Avoid big changes because they are difficult to maintain. Count your
carbs, and try to keep them under 100 g or less.

How to Fix the Obesity Crisis by David H. Freedman
p. 40 - 47

FROM BIOLOGY TO BRAIN p.44

THE MOST SUCCESSFUL WAY to date to lose at least modest amounts of
weight and keep it off with diet and exercise employs programs that
focus on changing behavior. The behavioral approach, tested over
decades, involves making many small, sustainable adjustments in eating
and exercise habits that are prompted and encouraged by the people and
the rest of the environment around us.

.. . . To combat obesity, behavioral analysts examine related
environmental influences: Which external factors prompt people to
overeat or to eat junk food, and which tend to encourage healthful
eating? In what situations are the behaviors and comments of others
affecting unhealthful eating? What seems to effectively reward eating
healthfully over the long term? What reinforces being active?
Behavior-focused studies of obesity and diets as early as the 1960s
recognized some basic conditions that seemed correlated with a greater
chance of losing weight and keeping it off: rigorously measuring and
recording calories, exercise and weight; making modest, gradual changes
rather than severe ones; eating balanced diets that go easy on fats and
sugar rather than dropping major food groups; setting clear, modest
goals; focusing on lifelong habits rather than short-term diets; and
especially attending groups where dieters could receive encouragement to
stick with their efforts and praise for having done so.

Studies back the behavioral approach to weight loss. A 2003 review
commissioned by the U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services found that "counseling and behavioral interventions showed
small to moderate degrees of weight loss sustained over at least one
year"‹a year being an eon in the world of weight loss. An analysis of
eight popular weight-loss programs published in 2005 in the Annals of
Medicine found Weight Watchers (at that time in its pre-2010
points-overhaul incarnation) to be the only effective program, enabling
a 3 percent maintained body-weight loss for the two years of the study.
Meanwhile a 2005 JAMA study found that Weight Watchers, along with the
Zone diet (which, like Weight Watchers, recommends a balanced diet of
protein, carbohydrates and fat), achieved the highest percentage (65
percent) of one-year diet adherence of several popular diets, noting
that "adherence level rather than diet type was the key determinant of
clinical benefits." A 2010 study in the Journal of Pediatrics found that
after one year children receiving behavioral therapy maintained a body
mass index that was 1.9 to 3.3 lower than
children who did not. (BMI is a numerical height-weight relation in
which 18.5 is held to be borderline underweight and 25 borderline
overweight.) The Pediatrics report noted that "more limited evidence
sugges ts that these improvements can be maintained over the 12 months
after the end of treatments." A 2010 study in Obesity found that
continuing members of Take Off Pounds Sensibly (TOPS), a national,
nonprofit behaviorally focused weight-loss organization, maintained a
weight loss of 5 to 7 percent of their body weight for the three years
of the investigation. The U.K.'s Medical Research Council last year
declared that its own long-term study had shown that programs based on
behavioral principles are more likely to help people take and keep the
weight off than other approaches. (The study was funded by Weight
Watchers, but without its participation.)

You don't NEED any carbs. Your body can make all the glucose the brain
needs from protein.

Technically, this is true, but since I don't no carb, I would like
somebody like Doug to sign off on this first. IIRC there is a proviso.

In the meantime, here's something to chew on.


"Good Calories, Bad Calories: Fats, Carbs, and the Controversial Science
of Diet and Health"
by Gary Taubes
http://www.amazon.com/Good-Calories-...nce/dp/1400033
462/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1271102831&sr=1-1
(Available at better libraries near you.)

REDUCING DIETS 319

Though glucose is a primary fuel for the brain, it is not, however the
only fuel, and dietary carbohydrates are not the only source of that
glucose. If the diet includes less than 130 grams of carbohydrates, the
liver increases its synthesis of molecules called ketone bodies, and
these supply the necessary fuel for the brain and central nervous
system. If the diet includes no carbohydrates at all, ketone bodies
supply three-quarters of the energy to the brain. The rest comes from
glucose synthesized from the amino acids in protein, either from the
diet or from the breakdown of muscle, and from a compound called
glycerol that is released when glycerides in the fat tissue are broken
down into their component fatty acids. In these cases, the body is
technically in a state called ketosis, and the diet is often referred to
as a ketogenic diet. Whether the diet is ketogenic or
anti-ketogenic‹representing a difference of a few tens of grams of
carbohydrates each day‹might influence the response to the diet,
complicating the question of whether carbohydrates are responsible for
some effect or whether there is another explanation. (Ketosis is often
incorrectly described by nutritionists as "pathological." This confuses
ketosis with the ketoacidosis of uncontrolled diabetes. The former is a
normal condition;
the latter is not. The ketone-body level in diabetic ketoacidosis
typically
exceeds 200 mg/dl, compared with the 5 mg/dl ketone levels that are
typically experienced after an overnight fast‹twelve hours after dinner
and before eating breakfast‹and the 5-20 mg/dl ketone levels of a
severly carbohydrate-restricted diet with only 5-10 percent
carbohydrates.)

For fifty years after William Banting publicized William Harvey's
prescription for a carbohydrate-restricted diet in 1863, the primary
clinical disagreements were on the role of fat in the diet. Banting's
original prescription was a high-fat diet but then it was modified by
Harvey himself and by the German clinicians Felix von Niemeyer and Max
Oertel into lower-fat, higher-protein versions, and by Wilhelm Ebstein
into a version featuring still more fat. "The fat of ham, pork or lamb
is not only harmless but useful," Ebstein wrote.

