So You're Hungry

You've tried to eat right. Watch your calories. Minimized sugar, dairy & alcohol. But cravings are driving your appetite like a Mack truck.
Now what? Give in, but just a little. Here's how.

-First slow it with water, even the fastest vehicles meets resistance in water.
-Next, offer a Piece Treaty. A piece of a healthy treat. Fruits and vegetables have appeased kings stopped many wars between savages.
-Lastly, give a little. There's a reason you have a craving, let it have it's voice. But just a little, remember cravings can have their say but not their way.

Oatmeal or Cookie

Some eat oatmeal daily for heart health. There's certainly lots of benefits to this. But I wouldn't make this my daily ritual. It's not really the best for weight loss.

Oatmeal = milk, sugar, butter (1/2 cup 200+ calories)

Is Coffee a Diuretic?

Does the caffeine in drinks make you lose body fluids more frequently?
Or does coffee make you pee more?

It takes 300mg of caffeine before is increases urination over water. About 20 cups.

But solids in our liquids like sugar and creamer slows stomach emptying.

So the answer is yes but likely less than water.

*coffee leeches iron, but vitamin D and C in dairy helps us retain iron.

Refined Foods

`During World War II Denmark stopped refining flour, an action which was not accompanied by any other marked changes in living habits. Later it was found that the death rate had dropped and that there had been a marked decline in cancer, heart disease, diabetes, kidney trouble, and high blood pressure.' (Mental And Elemental Nutrients, Carl C. Pfeiffer, Ph.D., M.D. p.72)

Laboratory animals cannot live for more than a few weeks on white bread, yet most of us like eating this denatured and impoverished food.' (Rex Newnham, Odyssey, Dec/Jan 1983/4, p.14)

Too Much Inventory

What happens to the stock delivered to a store at night? First the shelves are filled, the the overstock it stored. There's not much traffic at night and product hardly moves.

Our bodies are similar, at night we store 1 to 3 hours of energy in our muscles and liver. About 100-300 calories.
Anything over our energy stores is put into our fat storage.

Most people get 3-5 deliveries a day. In the morning and at night we don't need a lot of product.

The Origins of Obesity an Evolution

What does Charles Darwin have to do with eating habits? In the 1920s most rural peoples ate only toast and coffee for breakfast. In an effort to sell more livestock Farmers hired a Marketing Professional. The son of famed Evolutionist Charles Darwin.
He conducted a survey of a few Doctors. Simply, "would you prefer people eat a large hearty breakfast or a small one?" .....hence more eggs, pork, milk, etc were sold.

150 minutes

The American Heart Association recommends 150 minutes of moderate exercise every week.
This is said to reduce cancer risk, diabetes, bring peace to the earth, stop baby seals from dying.

We perform 120 minutes of High Intensity exercise weekly. Imagine the good were doing for the universe.

Carb Timing

Elite athletes have always practiced a concept called Carb Timing. Eating the right carbs before competition or one hour after workouts increases performance and spikes insulin in order to accelerate muscle repair. (Right, there are times you should spike insulin)

Carb timing should be practiced at low RMR times also. Or when you metabolism is slowed and energy production is minimized.

Nighttime would be a good time to watch intake amounts.

Hidden Protein Sources

When we were in Korea my wife ate silk worms. I couldn't do it, at least not knowingly.
But all processed food contain insects parts. Hidden protein. Although this is a plus for processed foods there are better ways to get your protein.
