	<itunes:summary>This weekly podcast is based on the book by the same name, found on http://www.healthymindfitbody.com that explores both the nutritional and psychological sides of weight loss, fitness, diet, overall health and longevity.

The three pillars for achieving your perfect weight through the mind/body connection (found in the free bonus audio on our website) serve as the basis for our discussions of food, exercise, and dieting.

Essentially, by attaining the correct knowledge about how food types can affect your bodyfat percentage, you&#039;ll be able to make much better choices that serve your long-term interests. By exploring your inner continent--your subconscious mind--you&#039;ll gain a degree of self-knowledge that will assist in ending self-conflict (being at war with yourself). And by looking at your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in a new more effective and efficient way, you&#039;ll be able to heighten your motivation to create the optimal you!</itunes:summary>

In this second half of our interview with Robb Wolf, author of upcoming book The Paleo Solution, we discuss the potential ills of legumes, such as beans, peas, and peanut butter. Similar to grains, they have some inflammatory properties (but your individual results may vary). Another point covered was: given the plethora of bad foods out there, it&#039;s important for adults to take responsibility and ensure the availability of good foods in their households. Keeping it simple is the key (e.g., protein, veggies, and fat), rather than making it more complex and difficult for yourself (no need for food journaling, for instance). Turns out, pretty much every human does well by removing grains, legumes, and dairy from their diet; then, it&#039;s just a matter of adjusting the macronutrients as needed. Ultimately, the healthy mind fit body lifestyle will provide you the foundation from which you can fine-tune your health...and maybe even go full-on paleo at some point!

This show is the first part of our two-part interview with Robb Wolf, a paleo-oriented strength and conditioning coach with a biochemistry background. He offers his insights about the paleo eating regimen and the problems with modern diets. We ask him about his own evolution to the paleo lifestyle, from sick vegetarian, to lower carb, to paleo (dairy, grain, and legume free). We explore the potential drawbacks of eating dairy and grains based on the effects of gluten, lectin and other particular proteins, such as developing &quot;leaky gut&quot; and various autoimmune problems.

We discuss a mix of things in this show, starting with my recent experience with food poisoning (wasn&#039;t pretty) and Kevin&#039;s July 4th holiday foodstuff experiences. Confidence comes with being aligned with what&#039;s healthy and good for you and being able to achieve your values in life. And confidence in how you look ought to be a reflection of doing what&#039;s healthy for your body (unlike what the endeavoring-to-be-1000-pounds woman believes). Basically, everyone can be physically fit and healthy. A couple listener questions involved, first, why low carb/high fat/adequate protein eating is good for you, no matter if you already are your perfect weight (based on the insulin factor), in addition to some pitfalls with grains and potentially with dairy and, second, the relative merits of the grain-like seed quinoa. Also, Dr. Weil comes clean and admits that saturated fat is ok and that carbs are detrimental, giving a strong nod to the keen investigational research of science writer Gary Taubes.

In this show Kevin finishes interviewing Dr. James Carlson, who provides us with a wealth of biochemistry knowledge and experiences with patients (and fellow physicians) concerning the ills of the typical dietary (and thus drug) prescription by most health care &quot;authorities&quot;--as well as the vast benefits of eating the proper foods (lower carb and higher fat) to ensure health and longevity. Carbohydrates do affect moods, and people unfortunately can become addicted to them and experience withdrawal symptoms. Insulin secretion needs to be minimized (via low carb foods) for achieving your optimal body fat percentage and ensure overall health.

In this show Kevin interviews Dr. James Carlson, who provides us with a wealth of biochemistry knowledge and experiences with patients (and fellow physicians) concerning the ills of the typical dietary (and thus drug) prescription by most health care &quot;authorities&quot;--as well as the vast benefits of eating the proper foods to ensure health and longevity. His book &quot;Genocide: How Your Doctor&#039;s Dietary Ignorance May Kill You!!!&quot; explores these issues in fine detail, including the four myths: eating fat makes you fat;. eating cholesterol causes heart disease; calories are important; exercise is needed to lose weight. In actuality, a low carb, higher fat and adequate protein eating regimen is preferred for humans. Unfortunately, medical doctors were never taught this, and they tend not to care about the truth in this vital matter; a paradigm shift in med school needs to take place.

