Overcoming Weight-Loss Inequity

Overcoming Weight-Loss Inequity

Weight management inequity tends to exasperate many seeking to lose weight. 

I.  A Clearly Visible Problem

We look around and see skinny people (less of them as the growing overweight and obesity epidemic envelopes two thirds of adults in America).  More vexing still, many who seem thin also embrace terrible dietary practices.  They seem to be able to down copious quantities of the worst high glycemic junk foods with impunity. 

Whether we say it or not, a part of us demands, "Where is the justice in this?"

II.  A Misunderstood Cause

As presented in 1 to 5 Weight-Loss without Dieting, insulin resistance is the culprit in this apparent inequity.

Our metabolisms become overwhelmed by a constant barrage of carbohydrates (the American dietary trend is one of ever increasing high carb, high glycemic binging). 

The mechanism is explained clearly in 1 to 5 Weight-Loss without Dieting, but the short of it is that our cells become resistant to the ongoing barrage of insulin produced by our bodies to transport the glucose that results from eating carbohydrates.

Still, some will ask, "Why do thin members of our population appear able to withstand this high carb barrage without gaining weight?"

III.  A Genetic Basis for Aging

It would appear that the cells of these individuals are able to handle the inundation of insulin that results from a high carb diet.

The reason is likely to be found on the genetic level.

Just as the Hayflick Limit -- described in Chapter Fourteen of 1 to 5 Weight-Loss without Dieting -- dictates the genetic rate of aging, so it is suspected (by me, at least!) that a genetic operator controls our cellular ability to tolerate the insulin barrage of ongoing high carb eating.

A parallel may be seen in the work of Nobel Laureate Elizabeth Blackburn.  She discovered that the "ends" of chromosomes (telomeres) are shortened in cell replication.  This continues until a "terminal" shortening resulting in cell death occurs. 

This process explains the results of aging that we all experience.

IV.  A Parallel Genetic Basis for Insulin Resistance

What if a similar genetic process operates with regard to carbohydrate metabolism?

What if a genetic receptor that controls cell ability to process insulin is "shortened" at genetically determined rates?

Insulin resistance would then be a result of a combination of insulin exposure by dietary practices AND by genetic inheritance (that predetermines our ability to tolerate an ongoing carbohydrate mediated insulin barrage).

If this is the case -- and I suspect it is -- then it should be possible to identify a genetic means by which insulin "shortened" genes could be restored.

When this is discovered, excess high carb eating would not have to produce the epidemic of obesity threatening and destroying the health of untold millions.

V.  A Wonderful Solution

Until then, those of us who have embraced the 1 to 5 Weight-Loss without Dieting approach feast up to eight times per day on the most amazingly delicious and healthful low-carb, high healthful fat, high protein foods imaginable!

• I've never eaten better, never eaten more and never enjoyed eating as much as I do now!  I weigh what I weighed in high school (about 176 pounds), enjoy increasing participation in mountain biking, tennis and weight lifting, wear slim clothes (which I think make me look better!) and have more energy and acuity than ever!

 I.  So Many (Ineffective) Choices

There are so many books on weight-loss -- with myriads of approaches to shedding pounds -- that it is difficult to know where to begin.

The tendency is to jump on the popularity band-wagon and gravitate toward a media name.

As a result most weight-loss approaches feature a guru who serves as a sort of Pied Piper seeking to lead readers on some sort of journey.  Along this journey the reader typically encounters numerous opportunities to spend money ultimately connected to the Pied Piper playing the tune to which the reader is expected to dance.

One can only sympathize with readers who are weary of the charade.  Worst of all the reader rarely receives the benefit they sought in the first place:  Effective and ongoing weight-loss.

II.  A Truly Effective and "Freeing" Choice

On the other hand, 1 to 5 Weight-Loss without Dieting allows the reader to experience weight-loss freedom.  There are no gadgets, gizmos, "super secret formula" magic pills or paraphernalia that falsely promise to transport us from fat to thin. 

Instead, 1 to 5 Weight-Loss without Dieting leads to ongoing weight-loss success without the need to give up dietary choice and freedom.  In this process we are NOT required to march to the tune of so-called experts whose counsel may merely foster the ongoing epidemic of obesity.

