How to Gain Weight and Build Muscle. So you wanna put on some lean muscle mass. ![]() Question: “I was reading about how it’s not a good idea to try to gain mass and lose body fat at the same time. I’m an athlete trying to achieve both for the. How to Lose Weight and Gain Muscle. In order to lose weight and build muscle you have to focus on three key elements: diet, cardiovascular exercise, and strength. ![]() And you want to do it within the context of the Primal Blueprint, but aren’t sure where to start. It’s a common question and it’s about time I addressed it head on. As I’ve made pretty clear, our ultimate goal is to achieve positive gene expression, functional strength, optimum health, and extended longevity. In other words: To make the most out of the particular gene set you inherited. These are my end goals, and I’ve modeled the PB Laws with them in mind. But that doesn’t mean packing on extra muscle can’t happen with additional input. After I retired from a life of chronic cardio and started living Primally, I added 1. The question is how much and at what expense? I’d be the first to tell you that lean body mass is healthier than adipose tissue. ![]() Generally, the more lean mass a person has, the longer and better they live. But to increase mass at the expense of agility, strength, or speed is, in my opinion, counterproductive. What would Grok do – go for enormous biceps or the ability to haul a carcass back to camp? Unless you’re a bodybuilder (nothing wrong with that, mind you; it’s just not my focus), I can’t advise simply packing on size without a proportional increase in actual strength. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Those bulging biceps might look good on the beach, but then again, so does the body that comes with keeping up with the younger guys, knocking out twenty pull- ups in a row, and lifting twice your bodyweight. Form is best paired with a healthy serving of function. The two are quite delicious together, and, luckily, following the PB allows us to get both without sacrificing either. Of course, we’re all built a little differently. The basic building blocks are the same in everyone, but sexual reproduction (as opposed to asexual reproduction) has the funny habit of producing unique genetics and small variations that affect the way we respond to our environments. It’s why some people are short and some are tall, or why some of us respond better to carbohydrates than others. Even though we all pretty much operate the same way, there IS a range of possible outcomes that is proscribed by your direct ancestors. By that same token, some people just naturally have more muscle mass. They’re usually innately more muscular than the average person, and putting more on through resistance training is often an easy task. Then there are those who can’t seem to gain a pound: the hardgainers. They might be increasing strength, but it doesn’t seem to translate into visible muscle mass. Now, my initial advice for a hardgainer is this – don’t worry too much about it! As long as you’re getting stronger, you’re doing it right. Let’s face it, though. We’ve broken this weight loss diet down so that it’s easy for you to follow. This diet is made for people who want to lose body fat quickly (which equals.![]() You’ve probably heard that enough already. It’s fun being the lanky guy at the gym who can lift more than most, but you’re dead set on bulking up (who doesn’t like a bit more muscle to go along with that strength?), and you want to do it in a Primal context. Besides, continuing to increase strength will eventually require increasing size. To do so, you have to target the very same anabolic hormones that others use to get big, only with even more enthusiasm and drive. If someone told you right now what the absolute best exercise to lose weight was, would you do it? You might when you read this. Drum roll, please! Turbulence Training provides fat loss workout exercises, Home Fitness Workouts, fat burning exercise to lose weight. Weight loss workout routines and strength. Like I said, we all have similar engines, but some require more fuel and more efficient driving (sorry for the corny analogy). Activating these hormones will work for anyone, provided they work hard and eat enough food. ![]() ![]() The main hormones that contribute to muscle anabolism are testosterone, growth hormone (GH), and insulin- like growth factor- 1 (IGF- 1). A little more about each and how to utilize them: Testosterone. Crazy bodybuilders don’t inject themselves with anabolic steroid hormones that are based on testosterone for nothing. Among other roles, testosterone is an important muscle- building growth factor that favorably affects protein synthesis in addition to working with other hormones (like GH and IGF- 1) to improve their function (more on this later). If you want to increase strength and build muscle, testosterone is absolutely required (don’t worry, though: no injections necessary!). Growth Hormone. It’s right there in the name, isn’t it? Growth hormone. It helps muscle grow and, perhaps more importantly, it burns body fat. After all, leaning out is a big part of building muscle (or else you’ll just look puffy) and GH will help you do it. Insulin- like Growth Factor 1. IGF- 1 is extremely similar in effect to GH, as it should be – GH stimulates IGF- 1 production in the liver. In fact, it’s suspected that IGF- 1 is actually responsible for most of the “growth- promoting effects of circulating GH.”Anabolic hormones all work together. In fact, to maximize their muscle- building potential, you must have all three present. Testosterone increases IGF- 1, but only in the presence of GH. GH promotes skeletal muscle cell fusion independent of IGF- 1, but the two are most effective in concert. Luckily for you, the types of exercises that stimulate the secretion of one will generally stimulate the secretion of the others. Funny how that works out, huh? Enter The Central Nervous System. In order for your body to start pumping out these delicious anabolic hormones, you must first give it a reason to do so. I might even say you should give your genes a reason to express themselves. The most effective way to do this is by notifying the central nervous system. Now, the CNS can be a stubborn bastard, but he’s all you got when it comes to interpreting stimuli and relaying messages to the rest of the body. He’s not easily perturbed, and he won’t bother if you aren’t serious. If you insist on doing nothing but light aerobics or tiny isolation exercises, your CNS will barely notice. If you want to get your CNS’ attention, pick up the intensity. Run some sprints or do some heavy lifting. When you do an exercise like the squat with a heavy weight, all hands are on deck. Your CNS realizes that some serious exercising is going down and notifies the hypothalamus, which in turn talks to your pituitary gland. This tiny – but vital – member of the endocrine system is the gland that dispatches luteinizing hormones to tell the testicles to secrete testosterone. It’s also the gland that synthesizes and secretes GH. IGF- 1 is mostly produced by the liver, but its production is facilitated by the presence of GH, so we can see that it all