Kevin offers a great hmfb salad (patent pending;) that includes grass-fed beef. We cover the problems with various carbs, not eating an adequate breakfast or greens, or being properly hydrated. Black tea has its health benefits too. Finally, we cover a couple listener emails dealing with the deleterious nature of grains and particular exercise equipment to maintain strength and fitness, as well as my ingenious method for eating blueberries with almond butter (gleaned from a chimp technique:).

We also explore The Belly Fat Cure, a book by Jorge Cruise, fitness guru and nutrition coach. He&#039;s brought a message that&#039;s quite similar to ours into the mainstream (even on Oprah), which is great, but we have our caveats and explain why our unique focus on the psychological side of weight loss, fitness, and nutrition is so important!

The Body Mass Index (BMI) and weight scales are not the best indicators of body fat percentage, which reflects the carb/insulin factor

http://abcnews.go.com/Nightline/childhood-obesity-pediatric-weight-management-clinic/story?id=10650793

Parents are responsible for the kinds of foods kids eat; they shop for groceries and stock the shelves at home

http://abcnews.go.com/nightline/video/baby-battle-bulge-10672649

It&#039;s important to focus on the macronutrient amounts when ensuring the health of kids; low carb and higher fat is better

Parents need to lead by example and educate kids about healthy eating--and model the eating of good foods

Most of the cause of obesity (whether child or adult) revolves around nutrition, not exercise

It&#039;s very important to check in with kids&#039; feelings in relation to their eating habits (and have discussions about their cravings)

Eating Processed Meats, but Not Unprocessed Red Meats, May Raise Risk of Heart Disease and Diabetes
 http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/news/press-releases/2010-releases/processed-meats-unprocessed-heart-disease-diabetes.html

Consuming less processed meat (and processed foods in general) is always a good rule of thumb

In this show we explore the nature of health and fitness training from an expert&#039;s perspective

Josef&#039;s fitness blog and site
 http://josefbrandenburg.com/
 http://thebodyyouwant.com

Aerobic exercise is not all it&#039;s cracked up to be, and it might be making you hungrier and thus causing binge eating

Weight and high intensity shorter training is better for health and fitness than lots of endurance exercising

Try to avoid all those crappy carbs, such as lots of bread, grains, and cereals

The priority should be minimizing your insulin secretion, even though e.g. high quality meats are better than not so much

You can&#039;t take at face value the results of studies reported by the mainstream media

Falsehoods are still being promoted in nutrition textbooks!

You don&#039;t have to starve yourself and suffer in order to lose weight; just change the types of food you&#039;re eating

Putting fat people on treadmills doesn&#039;t really help them lose their extra fat

Personal trainer certifications aren&#039;t good ways to judge knowledge and competence

Isolation exercises can fall short when it comes to overall fitness and &quot;toning&quot; muscles

Using calipers to measure bodyfat isn&#039;t very reliable; a measuring tape can be a useful device, though

Governmental &quot;officials&quot; have no business telling you what and how to eat (even though they continue to intervene)

Famous article by Gary Taubes, explaining where so much went so wrong:?http://www.nytimes.com/2002/07/07/magazine/what-if-it-s-all-been-a-big-fat-lie.html

We explore the sixth and final pillar of self esteem: integrity, a congruence between your beliefs and behaviors

The Six Pillars Of Self-Esteem by Nathaniel Branden
 http://www.nathanielbranden.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=21_23&amp;products_id=35

Super slow workouts can be quick and effective

It&#039;s critical to sketch out your values explicitly

You can&#039;t hide mistakes and missteps from yourself

The &quot;Do as I say, not as I do&quot; injunction is the ultimate example of defaulting on integrity

Hypocrisy is self invalidating

Your thoughts and values should be aligned with reality

Most people don&#039;t grow up with good messages of integrity (or self-esteem in general) from adults

A condensed way of phrasing objective morality:
&quot;Live consciously, take responsibility for your choices and actions, respect the rights of others, and follow own bliss.&quot; N.B.

