Why do our bodies wear out as we grow old? Meet Charles Mobbs, a scientist at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York. By trying to answer this mysterious question, he and his team have found what could be a way to do something long thought impossible: reverse kidney damage caused by diabetes.

Secret, will eating up to 100 gr. of carb also result in the lack of hunger that so many experience on this type of diet?

This is one of the benefits, for me and many others: most of these diets have an initial induction phase, where carbs are restricted much more than that. And many notice that after a couple of days, there is no hunger. In the initial weight-loss stages, I’ve always kept the carbs to 50 or below, and believed that this restriction is what ‘killed’ hunger. (I’ve generally done the South Beach or Atkins.)

Hear the new song by Charles Mobbs & the Ketosis? Everybody’s singing it!

Oh, I love Bosco!
That’s the drink for me!
Chocolate flavored Bosco
Is mighty good for me.
Mommy puts it in my milk
For extra energy.
Bosco gives me iron
And sunshine vitamin D.
Oh, I love Bosco!
That’s the drink for me!

Thecool thing about high protein/fat diets is that they are more satisfying and longer lasting than high carb diets. You reallygotta see the Fat Head doc b/c not only does thisguy explain it but doctors do too. You will also feel better and have more energy. Low protein and low fat diets drive people into literal moods of depression. One doc even admitted this happened to him personally.

The proteins and fats satiate the huger. They stick around longer so the fullness sticks around longer too.

Well, I think everyone is different. When I was younger and wanted to lose some weight, I did the low-fat (it was THE diet being touted back then.) I felt fine on that diet, and with exercise I lost weight easily, too; but I did get hungry now and then; and I now believe it’s just not as healthy.

On the low-carb diets, I am never hungry; there’s always something you can snack on that won’t mess up the diet; and there does seem to be an appetite-suppressant effect to it. It’s just a lot easier all-round.

“I offer an alternative diet regimen: STOP SHOVING SO MUCH FOOD DOWN YOUR PIE WHOLE!”

....................

You might actually study the hard science behind Syndrome X/insulin resistance and the positive effect that ketogenic diets have on treating this disorder.

For example, rats genetically engineered to be insulin resistant actually gained body fat while eating 1/4th of their daily nutritional requirement. They starved to death while gaining body fat. All their tissues OTHER than fat wasted away. Learn how this same thing happens with people who become insulin resistant.

So, yes . . . balancing energy input with energy output works in maintaining body weight . . . except that in an insulin resistant person the balancing isn’t done by using fat as an in/out usable storehouse of energy. The fat can easily be stored, but cannot be released and burned for energy between meals. So the body will cannibalize muscle, brain, liver and other organs unless the person keeps eating, even if they just at a huge meal and significant portions of that meal were stored as body fat.

Read Gary Taubes’ Good Calories, Bad Calories or Phinney and Volek’s The Art and Science of Low Carbohydrate Living.

It turns out that Dr. Atkins was right all along. And now science is beginning to recognize it through actual studies. The problem is sugar in all its forms (including starch) and not consumed fats.

The hunger is temporary.

It is caused by the fact that the body does not just glide into ketosis. It takes a bit of shock, and that is why the carbs have to be completely cut to zero for the beginning phase.

I think the diet changes your tastes, too. Most recently, after being on it for a couple of weeks, I found those Atkins snack bars. The sweetness of them was just too much. After awhile, your taste buds have gotten a rest from that ‘sugar-assault’, and you just don’t want to eat so much of it anymore, even when it’s ‘fake’ sugar.

“Just another fad diet for he feeble minded.”

Cancer thrives on sugar, sucrose, fructose. Carbs turn into sugar. Unfortunately, my vodka does too,

Just another fad diet for he feeble minded.

When ever I get near a person that is five or six inches shorter than I am, I lean over and tell him if he weren't so weak minded he could be tall like me. Hardly ever makes them mad because they know they are stupid like you.

“The documentary Fat Head...”

I watched that one Netflix. I was forced to watch “Supersize Me” in high school, and I knew it was nonsense. I enjoyed “Fat Head” a lot.