The futility of these other approaches contrasts with true weight-loss freedom in which we are free to eat any truly low-carb, healthful high fat, high protein foods we desire -- up to eight times per day!

III.  Without Knowledge People Perish

As a point of caution here, it is necessary to have sufficient knowledge of what this means so that the process of weight-loss without dieting is effectively applied to one's personal lifestyle.

In the process of adopting the 1 to 5 Weight-Loss without Dieting approach we are freed from the typical increasing propensity toward insulin resistance that most experience.  As explained in the preceding article, insulin resistance is identified as the underlying mechanism for the growing overweight and obese population.  Further, insulin resistance is a precursor to diabetes, heart disease, certain forms of cancer and numerous other maladies.

Virtually all of the "popular" weight-loss approaches fail to recognize -- much less deal with -- this critical reality.

More to the point, until insulin resistance is properly dealt with most are unlikely to have long-term success in their weight-loss efforts.

IV.  The Benefits of Freedom Weight-Loss

1 to 5 Weight-Loss without Dieting builds weight-loss freedom by simply, easily and effectively dealing with insulin resistance.

So what are the benefits?

• Lose weight without dieting

• Overcome the excess weight generating condition that sets up disease

• Experience delicious food flavors that have been hidden by high-carb eating

• Increase energy levels, vitality and mental acuity

• Return to a more active lifestyle

Now that's freedom weight-loss!

Identifying the Mechanism of Wieght-Gains and Obesity

 

How to Lose Weight without Dieting

Identifying the Mechanism

of Weight-Gains and Obesity

Author's Link at:  http://amazon.com/author/crhornbeckkaiser

I.  Quest for a Weight-Loss Mechanism

A fascinating aspect of "weight-loss without dieting" (see the:  1 to 5 Weight-Loss without Dieting book) is the reference to the Journal of the American Medical Association observation on low-carb weight loss.  The JAMA article notes that the effectiveness of low-carb eating in weight loss is poorly understood and awaiting a descriptive mechanism that explains the weight reduction.

It is as if researchers are baffled by the favorable results that follow a low-carb, high healthy fat, high protein eating regimen.

Interestingly, most who champion this dietary approach also appear to have no idea why it works.  Paleo dieters -- whose approach is similar in many regards to low-carb eating -- also lack "a mechanism" that explains the benefits.  Arguments that "its the way our ancestors ate" miss the point of actually explaining why the body responds the way it does to low-carb, high healthful fat, high protein eating.

II.  The Weight-Loss Mechanism Described

The impact of the actual mechanism is applied, however, in the 1 to 5 Weight-Loss without Dieting book's unique term "carbaholic."  The book explains that "carbaholism" is the addictive overconsumption of carbohydrates.  This addictive eating pattern is rampant in the American dietary lifestyle -- a lifestyle built upon the consumption of ever increasing quantities of highly refined, high glycemic foods (foods that are rich in sugars and starches).

1 to 5 Weight-Loss without Dieting explains and incorporates the Low-Carb Regimen (LCR) mechanism for successful weight-loss within its pages (see especially Chapter Fifteen, but also the entire book):

• 1)  The majority (if not most) of the American population and (as the American "carbaholic" eating pattern becomes more widespread) increasing portions of the world are overweight or obese as a result of insulin resistance effects.

• 2)  Insulin resistance tends to respond to a properly adopted low-carb eating regimen.

• 3)  And therefore, the mechanism for the effectiveness of the low-carb eating regimen in losing weight is that the weight-loss tends to be a by-product of dealing with insulin resistance.

Again, this mechanism is indicated throughout the 1 to 5 Weight-Loss without Dieting pages (in both the Kindle and the matching printed editions) and stated specifically on page 140 of the book.

III.  How Does This Impact Other Dieting Approaches?

Counting calories to lose weight tends to only be effective as a result of -- indirectly -- reducing high carb, high glycemic foods.  Further, the general ineffectiveness of reducing calories as a weight-loss strategy tends to be a result of the failure to add sufficient healthful fat and protein along with any reduction in high carb foods.