Ignorance is not really bliss in these important matters

Beware the misguided &quot;authorities&quot; who seek to use the force of law to control your choices and your life

Embrace the principle of reciprocal causation--by doing things that increase your self-esteem, you&#039;re manifesting increased self-esteem

Having sub-purposes and sub-action-plans is part of the process of goal-fulfillment

There are no shortcuts to self-esteem and a fit body

Being disciplined in the right ways is key to health and fitness

The internal process of setting goals and achieving them is what truly enables achievement--and ensures self-esteem

You are not here to live up to others&#039; expectations

Living purposefully is about living happily, which includes setting reachable goals and having realistic expectations about yourself

Being assertive means respectfully honoring yourself; it doesn&#039;t mean being aggressive or belligerent

There&#039;s the &quot;take-away&quot; and then there&#039;s the &quot;follow-through,&quot; which requires acts of self-assertiveness

Self-assertiveness means actualizing your values and goals, bringing them into reality

To assert your healthy desires in the midst of a group (or family) environment requires potentially bold acts of self-assertiveness

You are not here on Earth to live up to someone else&#039;s expectations

Curiosity goes hand in hand with assertiveness

On the nutrition side of athletics, it&#039;s helpful to train lower and race higher in terms of carb consumption; keep fat as your main energy source while training

It&#039;s important to shift from saying &quot;I have to...&quot; to &quot;I choose to...&quot;; taking responsibility for your choices is key

It&#039;s unfortunately easy to accept the status quo, even though you can alter it; so, a self-responsible action plan is vital

Being happier is a main outcome of living more responsibly

No one is coming to our rescue; we must thrive as independent and healthy beings

Kids do well with low-carb, paleolithic style eating, rather than with all the junk foods that Americans are used to

Self-acceptance is something you do: the refusal to be in an adversarial relationship with yourself

The Six Pillars Of Self-Esteem by Nathaniel Branden http://www.nathanielbranden.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=21_23&amp;products_id=35

It&#039;s important to be present to the reality of your behavior, paying attention to internal signals

Accepting doesn&#039;t necessarily mean liking, enjoying, or condoning; denial leaves you stuck, whereas acceptance allows you to move on

Showing compassion for yourself is important; really feeling your feelings is crucial

Surrendering to the reality of what is, to your awareness, is the crux of self-acceptance

Self-acceptance basically means coming to terms with your emotions

If self-acceptance feels impossible, then accept your resistance, or if needed, accept your resistance to accepting your resistance

Acceptance of what is, is the precondition for change

It&#039;s crucial to turn the searchlight of consciousness inward

Not acting on what one sees and knows is not living consciously

Most human beings are unfortunately sleep-walking through their existence

Noticing and confronting impulses and seeing and correcting mistake are vital conscious practices

Not paying attention to new information excludes the possibility for growth

Having an active mind is central to living consciously

Our genes are adapted to a paleolithic lifestyle, in which high carb eating was practically nowhere in sight

The process of living consciously leads to making the best choices

Having an earnest intention to be conscious is key to self-esteem and living the good life

Others may discourage you from living consciously,  but you are ultimately responsible for lowering your awareness

It&#039;s important to pay attention to what you&#039;re doing when you particularly like yourself and when you don&#039;t

&quot;Chronic cardio&quot; is the typical prescription for the misguided high-carb/low-fat diet

Having the proper nutritional information is the biggest key to your health and fitness

Our cravings can change based on our mindset and emotional perspective

Paleolithic humans had different lifestyles depending on where they lived and their access to various foods

Nuts are great, regardless of how many of them paleolithic humans ate

Blood tests are a good indicator of whether you&#039;ve been eating properly

The Six Pillars Of Self-Esteem by Nathaniel Branden
 http://www.nathanielbranden.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=21_23&amp;products_id=35

Self-esteem is a combined sum of self-efficacy and self-respect

Feeling that you&#039;re worthy of happiness is basically a subconscious issue

Much of our bodies run on autopilot, but our minds set the course based on our ideas and feelings

Being aware and being honest with yourself assist in living with a higher level of consciousness, responsibility, and integrity

Artificial, no calorie, sweeteners don&#039;t really affect insulin levels, but they may induce carbohydrate cravings (catering to one&#039;s &quot;sweet tooth&quot;)

High endurance racing is not very healthy and detracts from longevity, because it requires higher insulin and stress hormone secretion

Shorter, high intensity workouts will benefit your body in the right way and leave you energized

Combining evolutionary biology with modern genetic science identifies the signals that turn on the right genes and turn off the bad ones

The Primal Blueprint is a comprehensive lifestyle plan, not merely a paleo eating regimen

Saturated fat is not to be feared at all (so long as it&#039;s not coupled with lots of carbs!)

