Controlling the Carb Monster

Coconut Oil-The Best Fat Burner

2012-04-19T15:12:00.000-07:00

As a Low carber,one key to successful steady weight loss is to ensure steady blood sugar so that any extreme ups and downs are avoided and don’t cause you to fall off the wagon and make a beeline for the junk food aisle at the grocery store. I have been doing very well with my low carb shopping, and I have been making sure that I keep a supply of coconut oil for my cooking and for my skin and hair. I keep one jar in the bathroom, and 1 jar in my refrigerator. One of the very best fats to assist in any weight loss goal is coconut oil, a healthy medium chain saturated fatty acid that boosts metabolism and is used by the body for immediate energy but doesn’t end up as stored body fat like longer chain fatty acids sometimes can. Countries that consume high amounts of coconut and coconut oil in their diets such as the Philippines, India, and the Pacific Islands have significantly fewer cases of heart disease and obesity clearly disproving any agenda driven smear campaign against this marvelously healthy oil! I recently discovered that I must avoid Olive Oil now that I am in the fat burning mode to lose the weight.This is surprising to many people as olive oil is typically the first “healthy oil” that they think of due to heavy promotion of this Mediterranean oil by conventional doctors and nutritionists. In fact, a 1994 study published in The Lancet noted that the fatty acid most predominantly found in body fat was monounsaturated fat like that found in high amounts in olive oil! Could this be why those in Mediterranean countries so often gain weight at middle age? Well, I am a middle aged American woman, who started using Olive Oil when I switched over to a low carb lifestyle, but for some reason I wanted to research more about the healthy oils, and read that Olive Oil was not the oil I should be consuming in my diet for fat loss. So I am avoiding the Olive Oil and sticking with Coconut Oil, which for years now I have enjoyed and time after time, it truly does keep my full, feeling energized and staying healthy. I have the inflammatory auto immune disease, but with Oil Pulling, and consuming Coconut Oil and sticking to a Ketogenic diet, which is a low carb diet, but higher in fats, I have noticed steady fat loss.

How to Use Coconut Oil for Speedy Weight Loss Coconut oil naturally solidifies at 76F so it is best to liquify it in hot water before consuming as a weight loss aid. Twenty minutes before mealtime is the best time to take your coconut oil as it will significantly reduce appetite and help you to feel full more quickly and be satisfied with smaller portions. To liquify, mix 1-2 TBL of coconut oil in a mug and add hot water or herbal tea or my favorite-Coffee! Stir to melt and drink. Use the following guidelines to determine how much oil to consume before each meal: Start out slow, usually 1 teaspoon, then 1 tablespoon and see how you feel. I cook with coconut Oil. I eat eggs most every morning, and instead of cooking them in butter, I use coconut oil, which gives the eggs a fantastic mild flavor and fills up your tummy fast. Alternatively, you can simply eat the coconut oil and let it liquify in your mouth for a few seconds before swallowing. What is the Best Coconut Oil to Use for Weight Loss? Be aware that not all coconut oils are created equal! While coconut oil is very resistant to heat damage, solvents are frequently used to extract it, so sourcing high quality oil from a reputable company is of paramount importance to avoid any chemical residues. Using only organic virgin coconut oil therapeutically for your weight loss efforts is a good idea as all the delicate micronutrients in the oil will be preserved and no chemicals will have been used in processing. You can go to your local health food store and choose from many different brands of coconut oil. Please read where the Coconut Oil comes from, and that it is 100% Virgin Un-refined Coconut Oil.

Dietary Ketosis with Coconut Oil- Ketogenic Diet

2012-03-28T21:00:00.002-07:00

Once you are in ketosis, it only takes one cheat day to stop the fat burning, ketotic process, and you'll have to start over. So don't start a ketogenic diet plan just before some major food holiday, like Thanksgiving or Christmas, unless you are sure you can weather the pressure to eat sweets and starches...Spring is a good time for me to start this diet, and so far...the fats are fueling my energy...I am controlling that Carb Monster!! Here is a great Paleo Cook Book that has a lot of great recipes Click Here!

How I do Coconut Oil Pulling & Chocolate Delight Recipe

2012-03-20T09:44:00.003-07:00

Coconut Oil Chocolate Delight

Oil pulling is simple. You put a spoonful of ORGANIC Virgin Coconut oil into your mouth and swish it around for a period of 15 to 20 minutes. Coconut oil is the best oil to use, because the taste is mild and does not make you "gag". The oil is “worked” in the mouth by pushing, pulling, and sucking it through the teeth. As you work the oil, it sucks up bacteria, toxins, pus, and mucous. Don’t swallow it! Spit it out then rinse your mouth with water.

