for
20+ years. At 5'3" her weight has risen as high as
150lbs and as low as 115lbs. In her 20's, 30's &
early 40's she aimed at staying in the 120's - back then
weight loss was a lot easier. After 42, weight
loss became increasingly difficult. So in her mid
40's, 50's and 60's, she's tried to keep her weight
in the 130's (BMI=24.9)
I often heard her wonder out loud ... "What if I'd not been careful? What if
I'd not switched to Low-Carb?" The only way one can
get a reliable answer to that question, is if we
have a twin (or very similar genetic-sibling, close
enough in age) that did not switch to Low-Carb, but
rather stuck to the traditional (High-carb +
Processed food) modern western diet. It would be more intriguing
yet, if that sibling reduced fat consumption as well,
by following a low-Fat diet whilst upping (not
being bothered by) carbs, as these are sold to us
under the guise of being "Low-Fat".
Well, on this team we
have exactly such a case! Sadly Jennifer was estranged
from her old birth family - her mother disowned her
for daring to follow her heart and marry a man of
German-French-Dutch descent, instead of the mother's
hand-picked rich and well-connected British-heir,
a school-chum of Prince Andrew. The upshot of
all of that was she was disowned for daring to say "No
mother!
I'll choose whom to love, whom to marry and whom to
spend the rest of my life with, mother - that's not
your choice to make." In her old family, nobody
ever said "no" to the mother! So Jennifer was driven away
- kept
away from their very British family. For 26yrs
(since almost age 35) she's not seen or had contact
with her genetic sister who lives in Canada still
with her mother (which ruined her life!) and who happens to be an
avid high-carb,
low-fat adherent!
Then suddenly one day, she was presented with a
photo of her sister at age 55 - along with important health
updates. You can imagine the range of
emotions that swept over Jen. For the first 30 years
of their lives, both sisters were not overweight and
had very similar body-types. So naturally Jen, who's
a professional Low-Carb cookbook author and well
known in the Low-Carb world, immediately noticed
what high-carb/low-fat had done to her sister. As we're told to expect in
such a case, her sister had several
run-ins with major life-threatening diseases - ones
that just do not run in their family - ones that
clearly had to have been caused through diet! That's
the only major difference in their lifestyles. Like
her sister, Jennifer too is rather sedentary,
neither smoke or drink much alcohol (their mother
strictly enforced all these things!) and they both
started at much the same weight in their early 30's
(when they'd last met) when both were slim & trim and
neither had major health problems. So really, it all
came down to one thing - their diet! Jennifer's isolation by "mother"
from all of her old family, was a blessing! She was
free to choose her own destiny - to love whom she
chose and live where she wanted (she moved way south
of Canada) and to follow a diet not chosen by their
overbearing mother - rather one chosen by her, after
careful research. Not long after they all last met,
Jennifer Eloff chose to Low-Carb. She also chose to
avoid SUGAR or HFCS almost entirely, using instead a
variety of alternative sweeteners - primarily
Splenda, Erythritol, Stevia ... and she used Butter
rather than Trans-fat laden margarines or vegetable
shortenings. She went on to
develop recipes and write Low-Carb cookbooks,
founding
the World's #1 Low-Carb team of expert, professional
Low-Carb recipe creators "Low-Carbing Among
Friends". With 1.1 Million likes
of their 2 Facebook pages, for 5yrs, they continue to lead the Low-Carb
world, helping people recover their health and
figures and to regain hope.
DISCLAIMER:
Jennifer wasn't in favor of sharing information
about
her sister, but I told her that it's a unique case-study
that has a real potential to save lives!
Even though we know her sister's prohibited from
having a smart-phone or having Internet access, I assured Jen that this page won't display in Canada (where her sister lives)
so there's no chance of anyone she knows seeing it
and will not be embarrassed by it. Jen wasn't able
to help her sister, but this article will help
others, alerting people
to the
very real dangers of Sugar/HFCS and to processed
foods containing them. We hope somewhere someone's
life will be saved. It is well understood that
obesity is strongly correlated with Diabetes-2 and
Cancer, let alone Heart-disease and stroke, and as you can see by looking at the lives of
these two genetic sisters, it all came down to diet. Don't
be fooled about
artificial sweeteners, it's Sugar that's
deadly! Look carefully for real news
-not fake news. Among other things you'll
discover recently they observed people drinking artificially sweetened beverages have
significantly less chance of contracting
colon-cancer - than those that drink SUGAR/HFCS
sweetened beverages - and that's just one example of
many! Cancer is strongly co-related with
inflammation. Sugar/HFCS drive significant
inflammation, whilst Splenda and other artificial
sweeteners do not! That's likely why we see
this. Since our family switched to Splenda, our tests for CRP (C-reactive Protein, a
marker for systemic inflammation) is so low that in
our lab reports it's always flagged as 'undetectable'
- for decades now! People who consume Sugar/HFCS
regularly and aren't on drugs to suppress
inflammation, can't say that. That bodes well for
avoiding Cancer or Heart disease. CRP's a marker
alerting Dr's to those dangers in their patients.
