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!
