The Paleo Diet is based upon what grok the Caveman did, and ate. Cross Fit applauds the Paleo Diet, which was ranked last by medical experts in USNEWS & WORLD REPORTS. If it wasn't done by cavemen, then it shouldn't be done by you.
This is why if you join crossfit, you don't shower after working out and getting sweaty. Afterall, Cavemen didn't have showers. Or soap. So in order to preserve the bacteria, you should wear it. Don't worry, crossfit gyms have something called a "crossfit puke bucket" if either the smell of paleo B.O. or the horrible taste of raw organ meats makes you have to throw up.
Crossfit Fitness palaces have pukebuckets because the paleo diet is hard on the human body, and wrecks cardio and endurance, so even a light-weight workout of burpees often makes crossfitters throw up. Then lie on the floor full of sweat because they are mentally and athletically exhausted. Paleo and Crossfit make your muscle dwindle, because the paleo diet is catabolic. Without enough carbs, your body needs to cannibalize something else. First it's fat. This is why those on lowcarb atkins paleo ketogenic diets often report losing weight, at first, but then these diets exhaust the fat and begin using protein as fuel. Yes, that means if you go on a Paleo diet, or lowcarb, or atkins, you're essentially "teaching your body to eat away at your own muscle". By eating high protein, your body now thinks protein is fuel. What else is made of protein? Muscles. So you've taught your body to eat it's own muscles, decreasing their mass. Paleo and lowcarb, deprivation of grains and carbs, is the opposite of what you want for bodybuilding. Picture african tribes, they're all skinny and sinewy. Like the physique of a marathon runner, not a bodybuilder.
Thus the Paleo Diet and Crossfit have become the laughing-stock of the fitness world, akin to things like "The Shake Weight!" with so many testimonials of people saying how "it works!" and "It worked for me! I lost weight!". Of course if you believe anecdotes and before and afters and chat board commenters, then every infomercial and fitness contraption and diet plan are the "best" right? Because they ALL have pictures of before and after, and people absolutely VOWING up and down that it worked for them. Watch for people touting crossfit and paleo like this. You'll see it. Meanwhile they're teaching their bodies to deplete their muscle. It's catabolic.
And with the estrogenic effects of the compounds now found in steak, including grassfed beef, and even organic meat, men who eat grassfed beef, especially barbequed, begin to grow more effeminate due to the effects of heterocyclic amines only found in meat, such as "PhIP". PhIP which is in grassfed meat and steak has effects like feminine estrogen on males. This is why Crossfit Paleo Diets lack the proper nutrients and come up deficient for bodybuilding and ranked last among diets in terms of human health.

Im Artikel „Ketogene Diäten. Vorsicht bei Verzicht auf Kohlenhydrate“ wird empfohlen, sich nicht ketogen zu ernähren. Wir als Ketoseportal können das natürlich nicht so stehen lassen.
Hier eine Richtigstellung der Fakten:
Dieser Artikel sagt prinzipiell aus, dass
a) kohlenhydratreduzierte Diäten nur helfen bei Epilepsie, alle weiteren Anwendungsfälle sind nicht nachgewiesen
b) ketogene Diäten zu Ablagerungen an den Gefäßen führen mit der Folge von Schlaganfällen oder Herzinfarkten
c) Ketogene Diät führt zu einer erhöhten Harnsäureproduktion und kann somit zu Gicht führen
Der Artikel zitiert als Quellen nur Interviewpartnern wie Professor Georg Wechsler oder Margret Morlo. Wissenschaftliche Studien werden nicht angegeben. Soviel schon mal zur Tiefe der Recherche, die der Journalist da unternommen hat. Vielleicht ist deswegen auch die Kommentarfunktion ausgeschaltet bei dem Artikel.
Schauen wir doch mal, was an den Punkten jeweils an Wahrheit dran ist.
Zu a) kohlenhydratreduzierte Diäten nur helfen bei Epilepsie, alle weiteren Anwendungsfälle sind nicht nachgewiesen
Dass Ketose bei Epilepsie hilft, ist lange nachgewiesen. Außerdem ist seit über 20 Jahren bekannt, dass Kohlenhydratverzehr zum Metabolischen Syndrom, das zusammen hängt mit Herzkrankheiten, Diabetes, Bluthochdruck, etc. Der Verzicht auf Kohlenhydrate könnte also durchaus helfen, diese Krankheiten zu lindern oder sogar zu heilen.
Kohlenhydratreduzierte Diäten helfen nachgewiesenermaßen für
Diabetes
Risiko kardiovaskulärer Krankheiten
Epilepsie
Gewichtsabnahme
Erste Hinweise in Studien gibt es auf eine Wirksamkeit bei
Akne
PCOS
Neurologischen Krankheiten
Krebs
Außerdem gibt es weitere Anwendungsfelder, die wohl erst in den nächsten Jahren wissenschaftlich nachgewiesen werden, aber schon von Ketanern in Foren diskutiert werden. Einfach mal bei reddit unter /keto suchen.
b) ketogene Diäten zu Ablagerungen an den Gefäßen führen mit der Folge von Schlaganfällen oder Herzinfarkten
(„Es besteht die Gefahr, dass eine nur fettreiche Ernährung zu Ablagerungen an den Gefäßen führt. Die Folge davon können Schlaganfall oder Herzinfarkt sein.“)
Dies beruht auf Ernährungsempfehlungen aus den 60er / 70er Jahren. Es wurde damals angenommen, dass Fett und Cholesterin zuständig ist für eine Verengung der Gefäße. Selbst groß angelegte Studien konnten dies nicht wirklich nachweisen.