The facts are well hidden by the internet-hysteria.
Believe the hysteria and you'll miss out
on a real opportunity to kick a very addictive,
dangerous drug -SUGAR, which is definitely not
natural! Sucrose is, but crystalline
white/yellow or brown Sugar isn't. Like HFCS, Sugar
is made in refineries
- kind of like like
gasoline, Diesel etc. |

Bottom lines:
(1) George was dying, but lived (2) Jennifer's
sister's coping with very serious obesity related illnesses
that, as far back as we've researched, are a first
in their family tree -so it's not
simply her Genes causing them, it's her diet!
FOOTNOTE:
Jennifer Eloff was the first cookbook author in the world
(for about 7-8 years) to have easy access to Splenda,
to
use it in her recipes and cookbooks, and George
managed to get Splenda earlier than other authors in
the USA too! Now, 25 years later, they both still use
it. Their families (4 young boys, wife and hubby)
also used it. In fact, Jen's family's
easily the world's biggest users of Splenda - having
used about 500 cups per person per year for the
first 10y of her cookbook development. That's way
more per person (in even one year!) than most people
will use in 10 years. One has to stop and think what
their health (and weight) would be like now if they
had each used 500 cups of SUGAR per year for the
last 25 years! Statistically they'd be obese,
battling Diabetes or some other diseases (including
Heart-disease) or maybe even dead? Her boys are all
grown-up (ages 32 and 29) her hubby has just turned
62, and she's about to turn 61. All of them showed
improved health over their early "SUGAR YEARS" - and
apart from Jennifer's Hashis (a lot of women get
that!) they're all healthy and not obese. We do now know that
a SUAGR/HFCS laden high-carb diet, plus
being severely overweight, has a major impact on the
chances of getting at least 3 cancers: Breast,
Colorectal and Endometrial Cancers.
What we do know today
is that a Ketogenic diet (very Low-carb + High-fat)
is more effective than Chemotherapy. Jen's
sister has paid a very high price for listening to
her mother on a whole range of issues and listening
to the prevailing opinions that Splenda's a poison
and (by Implication) she should rather use 'Good
old Sugar'. While the people who believe that are
still waiting for the very first death in the entire
world, attributable to Splenda, they need not wait
for the death's attributable to Sugar consumption. In the 25 years SPLENDA has been
available, there's not 1 death attributable to it!
Contrast that with an estimated 180,000 deaths a
year linked to SUGAR! Let's do the math: ZERO
deaths for SPLENDA vs (25 x 180,000) = almost 5
MILLION Deaths from SUGAR in 25yrs! So whenever you
see "Internet hype" on "the dangers of Splenda"...just
STOP! Realize
that's all imaginary and that you're being
manipulated! There's Billions of $'s at stake in
this 'game' and it's naive to think that those with
a lot to lose will not try to confuse you -
they have! BUT the sad "hidden truth"
is that for decades SUGAR has killed a lot of people
and made others unhealthy + obese, whilst the
cleverly plotted to divert attention away from SUGAR
and instead to place all of that blame on Natural
fats -even artificial sweeteners! Sugar's "the new TOBACCO"
of our age, and since SPLENDA is it's main
competitor, the rich, powerful SUGAR INDUSTRY has
spread a lot of misinformation about it's safety,
while trying their best to hide the very real
dangers of SUGAR! Remember, Tobacco doesn't kill
with the first cigarette, it takes years of constant
use. The same is true for Sugar/HFCS. We offer several
alternatives (Stevia too) to use in our "Low-Carbing Among
Friends" series of cookbooks. So it's your choice! If
you believe the carefully crafted negative hype about the leading sweetener,
then go ahead and use any sweetener you like! Jennifer's family
still preferentially uses Splenda. For them it's been
a good choice. Using that much SUGAR instead of
Splenda for the past 25y would have led to disaster!
That's not conjecture - we now have the sad proof of
what 'being lied to' did for Jen's sister. FACT:
Average USA SUGAR consumption now stands at
180lbs per person, per year. Using any approved
artificial sweetener would be far less dangerous!
Peek into our lives over the 25 years:
NOTE: We've consumed a LOT more Splenda in any 1 year
than most do in a lifetime!
Here we are 25 years later,
and all those dire warnings about Splenda,
fell flat - which is a lot nicer than what anyone
can say for any family consuming SUGAR/HFCS for 25yrs.
I suppose someone will look at our family photos and
say: "In 25 years they've not succeeded in
gaining much weight - that's not healthy! And look
... he's turned grey and she's gone blond!"
then say, confidently: "See! I told you Splenda was a
poison - none of it for me! Now pass me the Sugar!"

DISCLAIMER: In the
last 25 years Jennifer
& their family have not profited from the sale/use of
Splenda -they use it because, for them, it's had a
blemish-free track-record and it tastes great!
