This video is the second half of the Atkins Diet Misconception: Diabetes series. If you have not seen Part 1, please watch it here:

The last video dealt with case damning the existing treatment or recommendations to follow a high carb diet managed with ever increasing doses of insulin. This video deals with the evidence for rather managing it with a low carb lifestyle. There are two great studies for advocating this method.

1:) Dietary carbohydrate restriction in type 2 diabetes mellitus and metabolic syndrome: time for a critical appraisal
Nutrition and Metabolism(Lond) 2008; 5: 9.
Numerous authors including Richard Bertstein, Mary Vernon, Jeff Volek, Eric Westman

http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?artid=2359752&tool=pmcentrez

Conducted Multi-center trial in which 63 obese men and women were randomly assigned to either diet, 21 Low Carb, 21 Control, 21 High Carb for a one year study.
This discussion focuses on type 2 diabetes but many of the principles will apply to metabolic syndrome and possibly to type 1 as well[6,7].
1. Carbohydrate restriction improves glycemic control, the primary target of nutritional therapy and reduces insulin fluctuations.
2. Carbohydrate-restricted diets are at least as effective for weight loss as low-fat diets.
3. Substitution of fat for carbohydrate is generally beneficial for markers for and incidence of CVD.
4. Carbohydrate restriction improves the features of metabolic syndrome.
An important idea guiding current medical thinking is that clustering of seemingly disparate physiologic states, obesity, atherogenic dyslipidemia, hyperglycemia and hypertension, termed metabolic syndrome (MetS) suggests a common underlying cause. A recent review showed that carbohydrate restriction improves all of these markers[24].

5. Beneficial effects of carbohydrate restriction do not require weight loss. It’s not simply a weight loss argument or due to people losing weight do they achieve the benefits.

2.) Low-carbohydrate diet in type 2 diabetes: stable improvement of bodyweight and glycemic control during 44 months follow-up

Conclusion:
There is now little evidence for the claim that a fat-reduced diet for weight reduction has any particular value beyond caloric counting [10]. Current dietary recommendations seem to be a major part of their problem rather than being part of the solution. Carbohydrate restriction, however, reverses or neutralises all aspects of the metabolic syndrome [20,21].

Atkins Diet Quick Hits – Alcohol

One of the questions I get quite often is can I drink during Induction or at all on Atkins. This question is probably least hard for me to answer as I have given much of alcohol except for maybe a couple times a year. With that, during Induction you definitely should not drink alcohol. It is only 14 days long, and certainly you can last 14 days without drinking. Why? The same reason we restrict everything else in Induction — get you back to a simple diet or platform to readd foods, drop in ketosis, and start a new way to eat.

Some people can drink and lose weight still, but for others, it is a source of much trouble. Two reasons this can happen:
* all alcohol must be consumed for fuel first before burning anything else which can last up to a hour and half per drink. So no fat burning while you are drinking alcohol.
* Alcohol can lead increased hunger and decreased resistance to cravings.

Wait ’til OWL phase, and figure out if you can add it back without gaining weight. If you can lose and drink, make sure your selection are low carb options. Figure out up front what and how many so you’ll know how long you will be off fat burning.

In this Atkins Diet Quick Hits video deal the question “how fast did I lose the weight?” and “if you lost it slower, do you think loose skin would be less prevalent?”

I responded that I averaged about 4.3 pounds per week during much of the weight loss phase, and over 3 pounds throughout the 15 months of the diet. I advised against intentionally slowing down the diet by overeating or eating when you aren’t hungry. I do HOWEVER recommend eating above one’s Basal Metabolic Rate to avoid starvation mode and crash dieting, such as water restriction. I have read a story where the winner of the first Biggest Loser gained 35 pounds of water within 3 days after their weigh-in due to lost water weight. Eat according to the plan and ~3-5x per day, and you should be fine.

The whole point is to lose fat cells not muscle mass as much as possible. If you are worried about lost muscle mass, keep exercising and gauge your long term performance as a key indicator.

I produced another Atkins Diet Quick Hits videos. In this one, I deal with question of how long to stay on Induction and what the warning signs to progress to the Ongoing Weight Loss Phase. I normally get this question from those with lots to lose or those people who become carb phobic. My response normally goes – you can stay on Induction for a really long time, but you should progress to OWL when you hit one of the warning conditions.

Here are the warning signs:
1. poor exercise performance, prolonged fatigue, or tiredness
2. Blood work comes back out of whack – One of mine came back borderline for globulin, the doc recommended I start eating nuts. I had it rechecked shortly thereafter, and it was fine.
3. Boredom with the food choices.

My second cooking show on how to make low carb comfort foods. Fauxtatoes are a great dish to have at Thanksgiving or for those who typically have to fight to get their veggies. A couple of my kids and my wife even make cameo appearances in this video. It’s the least I can do for all the taste testing I make them endure as I try new recipes. My non-low-carbing family members even like this recipe as an alternative to starchy mashed potatoes.

Try this recipe; I think it’ll be a hit with you as well!

