“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“Treating obesity will come not from repetition of anachronistic preconceptions [outdated theories] but rather from the rigorous scientific approach.”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.

For example, subjects in a University of Minnesota experiment were prescribed a regimen of eating less and exercising more for weight loss. Taking a […]
In the last post reviewed a small sampling of the mass of research showing that getting a balanced amount of protein (about third of our calories) from natural sources is healthy and helpful for long-term fat loss. So how did the myth that protein is bad for us get started in the first place? The […]
“Few public health messages are as powerful and as persistent as this one: Fat is bad…The average American has substantially reduced the percentage of calories that she or he gets from fat over the past three decades…But we are not any healthier for all of this effort. In fact, we are worse off for […]
“Simply lowering the percentage of energy from total fat in the diet is unlikely to…reduce coronary heart disease incidence.” – F.B. Hu, Harvard University Overcoming the fear of fat is critical to eating a natural, balanced ratio of nutrients. We should never again skip SANE sirloin steak and non-starchy vegetables in favor of inSANE […]