comes down to CNS stimulation. Chronic cardio doesn’t affect your CNS in any meaningful way, so that’s why we tend to avoid it; vigorous sprints, hard and heavy lifting, and anaerobic output will get its attention, so do plenty of these to maximize muscle growth. Cortisol: A Hormone to Avoid. Promoting muscle and strength growth also requires avoiding excess amounts of catabolic (muscle wasting) hormones like cortisol. Cortisol is the major stress hormone, and it exists for a very legitimate reason (dealing with “flight or fight” incidents, inadequate sleep, anxiety), but in large amounts cortisol increases serum amino acids by breaking down muscle, inhibiting protein synthesis and reducing amino acid uptake by the muscles – all awful things for muscle growth. Compounding the problem even further, the broken- down muscle is converted into blood glucose, which then raises insulin secretion and increases insulin resistance while promoting fat storage. And we all know how great those muscles look with a nice layer of adipose tissue covering them up! On a serious note, most people following the PB already minimize cortisol by getting plenty of sleep and reducing stress, but if you’re preoccupied with building muscle mass and engaging in extended workout sessions to achieve it, avoiding excess cortisol can get tricky: excessive exercise without enough recovery time actually increases cortisol. It makes sense (think of it like your body’s telling you it needs a day or two off), but the desire for more muscle mass drives many to work out to the point of counter- productivity. Just be careful, and give yourself at least a day of rest after a particularly grueling session. Lift Really Heavy Things. If you haven’t figured it out already, you’re going to be doing some heavy lifting in order to put on lean mass. The foundation of your routine should be the big compound lifts: squats, deadlifts, presses (bench and overhead), pull- ups, rows, dips, snatches, power cleans, clean and jerks. These engage multiple muscles while triggering your hormonal response systems. Bodyweight stuff, while valuable, simply isn’t going to get you the strength and mass increases you’re looking for. Testosterone, while useful, only gets really anabolic when you start lifting. You need to get under some decent weight, enough so that your CNS and endocrine system are blasted, but not so much that you can’t maintain proper form. A popular routine is the 5. Popularized by programs like Strong. Lifts and Starting Strength, doing compound lifts for five sets of five reps allows you to strike a balance between strength building and superficial muscle hypertrophy. Done this way, your hypertrophy won’t be purely sarcoplasmic, which results in fluid- filled muscles that look big but don’t see a corresponding increase in actual strength. Instead, the 5. That’s real muscle that would make Grok proud. If you’re lifting heavy and lifting hard, keep your workouts spaced at least a day apart and don’t lift more than 3x/week. Three exercises per session should be perfect. That may not sound like much, but it’ll be plenty if you do it right. Remember, you’re doing big compound movements that will really shock your system, with an emphasis on intensity and power. You don’t want to overwork yourself, release a bunch of cortisol, and set yourself back a few weeks. Squats and deadlifts are absolutely required. They engage the most muscles and produce the biggest hormonal response. They will be the bedrock of your mass building campaign. Most programs recommend doing squats every session, and I tend to agree. You can handle it. The Best Way to Lose Weight Without Exercise or Counting Calories(Play video .

Sugar- Free Diet Tips from Year of No Sugar Book. As more of us question how much sugar we eat because of possible connections to health problems such as obesity, diabetes, cancer, and heart disease, we started wondering: What would it be like to give up sugar? Schaub, a writer in Vermont, decided to find out. For 3. 65 days, Schaub and her husband and two daughters cut out all added sugars. She documented the experience in Year of No Sugar (out in April), Below is an excerpt, plus her best advice for following in her footsteps. Originally, when I first contemplated the idea of a Year of No Sugar, images of cravings, temptation, and deprivation came to mind. My personal mental picture involved me in an Old West- style showdown with one of those wonderful square Ritter chocolate bars: . Mano a mano. In fact, if I could just home- school the kids and avoid all restaurants and social events for the year—in other words if we could just move to a new address under a convenient rock—the project would be a comparative snap. Turns out, at least for me, the social isolation of being on a different wavelength from the rest of the world around you was one of the most difficult parts of all. For example, one day in April we attended the biggest local event I'd seen in my 1. The event was so sudden, so shocking, so deeply upsetting to the community, that within hours plans were being fomented on Facebook for what would eventually blossom into a huge community expression of support and love. The resulting blow- out event featured a pig roast and chicken barbecue, a silent auction of more than a hundred items, a bake sale of gargantuan proportions, live music by a local honky- tonk band, a swing set raffle, tractor rides, and face painting. We showed up to find hundreds and hundreds of people already in line for all of the above. But most of all they were in line for the food. RELATED: Everything You Need to Know About Sugar. Now, we'd been doing no sugar for months now, so you might think by this point I'd have figured this food thing out, right? But then there's that annoying fact that I can be—only sometimes, mind you—a little slow on the uptake. Honestly, amazingly, it really didn't occur to me that we wouldn't be able to eat the majority of food on the menu for this event until we were already there. Meat and pasta salad? Fine, right? Wait, no—pasta salad would have mayonnaise, the pork and chicken had barbecue sauce, so, um, what else? Baked beans, coleslaw. And you can't very well go to an event like this, with hundreds in line behind you waiting their turn, and start asking volunteers nit- picky questions about the pasta salad. You just can't. Fortunately, we had been assuming we'd eat there later in the afternoon as an early dinner, and we had eaten lunch, so we weren't starving. Instead, we focused on everything else: We bought event t- shirts, we bid on items at the silent auction, the kids swung (swang?) on the raffle swing set and got their faces painted. Practically everyone in town made an appearance that afternoon, and in a town of just over 1,0. Now, in our neighborhood, a fundraiser is considered a walloping success if it raises anywhere near the thousand dollar mark. At the end of this particular event an unheard- of $3. Will and Eric, who wandered around the event looking dazed by the outpouring of support. I came home with an empty feeling in me that only partly had to do with the fact that it was getting to be dinnertime. Everyone in the community had come together