Healthy Diet at Home

This afternoon, Jimmy Moore popped up in my Facebook feed. Since he follows a Nutritional Ketosis program rather than the Atkins Diet, I rarely read his blog any more, but I do read his Facebook posts when I'm there. In this particular Facebook post, Jimmy was quite upset. Apparently, a couple of twin doctors in Europe (Alexander and Chris Van Tolleken) decided to do a 30-day experiment to discover for themselves which was worse for a dieter: eating sugar or fat. I could tell by Jimmy's Facebook comments that the low-carb diet the article's author had decided to follow didn't turn out very well. He took offense at the doctor's personal experience of being "thick headed" during those 30 days, and argued that the doctor wasn't following a Nutritional Ketosis diet, so he might not have really been in Ketosis. Plus, 30 days is not long enough to become keto-adapted. In Jimmy's opinion, anything other than the Nutritional Ketosis parameters he follow...

There is a lot of confusion these days about metabolism. It seems to be a scapegoat that people like to blame when weight loss doesn’t happen easily. If they’re following a low carb diet and struggling to succeed, then they believe that all of those years of eating carbohydrates must have destroyed their metabolism and made them fat. On the other side of the argument are those who oppose low carb dieting. These people claim that carbohydrate restriction will permanently alter your metabolism, but what’s the truth? Will eating carbohydrates or following a low carb diet ruin your metabolism – or not? What is Metabolism? Low carb dieters generally do not like to hear about the energy equation. Dr. Atkins told us that we no longer need to worry about calories, so most people believe the energy equation isn’t applicable to them. Calories don’t matter, they say. Dr. Eades has tried to set the record straight, but far too many people still do not want to go outside and drag the equation bac...

[music] so you got 4 workoutscovering the whole body over a 6-day period. having said that,you gotta be flexible. if you need an extra day forrecovery, then take an extra day so that'll become 4 days over 7. some people may need even more,you gotta listen to your body. if you need more days to recoverthen, you know, just extend that cycle into 7 days or 8days or whatever you need. extra negatives are atool that you can use to increase the intensity. basically, you gotthree phases of strength. the weakest phaseis the positive or the lifting of the weight. that's the weakest phase. the second phase ofstrength is the static. you're stronger on the static. and then the thirdphase is the negative. unfortunately, a lot of peoplethink in terms of just lifting weight so for instance,a bench press, they lifted theweight to the top. all right, job done andjust drop it back down and do another one. they're missing half of the repand possibly the most important half of the rep beca...

hi guys! today i am sharing a look back at what i ate today. so a lot of you have been requesting vegetarian ideas, and i do eat a lot of plant based food, but i am not vegan, um and i usually eat more plant based at home and not so much when i go out, but that's not always the case and since you've been requesting it i thought today i would share what some of those things i eat at home are when i happen to eat them. um so it's just to give you some ideas and also show you that you know you don't need to fit into that cookie cutter box of a lifestyle or diet and what that needs to look like and you can cater it to fit you and your preferences and how you feel that day. so let's get to it. so i started out my morning with a simple bowl of fruit. i had strawberries and bananas. and i usually like to start out my day with fruit, especially if i am working out in the morning, which i prefer to do because i don't like to feel to heavy when i'm at the gym. today a...

Beef Sensitivity? I’ve wrestled with myself for the past couple of days about “where” to place this post. I didn’t want to discourage anyone from entering into, or sticking with, a typical low carb diet. Atkins and The Protein Power Lifeplan both work equally well for most individuals, though they do differ in application. Honesty finally won. But since the relevancy of this topic falls across several of my blogs, I’ve decided to focus here on how my current problem relates to general low carb diets. Recently, I decided that since my weight had reached the upper limits for a maintenance phase, I would enter into Atkins Induction to carve off the body fat I’d gained – knowing that the first week’s weight loss would be mostly glycogen and water. That held true; I weighed in at 158 pounds last Friday, down almost 5-1/2 pounds for the first week. But I didn’t expect what happened next. I have one more day to go to keep my Atkins Induction commitment, but…I’m seriously reconsidering that de...

My experience with low carb dieting began in the 70s when I ran into Dr. Atkins’ original diet book at the library. At the time, it made a lot of sense. I could relate to everything he shared – and when I tested it, the plan worked better than anything I’d tried. I was 19, weighed in at a hefty 160 pounds on a 5-foot frame, and with virtually no metabolic resistance, that one golden shot earned me maintenance within only 6 weeks. I realized the other day, that’s exactly where I’m sitting again today. I’m back to where I started from in 1975. A whole lot older, hopefully wiser, but despite finding out how to deal with my health issues, I’m still at the same starting line. Yes, I managed to shed a whopping 80 pounds in 2007; and another 30 pounds last year – but that was above where I first began my low carb journey. I’ve regained a good 10 pounds of that last 30 though. So what gives? WHY is weight loss so hard to maintain? Atkins 72: What was the Original Atkins Diet Like? I can tell y...

hello everybody diana here and welcome to my series hormonal balances for simple weight loss. this video, we're going to cover the hormone insulin. insulin's main function in the body is to carry the sugar in your blood to the cells. and the cells will uptake that sugar and convert that sugar either into energy or into body fat. another thing that insulin is important for is recovering from exercise and building muscle tissue. insulin also plays a huge role in metabolism. the problem is when we have too much insulin, it can prevent the breakdown of body fat. so how do we end up with a high-level of insulin? well, by getting sugar into our bloodstream. so what gets sugar into our bloodstream is carbohydrates. and let me just explain something about carbohydrates here. we have the complex carbs, we have simple carbs, and we have man-made carbs. now the complex carbs... the complex carbs when they go into your body it takes your body a long time to break it down and to process it ...
