High Fat Diet Induced Adipocyte Cell Death Occurs Diabetes Diabetes Diabetesjournals Form

The article you cite has a big flaw which is the lack of distinction between different kinds of fats. The statement ''a high fat diet causes...'' is a useless one, since the most important aspect of fats; the kind, is omitted, as you did notice yourself.Quite astonishing by the way (to say the least) that an institution like the Human Food Project is so sloppy in it's communication.Considering omega-6; there are different kinds, some are pro-inflammatory, others inhibit inflammation. It's a rather complex subject, most important though, is to pay attention, not so much to the amount of omega's, but to the omega-3/omega-6 ratio, which should be at least 5:1 for optimum benefit of both fatty acids. If you would like to know more about the biochemistry of this see Essential fatty acid interactions.Avoiding omega-6 is not a good idea by the way; you need it for several essential processes in the body and it would disturb the ratio. In studying this subject I recommend to ignore articles which speak about 'omega-6' or 'fats'; they are oversimplifying a very complex and fascinating field of research.

The Ketogenic diet is not for everyone. It is a great diet for anyone with diabetes or metabolic syndrome. One of he fallacies regarding the diet is that it is low carb, high protein. Not true. It is low to moderate protein. We humans are metabolically flexible. That means we can use either glucose or ketones for fuel. Most of us use glucose. If you remove the glucose (carbs) from your diet, your liver begins to churn out ketones for fuel. Then guess what? Your brain LOVES ketones. After a few days, you discover great, longer lasting energy, enhanced mental clarity, and a feeling of well being.  Your HDL will rise signNowly (yay) and your triglycerides will plummet. (Double yay!) you will steadily lose weight, but retain muscle (the ketogenic diet is muscle sparing) and best of all your A1C will prove you no longer require etc. (triple yay!) But don't believe me, go get your labs done, then, under doctor's supervision, do keto, and discover a grand not so secret way of getting healthy! In order to begin using ketones for energy instead of glucose, you must reduce carbs to around 25-20 per day. Once you have adapted, you can tweek the carbs to suit your lifestyle.  The book you need to order is by Drs. Stephen Phinney and Jeff Volek called "The Art and Science of ketogenic Living." There are also many YouTube videos  that describe the many benefits. Dr. Jason Fung's videos explain how diabetes is successfully treated with diet.  A good badic explanation is this one by Dr. Eric Crall: The main thing that is important to note is that for 40 years we have said "heart clogging saturated fat" like it was all one word. Turns out fats are great (like coconut, avocados, and clarified butter) and sugar has been the culprit all along. It is evident that substituting carbs for fats  has failed miserably and contributed to the horrible obesity epidemic, diabetes,  and continued heart issues among Americans. If you have no weight, cholesterol, high BP, or resistance, I suggest cutting out processed foods, soft drinks, transfats, and eat lots of organic veggies, free range chickens, grass fed beef, and drink water. 