Recipe:
1 Head Cauliflower
2.5 TBS Butter
1/3 cup Heavy Cream
1 Chicken Bouillon cube
1 tsp salt
White pepper to taste

Directions:
* Cook Cauliflower until fork tender. Drain well.

* Place cooked cauliflower and other ingredients (crush bouillon cube first) into the food processor. Run on high until consistency of mashed potatoes. You may need to scrape the sides of the bowl a couple times to prevent lumps.

Makes 6 Servings:
Total Fat 1.04g2%
Saturated Fat 0.63g3%
Monounsaturated Fat 0.26g
Polyunsaturated Fat 0.22g

In this video, I deal with the importance of water in a low carb or specifically Atkins Diet. Like any diet, water is important to make you fill full, keep you hydrated for exercise, and to quench your thirst. Its importance can not be stressed enough in a low carb diet though as its additional benefits, such as:
* its role in metabolizing fat
* its role in reducing Induction Flu symptoms
* its role in flushing the toxins and by-products (like ketones) from the system through your kidneys

I deal with the quesiton of how much is required per day and even make some suggestions on how to make it more palatable for those hydro-phobic people like I was. My suggestion is to look at water intake like a necessity similar to exercise. For somethings you just need to get it over with and get on with life. Eventually, it won’t seem as bad as it might when you are first starting, and given the prospect of lower than optimal weight loss, why wouldn’t you drink it?

Thanks again for all the views and comments.

http://cybermedicinestore.com/what-are-some-natural-high-blood-pressure-remedies/ First and foremost you need to stop smoking if you havent already. Not only will this help keep your blood pressure in line, youll also diminish your chance of cancer and cardiovascular diseases. Smoking is the primary risk factor for atherosclerosis. Smoking hurts blood vessel walls and accelerates the action of hardening of the arterial blood vessels. So even though it does not stimulate high blood pressure, smoking is bad for anyone, particularly those with high blood pressure. If you smoke, discontinue. If you dont smoke, dont start. Once you quit, your chance of having a heart attack is reduced after the first year. What are some additional natural high blood pressure remedies?

Trim Your Weight

Heavy patients should lose weight.Theres a direct link between being overweight and having high blood pressure. The more overweight you are, the greater the risk. Start out by making moderate changes. Cut two hundred to three hundred calories from your dieting each day — about the equivalent of stating no to two deep chocolate cookies.

Decrease Salt Consumption

High salt ingestion is connected to high blood pressure. You should consume no more than 2,000 milligrams of sodium per day (about one teaspoon of salt). The common American devours twice that, often through canned soups, frozen dinners, soy sauce, pickles, olives and processed cheeses, which are high with sodium. Read food tags and pick out reduced-sodium products. Seek to select food with low salt.

More Fruits and Vegetables

Add more fruits, vegetables and low-fat dairy products to your plate. Eat one additional fruit or vegetable with every meal. Reduce the size of your daily meat intake to six ounces, and designate at the least two dinners a week as meat-free. Fatty diets do not directly affect blood pressure. However, saturated fats and cholesterol in foods raise blood cholesterol, which increases the risk for heart disease. Foods high in fats also are high in calories, which must be decreased if you want to lose weight. As with the example of smoking, high cholestrol is likewise a major risk factor for atherosclerosis.

Limit Alcohol Consumption

Drink no more than one 12-ounce beer, one 5-ounce glass of wine or one swallow (1.5 ounces) of 80-proof whiskey if youre a woman. Men can double these measures. Anything more elevates blood pressure. You can reduce your blood pressure by 5-10 mmHg by just limiting alcohol intake.

Exercise, Exercise, Exercise

First and foremost, get the ok from your physician. Afterwards, slowly familiarize aerobic exercise into your life, increasing the time and intensity at a pace that feels right, aiming for at least a thirty-minute workout most days of the week. Youthful people should jog for thirty minutes three times per week and older patients should walk farther lengths than usual.

Diminish Stress and Anxiety

Stress and anxiety also play a role in high blood pressure. If you need your blood pressure with in normal limits, try to get happy all times. Its not that difficult is it? Try extra curricular activities to make your mind stress free. Stress can make blood pressure go up for a while, and it has been considered to contribute to high blood pressure. However, the long-term outcomes of stress are as yet unclear. Stress management techniques do not appear to forestall high blood pressure. However, such techniques may have other benefits, such as making you feel more acceptable or helping you to moderate over-eating.

Caffeine and Blood Pressure

Caffeine in coffee as well as in other drinks, such as tea and sodas, only enhances blood pressure temporarily. You should be able to go on to have drinks that contain caffeine, unless you are restricted to it or have heart disease and your doctor orders you not to have any.

Eat adequate amounts of potassium-rich foods

Potassium which is another mineral important to good health, works together with sodium to regulate blood pressure. Studies have shown that people who consume more potassium have lower blood pressures than those who ingest less. Robust sources of potassium include many fruits, such as cantaloupe, bananas, watermelon, oranges and orange juice, as well as potatoes, spinach, and zucchini.

Listed above is just the tip of the iceberg for finding high blood pressure remedies. Let these suggestions get you on the right path to either lower or eliminate high blood pressure altogether.