In other words, those who lose weight through reducing calories may be actually receiving a "trickle down" benefit from lower carb eating.  Further, those who fail to lose weight by reducing calories may be experiencing the logical result of low-carb -- without high healthful fat and high protein -- dieting.  

A similar argument applies to "paleo" and Atkins dieting as well as other diets that reduce carb intake.

The 1 to 5 Weight-Loss without Dieting book includes simple to follow step-by-step instructions for weight-loss without dieting, menus and recipes as well as detailed explanations of the insulin resistance mechanism!

Dry Roasted versus Raw Almonds in Low-Carb Dieting

1 to 5 Weight-Loss without Dieting

Guide to the Low-Carb Regimen

 

Author's link at:  http://amazon.com/author/crhornbeckkaiser 

Introduction:

Publishing technology is a source of amazement! 

The 1 to 5 Weight-Loss without Dieting printed version was just finalized last weekend.  As I type this, the book is available worldwide on Amazon's bookstore in both printed and Kindle editions.  Barnes and Noble and numerous smaller bookshops also list the book as available!

As a result, interacting with readers undertaking the weight-loss without dieting regimen (LCR) has opened great avenues of discussion:

I.   Dry Roasted Almonds vs. Raw Almonds

The 1 to 5 Weight-Loss without Dieting book promotes dry-roasted almonds rather than raw almonds.  Here's why:

1.  Raw almonds are normally purchased in bulk rather than in modest portion snack packs (the dry-roasted almond portion suggested in the 1 to 5 Weight-Loss without Dieting book).  The difficulty, then, in bulk raw almonds is that although almonds are low in carbs, eating too many of them each day may interfere with a fat-burning metabolism.

A single "100 calorie" packet of dry-roasted almonds (about 23 almonds) is 2 to 3 net grams of carbs.  While it is true that raw almonds have virtually the same net carb count -- and nutritional composition -- as dry roasted almonds, bulk quantities of raw almonds are difficult for many to portion.  The tendency is to eat too many for effective carb control.

2.  In addition, raw almonds are discouraged by many due to potential bacterial -- salmonella -- contamination (evidently not a problem with dry-roasted almonds due to the heat processing).  See the following articles:

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2012-10-27/almond-recall/4337064

http://www.foodsafetynews.com/2013/07/fda-to-evaluate-risks-of-salmonella-in-tree-nuts/#.UhqYEnDnZdc

http://www.livestrong.com/article/349980-raw-almonds-vs-roasted-almonds/

The last reference concludes:

As long as salt or oil is not added to dry roasted almonds, both raw and roasted almonds provide the same nutritional benefit.

3.  While raw almonds are chewy, they do not have the same "crunch" as the dry-roasted variety.  As explained in the 1 to 5 Weight-Loss without Dieting book, the "feedback" from the dry-roasted crunch may benefit the weight-loss without dieting process.

Remembering that net-carb count is calculated by subtracting grams of fiber from total grams of carbs for EACH PORTION -- for me -- dry-roasted almond 100 calorie snack packs are lower carb than bulk raw almonds.

This also applies to protein bars:  Beware of protein bars that claim low carb counts but then -- in the small print -- inform you that a single bar is TWO PORTIONS (so you get double the carbs you think you are getting!).

Conclusion:

As the book emphasizes, each of us is unique and what works best for each of us -- so long as we activate a nutritionally healthful fat-burning process -- is simply a matter of preference.

Having said this, the 100 calorie dry-roasted almond snack packs have proved effective in establishing and maintaining a fat-burning metabolism.  If you are not experiencing success in your approach, this may be an area for your consideration.

The LCR is the only weight-loss plan that has worked for me. Over the years I lost 104 pounds and gained back 190:  Other approaches that I have used -- calorie counting, weight loss pills, dietary drinks, exercising, fad diets, etc. -- left me feeling hungry, tired, sore and with only temporary (if any) results. I could NOT maintain the unrealistic and ineffective methods of these approaches. Worst of all was the ongoing discomfort of hunger, something we do not experience while following the regimen in this book!

1 to 5 Weight-Loss without Dieting is a featured book on bookdaily.com (August 3, 2013).