Was man jedoch nachweisen konnte, ist, dass der Verzehr von vielen Kohlenhydraten zu mehr ungesunden Cholesterinpartikeln führt. Cholesterin ist nicht gleich Cholesterin. Es gibt unterschiedliche Partikel. Die fiesen kleinen dichten, die zu Ablagerungen an den Gefäßen führen, werden von der Leber aus Kohlenhydraten gebaut.
Genauer gesagt macht die Leber große Fetttropfen, wenn viele Kohlenhydrate gegessen werden. Diese großen Fetttropfen werden in Transportblasen gesteckt. Zusammen bilden Fetttropfen und Transportblase dann die sogenannten LDL Partikel. Diese wandern durch den Körper und geben einen Teil des Fetts ab als Energie an die Zellen. Was übrig bleibt, sind kleine dichte LDL Partikel. Fiese kleine dichte LDL Partikel, die bevorzugt in Gefäßen rumhängen und da Ablagerungen machen.
Wenn wenig Kohlenhydrate da sind, baut die Leber mittelgroße Fetttropfen und legt diese ab in der Transportblase. Dies sind ebenfalls LDL Partikel. Diese mittelgroßen werden aber nie zu kleinen dichten LDL Partikeln, sondern bleiben fluffig. Fluffige LDL Partikel sind unheimlich nett und kuschelig und machen keine Ablagerungen in den Gefäßen.
Kurz gesagt:
Wenig Kohlenhydrate = wenig kleine dichte LDL Partikel
Es sind also Kohlenhydrate, nicht Fett, die Schlaganfälle und Herzinfarkte verursachen.
(Lieber Herr Prof. Wechsler, kennen Sie das Buch „Good Calories Bad Calories“? Wenn Sie mir mehr Studien zeigen können, die darauf hinweisen, dass eine ketogene Ernährungsweise zu Ablagerungen an den Gefäßen führt als Herr Taubes Studien aufführt dazu, dass Kohlenhydrate zu Ablagerungen an den Gefäßen – dann haben Sie hiermit eine persönliche Entschuldigung via Skype und ein persönliches Interview zur Gegendarstellung gewonnen.
Sorry, den Kommentar konnte ich mir nicht verkneifen. Vielleicht weil ich beeindruckt bin, dass Sie einen Professortitel haben. Das heißt, dass Sie viel geforscht und gelesen haben, so einen Titel bekommt man nicht einfach so. Ich wünschte nur, die Forschungsergebnisse zu Low Carb würden zu mehr Ärzten und Professoren durchdringen. Dann würden Menschen wie meine Mama vielleicht nicht fast an Herzproblemen sterben. Oder übergewichtig sein mit Diabetes. Oder mit Erwachsenen-Akne kämpfen. Oder mit Alzheimer. Oder Migräne. Das macht mich wahrscheinlich etwas wütend und daher mein fieser Kommentar. Über ein Interview mit Ihnen würde ich mich trotzdem freuen Herr Professor Wechsler.)
c) Ketogene Diät führt zu einer erhöhten Harnsäureproduktion und kann somit zu Gicht führen
Das ist zum Teil richtig. Bei einer Umstellung von einer Ernährung mit vielen Kohlenhydraten zur ketogenen Ernährung produziert der Körper für mehrere Tage bis Wochen mehr Harnsäure. Danach produziert der Körper genauso viel Harnsäure wie vorher, wenn nicht sogar weniger.
Was genau die zwischenzeitliche Erhöhung der Harnsäure auslöst, ist noch unklar. Es hängt in jedem Fall mit der Umstellung der Energieversorgung des Körpers von Glukose auf Ketone zusammen. Möglicherweise ist das Hirn (braucht am meisten Energie aller Organe im Körper, selbst bei Doofen) verzweifelt, weil es erstmal keine Energie in der gewohnten Form mehr bekommt. Dann baut der Körper etwas Muskelmasse ab und baut die Proteine zu Glukose um. In diesem Prozess entsteht wahrscheinlich die Harnsäure.
Wenn der Körper eine Weile lang nur Ketone als Nahrung hat, gewöhnt er sich daran. Dann funktioniert das Hirn wieder super und ist sogar glücklicher als zuvor, denn es Ketone liefern eine hochwertigere Energie als Glukose.
(Wer jetzt Angst um seine hart trainierten Muskeln hat: auch die leiden nur kurzfristig. Studien haben gezeigt, dass nach kurzer Zeit wieder alles dran ist. Und ja, man kann auf Ketose auch Muskeln aufbauen. Dauert „optisch“ nur länger, weil es reine Muskelmasse ist und keine Fettschicht darauf ist wie beim Muskelaufbau mit Kohlenhydraten.)
Bei den meisten Menschen ist eine vorübergehende Erhöhung der Harnsäure kein Grund zur Beunruhigung. Menschen, die zu Gicht neigen, sollten sich für eine Umstellung auf jeden Fall ärztliche Unterstützung holen.
Wenn du selbst bisher keine Probleme mit Gicht hattest, aber Verwandte von dir, lieber auch auf Nummer sicher gehen. Eine Begleitung von einem Arzt, der sich mit Ketose auskennt bei der Umstellung ist nie verkehrt.
„Wer sich ketogen ernährt, sollte daher regelmäßig die Harnsäure kontrollieren lassen.“
Damit stimme ich überein. Sicher ist sicher!
Man sollte am besten auch andere Werte messen lassen. Damit man mit eigenen Augen sehen kann, wie Entzündungswerte nach unten gehen, weniger fiese dichte LDL Partikel im Körper sind, der Blutdruck sich normalisiert,… mit anderen Worten: damit du mit eigenen Augen sehen kannst, wie du durch Ketose gesünder und fitter wirst.