Thank you for the A2A!Maybe this sounds cliche, but I learned how to treat myself the way I would treat anyone else. There’s no question that most of us are a lot harder on ourselves than we are on other people. We have higher expectations of ourselves, and when we make a mistake, many of us become self-destructive. While when it comes to other people, we’re usually more tolerant and forgiving.Learn how to forgive yourself.My weight loss journey isn’t over. I’m about 2/3 the way there in terms of how much I want to lose, and then comes maintenance. I struggle with motivation all of the time. I get mad and I get frustrated when I’m not losing a certain amount of weight every week. I get mad when the number on the scale goes up. I get mad when I know I’m working so hard but nothing’s changing. At least, not that I can see.To be quite honest, I have developed a pretty good relationship with the scale. I weigh myself in the morning and in the evening. I do this to get my mind used to the fact that weight will fluctuate. It will go up and down. It will change all the time. Some people can wait a week to weigh themselves. Some can wait a month. I can’t. So. I weigh myself multiple times a day. It’s helped decrease my frustration when I see the number go up. Since I see it so often, I know it will go back down and further down. I still get frustrated, but I’m only human.As far as seeing changes, I never took any measurements at the start, and I’m kicking myself for that. You don’t see changes in the mirror because you see yourself every day. You look at yourself every single day. You’re criticizing what you look like, every single day. Something I did at the start though, was take ‘before’ pictures. I didn’t take very many, but I took some. I hated having them in my phone. I hated looking at them, but that can be seen as another form of motivation. Work to make it a before picture. Not a current one. When you take an updated picture a month or two later, you will see the change. You will see the difference, and it will feel amazing. I’m highly critical of myself, and sometimes I’m like, I look the same!! But, I’m only human.Eating habits, I think, are the hardest for people when it comes to staying on track, and I’m no different. I have my bad days. I have off days where my eating is totally out of wack. I don’t have too many though because when I am craving something, I let myself have it. If I’m craving something, I just eat it and get it over with. I think that’s where a lot of people fail. They try to restrict themselves way too much and the changes they’ve made to their lifestyle start to feel like a punishment. Getting healthy or making healthier choices should not be seen as a punishment. You are not punishing yourself. If you want something, let yourself have it. Just have less. Enough to satisfy the craving so you can move on. This way, you’re less likely to lose all the control you’ve managed to gain. You’re less likely to binge.When you have bad days or when you eat something you probably shouldn’t have, forgive yourself and let it go. You’re only human.You probably noticed by now that I keep repeating that. You’re only human. That’s the reality of it and that is something you have to both know and understand. Knowing is one thing, and it does not equate understanding.You’re only human. You’re allowed to make mistakes. Learn how to forgive yourself and let it go. Do not hold yourself to ridiculous standards that you would never hold anyone else to. Be realistic with yourself and generous with your goals. Know that you can always do better. Know that you always have room for improvement. Ultimately, be patient.To clarify about the being realistic part. You ever catch yourself being frustrated with your progress because you’re like, ‘but I’m trying as hard as I can’ when the reality of it is, you aren’t? When the reality of it is, you’re kind of slacking, you may cheat here and there, or take more breaks than you should during a work out? That’s what I mean. Sometimes we’re convinced we’re trying our absolute hardest when in reality… we could try harder. And you know what? It’s okay. That’s the best effort you made during that day. Do better tomorrow. Do better every day. The only person you should be competing with is who you were yesterday.Some other helpful things are if you have Instagram, follow accounts that inspire you. You can follow me if you want, I try to post daily. I try to be motivating, I post about things I struggle with, etc. I’m very realistic and up front with what I’m going through and you can find me here: Reilyn J. Hardy (@reilynjhardy) • Instagram photos and videosIf you eat a lot of ice cream and can’t cut it out of your diet, substitute it for healthier options. I recommend Halo Top. I’m not a big sweets person (and Halo Top’s official account came at me for it on IG hahaha) but I love Halo Top and they have so many good flavors. It’s better for you and it has protein!Lastly, know that the time will pass anyway. You may look at it and think, ‘ugh this is going to take forever.’ The time will pass anyway. So you can either do something about it now, or be in the same position you are now - or possibly worse. Having a bad day? It’ll pass. 100% of your bad days only last 24 hours. You can try again tomorrow. The time will pass whether you make healthier choices or not. Don’t look at how long it’ll take to get there. Focus on where you are now. Next thing you know, three months have passed and you’ve dropped a few pants sizes.This was me in 3 months (picture from my IG) I can’t believe I’m posting this on here but if it helps, it helps, and I want to help you.This is my face, a year between photos (picture from my IG)Phantom Fat Syndrome is real. When I look in the mirror, I still see the girl on the left staring back at me. I still see the body on the left. I was told it could take as long as two years for my mind to catch up with what I look like. Take progress photos. I cannot stress this enough.Not seeing the change in the mirror is probably the leading reason people give up. Take. Progress. Photos. I’m not going to tell you again, lol.Ultimately, your body is your best friend, and it’s doing the best it can with what you’ve put into it. Take care of it. It is never too late to change your life. Treat yourself like you would your best friend. Be forgiving, be compassionate, and be understanding.The only failure is giving up. Good luck. :)

