Eat native diet – drop 60 lbs.Bruinooge shows the way to inspire Manitobans
By PAUL TURENNE, Winnipeg Sun
May 25, 2010
It’s not exactly revolutionary nutritional science, but a Winnipeg MP is hoping his personal success with dieting can inspire Manitobans and help reduce the province’s growing problem with diabetes.
Rod Bruinooge, MP for Winnipeg South, has lost about 60 pounds since making a New Year’s Resolution to eat a diet more in tune with what aboriginals ate prior to their introduction to refined sugars and other modern bulge-inducers.
Bruinooge said he weighed 223 pounds in late December — his highest weight ever — and now hovers between 160 and 165.
“My goal was just to get healthy, but I didn’t know what healthy would look like,” the Conservative MP said, noting he didn’t have a goal in mind. “I haven’t been this weight since Grade 11. I feel great. It’s allowed me to play longer and have more fun with my kids.”
Growing up in Thompson, Bruinooge said he saw how drinking pop and eating sugary foods like desserts and some breakfast cereals led to obesity and diabetes — a disease he said is three times more prevalent among aboriginals than in Canada’s general population.
So he decided to switch to what he calls a more aboriginal diet that includes proteins like bison and fish, as well as plenty of vegetables. Primarily, though, the former pop fiend and self-proclaimed “sweet tooth” avoided refined sugar.
“Aboriginal communities really only had sugar introduced in the past 50 or 100 years,” he said, adding fast foods and other processed fatty treats are also to blame. “Instead of having fried chicken, if more of us ate pickerel or bison, aboriginal people would be better served.
“I don’t have to be a doctor to say that.”
Bruinooge will bring his message to Winnipeg next Monday, when he speaks at the national conference of the Canadian Institute of Food Science and Technology, which takes place at the Fairmont Hotel.
“I’m not trying to be preachy. This is just my experience. If it helps someone avoid diabetes or live better in the community, then great.”
