Atkins Diet: OWL – End of a Good Thing?

Posted by beeman | Uncategorized | Monday 21 June 2010 7:06 pm

This video deals the question “So when can I eat oatmeal again?” that I sometimes get. The answer is you guessed it a personal one, “it depends.” The main goals of the Ongoing Weight Loss (OWL) phase is to determine two things: * your reaction to the new foods you add back into your diet * your Critical Carbohydrate Level for Losing (CCLL) There is also an understood goal as well by the name — that is weight loss continues to happen. Who would want to do something on a diet with 100 pounds to go if you weren’t going to eventually get to goal? Well, rest assured that the OWL phase will get you to your goal weight as well, but you will get there knowing there are no hidden pitfalls of untried foods and knowing how far you can progress up the carbohydrate ladder with no fear. It puts Atkineer in control of their diet, and personalizes the diet even more to their taste. You add the rungs you will eventually want to try and skip those that either hinder your efforts by triggering cravings or that no longer appeal to you. Here are the rungs: 1. Vegetables 2. Dairy 3. Nuts and Seeds 4. Berries and Melons 5. Wine and low carb liquors 6. Legumes/Beans 7. Fruits other than berries 8. Starchy Vegetables 9. Whole Grains Rules of OWL 1. Keep protein and fat as the mainstays of your diet. 2. Increase your daily carbohydrate intake by no more than 5 grams each week. 3. Add new foods in the order listed in the carbohydrate ladder. 4. Add one new food group at a time. 5. Eat a food item

Childhood Obesity Solutions

Posted by beeman | Causes Of Obesity | Wednesday 16 June 2010 7:01 am

I really got up on the wrong side of bed this morning. I was still mad about yesterdays report that childhood obesity for males 6-18 was still on the rise. Mad because we keep talking about it but do nothing. The causes of childhood obesity are clear to me. We cut afterschool sports programs so our kids play video games instead of soccer, neither parents nor the schools teach kids proper nutrition, and what physical education programs we do have are lousy. Investing a small amount of money in our kids would have HUGE dividends in a few decades. PLEASE, lets provide a way for our kids to PLAY sports rather than watch them. Lets teach them proper nutrition, if the parents cant do it then the schools will need to and this costs money but its an investment with huge dividends. And lets take advantage of the physical education classes we do have to teach kids the joy of fitness and sports! Childhood obesity CAN be beat but it will take the co-operation of parents, schools, cities and taxpayers. Lets give our kids a chance to be healthy! Want to see some amazing success stories of kids who have beaten obesity on their own? It can be done but its really hard without support! www.scoobysworkshop.com