Im Gegensatz zum Spiegel, der völlig ohne wissenschaftliche Quellen ausgekommen ist um gegen Ketose zu wettern – hier ein kleiner Auszug von Studien zu Ketose. Die Studien erklären, wie Ketose bei Übergewicht, (Markern für) Herzkrankheiten, Diabetes, Akne, Krebs, PCOS und neurologischen Krankheiten hilft:

Top 8 Don’ts
1) Alcohol
2) Sugar (Excluding fruit)
3) Eating out (This is something I reserve for special occasions.)
4) Soda
5) Eating food that comes from a box (Boxed dinners, crackers, cereal, granola bars, etc.)
6) Eating big dinners or a lot of food before bedtime (I know this one can be controversial, again, I’m just telling you what I did to lose weight.)
7) Make excuses
8) Stop once you are at your goal (Keep up the healthy habits)
Top 8 Do’s
1) Make a meal plan for the entire week. Prepare for it and stick to it!
2) Eat plenty of nutritious food: vegetables, protein, fruit. The more “good” food you eat, the less room there will be for you to crave and eat the “bad” food.
3) Exercise. I do at least 150 minutes of cardio a week plus strength training.
4) Take it one day at a time. Break it up into one meal at a time and one workout at a time to make your goal manageable.
5) Record your weight weekly at the same time of the day each week. Personally, I do Friday mornings! (I’ve kept this up during my weight maintenance and it is KEY for me.)
6) Keep motivated. Have daily reminders and a support system of why you want to achieve your goal.
7) Eat breakfast (I say, the bigger the better!)
8) Drink lots of waterhttp://ift.tt/1j5bEEe

When starting a ketogenic diet, you may wonder if you can still enjoy certain dairy products, like yogurt. The good news? Yogurt can be part of a keto lifestyle—if you choose wisely and understand how to fit it into your daily carb limit. Let’s explore the types of yogurt that work best for keto, how to choose the right one, and tips to enjoy it while staying within your macros.

Lab grown meat will never match the nutritional density or environmental stewardship of grass finished beef.
Paige was diagnosed with West syndrome or West's Syndrome (September 2010) it is an uncommon to rare epileptic disorder in infants.
The syndrome is age-related, generally occurring between the third and the twelfth month, generally manifesting around the fifth month. There are various causes ("polyetiology"). The syndrome is often caused by an organic brain dysfunction whose origins may be prenatal, perinatal (caused during birth) or postnatal.
It is either Cryptogenic or Idiopathic.
Cryptogenic
When a direct cause cannot be determined but the child has other neurological disorder, the case is referred to as cryptogenic West syndrome, where an underlying cause is most likely but, even with modern means, cannot be detected. Currently the cryptogenic group is often combined with idiopathic while referred to as "cryptogenic".
Sometimes multiple children within the same family develop West syndrome. In this case it is also referred to as cryptogenic, in which genetic and sometimes hereditary influences play a role. There are known cases in which West syndrome appears in successive generations in boys; this has to do with X-chromosomal heredity.
[edit] Idiopathic
Occasionally the syndrome is referred to as idiopathic West syndrome, when a cause cannot be determined. Important diagnostic criteria are:
Regular development until the onset of the attacks or before the beginning of the therapy no pathological findings in neurological or neuroradiological studies no evidence of a trigger for the spasms
Those are becoming rare due to modern medicine.
Clinical presentation
The epileptic seizures which can be observed in infants with West syndrome fall into three categories, collectively known as infantile spasms. Typically, the following triad of attack types appears; while the three types usually appear simultaneously, they also can occur independently of each other:
Lightning attacks: Sudden, severe myoclonic convulsions of the entire body or several parts of the body in split seconds, and the legs in particular are bent (flexor muscle convulsions here are generally more severe than extensor ones).
Nodding attacks: Convulsions of the throat and neck flexor muscles, during which the chin is fitfully jerked towards the breast or the head is drawn inward.
Salaam or jackknife attacks: a flexor spasm with rapid bending of the head and torso forward and simultaneous raising and bending of the arms while partially drawing the hands together in front of the chest and/or flailing. If one imagined this act in slow motion, it would appear similar to the oriental ceremonial greeting (Salaam), from which this type of attack derives its name.
Paige was first put on Vigabatrin which she outgrew a month later. She was admitted again into Kingston General Hospital to begin a treatment called ACTH.
Therapy
Compared with other forms of epilepsy, West syndrome is difficult to treat. To raise the chance of successful treatment and keep down the risk of longer-lasting effects, it is very important that the condition is diagnosed as early as possible and that treatment begins straight away. However, there is no guarantee that therapy will work even in this case.
Insufficient research has yet been carried out into whether the form of treatment has an effect upon the long-term prognosis. Based on what is known today, the prognosis depends mainly on the cause of the attacks and the length of time that hypsarrhythmia lasts. In general it can be said that the prognosis is worse when the patient does not react as well to therapy and the epileptic over-activity in the brain continues. Treatment differs in each individual case and depends on the cause of the West syndrome (etiological classification) and the state of brain development at the time of the damage.
Due to their side-effects, two drugs are currently being used as the first-line treatment: ACTH and Vigabatrin.
[edit] ACTH
ACTH - Use primarily in United States
Side effects are: Weight gain, especially in the trunk and face, hypertension, metabolic abnormalities, severe irritability, osteoporosis, sepsis, and congestive heart failure.
[edit] Vigabatrin
Vigabatrin (Sabril) - Approved in several countries, including most of Europe, Canada, Mexico, and more recently the United States.
