Our son, Willie, got a homework assignment. His worksheet teaches the proper amount of calories to consume to have a normal weight. The school teaches kids they can find their familiar foods — at any local fast food joint. Surprise, surprise! Could it be that our schools are actually Suspect Number One in fostering obesity and chronic illness? Watch the video — Willie and Dr. McDougall explain. More info at www.ProcessedPeople.com

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.

Dr. George Scheele, the “Good Doctor,” describes how deficiencies in amino acids in the food chain give rise to overweight disorders and obesity and how Factor4 Weight Control® helps normalize body weight by combating the dietary causes of obesity. There 3 dietary causes of obesity; excess calories in a sedentary society, excess refined sugars and carbohydrates and a NEW defined cause – Protein Deficiency Syndrome. Obesity is only part of the problem. It is only part of the spectrum of metabolic diseases that are associated with the “Metabolic Syndrome.” The “Metabolic Syndrome” is harmful giving rise to chronic degenerative diseases that are associated with accelerated aging. Obesity is the most obvious sign of “Metabolic Syndrome.” Humans are naturally deficient in amino acids. There are 20 amino acids required to build proteins and humans only produce 11 of these. The other 9 must be obtained from the food chain. In fact, only bacteria and plants produce all 20 amino acids. When we eat refined sugars and carbohydrates amino acids become deficient in moving up the food chain. Amino acids become deficient in moving up the food chain (“food chain gap”). This gap in amino acids is harmful to the rebuilding process in the body. For more details on protein deficiency syndrome, watch the video to see a visual representation of protein analysis on 2D gels.

In this video, I deal with the importance of water in a low carb or specifically Atkins Diet. Like any diet, water is important to make you fill full, keep you hydrated for exercise, and to quench your thirst. Its importance can not be stressed enough in a low carb diet though as its additional benefits, such as: * its role in metabolizing fat * its role in reducing Induction Flu symptoms * its role in flushing the toxins and by-products (like ketones) from the system through your kidneys I deal with the quesiton of how much is required per day and even make some suggestions on how to make it more palatable for those hydro-phobic people like I was. My suggestion is to look at water intake like a necessity similar to exercise. For somethings you just need to get it over with and get on with life. Eventually, it won’t seem as bad as it might when you are first starting, and given the prospect of lower than optimal weight loss, why wouldn’t you drink it? Thanks again for all the views and comments.

This powerful video explores the trials and real life tribulations of 6 Philadelphia weight loss surgery patients who struggled to maintain their surgical weight losses. Sadly, 75 % of patients will eventually regain a significant portion of their original weight loss. For some patients there are physical or medical obstacles to long term success but for most patients regain can be dramatically reduced with aftercare that routinely incorporates the individual counseling needed to achieve long term success. Bariatric surgery produces dramatic weight reduction, but it does not address the underlying psychological and behavioral causes of obesity. In 1999, Carol Signore, Academy for Eating Disorders Fellow, and bariatric surgery veteran, developed My Self Design to fill this void.