Oil pulling is best done first thing in the morning on an empty stomach before eating breakfast. After eating, bush and floss your teeth as you normally do. Oil pulling can be done one to three times a day, make sure you have an empty stomach, usually 6hrs.

We have billions of bacteria living in our mouths. Many of which produce toxins as by-products that damage the teeth and irritate the gums, causing inflammation and bleeding. An overgrowth of bacteria leads to tooth decay and gum disease, and eventually tooth loss. Discolored teeth, plaque (bacteria colonies), tarter (calcified plaque), cavities, bleeding gums, sensitive teeth, and chronic bad breath are all signs of an overgrowth.

UPDATE- MARCH 9, 2012, MY VIDEO ABOUT MY HAIR GROWTH WITH COCONUT OIL AND CAYENNE PEPPER

I carry the Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA-B27genetic marker), Nov. 2008, I was diagnosed with Reactive Arthritis/Psoriatic Arthritis/Psoriatic Spondylitis which is an inflammatory autoimmune disease-basically,my immune systems turns against me and attacks my healthy joints causing severe joint /back pain and could not walk for 6 month, I gained a lot of weight until my life style changed and my joint pain from auto immune disease became manageable.you can read more about me here, on my youtube front page-http://www.youtube.com/user/Bonnie90505

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello 2012-this is a re-post of my coconut oil healthy benefits page, but I want to still give this testomony on how healthy coconut oil if for me, and how remarkable it is to discover this oil and how I depend on it to help me stay healthy especially now that I am back on Enbrel(which shuts down my immune system) for my severe joint pain due to psoriatic arthritis/reactive arthritis.

I am protecting my immune system and the weight loss needs a huge jump start as I am about 30lb heavier since going back on Enbrel, but now I can walk again, now I can start back my exercise, and now I can continue practicing balance in my life, so many changes, and I need to be strong in my physical health and my mental health. Coconut oil is a wonder oil-please take a look at the videos below and learn the wonders of this oil, and try some for yourself, I prefer Tropical Traditions brand, but you can find several good quality coconut oil and use it inside and out.Make sure the coconut oil you purchase is un-refine, cold press, 100%virgin coconut oil. I love cooking with the oil, oil pulling, skin and scalp conditioning, lip moisturizer, fat burner, and protection of immune system, so many many more nature healthy benefits.

________________________________________________________
OK, so I decided to keep some data about my personal findings about coconut oil and keep this as a journal to document my health. I have listed a variety of Coconut Benefits and I will add to each one if I have any experience from that

After I made the following video, it had only been 4 months since I was taking the coconut oil, now it is almost time to do a 1 year review. By the end of November 2010, I will do a one year review on the coconut oil, and this will be about the time the cold and flu season hits Southern California.

Coconut Oil Benefits In Medicine

Traditional medicine among the Asian and Pacific population have used the healing properties of coconut oil extensively and to great effect. Pacific Islanders consider coconut oil to be the cure for all illness.

Scientists have recently discovered the healing properties of coconut oil and how it can be used in modern medicine to treat a variety of conditions. Because it is a natural product it doesn’t contain the man made additives that are often found in similar products.

Here’s are some of the reasons why coconut oil is so highly regarded by me:

I have not had the flu in over 2 years, I did get the regular flu shot in 2008, but in 2009 the Swine Flu shot I did not take.

*Coconut oil is anti-fungal, anti-viral, and anti-bacterial. It kills viruses that have a lipid (fatty) coating, such as herpes, HIV, hepatitis C, the flu, and mononucleosis. Coconut oil isn’t a cure in itself, but it does contain these properties that fight against such ailments.

I have not had a sore throat in a very long time, I still have my tonsils.
I have not had yeast infections since I have been on low carb and taking coconut oil, I usually get a yeast infection if I take certain antibiotics.

*It also kills the bacteria that cause pneumonia, sore throats,dental cavities, urinary tract infections, meningitis, gonorrhea, food poisoning, pneumonia, and many more bacterial infections. It kills the fungus/yeast infections that cause candida, ringworm, athletes foot, thrush, jock itch, diaper rash and more.

