Satiety

5/31/2013

 
True satiety is liberation from the daily struggle to not eat just because you can, it's free, or any other seductive reason. - Bonnie Modugno, MSRD 

This is going to be hard to believe, however, there are only two nutrients that provide the feeling of satiety without *over-eating - not 22 or 222, just 2! 

Here's the question I ask: "Why don't the experts tell everyone?" Because they don't, you would think it's highly classified information. In Feed Your Head and 101 Incredible Diet, Health, and Lifestyle Tips, I explain it in detail. The bottom-line: You are never hungry and willpower or deprivation play no role.

*By the way, the trite saying: Eat Less, Exercise More is a myth. You can eat a lot! And, while exercise is very important, no doubt, if you eat the Standard American Diet, it is impossible to exercise it off.

Taste

  • Eating well is not deprivational, but delicious. - Mark Bittman
  • Learn to love the foods that love you back. - Dr. David Katz

All experts know the above observations to be true. However, recently when introducing the panel discussion Why we get fat, the moderator stated: "Is there any way to stay thin other than living on a diet of yogurt and wicker furniture?"

Unfortunately, this perpetuates the myth that eating foods with health benefits tastes terrible. I can assure you, wicker furniture has never crossed my lips. All diet experts agree: They love food, enjoy eating, and it tastes delicious.

There is absolutely no reason to eat food that doesn't taste great.

Evian: Great commercial, but I'll stick with my filtered tap water - tastes great and much cheaper.

When introducing a panel discussion titled: Why we get fat, Keith Humphreys (Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences - Stanford School of Medicine) stated: Is there any way to stay thin other than living on a diet of yogurt and wicker furniture?

This statement perpetuates the myth that food with health benefits taste horrible. Sorry, Dr. Humphreys, there are many delicious foods that provide health benefits. 

While I have eaten plenty of yogurt (Choboni for me), I can assure you, wicker furniture has never crossed my lips.

I'm Fascianted That 100-Trillion Gut Bacteria are Floating Around in Our Bodies ...

5/15/2013

0 Comments

 
So, I was excited to read this article by Michael Pollan - Some of My Best Friends are Germs.

It's a long article and my area of interest is this part of the article:

Alas, I am impatient. So I gave up asking scientists for recommendations and began asking them instead how, in light of what they’ve learned about the microbiome, they have changed their own diets and lifestyles. Most of them have made changes. They were slower to take, or give their children, antibiotics. (I should emphasize that in no way is this an argument for the rejection of antibiotics when they are medically called for.) Some spoke of relaxing the sanitary regime in their homes, encouraging their children to play outside in the dirt and with animals — deliberately increasing their exposure to the great patina. Many researchers told me they had eliminated or cut back on processed foods, either because of its lack of fiber or out of concern about additives. In general they seemed to place less faith in probiotics (which few of them used) than in prebiotics — foods likely to encourage the growth of “good bacteria” already present. Several, including Justin Sonnenburg, said they had added fermented foods to their diet: yogurt, kimchi, sauerkraut. These foods can contain large numbers of probiotic bacteria, like L. plantarum and bifidobacteria, and while most probiotic bacteria don’t appear to take up permanent residence in the gut, there is evidence that they might leave their mark on the community, sometimes by changing the gene expression of the permanent residents — in effect turning on or off metabolic pathways within the cell — and sometimes by stimulating or calming the immune response.

Change in season: Why salt doesn’t deserve its bad rap

5/15/2013

I love "the study of the day". 

Today, a report came out that salt ain't so bad for us after all. The amazing and incredible cartoonist, Jonny Hawkins, came up with this one. It's in my book too. Because, I discovered much of the "scientific" research ain't so scientific. 

Don't believe me? Check out this article: Lies, Damn Lies, and Medical Science. If you find the article intriguing, there are many wonderful books to read about the lack of science in scientific research. You might be shocked. I was.

A $3.8-million Legal Bribe - All Smiles on Deck ...

5/9/2013

I'm the world's biggest cynic. So, I love B.S. like this. Here's the headline: Coca-Cola pledges $3.8 million in grants to fight obesity in Georgia and the article. 

If this picture wasn't so funny, it would be sad. The CEO of Coca-Cola just slipped $3.8-million into the pocket's of Governor Deal and Mayor Reed. Hey, I'd be smiling too.

The only problem is this: Coke's premier product is one (certainly not the only) of the causes of obesity. And get this: If you drink one 12-ounce Coke per day, you will be consuming 32-pounds of sugar per year. It would fill a 5-gallon water jug. Take a look.

I live in the great city of Atlanta - Coca-Cola's home town. So, here's my advice. If you are ever in Atlanta, visit the Coke Museum, but do not drink its products. Okay, you can drink Dasani. But I'm not sure why you would do that. Water is free and Dasani is expensive.
