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

"FOB" wrote: You don't NEED any carbs. 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." .. -- Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.

Smith ALan -- smithalan00 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.

message ... Helooo friends !!!! This is ALan Smith I am Working as a content writer I am bit bulky so loose the weight I have joined the Gym. Still I have not concentrated on my diet so please suggest me Low Carbohydrate Diets..... Smith ALan 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. -Tony |

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.