to help our neighbors Will and Eric, and we were a part of that, certainly. But we all know food is symbolic, food is important. When people break bread together it means something. ![]() At least for the time being, our family was, in some small way, existing apart. RELATED: 7 Ingredients That Are Robbing You of Nutrients. The day before the event, like everybody else, we had gone to drop off our family's auction donation at the firehouse. It was very social, everyone standing around and marveling at the variety and quality of different auction items, (. Goodies of every conceivable shape and size were crowded across two nine- foot tables, jostling for space, in the process of being neatly cataloged and labeled by my friend Rhonda. Rhonda was one of the event's organizers, and also a reader of my blog who regularly posted comments and links to interesting sugar- related articles she came across. Staring wide- eyed at the spread of frostings, sprinkles, chips, jellies, and coconut cream, I joked with Rhonda that I should take a photo of the awe- inspiring spread to post on my blog. I mean, of course it's good, right? The outpouring of emotion was physically visible in response to what was a shocking and violent event. People wanted to express love and comfort in the name of Will and Eric, to literally wrap them up in all that is warm and good and predictable, in an effort to make up for the scary thing that had changed their lives forever. What better way to do this than with a nice coffeecake or tray of raspberry thumbprints? We all understand, implicitly, when dessert is intended this way, as a concrete manifestation of love. What Rhonda's comment made me realize is that it's all well and good to demonize sugar when you're talking about the Big Bad Corporations, sneaking high fructose corn syrup into our ketchup and mayonnaise; it's another thing entirely to go after grandma's lovingly baked molasses cookies. The problem is, nutritionally your body can't tell the difference between the . Fructose is fructose. And an excess of fructose consumption, now at its highest levels ever and still climbing, is making our society sick. I imagine that one day, when the data has become so abundant as to be incontrovertible having a buffet of sugar that rivals the actual food will be considered as socially unacceptable as smoking on airplanes or littering out your car window—things which we as a society once accepted as completely normal yet now we have come to realize the destructiveness of. Nobody's trying to say we can't smoke or drink or throw things away; they're just saying we have to be careful—much more careful—about how we go about it. Same with sugar. Excerpt adapted from Year of No Sugar by Eve O. Schaub, Sourcebooks, April 2. Read on for Schaub's best advice for cutting back on sugar. Top Tips to Skip Sugar. Don't drink sugar. If you do only one thing to limit your sugar intake, avoid sugared drinks: soda, sweetened teas, vitamin waters, sports drinks, and yes, juice. New studies are proving that consuming sugar in liquid form makes you feel less full than the equivalent amount of sugar in solid form. What's left? Unsweetened coffee, tea, milk, and water, water, water. Rethink your snack regime. So- called healthy snacks (flavored yogurts, granola, dried fruits, bars) often have as much or more added sugar as a candy bar. Instead, seek out no- added- sugar alternatives: raisins, nuts, plain yogurt with fresh fruit, popcorn, hummus with veggies, or no- sugar crackers. Several varieties of Larabar are composed entirely of no- added- sugar dried fruit and nuts; I keep these in my purse for Snack Emergencies. RELATED: 1. 0 Portable High- Protein Snacks. Read ingredients—always. I used to think I read ingredients all the time, but I was wrong—I read them sometimes; other times I just assumed that I already knew what was in a product. However, if I learned anything at all from our Year of No Sugar, it's never to assume. Go ahead: Check your tortellini. Your smoked salmon. Your mayonnaise. Your sausages. Your chicken broth. Remember that sugar is sugar. During our Year of No Sugar the question we found ourselves asking the most was, ? Then it's B- A- D. An apple, with all its corresponding fiber and micronutrients still attached is fine—the natural sugar is not extracted. But maple syrup? Evaporated cane syrup? Organic fruit juice? Added sugar by any other name is still added sugar. Order simply at restaurants, and don't be afraid to ask. Once you start asking, you'll be amazed at how much restaurant food has sugar added. If it has a lot of sauce, it's probably hiding a heap of sugar, so avoid the usual suspects of sneaky sugar: dips, dressings, gravies, glazes, soup broths, and marinades. Try cooking and baking with alternative sweeteners. My two favorite sugar alternatives are dextrose powder and barley malt syrup. Dextrose powder is made from corn and I use it in place of granulated sugar; barley malt syrup is a good replacement for viscous sweeteners such as honey or maple syrup. Because they are about one- third the sweetness of regular sugar you'll need to experiment to find the right balance of ingredients, but once you do you'll see you can cook and bake practically anything without added sugar. If experimenting isn't your thing, the subscription website How Much Sugar is a treasure- trove of no- added- sugar recipes. Don't make it a big deal. The last thing people want to hear is how . Sugar in our culture is synonymous with fun, so saying something is sugar- free is tantamount to saying it is fun- free, not to mention probably taste- free. Instead, the proof is in the pudding—or the cake. I find the best strategy is not to mention that the Coconut Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting you brought to the potluck has no added sugar.. RELATED: 5 Desserts You Won't Believe Are Sugar- Free. Make dessert special. Most of us aren't planning to give sugar up forever—even me. Making sugar a special treat helps me not feel like I'm constantly denying myself or trying to live under a rock. Instead, I have only the things I really care about, once in a while: on a weekend or on someone's birthday. You'll find the less sugar you have, the less you crave it, so it's suddenly a lot easier to walk right by that box of store- bought cookies at the office. Instead, save your allotment of added sugar for something truly special, and because it's special, you'll enjoy it all the more. ![]() ![]() Nutrition and Recovery: How Healthy Eating Can Help. Research suggests that changes in your diet can alter brain. Helping Teens Navigate Summer Sobriety.The Paleolithic Diet - Caveman Diet or Hunter- Gatherer Diet. The Paleolithic diet, sometimes referred to as the Paleo diet for short, or also known as the caveman diet, stone age diet or hunter- gatherer diet, is based on the assumption that human beings should be eating the foods that our ancient ancestors ate, because that is the diet that we were genetically designed to eat. It teaches us, and I agree, that most of modern day diseases and health conditions are the result of eating a diet that is not compatible with our biochemistry, gastrointestinal tract and metabolism.