Side effects are: Somnolence, headache, dizziness, fatigue, weight gain, decreased vision or other vision changes
Vigabatrin is known for being effective, especially in children with tuberous sclerosis, with few and benign side effects. But due to some recent studies[4] showing visual field constriction (loss of peripheral vision), it was not approved in the United States until mid-2009. It is currently debated that a short use (6 months or less) of Vigabatrin will not affect vision. Also, considering the effect of frequent seizures on day to day life and mental development, some parents prefer to take the risk of some vision loss.
Other
When those two are proving ineffective, other drugs may be used in conjunction or alone. From those, corticosteroids (prednisone) are often used. In Japan, there is a good experience with pyridoxine therapy. Further, topiramate (Topamax), lamotrigine (Lamictal), levetiracetam (Keppra) and zonisamide (Zonegran) are amongst those drugs most widely used.
The ketogenic diet has been shown to be effective in treating infantile spams,[5] up to 70% of children having a 50% or more reduction in seizure.

I have uploaded videos for those who wonder what the Syndrome is and looks like.
I posted pictures of my beautiful baby girl because people need to understand being chubby or overweight may not always be caused by overfeeding. My daughters was caused by the ACTH treatment which is a steroid.

The post List of Bulletproof Books Available to Read appeared first on Bulletproof Coffee Fan Club.
Any one of the selection Bulletproof books available can be a fantastic reference to remind you of what you haven’t yet or have learnt about biohacking optimal health.
There are times when we need to be offline and just spend some time away from any device that is connected to the internet. We need to stop searching online for an answer and instead just read a book with the important points.
Think of when you go to bed, taking a break on holiday or just a time out during the day. Use this time to move out of searcher mode into learner mode. Take time out in a study or library. Surround yourself with knowledge and start absorbing the wisdom the words are telling you in a good book.
The following selection of recommended reading books are available in both paperback & hardback copies and kindle ebook format from Amazon. These are fantastic reads to help you go deeper into the world of biohacking your gut and brain to make you feel great again and live the best life you can.

Bulletproof Diet Book
Titled: “The Bulletproof Diet: Lose up to a Pound a Day, Reclaim Energy and Focus, Upgrade Your Life.” It was published on December 2, 2014. This is the book that made Dave Asprey a NY Times best selling author when it made the 2015 NYT best selling list in the Food and Diet category.(1)
This the perfect reference if you want to learn everything you need to know how to start the Bulletproof Diet for either men, women or even children. This of course includes the world famous Bulletproof Coffee recipe and the dietary benefits behind it. This is perfect for a beginner who knows nothing about the concept of biohacking. The book will take you on a journey of discovery from what foods to eat an what to avoid like the plague.
This is using an easy to understand food diagram (fridge poster available here) with one side showing a green zone that contains the things you should be eating to the red zone which are the bad things and should be avoided. That makes understanding what to buy at the grocery store so much easier than other diet books. The details for why a specific item of food, like certain vegetables, are in the green zone.The reason why they are good for are explained in easy to understand language and with great references and case studies. The same goes for the red zone foods. These are the ones Dave typically refers to kryptonite and are the kind of menu items that could ruin your day with an unwanted side-effect. Dave explains from his years of experiments why something in what you just ate could make you feel unwell or be helping to cause an unwanted symptom.
It is recommended to use the free Bulletproof Food Detective app when you buy this book. It will help you see if what you ingested is showing up as a possible food allergy by watching your heart rate variability. This will help you take what you are learning about this upgraded biohackers version of the paleo and ketogenic diets and start seeing short term effects. Of course when you stick the course and follow the advice you could be like one of the many testimonials of people losing excess weight for the first time in years and looking great again. You’ll probably end up doing before and after photos just to appreciate the massive change in body shape that come from getting a smaller, ideal waist size again.

Like thousands and thousands of other couples in the US and the rest of the world they were struggling to fall pregnant initially.

The Stretch Marks Factor
Titled: “The Stretch Marks Factor: Prevent Stretch Marks & Build Naturally Vibrant Skin.” It was published on November 8, 2016. This is the book that Dave has authored along with his wife, Dr. Lana Asprey to compliment their other better baby book.
Did you know that your skin is the biggest organ in the body? Too many people take their precious skin for granted. This is especially true when we are young and have a youthful appearance. We might be tricked into thinking we will look like this forever. However, this is definitely not the case. The skin on our faces can tell a story from the wrinkles, crows feet, frown lines and bags under the eyes. We need to actively help our skin organ to keep it looking its best.
Then there is the issue of stretch marks. This is a problem for both men and women! Dave is open when he shows pictures of when he was obese and was then able to lose all that excess weight and look muscular again. However, when you are that big you stretch your skin and end up with unwanted fat person, silver and white stretch lines. The same happens with body builders, Like on their pecs and biceps, when they grow their muscles by doing lots of gym.
Then there are the pregnant mums who love having a baby, but not the stretch tummy skin and possible marks from it. Lana has a passion for fertility and explains why only 50% of pregnant women ever get the issue. Then there are the other answers given to common questions like:
What is the connection between hormones, stress and stretch marks?
What is the one key type of skin cells that is causing stretch marks (and wrinkles) plus how do you to try keep them healthy?
What are the seven key nutrients that make healthy skin plus what foods to avoid?
What are the six cutting-edge techniques to help eliminate stretch marks without the need for seeing a plastic surgeon?
What supplements are essential for blemish-free skin that make you appear healthier again?