The notion of a carbohydrate-restricted diet based exclusively on fatty

320 OBESITY AND THE REGULATION OF WEIGHT

meat was publicized after World War I by the Harvard anthropologist-
turned-Arctic-explorer Vilhjalmur Stefansson, who was concerned with the
overall healthfulness of the diet, rather than its potential for weight
loss. Stefansson had spent a decade eating nothing but meat among the
Inuit of northern Canada and Alaska. The Inuit, he insisted, as well as
the visiting explorers and traders who lived on this diet, were among
the healthiest if not the most vigorous populations imaginable.

Among the tribes with whom Stefansson lived and traveled, the diet
was primarily caribou meat, "with perhaps 30 percent fish, 10 percent
seal meat, and 5 or 10 percent made up of polar bear, rabbits, birds and
eggs." The Inuit considered vegetables and fruit "not proper human
food," Stefansson wrote, but they occasionally ate the roots of the
knotweed plant in times of dire necessity.

The Inuit paid little attention to the plants in their environment
"because they added nothing to their food supply," noted the Canadian
anthropologist Diamond Jenness, who spent the years 1914-16 living in
the Coronation Gulf region of Canada's Arctic coast. Jenness described
their typical diet during one three-month stretch as "no fruit, no
vegetables; morning and night nothing but seal meat washed down with
ice-cold water or hot broth." (The ability to thrive on such a
vegetable- and fruit-free diet was also noted by the lawyer and
abolitionist Richard Henry Dana, Jr., in his 1840 memoirs of life on a
sailing ship, Two Years Before the Mast. For sixteen months, Dana wrote,
"we lived upon almost nothing but fresh beef; fried beefsteaks, three
times a day . .. [in] perfect health, and without ailings and failings."

Hi Alan,

Good luck with your weight loss, it's hard to begin with but just
think how great you'll feel when you reach your targets!

My main piece of advice to you would be to go for low GI carbs -
wholemeal bread, porridge etc, it will keep you fuller for longer and
make you feel like snacking a lot less. Don't cut out carbs completely
- they are an essential cornerstone of any diet.

Not true, unless metabolic syndrome is essential.


Hope that helps,

I like atkins as a starting point. The new book is quite good:
"The New Atkins for a New You" (c) 2010

But ultimately you have to find your own foods and way of keeping track.
I felt much better overall after a few weeks of doing a modified
induction phase, which for me was about 50 grams of carbs per day. My
hip pain went away completely after one month and has not come back. It
was hip pain that was with me for 15 years, and it often interfered with
my active lifestyle, so it's a big deal for that to be cured.

Since I began doing low carb (again) in September, I've modified it
somewhat into what I would call a controlled carb diet, but I watch all
my macronutrient levels now: protein, carbs and fats. I couldn't do it
any other way because counting carbs alone didn't work: I felt better,
but I didn't lose any weight at all because I was eating far too much
fat and protein. In my opinion, full counting is the only way.

I record what I eat in a custom spreadsheet and use codes to retrieve
nutritional information of what I've eaten and entered before. It's
quick until I eat a new food or a complicated meal, which I have to
break down the best I can and enter ingredients and nutritional
information for each.

With this I can see totals each day for the following :
Calories
Fat grams
Protein grams
Sodium mg
Fiber grams
Sugar Alcohol grams (don't eat much of this)
Carb grams
Net Carb grams

My personal guidelines a
100g protein, 100g carbs, 150-250g fat per day

Since I run 5 to 7 hours per week and also do hiking and other
activities, I need more fuel some days. The 100g protein should be
enough most of the time. The 100g carbs lets me enjoy a bigger range of
foods, and isn't too much for my lifestyle. For me, I know when I've
eaten too many carbs because the formerly a very troublesome hip will
talk to me a little, but it's been excellent for the last 5 months, and
it's condition seems very directly related to the carb level.

I'm still experimenting and adjusting these levels, and I go above them
sometimes, but I now know exactly what I'm eating on a marco level, and
I can analyze that over time. Well worth the time it takes. I found
online nutrition counters difficult to use though, and I just rolled my
own in a spreadsheet. Easy for me since I've done tons of stuff in Excel
for work.

There is one macro which looks up food code (I make up all the codes) in
previous entries. It search the most recent entries first (bottom up) so
that I can change the code's meaning over time if I want. If a match is
found, it copies the nutritional information based on the new quantity.
So all you have to enter for previously eaten foods is the quantity and
the code. It will fill in the date and everything else. If you leave the
quantity blank it will use 1. Quick and dirty, as programmers say, so
you have to eyeball the results, but it works 99% of the time smoothly.

But the other huge key to controlled carb eating for me has been baking
my own bread, cookies and other things. I even have a cookie-bread that
is more like bread but with more oil and more sweetener (splenda). Once
I started making my own lower carb bread, I knew I could stick to this
lifestyle. While you can buy low carb bread, it's expensive and you
can't always find it easily. Baking is the key, and it's not hard at
all. I can also enter all ingredients into my spreadsheet, total them,
and divide by the number of slices I've cut it into, so then all I have
to enter for bread is ABS (short for Atkins bread slice), and it will
fill in the exact nutrition in one slice, etc.

To lose 5 kg in a month is a great achievement. Its not easy to say but is hard to do and perform. Because whenever we go to perform any activity or take challenge then we come to know that how hardships we have to face.

That is really good thing. You can loose more than 5 kg but the main point is yo have to keep up with it otherwise you will gain more weight.