I am a firm believer in the Paleolithic diet because I have the seen the truth of it in my life in numerous ways. I didn't decide one day that I should try the caveman diet and see if it works, I discovered it slowly over the years by listening to what my body told me. I had arrived at a diet that worked for my body and then discovered that it actually had a name, the Paleolithic diet. In my own life, I had developed numerous addictions including alcohol, street drugs, prescription drugs, sugar, caffeine, nicotine and carbohydrates. I found that the key to sobriety in all addictions lies in diet and lifestyle. Healthy Eating in Recovery. An important aspect of this will be ensuring that they consume a healthy diet. In order to take their sobriety to the next level it. Primarily, you must balance the neurotransmitters in the brain and that balance is achieved by eating a diet and living a lifestyle that does not cause overstimulation to or disruption of the neurotransmitters in the brain. Cravings for your substance of choice cease to exist when this is done. I have maintained more than 2. The diet that restores balance to neurotransmitters and stops cravings for addictive substances is one that consists of primarily meat protein, fish, eggs and low- starch vegetables, and a small amount of nuts, seeds and low- sugar fruit. Additionally, over the years I have dealt with a variety of other health issues including fibromyalgia, irritable bowel, Candida overgrowth, anxiety, depression, chronic fatigue, hypoglycemia, adrenal fatigue and migraines and my son had hyperactivity attention deficit disorder. Again, I found that the diet you eat is a primary factor involved in each of these conditions as well. Through my healing journey I tried numerous diets including the macrobiotic diet, vegetarian diet, raw diet etc., but each of these made me feel ten times worse and exacerbated all my conditions. Over time I discovered the diet that made me function most optimally and provided the most relief for any and all of my health issues was a diet that resembled that of the hunter- gatherers diet and consisted primarily of meat and vegetables. I resisted this truth for many years and tried over and over to eat otherwise, but my body would not allow it. The message from my body was loud and clear - - eat nothing but meat and vegetables and small amounts of nuts, seeds and fruits. I am not the type of person who believes something because someone tells me it is so. I must experience something first hand and find it to be my own truth and that is the case with the Paleolithic diet. My body tells me that the healthiest diet without a doubt is the caveman diet. Why does the hunter- gatherer diet address such a large variety of health conditions? Because all health conditions, both psychological and physiological, have two primary roots - - diet and environmental toxins. When you eat garbage food that is not compatible with your biochemistry and loaded with toxins like pesticides, additives, and preservatives, it destroys your organs and systems, which results in degradation of health. The caveman diet consists only of organic foods that your body was genetically meant to eat, therefore it does not disrupt or impair organs, neurotransmitters, gastrointestinal function, hormones like insulin, cortisol, progesterone and estrogen, immune function, blood sugar, circulation and blood vessels, metabolism, nervous system function etc. It's about getting back to our roots in nature and honoring the wisdom of our bodies. This diet was not created by anyone trying to make money or a passing fad. The Paleolithic diet is based on extensive anthropological research of the type of foods our hunter- gatherer ancestors ate, and this research tells us that when humans ate this diet they were free of all the degenerative health conditions that plaque our society today. It is the diet that we are genetically designed to eat through the process of evolution and natural selection. The modern day diet that most of society consumes came about by man with the advent of agriculture and farming practices that were not part of nature's original plan for our bodies and this has been detrimental to our physical and emotional health. By going back to the caveman diet, you are giving your body what it needs to function optimally physically, mentally/emotionally and spiritually. I encourage you to learn more about the Paleolithic diet by reading Professor Cordain's book - The Paleo Diet and The Primal Blueprint by Mark Sisson, and The Paleo Solution by Robb Wolf. Furthermore, prior to the introduction of grains, legumes, sugar and dairy, the onslaught of degenerative health conditions that we see in society today did not exist. These foods contain a variety of substances disrupt the brain, nervous system, endocrine system, metabolism and gastrointestinal tract. If you are having health issues, particularly, obesity, food addiction, sugar or carb cravings, compulsive overeating, alcoholism, irritable bowel, Crohn's or any bowel condition, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, food sensitivities, type 2 diabetes, addiction of any kind, anxiety, depression, hyperactivity, manic- depression, heart disease, high blood pressure, Candida overgrowth, adrenal fatigue, neurotransmitter imbalances, hypoglycemia, memory problems, hormonal imbalances, arthritis, insomnia, any autoimmune disorder, acne or cancer etc., your first course of action is to change your diet. Foods Included in the Paleolithic Diet. You will find some slight variances in the included and eliminated list for the hunter- gatherer diet depending on who you talk to, but here are the general guidelines and what I have found to be true in my own body. This doesn't mean you have to eat it in its raw form, it just means that you can.). Processed foods of all kinds should be avoided, you should be eating foods in their whole and natural state as much as possible. You