“Stretch marks are a burden or a fear for many people, but they don’t have to be. With proper nutrition and an informed lifestyle, you can keep stretch marks at bay and reap the benefits of healthy skin. Stretch marks have affected my life, and Lana and I hope this book will keep them from affecting yours.” – Dave and Lana Asprey Quote

HEAVY METAL 2000 F.A.K.K. was a Tower Records Exclusive. Featuring Regular Julie Strain (red outfit), was a Tower Records Exclusive. Featuring Regular Julie Strain (red outfit), Holyland Julie Strain (blue outfit), Zeek, and the Villainous Lord Tyler, all come with accessories. Figures are 6 inches tall. The acronym F.A.K.K. (Federation Assigned Ketogenic Kilzone) is a universal warning to all Federation deep space navigators. It indicates an extreme bio-hazard to all carbon-based life forms, from simple one-cell organisms to complex sentient life.

Bathroom scales, a tape measure and fruit lowcarbalpha.com/not-losing-weight-on-low-carb-diet/ The reasons you're not losing weight on low carb
Body Fat is the “enemy” of every gimmicky beach body program, Plexus or Shakeology advertisement, or personal trainer.
As America’s obesity and diabetes epidemics continue to climb (with obesity hitting a record high in October 2017 at 40-percent of all adults and 20-percent of all kids), it’s no wonder the diet and health industry is aimed at selling us the secrets to: “Lean out,” “Tone up,” and “Get shredded.”
And who doesn’t love seeing Before and After pictures of formerly frumpy, unhealthy bodies with, seemingly, overnight, washboard abs, thigh gaps, and cut shoulders?
So in our efforts to “lose body fat,” we Google search answers until the wee hours of the night, swear off carbs and run at Level 10 on the treadmill at Orange Theory Fitness, hoping that our hard work and diligence will pay off.
However, despite the rules, our workouts, super clean eating and “secrets to body fat loss” sold by clever health marketers, something is not working.
After all…if it was, why would the diet and health industry continue to be a multi-billion dollar industry? And why would America’s chronic health epidemics continue to worsen—not “get better.”
Answer: The secret(s) to losing body fat naturally may not be in the dogma rules many trainers, ads and shake companies claim we “should” follow.
Beyond eliminating carbs, fasting and counting macros…there are a handful of other secrets to losing body fat naturally that most trainers won’t tell you.
Here are 8 (Essential) Strategies for Natural Body Fat Loss (that your trainer won’t tell you).
Eat Fat
“Fat burns fat.” It’s true. Fat is the most nutrient-dense and energy-rich substance we consume, and it is necessary for making every cell in our body strong and less permeable. Think of your cells like a raisin or a smooth bean. If your cells are like a raisin (shriveled up, and permeable), they allow more toxins and sugars inside. They are unable to be strong and withstand the exposure and consumption of non-essential nutrients, and consequently, are more apt to “store” things like sugar and toxins inside the cells, and become less healthy overall. If your cells look like a bean, however—they are supple and smooth. They are less immune to storing toxins and sugars inside, and consequently, they are stronger and more resilient. When we eat healthy fat, we build up the outer layer of our cells to be LESS PERMEABLE, and less apt to “store” fat. You (and your body) are fueled and have energy to “go strong” throughout the day.
In addition to composing the outer layer of your cells, eating healthy fats ALSO protect our hormones and metabolism from riding the blood sugar roller coaster that we ride when we eat a low-fat diet, or higher carbohydrate diet (even “healthy carbs”). Fat helps keep your blood sugar from dipping too low or skyrocketing too high, which can, in turn, impact your cortisol (stress hormones). When the body is stressed, the LAST thing it wants to do is shed body fat. In addition, when the body is stressed—and not used to eating fats because you don’t eat enough of them—it cries out for the only thing it knows it will get from you—sugar or low-fat foods (that you keep eating to fill the food void you’re having). The cycle goes on…and body fat loss is not on your body’s agenda.
Reach for 1 to 2 healthy fats with each meal, and in place of sugary snacks or carbohydrate-based snacks, reach for a healthy fat or protein as the base.
Some healthy fat ideas?
Raw nuts and seeds, extra virgin olive oil, coconut oil, coconut butter, avocado, olives, ghee, grass-fed butter, full-fat fermented yogurt, coconut yogurt, fatty cuts of organic meats, pastured eggs, avocado oil.
Fat does a body good.
Don’t Fear Carbs
Carbs are NOT the enemy. Contrary to the claims that completely eliminating carbs is “the secret” to fat loss success, when we go too low of carbs, particularly veggies here, we risk eliminating fiber—which is essential to elimination (ie. poop patterns), healthy gut bacteria and metabolic balance.Extreme diets of any sort can set your “metabolism off” negatively, since cortisol (your stress hormone) may be impacted—especially if your body is already in a stressed out (ie. “HPA-Axis Dysfunction”) state.
Research continues to ask: “Low Fat vs. Low Carb Diets: Which One is Better?” But the kicker here is…everybody is different.
For example, studies of women who go on a ketogenic (high fat, extremely low carb diet), show that, for women who have experienced “blood sugar issues” and “insulin resistance,” ketogenic diets CAN BE beneficial as a short-term dietary approach.
However, for women who may have their blood sugar more under control, BUT who have some HPA-Axis Dysfunction (ie. adrenal fatigue or hormone imbalances), a ketogenic diet MAY NOT be helpful—and actually may be more harmful in the long run.
In addition, carbohydrates supply much-needed pre-biotics (fiber) that are necessary for helping build and create a healthy gut “microbiome.” Without these carbs, any efforts to establish a healthy gut (Strategy #3) will be more of a struggle, since probiotics (HEALTHY gut bacteria) need pre-biotics to thrive.
Why gut health matters? We’ll get into it in a minute, but essentially: If your gut is not healthy, then the rest of your body (metabolism included) will not be healthy, nourished and able to…thrive either.
The kicker? There has YET to be a study that shows that a balanced diet over all ever did any harm at all.
