While researching weight loss, University of Wisconsin researchers R.E. Keesey and M.D. Hirvonen discovered that “metabolism declines by an amount significantly in excess of that expected from the loss in metabolically active tissue. We have observed a drop of 24.6% in daily resting energy expenditure when the body weight of rats was reduced (by caloric […]
It’s great to see articles like this that reinforce how a healthy body/mind automatically balances calories in and calories out…and how food quality is key to keeping the brain balancing us out automatically. “Responsibility for monitoring calorie input and energy output falls to the brain. And the job is not easy, says endocrinologist Michael Schwartz, […]
Here’s a recent guest post I did for Diets In Review. Hope it’s helpful 🙂 Which of the following statements are true? a. A pound of feathers weighs the same as a pound of lead. b. We have to consciously decrease calories in or increase calories out in order to burn fat. c. All […]
“[Governmental] dietary guidelines necessarily are political compromises between what science tells us about nutrition and health and what is good for the food industry.” – M. Nestle, New York University As our knowledge of the human body becomes ever more exact, scientists have made remarkable leaps forward in many fields. We have completed the […]
I recently stumbled upon a beautiful quote by the American novelist and short story writer Nathaniel Hawthorne: Happiness in this world, when it comes, comes incidentally. Make it the object of pursuit, and it leads us on a wild-goose chase, and is never attained. Follow some other object, and very possibly we may find that […]
“Although low-fat high-carbohydrate diets are recommended…in an effort to reduce the risk of coronary artery disease, the results of short-term studies have shown that these diets can lead to…an increased risk of coronary artery disease.” – The American Diabetes Association As with other popular misconceptions about how our bodies work, confusion runs rampant about […]
“Treating obesity will come not from repetition of anachronistic preconceptions [outdated theories] but rather from the rigorous scientific approach.” – J.M. Friedman, Rockefeller University You and I already know that we can eat more—smarter—by consuming more, higher-quality calories. But we first need to know what the highest-quality calories are, where we can get them, […]
Type 2 diabetes/prediabetes. But what exactly is it and what can be done about it? If left untreated, insulin resistance turns into type 2 diabetes. To quickly understand type 2 diabetes, let’s go back to the example of the clogged sink. Type 2 diabetes is like running water into a clogged sink for so long […]
Eating less does not cause long-term fat loss. Exercising more does not cause long-term fat loss. Thinking in these terms won’t help you. The issue is not calorie quantity, but poor calorie quality causing a hormonal clog that removes your fat metabolism system’s need and ability to burn body fat. One more time, the issue […]
“There is a general consensus in the literature that protein stimulates dietary-induced thermogenesis [burning of calories] to a greater extent than other macronutrients.” – D. Paddon-Jones, University of Texas “Convincing evidence exists that protein exerts an increased thermic effect [calorie burning] effect when compared to fat and carbohydrate.” – T.L. Halton, Harvard University Eating […]