should not be eating bacon, sausage, chicken fingers, lunch meat etc. Wild game is preferred, because it resembles the food of our ancestors more closely than our modern day chickens, turkey, and beef. Meat should be . So this is your call.) Nuts are better for you, if they are sprouted. Seeds of all kinds. Oils from allowed plants. For example, walnut oil, olive oil, avocado oil and coconut oil are the best choices. Canola oil has been linked to a variety of health conditions. Cordain changed his position on canola oil in his Paleo Diet Cookbook and now advises against it.)Fruits of all kinds. However, fruits that are lower on the glycemic index like berries are most recommended. Dried fruits are very high in sugar and should be limited. Fruit juices should be severely restricted or avoided all together. Small amounts of honey. I recommend extreme restrictions on this food.) Some people allow small amounts of maple syrup, but again I encourage extreme restriction. Our ancestors did not have access to honey very often, so it wasn't something that was eaten frequently. Foods Not Included on the Paleolithic Diet. No sugar of any kind - this includes organic sugar, organic cane juice, evaporated cane juice, maple sugar, date sugar, high fructose corn syrup, etc., etc. No barley malt, rice syrup, agave, fruit juice. Read more about chocolate and raw cacao. It may be eaten as special treat on occasion by some people, but not regularly. No additives, preservatives, nitrates, artificial flavorings or colors. No yeast. No grains of any kind, including whole grains (wheat, oats, corn, barley, rice or alternative grains like millet, quinoa and millet)No dairy. No corn (corn is a grain, not a vegetable)No legumes (beans, peanuts and peas)No peanuts (peanuts are a legume, not a nut)No peas (peas are a legume not a vegetable)No soy (soy is a legume)No pesticides or herbicides (All foods should be organic. Our ancestor's food was not tainted with these chemicals and neither should ours.)Foods That Can be Eaten in Moderation on Occasion. Potatoes (potatoes are poisonous if eaten raw) However, please note that one medium potato is the equivalent of a half a cup of sugar. So it is very important that they are not eaten regularly. Salt - (there is disagreement about this issue)Sweet potatoes, yam or beets. Vinegar (There are different opinions on whether this should be included or not. Balsamic or apple cider vinegar should be used in place of grain based.)Quinoa (This food is not really a grain, however, this food is high in carbs, thus can be very problematic for candida, addictions of all kind, but especially sugar and carb addiction, as well as adrenal fatigue and other health conditions. Slightly more than half of your meal (somewhere between 4 and 8 ounces) should consist of meat protein and the rest should be low- starch vegetables, with a small amount of nuts, seeds, fruits, and healthy oils. In my personal experience, my meals consists of about 6- 8 ounces of meat and about 5- 6 ounces of vegetables with healthy oil and some meals include a small serving of fruit and/or nuts. My meal must contain a minimum of 6 ounces of meat or I cannot maintain proper blood sugar levels. To understand more thoroughly why things like grains and legumes are removed from diet, and why you should eat more meat, you should take a look at the following pages: The Whole Grain Lie Why You Shouldn't be a Vegetarian. It is the largest and most important piece of the puzzle, however, there are other factors that must be taken into consideration as well. Cereal Diet for Weight Loss: Women Who Get Dietary Fiber.

The original diet was based on the original cereal. For the chocolate and other sweeter varieties the serving size is smaller. There is also more refined sugars in the sweet varieties which can spike insulin levels. Even though the breakfast cereal is fortified with vitamins and minerals it is questionable as to the degree that this can make up for nutrients that would otherwise be obtained from a wider range of whole foods. Special K is not based on whole grains and is not a particularly good source of fiber. It is necessary to consume an abundance of fruit and vegetables during the day as well as to include a source of whole grains such as brown rice or legumes in the other meal in order to meet daily minimum fiber requirements. Hunger is likely to be a problem for most people. Special K is high GI and high sugar which can actually trigger an increased appetite for many individuals. The weight may be regained easily when a normal diet is resumed after the two week period. Good or What? Personally, I think incorporating some cereals into your diet can be good – but there are some caveats here: Satiety – From experience, I’ve noticed that wolfing down a bowl of cereal doesn’t always curb the hunger pangs. However having a bit more protein in the mix does keep the pangs at bay. Nutrition – The simple truth is – Special K is better than what most people eat, but it still contains such gems as High Fructose Corn Syrup. Serving for serving, it has less potassium and fiber than oats and more sugar. Compare here and here. The Claim“Lose 6 Pounds in 2 Weeks, but is this typical?

I lost 8 pounds with the Dr. Oz 2- Week Diet — Bless this mess. My baby’s first birthday was on the calendar, and the closer that it came, the more antsy I got try to lose some weight. I know that there are plenty of people who will tell me to be patient with the baby weight, to just eat healthy and it’ll come off, to keep nursing, all kinds of things along those lines. In the past those tips have worked for me, but a few things have changed for me, and they have stopped working. It was time for me to do something. A big something. Here are a few reasons that I decided a full- on diet was what I needed this time: I had my 5th baby over a year ago. The weight came off much easier with my first, second, and even third pregnancy, but five is a lot.