Departments of education and school districts always have to make decisions about what to include in their curriculum.  There are a lot of life skills that people need that aren't taught in school.  The question is should those skills be taught in schools?I teach high school, so I'll talk about that.  The typical high school curriculum is supposed to give students a broad-based education that prepares them to be citizens in a democracy and to be able to think critically.  For a democracy to work, we need educated, discerning citizens with the ability to make good decisions based on evidence and objective thought.  In theory, people who are well informed about history, culture, science, mathematics, etc., and are capable of critical, unbiased thinking, will have the tools to participate in a democracy and make good decisions for themselves and for society at large.  In addition to that, they should be learning how to be learners, how to do effective, basic research, and collaborate with other people.  If that happens, figuring out how to do procedural tasks in real life should not provide much of a challenge.  We can't possibly teach every necessary life skill people need, but we can help students become better at knowing how to acquire the skills they need.  Should we teach them how to change a tire when they can easily consult a book or search the internet to find step by step instructions for that?  Should we teach them how to balance a check book or teach them how to think mathematically and make sense of problems so that the simple task of balancing a check book (which requires simple arithmetic and the ability to enter numbers and words in columns and rows in obvious ways) is easy for them to figure out.  If we teach them to be good at critical thinking and have some problem solving skills they will be able to apply those overarching skills to all sorts of every day tasks that shouldn't be difficult for someone with decent cognitive ability  to figure out.  It's analogous to asking why a culinary school didn't teach its students the steps and ingredients to a specific recipe.  The school taught them about more general food preparation and food science skills so that they can figure out how to make a lot of specific recipes without much trouble.  They're also able to create their own recipes.So, do we want citizens with very specific skill sets that they need to get through day to day life or do we want citizens with critical thinking, problem solving, and other overarching cognitive skills that will allow them to easily acquire ANY simple, procedural skill they may come to need at any point in their lives?

Losing weight is mostly about . High fat, low carb works because it allows you to eat like a normal person while still lowering in the body. The macronutrient that has the least impact on is fat. The macronutrient that has the most impact on is dietary carbohydrate.You can clearly lose weight other ways but they really ultimately rely on . I hear this one highly rated Quora writer always squawk, “the ketogenic diet is a starvation response.” No, not really but think about it, what is “calorie restriction?” That is a classic starvation response. You’re not eating enough to fuel your body.Probably the most popular low calorie plan is Weight Watchers. Weight Watchers restricts the types of carbohydrates you can eat. Want to eat cereal? Well it better have 10 grams of sugar or less. Why do they do this? Because a calorie is not a calorie and if you eat high glycemic foods you will have high levels of and your body will not want to lose weight.Your body’s preferred fuels are glucose and its stored form in the body glycogen. Whether you use low calorie or low carb, eventually you lower the levels of glucose and glycogen and lower the levels of to clear glucose and glycogen from the system. Low carb works quicker and has faster weight loss because you’re not constantly refilling levels of glucose and glycogen with dietary carbohydrate.

Every kind of calorie deficit results in one losing WEIGHT. Most of the time, one loses as much muscle as fat. Ask about losing FAT. One does not need to eat extra fat or any fat in order to do that.Consider that a water fast is the ultimate low-carb diet. One does not eat any carbs at all AND burns fat. Once one is no longer experiencing rebound hypoglycemia, hunger declines so much that one does not need to eat at all, let alone eat extra fat.The longest water fast was 382 days. The subject burned fat and preserved muscle after the first few days of initiation. As importantly, the subject recycled nutrients (other than energy) and did not experience deficiencies.Whether one is on a water fast or a keto diet, one eats fat for two main reasons. It helps block hunger and it SLOWS one’s fat loss as one approaches one’s target level of body fat. One does not stay on a fast or a keto diet forever.There is a secondary reason that applies when one is not fasting. One is tempted to live on protein alone. Long-term experiments with total carnivory showed that the subjects were not comfortable doing that and voluntarily switched increasing proportions of their caloric intake from meat to fat. That is what would probably occur as one pursues a more normal diet.Also consider what that post-keto diet would look like.The recent international PURE study found that longevity increased as fat intake increased, at least through 45% of total calories. It found that mortality increased with increasing starch intake, especially past 65% of total calories. It found that blood pressure declined with increasing protein intake, at least through 18% of total calories. It found that benefit from animal protein but not plant protein. It found benefit from consumption of fruits and vegetables but not beyond 3–4 servings per day, It also found a small increase in mortality when starch intake fell below 40% of total calories.After one has achieved a target level of body fat, the above research recommends a diet of approximately 40/40/20 of fat/starch/protein to maximize health. It would include some minimum amount of fermentable vegetables to feed the intestinal wall.The following link has not been updated to match the numbers from the PURE study but includes some good suggestions both for the keto diet and after it.The 3 Biggest Mistakes People Make On The Ketogenic Diet (And How To Fix Them)