I have a lot of energy now, I do not get tired mid day, and I can walk everyday after work for 1 hour, usually 2 miles.
I feel like it does help with weight loss, when I take the oil in the mornings, I feel a warmth, almost like a heat in my stomach, only for a short time, I am not hungry or tired

*Coconut oil is able to boost energy levels and endurance. It is not stored like other fats and actually breaks down much quicker within the liver and used like a carbohydrate. Athletes and bodybuilders use it as a natural supplement in sports drinks. It also increases your metabolism which is great for anyone wanting to lose weight*. In fact there is a whole industry devoted to losing weight through coconut products and recipes.

I use to always have to run to the bathroom, if I got nervous, stressed or even excited, now I have no problems with my bowel habits becoming out of control

* Digestion – Coconut oil helps in improving the digestive system and absorption of fat soluble vitamins, minerals and amino acids thus prevents various stomach and digestion related problems including irritable bowel syndrome. The saturated fats present in coconut oil have anti microbial properties and help in dealing with various bacteria, fungi, parasites, etc., that cause indigestion. Diabetics use it to reduce their symptoms a d the risk of diabetes is reduced with regular use of coconut oil in your cooking.

* Coconut oil contains high levels of anti-oxidants which help to protect the body from free radicals and prevent degenerative diseases and premature aging.

* Coconut oil is actually good for your heart despite the bad press it has received over the years. It contains about 50% lauric acid, which helps to prevent various heart related problems such as high ‘bad’ LDL cholesterol levels and high blood pressure.

Other Coconut Oil Benefits

I have dry scalp from medications I take and also my hair is growing faster than before, it is the longest I have had since I was a teenager

*Hair Care: Coconut oil is one of the best natural nutrition for hair. It promotes healthy hair providing it with a shinny complexion. Regular massage of the head with coconut oil ensures that your scalp is free of dandruff, lice, and lice eggs, even if your scalp is dry.* It acts as an excellent shampoo or conditioner and helps in the re-growth of damaged hair. It also provides the essential proteins required for nourishing damaged hair. It is therefore used as hair care oil and used in manufacturing various conditioners, and dandruff relief creams.

I have not tried this yet, but for sure I will, and let you know

* Stress Relief: Coconut oil is very soothing and hence it helps in removing stress. Applying coconut oil to the head followed with a gentle massage helps in removing mental fatigue.

I slather the oil all over my skin, and I feel refreshed

* Skin Care: Coconut oil is excellent massage oil for the skin as well. It acts as an effective moisturizer on all types of skins including dry skin. The benefit of coconut oil on the skin is comparable to that of mineral oil. But unlike mineral oil, there is no chance of having any adverse side effects on the skin. Coconut oil also helps in treating various skin problems including psoriasis, dermatitis, eczema and other skin infections. Therefore coconut oil forms the basic ingredient of various body care products such as soaps, lotions, creams, etc., used for skin care.

* Anti-Itch Cream: Coconut oil is anti-inflammatory, so it’s possible it would bring some relief from bug bites, as it promotes healing.

* Healing Balm: Since it’s anti-inflammatory, coconut oil might be useful as a salve to speed healing of bruises, strains, and sore muscles.

I have to try this, because recently I have been bitten by bugs since the weather is changing and my bites are healing faster than before.

* Mosquito repellent: Coconut oil is used in many mosquito repellents as a natural product, rather than using Deet. Just by eating it or using it as a shampoo or face cream etc., could ward of those pesky bugs!

Because of my auto immune disease, my joints are affected when I get sick, my immune system goes into attacked to fight and gets my healthy joints, as longs as I can stay healthy and not get sick with flu, colds, food poisoning, bug bites, even scratches, the coconut oil protects me.

Coconut oil is truly the healthiest oil you can consume. It is rich in lauric acid, which is known for being antiviral, antibacterial and anti fungal, and contains no trans fat (even olive oil has some trans fat). You can even use it on your skin to help prevent wrinkles.

Carb Monster-The Science of Low Carb

2012-03-19T16:53:00.003-07:00

I find a lot of videos and research material that make me even more motivated that I am controlling my own insulin and keeping it normal, the health benefits I have been having by choosing to eat a lower carbohydrate diet and exercise, I can continue losing weight, lower my blood pressure, avoid having high cholesterol, and not becoming diabetic. My Controlling the Carb Monster is more than losing weight..its about staying healthy and being able to stay active even tho I do have an inflammatory auto immune disease, I have been in remission and now can enjoy my foods, have the energy I need to take that 2 mile daily walk, and keep track of the foods I eat, and eating clean, whole food, off the process foods which my blood sugar has been normal and my blood pressure is looking good!