Therefore, instead of thinking in terms of extremes for body fat loss, aim for the simplest, realest foods and balance as possible, building your carbohydrate sources on dietary sources the human body thrives upon. Generally this may look like:
Body Fat Loss Carb Picks:
Leafy Greens (cooked and raw). Aim for at least 1 to 3 servings/day.
Pre-biotic Carbs. Aim for 1 to 2 servings, especially of green-tipped bananas or plantains, cooked and cooled potatoes, winter squash and sweet potatoes, Jerusalem artichokes, onions, garlic, asparagus.
Fiber-rich Veggies. Broccoli, zucchini, yellow squash, asparagus, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, celery, cucumbers, etc.
Starchy Tubers. Minimal to Moderate. Keep for 1 to 2 servings/day (maybe a pre-biotic) Potatoes, Sweet Potatoes, Squashes, Carrots, Beets, Yucca, Jicama.
Fruits. Minimal. 1 to 2 servings/day. For the short-term, some people find tweaking or lessening fruit consumption helps for the short-term.
Grains. Not ideal (for absorption issues, and higher-connection to bacterial overgrowth)
By aiming to include more healthy fats into our diet, alongside moderate protein, and moderate carbohydrates (primarily in the form of real foods), we turn on our metabolism revving engine and help keep our blood sugar stable (for longer)
Count Energy Not Macros or Calories
Our body doesn’t see food in terms of macros or calories. It sees nutrients. That said, it needs LOTS of energy-revving, nutrient-dense foods to thrive.
The problem many macro or calorie based plans run into is that they fixate on numbers, scales and measures, without acknowledging the nutrient density in foods—and how your metabolism benefits from foods that supply LOTS of energy (and color).
For instance, 1/2 a cup of gummy bears with high-fructose corn syrup may supply your body with a punch of “quick digesting carbs” after a workout, but the nutrient composition and health it provides for a healthy metabolism and blood sugar balance is completely DIFFERENT than 1/2 a cup of berries or a small sweet potato.
And although chicken, broccoli, oats, asparagus, egg whites, peanut butter, olive oil, rice and rice cakes, give your body some protein, fat, and carbs, how color-rich are your meals?
Less color (or variety)=Less nutrients=Less metabolism revving power.
When we consume LOTS OF COLORFUL veggies, body-boosting healthy fats and essential sustainable proteins (for the muscle shaping and supportive amino acids), our metabolism comes alive—extracting various vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants to keep your body revving.
Some energy boosting foods?
My top picks:
Dark Leafy Greens
Colors of the Rainbow) Veggies (Aim for 2-3 different veggie colors at each meal)
Berries
Citrus (Lemon, Orange, Lime, Grapefruit)
Organic Herbs (Parsley, Cilantro, Rosemary, Thyme, Sage)
Organ Meats,
Fermented Foods (Sauerkraut)
Pastured Eggs & Poultry, Grass-fed Beef & Wild Caught Fatty Fish
Coconut Oil, Cold-Pressed Extra Virgin Olive Oil & Ghee or Grass-fed Butter
Avocado
Raw Brazil Nuts, Walnuts & Macadamia Nuts
—Just to name a few.
While you’re at it, make sure you are EATING ENOUGH. Under-eating is just as “detrimental” as overeating. Remember: “More (energy)” is NOT a bad thing.
Stress Less
Stress is the #1 driver of all disease—including “stubborn body fat.” Unfortunately stress is inevitable in our rat-race society, however, it IS an often overlooked factor in areas beyond mental forms of stress.
Even if you don’t think you’re stressed out, stress goes far beyond mental stress. Daily stressors—like blue light exposure, screens (at night), lack of time spent in nature, burning a candle at both ends, sedentary or over-active lifestyle, etc.—threaten metabolic balance.
Biologically, your cortisol (ie. stress hormone) needs to be in a state of balance in order to shed body fat or let go of “unwanted” pudge. If your body feels threatened, cortisol levels get out of sorts in order to cope with the stress, and consequently, the LAST thing your body wants to do when it’s running from a bear inside (ie. stress) is comply with your body fat loss protocol.
This is called “HPA-Axis Dysfunction”—dysfunction of the hypothalmus-pituitary-adrenal gland axis that governors of their stress hormones and metabolism.
Some simple (but effective) game changers for balancing cortisol?
Shut off screens in the evening hours, or power down to “Night Shift” (like f.lux) and use Blue-Blocking glasses
Get fresh air—at least 30-60 minutes each day
Move your body with a “Goldilock’s” approach. (Too much exercise will shoot your cortisol in the foot). De-stress naturally with regular exercise without over-exerting or pushing your body beyond limit.
Get off the treadmill. Build a foundation of lean muscle with strength trainIng (ie. weights 2 to 5 days per week), and less focus on cardio, cardio, cardio! For balance, sprinkle in a little bit of HIIT (ie. sprints, Cross-Fit style workouts, 1 to 3 times per week) and endurance training (1 to 3 days)—such as 2 days of HIIT, and 1 to 2 days of spinning, swimming or running, all supported by daily lifestyle movement (walking, playing with your kids, standing at work, etc.), and plenty of walking and simple movement
Just say “no” to things draining your schedule, energy or time.
Get your beauty sleep.