Best Cholesterol Lowering Medicine For Women Lose 15 Pounds With Exercise Best Cholesterol Lowering Medicine For Women How Can I Help My Child Lose Weight weight loss. I’m over 3. 0. Again, weight seemed to come off a little more easily before I turned 3. I haven’t made time to really workout. Sure, I lead an active lifestyle (5 kids 9 and under will do that to you). We hike and swim and garden, but I don’t go to the gym and really sweat it out. I do much better during the school year, but this summer, I have worked out zero times. I already eat pretty healthy. I think my body is used to good food and it’s great at maintaining weight. I feel like some people can cut out soda pop and fast food and lose weight, but I already don’t eat those things, so it’s harder to just cut a little here and there and see results. I did a lot of research when I decided I need a jumpstart to lose weight, and I decided that the Dr. Oz 2- Week Rapid Weight Loss Diet was what I wanted to do. The ideas behind it were really things that resonated with my food philosophy and opinions on what I consider to be healthy eating. I don’t watch the Dr. Oz show, but I happened upon this diet online. I read about it, I watched the show that was filmed about it, and I thought about it for a week and a half before I decided that I wanted to try it. I felt like it aligned with what I feel like healthy eating is. I don’t know much about Dr. Oz; I felt a little leery about putting too much stock in his doctor title because he’s a TV show host too, but the more I’ve read, the more I think he has some pretty sound ideas that he’s telling people. He really pushes whole foods and cutting out things like artificial sweeteners, wheat, and sugars, and that’s something I can get behind. I don’t know if everything he says should be taken to heart (because I literally don’t know what he is or isn’t telling people. ![]() Again, I don’t really watch the show), but all- in- all I think he has some sound ideas and principles behind his diets, programs, and shows. I do think the show tries to “sell” diets, results, and things that people want in order to get viewers to tune in, but that’s the advertising side of things and I can see that for what it’s worth. It’s still a business. The Dr. Oz 2- Week diet is quite restrictive. He tells you what you can eat, and that fills about about a sheet of paper, which means that there are loads and loads of things you can’t eat. The idea is that you have a homemade shake in the morning, eat 6 ounces of chicken, turkey, or fish, one cup plain greek yogurt, . The first time I looked at it, all I could think about where all the things that you couldn’t eat. A little bit of meat and a million veggies sounded awful. When you look at the list of vegetables though, the list includes lentils, kidney and garbanzo beans, and squash. If you can eat lentils and beans, that is really a game changer (the fact that you can’t eat legumes, beans, and lentils on the Whole. ![]() I have never tried it!). When I got to looking, I could make all kinds of things with lentils and chickpeas. Instead of feeling like I needed to only eat vegetables, I shifted my thinking more to vegan eating. I’m not going to be a vegan my whole life, but I sure can do it for 2 weeks (and it wasn’t even a vegan diet – you still eat that cup of yogurt plus the 6 ounces of lean meat. I kept thinking I would find more, but there just isn’t much there. Here’s what you can eat: Wake up: Start day with cup hot water and 1/2 lemon. Breakfast smoothie: Use this recipe. Green tea: Preferably organic. Protein: One 6- oz serving of meat (chicken, turkey or fish) per day. Carbs: 1/2 cup of cooked brown rice a day (otherwise no carbs/starches). Fats: Good fats in moderation (e. Oz website, but I couldn’t tell. As far as I know, you can click around a little on those pages and it tells you what you can and can’t eat without much more direction than that. That’s why I’m here. I really liked this diet and I had success doing it, but I really want to offer you some additional insight so that if you would like to do the diet, you have a better place to start. Here’s my two cents on what you can eat: Wake up: Start day with cup hot water and 1/2 lemon – I hated this and only did it once, more on that later in the post. Breakfast smoothie: Use this recipe – Loved this! This was my first time really using protein powder (I bought this brown rice protein powder on Amazon) and I loved it. I know protein powder very popular, but I always felt like it wasn’t much of a “whole food.” But I have done a lot of reading now, and protein powder is something that I’m going to be using daily from here on out. It’s amazing how full it keeps you. And side bonus, it’s an appetite suppressant! I’m sold on it, and will be adding it to my smoothies from here on out. Green tea: Preferably organic – I also didn’t do this, more on that later. Protein: One 6- oz serving of meat (chicken, turkey or fish) per day – This might not sound like a lot to you, but I felt like it was plenty of meat! I did better if I divided it up into two smaller servings because the whole 6 ounces was a little too much for me to want to eat at one meal. I liked the push to have fish more. I don’t buy it a lot, but I did have it once each week and I just loved it. It was worth the expense because it felt like a delicious treat. There’s a lifestyle or diet called the Mediterranean diet. I’m no expert on it, but from what I have read, this diet is similar to it. It might be helpful for you to know that when you are doing it and looking for your own recipes to make. Carbs: 1/2 cup of cooked brown rice a day (otherwise no carbs/starches) – I didn’t do this. I didn’t feel like I needed this, because I wasn’t craving carbs. I ate enough of the chickpeas, lentils, and kidney beans that I was getting plenty of carbs, and didn’t feel like I need to add them just because I could. Fats: Good fats in moderation (e. These were so satisfying and delicious. Dairy: 1 cup of 2% plain Greek yogurt per day (otherwise no dairy) – I couldn’t find 2% at our little store, so for the first few days I used nonfat. But I was feeling super hungry, so I started mixing the whole milk plain with the nonfat and was much happier. This was actually harder to incorporate than I thought. If I were making falafel and tzatziki sauce or was having chili, then I could eat it in those things. If I didn’t have a recipe on my meal plan where I could add the Greek yogurt easily, then I would add it to my smoothie in the morning (delicious!). It was too hard to just eat plain and I didn’t like it as a vegetable dip that other people might do (too sour). I’m pretty sure that the yogurt is there for the probiotics as well as some calcium, so I didn’t feel like it really mattered when in the day