Thread: Everything low carb diet

load of bollox

just a couple of quacks trying to jump on the bandwagon

Exactly my sentiment^ you really need to get of your arse and burn them carbs off. a good ride on the bike in the morning work up a good sweat and detox at the same time

I would like to clarify my personal positon a bit. I don't talk about extreme diets like the low carb Atkin Diet where carbs are extremely reduced.

Any long term healthy diet needs to be balanced between fat, protein and carbs. That balance has been shifted in the direction of carbs by the anti-fat fad. It should be shifted back a little in the direction of fat.

To certain degree, yes. For example if you were born with a life altering medical condition. Aside from that, you are in complete control of your health. The diseases that plague the world has virtually nothing to do with genetics but rather lifestyle.

In term's of low carb diets. They are arguably the most effective for weight loss. They also are fantastic options for people with metabolic syndrome.

However, there is nothing wrong with carbs providing you are keeping your intake within a reasonable range. I really don't think the macronutrient content matters. What matters is eating real food, staying active, minimizing stress and for the most part just being happy and enjoying life. That plays alot more of a role then people think.

When I say real food, I mean food that wasnt manufactured in a lab, isnt processed junk thats loaded with a ton of additives. Thailand for the most part does alot of things VERY well when it comes to diet. They eat alot of real food, the ones I know don't wake up and feed their kids pop tarts and cocoa puffs. They feed them something like "johk gai" which is like rice porridge but with chicken and often times a couple of eggs. Not ideal but far better than what most people would get back in the West. Thai's also eat alot of vegetables, fruit and they aren't afraid to eat organ meats such as liver. Organ meats believe it or not are very nutrient dense foods, far more nutritious than the muscle meats we so commonly eat in the West.

The problem with Thai food is they cook with garbage vegetable oils and they do eat alot of sugar, alot of it from unnatural sources.

Wow, I kind of went off-topic there.

yeah thats true. Thai's love to add some artificial flavourings into some of their food. MSG being one of them. They key is to really not eat at restaurants. Doesn't matter where in the world you are.

Cook at home, its healthier and cheaper.

so, for a normal lifestyle, try to cut down on sugars and fats, eat plenty of veggies and fruits

if you calorie intake is less than you burn, then you will stay slim

whatever you eat

Came across this now. Good post.

Most diet's, a huge majority of them in fact are not sustainable. The one's who place an emphasis on calorie counting/restriction you should run the other way. Calories do a play a role in body weight regulation but a very minor one. The key is to eat nutritionally dense food, and avoid processed food along with limiting sugar intake.

Fat is completely fine though providing it is fat from natural sources as opposed to the heaps of trans fats people consume from many of the foods we eat today.

Some more...

It's pretty sensible and simple.

The videos are on youtube. If youtube is slow, there's not much you can do about it but wait. The link goes to Mark'sDailyApple, a website. It doesn't have videos. Once in a while the site's down for maintenance. It could be that it's getting too many hits and the server is overloaded or something like that, too.

Just something related. Watch out for those colas!

Some more breakdowns of sugar in foods at this link. You'll have to click on the food type below the picture.

Big gulp 32 oz (28 oz coke 4 oz ice) = 91 grams sugar
Big gulp 44 oz (38 oz coke 6 oz ice) = 128 grams sugar



Yikes! Sugar death!

Guess eggs aren't so bad for you.

Bang on. Fats are an essential part of a healthy diet, just so long as they're the right type.

Some interesting stuff on this thread.

About one third of the month I eat well, swim and go to the gym.

Err it's the other two thirds are well mmm utter shite. Beer, bad diet and bad sleep patterns.

^^^^^^^

Hampsha,

I downlaoded the book on "why people are fat" or something like that by Taubes and will be reading it soon.

I'm reading it, not because of 40 lbs. over-weight, but because I'm interested in this topic.

Thanks for the thread and posts.

typical for parasite infection...

What the good third or the bad?

parasites live in cycles, worst probably breeding, have it tested

Test what?

Just done my blood pressure - 137/84

Here's a long clip (basically 6 hours) which has some really interesting stuff on healthy eating. So many interesting ideas in this.

Several blood and stool tests will let you know.

Ketogenic diet works very well - it's easy to implement, and easy to maintain.

I lost 45 lbs in 60-70 days 3 years ago using a ketogenic diet.

It's a very effective means to lose pure fat in a good amount time.

Man, he doesn't give up on his fluoride crapping parasites.

Any no-carb diet works well, eat all the meat and cheese and eggs you like. Added porridge and nuts, lentils etc are not carb free, but contribute essential vitamins and minerals.