And, all things considered, the mind is still a powerful tool. Countless studies demonstrate the effectiveness of stress reduction (in the mind) to help suppress and alleviate an otherwise stressed out metabolism (ie. cortisol levels). Incorporating a practice of deep breathing, meditation or prayer, meditative movement (ie. stretching, yoga, dance), and reading and listening to positive truth (ie. positive podcasts, books, speakers, etc.) are all tactics for mindfully reducing stress. Check out the book the “Placebo Diet: Use Your Mind to Transform Your Body” for an interesting read on the placebo phenomenon
Eat Mindfully
Speaking of stressing less, MINDFULNESS (particularly with meals) can help “reduce cortisol and even abdominal fat, with research to back this up. In a study of 47 participants, half of the group incorporated mindful eating into their daily eating practice, the other half did not. Results revealed that the mindful eaters lost a significant amount of body fat compared to those who did not. The take home? Incorporate these techniques into your own meal times:
Chew your food (fully)
De-screen (turn off the TV, computer and even books)
Assess and check in with your own level of hunger and fullness. You don’t have to always finish your plate; and sometimes, you may want seconds. Check in to your gut on a scale of 1-10 (1=starving, 10=stuffed)
Be aware of how food makes you feel (Are you bloated, constipated, breaking out, anxious, have allergies, etc.? Something may be in your food, protein powders or bars that is not sitting well with you).
Don’t eat the same things every day. Incorporate a variety of nutrients from real foods.
Get Your Beauty Sleep
Sleep is a natural anti-stressor that is also like a magical “pill for body fat loss.
It’s no secret LACK of sleep doesn’t do a body good. If anything, leaving you feeling groggy, tired and out of sorts. However, when it comes to fat loss specifically, lack of sleep also works against your body. One study of participants on a moderate-calorie diet showed that those who slept 8.5 hours, as opposed to 5.5 hours, lost 50-percent more body fat than the less-sleep group Individuals
Sometimes the “secret to success” involves LESS doing (ie. dieting, working out, trying so hard), and MORE BEING.
Lose From the Inside Out: Heal Your Gut
Speaking of the gut….Stubborn metabolism? Unwanted body fat? Underarm jiggle or love handles you just can’t shake?
Beyond stress, one essential factor most people don’t consider when it comes to body fat loss is what’s going on in their gut—the gateway to health (including a healthy, lean body).
If you have an underlying gut issue (ie. bacterial overgrowth, fungal overgrowth, imbalanced gut bacteria, chronic bloating and constipation, low stomach acid, a sluggish liver/gallbladder), this will lead to an underlying “stress” (ie. ie. cortisol levels that are too high or too low) or nutrient deficiency and malabsorption issue.
The result? Your body is going to fight against you, no matter how clean you eat OR how much you workout.
A study (Hjorth et al, 2017) on the effectiveness of a gut-healing protocol in people on a “fat loss” program found those who focused on healing their gut, versus those who did not, lost an average of about 11 pounds of body fat (with only 3 of those pounds related to diet alone).
Other research (Haas et al, 2017) on the “effectiveness” of intermittent fasting (IF) has shown that, in individuals with a “healthier gut” (less bacterial overgrowth) and better digestion show benefits from the IF technique, versus those who have an unhealthy gut microbiome.
A study (Ott et al, 2017) on the effectiveness of a “body fat loss” diet in obese women found that, beyond the scale, it appears the healthier diet for these women actually resulted in a more balanced gut microbiome. In other words, the reason why a “clean eating” diet may work is because it is supporting a healthier gut overall. If this is the case, consider the possibilities when you focus more intently on healing and restoring your gut health (as opposed to restrictive eating)? Oh the possibilities!
And an interesting report, published in the International Journal of Obesity (Sharkey, 2016), from a bariatric surgery doctor highlights this finding as well—asserting that, for healthy body fat loss and energy balance, gut health is essential.
In short: You are ONLY as healthy as the trillions of gut bacteria that outnumber your cells at least 10 times.
Your gut health acts like a domino effect for ALL other systems in your body. When your gut is UNABLE to absorb and digest your nutrients appropriately, or it is rotting and fermenting bacteria inside, then your other body systems (including your brain, your hormones, your liver—detoxifying organ, and more) are UNABLE to be fed.
What happens when you are not “well fed”—or nourished? Health declines. Your hormones (and cortisol) get out of whack. You experience increased anxiety, the “need to binge” or mood imbalances (ie. “dieting sucks”). And nutrient deficiencies are more common. Unfortunately, gut issues impact upwards of 75-percent of all Americans—even if they don’t have gut symptoms” (like bloating, constipation, IBS, or loose stools). Other signs of “gut dysfunction” may be a slowed metabolism, unexplained weight loss or weight gain, allergies, low immunity, anxiety, skin breakouts or general fatigue and lack of energy.
On the contrary, what happens when you rid of any unwanted bacteria or undigested food hiding out in your gut? Inflammation lessens, your metabolism, cortisol levels and thyroid are supported…and your body is “free” to stop holding on to unwanted body fat.
The best way to find out if you have a gut issue?
Test, don’t guess. Consult with a practitioner skilled in digging deeper into gut health for a personalized approach. Some testing may include: SIBO testing, stool testing, hormone and food intolerance testing. In addition, metabolic, thyroid and hormone testing (such as the DUTCH test and functional blood work) may also be beneficial for addressing hormone or metabolic imbalances as well.
In my own practice with clients, I find that most of my clients who cannot “lose body fat” (no matter what) often have a gut or metabolic imbalance that is driving their “inability.”
Look to your gut (and your hormones)—inside.
Supplement Smart
The diet industry is saturated with formulas and magical pills to shed the body fat (ie. “fat burners”). However, most of these are ultimately clever marketing and ways to steal your dollars. (And many of these may also jack with your cortisol levels—ie. stress hormones—making your stress and body fat loss worse in the long run, not better).
The key supplements I recommend to almost anyone on a body fat loss plan are simple—
A quality probiotic + fermented foods
Apple Cider Vinegar—1 tbsp. in 2-4 ounces of water around meal times
Digestive Enzymes (optional) or helping break down food
That’s it for “essentials.”