I was eating it. Vegetables: Unlimited low- glycemic vegetables (see list) and Detox Broth (recipe here) – Yay for not having to count calories! I loved having unlimited access to veggies. Sure you get sick of salad, but you can have all the roasted, steamed, grilled, and raw veggies that you want! I liked this flexibility a lot. It was also interesting to see what was considered low- glycemic and what wasn’t. Carrots, sweet potatoes, and corn were all off the list, but you could eat all the peppers and tomatoes you wanted. Snacks: Hummus, pickles, a couple handfuls of nuts – Again, these felt very “Mediterranean diet” to me. I loved loved loved being able to have hummus for a snack. It’s so delicious. Pickles make tuna a million times better, and I like that it says “a couple of handfuls of nuts.” Sometimes when I’m trying to be healthy, I end up eating a million almonds because I can’t think of anything else. They still have a lot of calories and fat (though it’s good, things still need to be in moderation). I tried to eat no more than two servings (2 ounces total) a day of nuts. A few days I ate a little more than that, but I didn’t have my hand in the jar all day, which I feel like I do sometimes. I had normal sugar cravings for two days in a row. The third day, I was craving peanut butter so so so bad. It was all that I could think about for literally two days. I did a little reading about why people crave peanut or nut butters. This article on food cravings was very insightful and useful. Your body is so smart! It normally means that you need more fat, protein, or magnesium. I felt like I had the protein and magnesium under control (I take a good magnesium supplement, plus lots of the lentils and flax seed in the smoothie have it), but I wasn’t so sure about the fat. Instead of giving into my craving, I upped the amount of nuts I was eating by an ounce and I added a whole avocado to my day (I put half of one in my smoothie in the morning for a few days). I also switched out that nonfat yogurt at this point. That really did the trick. I stopped craving just about everything, I stayed full between meals, and I only had a snack in the middle of the afternoon a few times (which is unusual for me). There’s all kinds of amazing vegan recipes that are delicious! Weight loss news, articles and information: TV. Natural. News. com is. They cover topics like health, environment and freedom.

Day Detox Disclaimers. This disclaimer lives on my blog and applies to everything I talk about, but I like to call it out here to be very clear. However, I do have a formal education in nutrition, and 1. I have personally tried and witnessed a lot of “diet” experiments and only share the ones I feel are nutritional sound and effective. With all of that said, I cannot guarantee that everybody will have the experience, so you should be smart when trying on any new dietary habit. You are responsible for your own health. Any recipe or nutrition instruction I provide, should be taken only as recommendation, not prescription. You should always consult with your health care practitioner before making any rash changes in your diet or lifestyle — especially if you have existing health conditions. ![]() The Auto- Immune Nutrition Plan. The Auto- Immune Nutrition Plan: How many times have you sought medical attention to improve a health problem you are facing only to walk out of the office with little indication of a possible diagnosis and a prescription sheet directing you to consume drugs only to treat your symptoms? A known 2. 2 million people in the United States are affected by an autoimmune disease and millions more likely suffer unknowingly (6). Now, what if that prescription sheet had a natural strategy for you to follow that could not only treat your symptoms, but decrease the severity of your disease or disorder and possibly prevent further suffering? An autoimmune diet may be the answer you were originally seeking. What is an Autoimmune Disease? There are 8. 0 known autoimmune diseases in which a broad range of symptoms can manifest in the body (6). In these cases, the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissue after a perceived threat from an otherwise normal food source. ![]() The most common food sensitives are gluten, dairy, eggs and nuts (3, 1. Many factors may trigger an individual’s immune system to function inappropriately such as infectious agents such as bacteria or viruses, genetics, and lifestyle factors. Although we are unable to change our genetic predisposition to autoimmune disease, we can change your lifestyle habits beginning with nutrition (6).
![]() The Immune System. The human body is naturally designed to detect foreign agents in the body such as toxins or cancer cells. Antibodies are created to seek and destroy these harmful invaders flagged as potential threatening agents called antigens. Although these foreign antigens are looking to fit in, once the antibody recognizes them as invaders they alarm other cells to attack and remove the antigen immediately (2). Boost your immune system to fight cancer. Many people with cancer wonder if there’s anything they can do to boost their immune systems — to fight off the. Eating healthy foods regularly can help ward off nearly all types of illness. This also keeps your immune system in optimal working order. DASH diet: Healthy eating to lower your blood pressure. The DASH diet emphasizes portion size, eating a variety of foods and getting the right amount of nutrients. When the immune system confuses normal compounds with harmful antigens such as gluten, its defense mechanisms maintain the body in a chronic state of inflammation. A cascade of destructive physiological effects occur which potentially leads to abnormal tissue growth or organ dysfunction (1). Common Autoimmune Disorders. The following is a list of common autoimmune diseases and autoimmune related disorders compiled by the National Institute of Health (1, 2). Chances are that you may suffer from one of the follow disorders yourself or you know someone who does. Celiac disease. Type 1 diabetes. ![]() Addison’s disease. Systemic lupus. Multiple sclerosis. Grave’s disease (Hyperthyroidism)Rheumatoid arthritis. Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. Psoriasis. Sjogren’s Syndrome. Ulcerative colitis. Scleroderma. Crohn’s disease. Chronic Lyme Disease. Do You Have Any of These Symptoms? Depending on the disease, symptoms of autoimmune dysfunction involve inflammation in the body that may manifest itself in a variety of ways. The most commonly affected organs and tissues include red blood cells, blood vessels, muscles, joints, endocrine glands (thyroid gland, ovaries and testes for example), connective tissue (such as tendons and bone) and the skin. Ideally the human body requires omega- 3 fatty acids in greater concentration because they produce anti- inflammatory effects. Although omega- 6 fatty acids are necessary, a higher concentration of omega- 6 fatty acids in our diet from processed foods, and high amounts of vegetable oils is associated with an increase in molecules which trigger inflammation. Patients with rheumatoid arthritis showed a 7. Crohn’s disease experienced a decrease in their relapse rate. Fatty acids suppress antibodies that alarm the immune system for defense and improve the signaling pathways of cells which cause inflammation. Promote Gut Health. The gastrointestinal tract contains the greatest concentration of immune cells in the body and may be the activation site of fighter cells known as T- cells (9). Diets associated with chronic inflammation of the gut are therefore at a greater increase of developing an autoimmune disease. Increased intestinal permeability allows food allergens to pass through the intestinal wall stimulating the production of antibodies. As you now know, specific antibodies seek to destroy the foreign invader by releasing fighter T- cells which cause chronic inflammation of the intestines. These fighter cells are also released into neighboring tissue and the bloodstream. As a consequence, the entire body is susceptible to an immune response resulting in fatigue, muscle stiffness and skin reactions. Researchers found that 3. IBS) (1. 0). Oxalates and Autoimmunity: If you are experiencing symptom flare ups with no known reason, oxalates may be a source of inflammation for you. Detecting if oxalates may be triggering an autoimmune response in your body can help you heal sooner. Oxalates are naturally occurring compounds in nature found in many protein alternatives such as soy as well as grains, nuts, and some fruits and vegetables. Although some of these foods can be excellent additions to a healthy diet, an unhealthy gut can lead to chronic inflammation, nutrient deficiency, and oxidative stress and damage to the body. One study found that diets supplemented with antioxidants and lower in total fat and caloric intake delayed the onset of Lupus symptoms by stimulating a healthy immune system (6). Antioxidants protect the brain from oxidative stress known to cause aging and the loss of cognitive function (3). The healthy maintenance of the gut and mind interaction is crucial to healthy aging and vitality. Vitamins which act as antioxidants have anti- inflammatory properties inhibiting cytokine activity in autoimmune diseases which signal cells for an inflammatory response. Many herbs high in antioxidants such as curcumin derived from turmeric have been shown to exhibit similar anti- inflammatory control as do synthetic drugs such as aspirin. Vitamin B- 6 has specifically been shown to inhibit macrophages from engulfing foreign matter associated with autoimmune diseases (1). Vitamin B- 6 deficiency is also positively correlated with increased sensitivity to oxalates in food (1. Sunshine is a natural source of vitamin D. People in geographical locations that see fewer hours of sunshine have higher rates of type- 1 diabetes (9). Choose the Right Proteins. Proteins break down into amino acids and their sequence can promote inflammation. Researchers are beginning to find that although such triggers as gluten cause an autoimmune response in people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, it is the chain of amino acids that are contained in the gluten which damage the small intestine (9, 1. Wheat, soy and milk have all been associated with promoting type- 1 diabetes due to how the body perceives the protein contained in these common food allergens. Countries that consume refined wheat flour as a major food source found that there is a higher incidence of type- 1 diabetes. Nightshades can increase calcium deposits in tissue which causes chronic inflammation leading to a cascading effect of adverse health consequences. Damage to the kidney and liver can trigger autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and diabetes. Testing for sensitivities to any known food allergens by using the following biofeedback test or more extensive blood work. Biofeedback Test. Come to a relaxing state lying down in an environment where there are no factors that may contribute to increasing your heart rate. After a few minutes, determine your resting pulse. Take a food allergen in question such as a peanut and place it on your tongue letting it remain there for approximately 2. Follow up by counting your resting pulse a second time. Allergy tests are available as well as blood tests which detect the amount of antibodies and different types of proteins representative of a malfunctioning autoimmune response. Autoimmune Diet Plan. To get started on an autoimmune diet plan, download the shopping guide here (4). Following the diet for 9. The diet eliminates nightshade vegetables, dairy, eggs, chocolate, nuts, and caffeine sources such as coffee and chocolate. It is high in low- glycemic fruits, organic vegetables, organic, grass- fed and pasture- raised protein sources, wild caught fish, fermented foods and healthy fats. Pork and shellfish are eliminated because they are one of the most highly toxic foods you can consume. Pigs and shellfish are scavengers and pollutants containing heavy metals and toxins which are easily absorbed along with the animal’s hormones. People exposed to toxins such as coal miners have an increased risk at developing an autoimmune disease such as rheumatoid arthritis by a minimum of three times the normal expectancy (6). A Lifelong Commitment. Resetting your autoimmune system can leave you with phenomenal physical results. Preventing flare ups of symptoms from reoccurring following a strict 3. Although you may be able to slowly reintroduce limited quantities of inflammatory foods back into your diet, maintaining a healthy gut can prevent the severity of an autoimmune response. Antibiotics deplete the healthy bacteria in your gastrointestinal tract leaving you at risk for harmful pathogens. Detox the body of toxins and chemicals from non- food sources such as skin and hair care products. Your skin is a sponge and your body does not need any additional pollutants. Auto. Immune Nutritional Tips: Switch to organic teas such as green tea or herbal teas instead of coffee. Commit to taking a probiotic and prebiotic daily to promote healthy gut microflora. Eliminate refined sugars which cause inflammation and increase the variety of fruits and vegetables to aid in detoxifying the body of irritants. Replace industrialized vegetable oils with organic, cold pressed coconut oil or extra virgin olive oil to supplement your diet with healthy fats. Avoid any food source that does not come from nature such as artificial sweeteners, synthetic food dyes and preservatives. |