Then you Are in luck, you Will see rapid progress in fat loss while maintaining most of your muscle if you follow these guidelines-Eat sufficient protein. Aim for atleast 1g pr. Pound of -Lean tissue mass- this is excluding your enormous fat resource.Stay in a deficit of calories. The deficit should on average over a week or longer, not drop below 20% of your need (including activity) But!!You Can get away with signNow drops in calories for a few months at a time, if your bodyfat is over 25-30%! This is because your body can easily supply energy reserves directly from your fat. This also protects muscle wasting. This buffer quickly loses effectiveness as you start dropping below 25%, and especially 20% or less - you Will start burning muscle and you Will feel like shit, so refeed shortly and make the deficit less pronounced onwards3. Train fairly low volume in terms of sets and reps, and do mostly big compounds, but keep the intensity challenging for your muscles. The more you try to focus your workout on preserving your overall strength, the less willing your body is to make an adaptation that Will strip you of strength, like wasting muscle tissue.4. Maintain your volume in terms of reps and sets and weight, but be mindful of slowed recovery. When you start struggling to keep your numbers up, accept that its time to minimize the calorie deficit and do not overdo on frequency of training. Stretch frequency just long enough to keep strong enough to do your work.5. Accept loses in strength and muscle as you climb down under 20% fat, and accept that these loses Are going to intensifies the leaner you get.6. Stop underfeeding when you signNow your goal. Also start to eat even more protein if you climb under 15% fat.7. Feeling sick, lethargic and moody? Body composition suddenly started to burn a lot of muscle and less fat? Get your eating and recovery in check, and be mindful to minimize volume of training, as All of this compounds stress that disrupts hormone homestasis in the body. You mess up your hormones, you won't get favourable results. The Best patch up solution is to refeed over maintainance for a periode of time until you regain your senses and your energy. Then try cutting again, but less aggresively. Optimize recovery.

Our diet is simply the foods that we eat. Food gives us energy and should also supply the nutrition we need to maintain good health. How exactly you shuld eat depends on your metabolism, and your nutritional needs, and whether you want to lose weight.Rather than following any of the current fads or diet plans, it’s best to develop your own personal ‘diet’ based on nutritional principles, but also on your preferences and requirements.There are some general principles: the ‘five-a-day’ minimum of fruit/veg portions has expanded to a recommended seven to ten portions per day. Each portion is around 40g, and there should be more vegetables than fruit, or there’s a risk of too much fructose.Some protein should be eaten at each meal, too. Whether you eat meat or not is usually an ethical choice; nobody needs to eat meat, and for good health it’s better to limit red meat to once a week, and to have at least one day with no meat at all. Avoid all processed meat, which contains nitrites and other damaging addtives, if you can.Too many carbohydrates turn to sugars, so it’s best to limit them. But we need some carbs for energy, albeit not as many as used to be recommended. Wholegrain ones are better than white ones - so it’s best to opt for brown rice, wholewheat pasta, wholegrain bread, potatoes baked in skins etc. Home cooked food from scratch is almost always better than using mixes or pre-made food.If you don’t eat healthfully at present, it’s best to adjust gradually, perhaps introducing one or two new vegetables each week, and adding a piece of fruit per day, while stopping something unhealthy. The main problem with unhealthy foods such as soda drinks or white bread is that they add calories but nothing else, meaning that you are likely to feel full before you’ve had all the nutrients you need.It’s also worth keeping a food diary, writing down exactly what you eat and drink every day for a month or so, and also recording any negative symptoms you might experience such as heartburn, bloating, stomach upsets etc. People can be allergic or intolerant to quite a variety of foods, but it can take several weeks to be able to find a pattern, and know what foods might need to be eliminated.