LOW CARB-Dietary Ketosis NOT Ketoacidosis

After a flare up with my psoriatic arthritis and 5 weeks of Enbrel treatment,weight gain was once again happening to me, BUT!! Now,I am finally able to experience new and exciting ways to jump start my fat loss, I will have another video soon explaining more about my new ways to enhance my low carb life style, and why practicing intermittent Low Carb fasting, Oil Pulling and walking daily seems to have jump started me in the right direction and help keep my arthritis under control.

What are ketones?

Ketones are a normal and efficient source of fuel and energy for the human body. They are produced by the liver from fatty acids, which result from the breakdown of body fat in response to the absence of glucose/sugar. In a ketogenic diet, such as Atkins ... or diets used for treating epilepsy in children, the tiny amounts of glucose required for some select functions can be met by consuming a minimum amount of carbs - or can be manufactured in the liver from PROTEIN. When your body is producing ketones, and using them for fuel, this is called "ketosis".

* please research and seek the advice from your physician about Ketoacidosis which is a life-threatening condition, my video is about "dietary ketosis" and I am under a doctor's care and have regular blood tests which are all in the normal range.

Coconut Oil, Cayenne Pepper Tea, My Hair Growth

I am so happy about my hair growth, going back on low carb and my love for coconut oil, cayenne pepper, apple cider vinegar and learning that I can take control of my life.
Cayenne pepper is an excellent source of vitamin A. It is also a good source of vitamin B6, vitamin C, vitamin K, manganese and dietary fiber.
This helps my arthritis, opens my sinus, and stop cravings, and also helps lower blood pressure-but please see your doctor if you have concerns or questions before taking any herbal home remedies.
Cayenne pepper tea:
Hot Water
Cayenne Pepper (one heaping tsp to one level tbsp)
Truvia, and or Stevia
I will have updates on my blood pressure to see if it does lower the numbers and also I can tell my arthritis pain in my finger joint, I use as a paste over the joints.

Economic Change in Life-What to do?

2011-11-20T13:48:00.000-08:00

I have until March 2, 2012, but maybe sooner, before my position( over 7 yrs)will be eliminated. The Company's corporate decisions have been made to totally move the product line out of California and re-locate 100% to another state to merge with the other product lines, due to the economic collapse. Last year, all of manufacturing was moved out of California, for some, it was job loss, for others, it was job-relocation out of the state of California.
Over the past 3-4 years, the American jobs are no longer thriving, and it gets harder and harder for people to stay employed. I fall into that trap of over 50 baby-boomers.
This will be a good test for me, a test of strength, a test not to turn to food in a time when my financial life will be changing, but sometimes, we have to prepare, and I am lucky to have time to prepare for these changes.
Food will be my friend, my strength, my happiness, and staying mentally healthy, making healthy choices, will make me strong through these trying times in the economic collapse.

Making the Most of the Next 4 Months

2011-09-04T22:58:00.000-07:00

So, as my summer comes to an end, well, you wouldn't know that summer is almost over, because the weather is Southern California is so nice right now..but Sept brings me to a step forward in staying focused on my goals, I always seem to be better once summer is over and the last 4 months of the year keeps me focused on getting this weight off. I had such a set back in my health these past 3 months. I look back and think when did all my joints start to flare up again, and all I can say it seems to be related to my ear infection I came down with the end of June. I had all intentions to focus hard on my weight loss journey. I know what foods to eat and what foods not to eat, I know staying active is the key to keep me mentally focused too. I try not to think of the past, but look towards the future. I feel like I lost several months with the set back of my joints flaring up, and then going back on Enbrel, taking antibiotics and not really being well enough to go outside and take my evening 2 mile walk. I sat indoors most of the summer. I still have 4 months to really settle this deal, a deal with my health. I am getting ready to make a major change, a change that I did almost exactly 1 year ago. I am ready to get off my pain medications and allow my body to detox and knowing what I will go through will be a challenge to my mental dependency. I will begin slowly, cutting down on my pain medications, but if my pain becomes to unbearable, I will of course take what I need to manage. I will walk, walking is what makes me happy, and eating right, getting my body healed. It's all about adjustments in life. I go through detoxification, but it will be slowly. I will release water weight, and I look forward to seeing the scale move down, and my inches melt away. I have so much to look forward to, I am in control, I must be strong mentally.
