Drinking water before meals is the best way to lose weight
Washington, Aug 24 : Have you tried out every trick in the book to lose weight – crash diets, gyms, or simply starving yourself? Now, try a simple trick – drink a glass or two of water before meals, as that’s the best way to curb appetite and shed those pounds – says a new research.
“In this recent study, we found that over the course of 12 weeks, dieters who drank water before meals, three times per day, lost about 5 pounds more than dieters who did not increase their water intake,” said Brenda Davy of Virginia Tech in Blacksburg.

Atkins Diet Misconceptions: Low Carb Diets and Gout

admin — Sun, 09 Jan 2011 17:06:02 +0000

In a response to a TV episode on the show Royal Pains, I analyze the claims that a high fat diet will necessarily lead to the pain associated with gout and gout attacks. The conventional wisdom seems often analogous to popular, but wrong cholesterol theorem that dietary cholesterol leads to increased cholesterol in the blood. Is the popular theory right? What is Gout? Gout is a form of arthritis that occurs when abnormally high levels of uric acid build up in the body, causing crystals to form in joints. The crystals cause sudden, severe attacks of joint pain and swelling. Uric acid is a substance that is normally released by the kidneys when the body breaks down waste products called purines. When the kidneys are no longer able to flush uric acid out of the body properly, it crystallizes and accumulates around the joints. Misconception that Atkins is only acidic foods: Alkaline Foods Extremely Alkaline Forming Foods – pH 8.5 to 9.0: Cantaloupe, Cayenne (Capsicum), Kelp, Melons, Watercress, Seaweed Moderate Alkaline Forming Foods – pH 7.5 to 8.0 Alfalfa sprouts, Avocados, Berries, Carrots, Celery, Lettuce (leafy green), Peas (fresh sweet), Pumpkin (sweet), Spinach, Bell Pepper, Broccoli, Cabbage, Kale, Kohlrabi, Lettuce (pale green), Strawberry, Squash , Sweet corn (fresh), Sour Dairy Slightly Alkaline to Neutral Forming Foods – pH 7.0 Almonds , Artichokes (Jerusalem), Brussel Sprouts, Coconut (fresh), Cucumbers, Egg plant, Onions, Tomatoes (sweet), Mayonnaise (home made …

Myths About Low Carb Diets

admin — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 01:23:26 +0000

There are a lot of myths and misconceptions about low-carb diets. Anti-low carb information often draws an image of people eating very unhealthy diets, with no vegetables or fruits, guzzling cream and eating bacon dipped in butter all day. We are supposedly courting heart disease, and are on a dangerous road to poor health. The truth is that low-carb diets focus on nutritious, healthy food, and research into reducing carbs continues to show more and more positive results. Here are the myths about low-carb diets I hear most often. 1. Low Carb = No Carb This misconception is the idea that a low-carb diet must be really really low in carbohydrates. You will read that low carb diets attempt to eliminate carbohydrates, for example. Fact: Not one low-carb diet author advocates this. Even Atkins Induction, which is very low in carbohydrates, is not no carb, is only meant to last two weeks, and actually can be skipped altogether, according to the Atkins Web site. Fact: Diet authors who recommend reducing carbs have all sorts of different ideas about carb levels. Fact: The carbohydrate level should be adjusted to the individual. Fact: Over the years, the nutritional establishment has been gradually lowering the range of recommended carbohydrate in the diet, at the same time condemning reduced-carb diets, some of which may be recommending the lower end of the new accepted range, or close to it. Example: Dr. Dean Edell, a prominent media physician, once stated that the Zone Diet, a …