After all, if you are NOT digesting your foods in the first place (through healthy gut support) then you’re going to continue missing the mark on nutrient balance for your health and hormones.
P.S.
Not all supplements are created equal. In fact, 95-percent of probiotics on shelves do not contain the probiotics they claim, or the quality of probiotics needed to compose a healthy gut microbiome.
A few faves include:
Megaspore Probiotic (order through a practitioner)
Floramyces by Designs for Health (Use code: LAURYNLAX to be able to order)
Primal Flora Probiotic
Garden of Life Primal Defense Ultra (if you don’t have SIBO—small intestinal bacterial overgrowth)
Fermented Foods (1-2 condiment sized servings daily)
Sauerkraut
Low-Sugar Kombucha
Kefir
Grass-fed Plain Yogurt
Beet Kvass
Fermented & Pickled Veggies
GET REAL
These 8 essential strategies could be the “game-changers” you’ve been running circles around—trying to figure out the “answers” to body fat loss success.
The BIGGEST GAMECHANGER of them all though?
One that comes from a heart—and gut—check…with yourself: Not making your goal SOLELY about fat loss.
Fat loss is a byproduct of something else you REALLY want. You want that FEELING of fat loss—feeling good in your own skin, feeling good when you fit into your favorite jeans, feeling confident in your work, social interactions or relationships.
Identify that FEELING that you think your body-fat loss will bring you, and begin feeding into goals and pursuits outside body fat loss measures or the scale itself in order to attain what it is your truly want.
In my own health journey, and the journey of HUNDREDS of clients I’ve worked with over the years, the BIGGEST GAMECHANGER for “getting the body you want” will come when you stop focusing so much on the scale or size, and instead make goals and set intentions around other “bigger” things in your life.
It’s not bad to want to lose body fat or “tone up,” but when our sole drive and focus is aimed at body fat loss alone, we will hit a roadblock because that “dangling carrot” will never be fully attained (there will always be someone better, fitter, prettier, leaner than us, or a standard of dieting or body type that we want to achieve).
Set goals for your personal development, your peace with yourself and food, healing your gut or hormones, stressing less, your relationships, your dreams, your spiritual walk, your passion and purpose you bring to this world, and the body fat loss (or other body and health goals) WILL follow (promise, promise).
Above all, it’s vital to remember that, contrary to popular belief…We actually need some body fat for health and function.
In other words: Body fat alone is not necessarily the big bad scary enemy we’ve made it out to be.
Body fat tissue (“essential fat”)…
Keeps our organs, brain, and heart working
Provides insulation for body temperature regulation
Protects our organs
Gives us extra energy to expand in our active lifestyle
Supports healthy hormone balance.
Most women need about 20 to 28 percent body fat and men somewhere between 10 to 18 percent for general health (particularly hormone health).
That said, there is no one-size-fits-all body type for men and women and within the context of other health markers (ie. your menstruation cycle, your gut health, presentation of other diseases), your body will thrive when you make peace with the process of self-care.
THE BOTTOM LINE
Body fat loss is not rocket science.
Address the roots of underlying imbalances.
Eat and nourish yourself consistently with energy-giving, nutrient-dense whole foods.
Aim to stress less.
And pick a bigger goal outside your body size itself (the body will follow your heart and your gut intuition).

Why wear a continuous glucose monitor?
Too much glucose in your bloodstream is toxic, too little is fatal. Our bodies prioritize by keeping us sick and alive (with obesity, high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes) in the former condition, and manufacturing glucose in the latter. Because of this, too much blood glucose is common, too little blood glucose is rare.
A continuous glucose monitor is another - provides minute by minute information about how the body handles this tightly controlled metabolite. Currently, these are used for people with diabetes (unfortunately a greater % of the population), eventually, as is being discussed, this technology may be embedded in the Apple Watch.
In terms of the product, I am fascinated by the color combinations chosen - the blue and yellow are clearly a complementary pair, making the device itself a color harmony.

What Is Keto Diet ?
“Ketogenic” is a term for a low-carb diet (like the Atkins diet). The idea is for you to get more calories from protein and fat and less from carbohydrates. You cut back most on the carbs that are easy to digest, like sugar, soda, pastries, and white bread. Keto Side Dishes for recipes.
When you eat less than 50 grams of carbs a day, your body eventually runs out of fuel (blood sugar) it can use quickly. This typically takes 3 to 4 days. Then you’ll start to break down protein and fat for energy, which can make you lose weight. This is called ketosis. It’s important to note that the ketogenic diet is a short term diet that’s focussed on weight loss rather than the pursuit of health benefits.
People use a ketogenic diet most often to lose weight, but it can help manage certain medical conditions, like epilepsy, too. It also may help people with heart disease, certain brain diseases, and even acne, but there needs to be more research in those areas. Talk with your doctor first to find out if it’s safe for you to try a ketogenic diet, especially if you have type 1 diabetes.

100 grams of Rib Eye has 11 grams of monounsaturated fat, about the same amount of monounsaturated fat as there is in 1 tablespoon of olive oil. 1 tablespoon of olive oil has 1.4 grams of saturated fat, a little more than in 1 slice of bacon (1.1 grams saturated fat). There is no food that has only one kind of fat. Rib Eye is a fattier cut of meat; a sirloin cut has 4.8 grams of saturated fat, or 3 tablespoons of olive oil’s worth.
We also now know there is no evidence that replacing saturated fat with carbohydrates is better for human health, probably the opposite is the case.
And, as expected, ingestion of the stake resulted in no rise in blood glucose, as tested with a continuous glucose monitor (glycemic index of steak =0 )
