I can remember communicating with Jimmy Moore several times back then, as he was doing the Kimkins Diet himself, but I couldn’t find anything I had actually posted to this blog. People were very emphatic back then that you had to eat a certain amount of dietary fat. You had to eat a ton of protein, and you had to get a certain amount of calories, or you were not doing low carb. Because of these self-made dietary restrictions, these same individuals refused to call Kimkins a low carb diet. They insisted it was a glucose-burning diet, even though it...

let me tell you about the 3 week diet system that i've created and why i am one hundred percent certain that it will work for you first, the 3 week diet focuses on providing you with only the essential nutrients that your body needs for good health and proper functioning while eliminating all those nutrients that slow and even stop you from burning fat five bite diet, by combining those foods that work together to burn fat the 3 week diet works like nothing else you've ever tried before it does this by addressing your body's hormones and how those hormones affect your ability to burn fat and lose weight in other words, the 3 week diet provides you with a specially tailored step-by-step blueprint that tells you what to eat, how much to eat, and when to eat it now, the 3 week diet is not another one of those 300-page diet novels that bores you with statistics, studies and journal excerpts if you're like most people i know you just want a straightforward step-by-step plan ...

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...

I recently received a comment from a reader that suggested my lack of dieting success was probably due to my inability to stay with one particular low-carb diet plan long enough to reap results. The advice I received was to go on a low-carb, high-fat diet and give it six months or more to work before analyzing.  That was similar to the advice I received from the zero-carb folks a few years ago when despite the fact that I had gained about 20 pounds in the first three weeks and was experiencing abnormally high blood glucose levels, they told me to eat only beef, drink only water, and wait six months before reviewing the results. They didn't seem to care about the resurrected neuropathy. They were just sure that their way was the only way.  The problem with that type of advice is that it doesn't work for everyone.  Take Responsibility for Your Own Health Correcting metabolic issues isn't always as easy as lowering your carbohydrate level. For example, I'm juggling vertigo...

My diet break obviously refilled my glycogen stores, since I was eating more carbohydrates, but that wasn’t a surprise. I was okay with the eight-pound weight regain because everything happened exactly as Lyle McDonald said it would. Although each of us have the potential to hold different amounts of glycogen in our liver and muscles, there was no reason to believe those eight pounds were fat. I was used to inputting everything I ate into Fitday, and that didn’t stop during my break, so it was easy to keep tabs on my daily calorie count. That helped to keep me zeroed into maintenance. Overall, my complete diet break went well, except that I took my husband’s suggestion and enjoyed a full month off from dieting that Dec...

The newest diabetes diet recommendations came out a few days ago: eat more carbs, and use drugs to keep your blood glucose under control. Scary stuff. Diabetes Health Magazine recently ran an article by Hope Warshaw entitled “Type 2 Diabetes: From Old Dogmas to New Realities – Part 2.” In that article Warshaw first focuses on and ridicules weight loss for diabetics in connection with better glucose control, and then likewise attacks a low carb diet – calling both of them old dogma. For those who have actually studied the principles and science behind carbohydrate restriction and/or have put them to the test, adversity against our own personal truth and experience isn’t new. But when someone looked to as an authoritative voice presents that, a minimum carbohydrate intake of 45% of daily calories is the new reality for diabetics, it’s hard to walk away and let that be. Is Weight Loss for Diabetics Really Dogma? When I was first diagnosed with pre-diabetes, my physician believed that if I...

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 ...