Grains ought not be the foundation of your diet, contrary to popular belief

The high-carb/low-fat diet creates problems for which the &quot;solutions&quot; (lots of cardio) create further problems

Our genes depend on various environmental signals

Self-acceptance is key to achieving your optimal weight

Paleolithic humans never got obese like today, and they ate sporadically (or intermittent fasting, which fosters cellular repair)

The good aspect of calorie restriction is reduction of insulin secretion

Fruits today are not what paleolithic humans had access to; rarely did they find more than a 100 grams of carbs to consume

Corn is not good to feed to cattle or humans!

It&#039;s critical to take responsibility for one&#039;s own health, instead of rely on &quot;authorities&quot;

It&#039;s possible to train your body to derive 30% or more of calories from fat during an endurance race

Grains are cheap source of calories that readily convert to glucose (and thus fat) and they are a poor source of micronutrients

It&#039;s hard to find healthy carb substitutes, aka low-carb breads and cereals and sweets
...such foods should only be occasional supplements to your healthy eating lifestyle

Ultimately, it&#039;s important to know why you crave high-carb foods, and that requires introspection

Jimmy joined us to explore his own health and nutrition journey as well as the wisdom of the low-carb lifestyle

Anybody can lose weight, so what matters is maintaining a healthy nutrition lifestyle for the long term

Sometimes carb substitutes with quality ingredients can assist in making your low-carb lifestyle satisfying

Low cholesterol is not necessarily healthy, and high triglycerides are not healthy either--both induced from high carb/low fat eating

Living the low-carb life is actually pretty simple, once you grasp the essentials of it

Blood tests are important to get baseline readings and to monitor your health progress

For instance, the NMR lipoprofile test and the VAP (Vertical Auto Profile) test are good ones

Vitamin D test (25 Hydroxy) is also important
more good info at http://www.grassrootshealth.net/

SIP (Silent Inflammation Profile) test is another test to consider

In addition to blood glucose testing, the A1C (glycated hemoglobin) test is useful for determining your (3-month) average blood glucose levels

Proper nutrition and diet is a great start, but psychological/emotional issues also need to be addressed during one&#039;s journey to a healthy mind fit body

Regarding resistance training, try starting out with weight machines rather than the free weights; and, try a super-slow workout if you&#039;re pressed for time!

While there is some disagreement over the details of what&#039;s good for people, the essentials are pretty well understood in the low-carb community

Check out Jimmy&#039;s new book, which has a wealth of insights and stories of his journey to the truth in health and nutrition:

Eating grains isn&#039;t even necessary, so it&#039;s not just refined flours that you need to eat less of

It&#039;s best to go for whole foods, such as fruit rather than fruit juices

Be careful how many servings there are in that single container! Make sure to multiply the carbs per serving by total servings per container

Instead of getting discouraged and continuing the cycle of yo-yo dieting, stay determined and focus on your long-term health goals

Sometimes, you&#039;ll have to tweak your eating regimen in order to maintain your weight loss process; plateaus happen

You&#039;re always just one meal away from getting back in the weight loss zone!

The &quot;fat fast diet&quot; consists of a thousand calories per day, with 90 percent fat and 10 percent protein; it burns fat off the quickest, but it&#039;s certainly not something to do for very long, as it will lead to malnutrition.

The induction phase of the Atkins diet (usually lasting a couple weeks) consists of less than 20 grams of carbohydrates per day

There are vast differences between benign dietary ketosis and ketoacidosis, only the latter of which is harmful
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ketoacidosis

It&#039;s important to not let negative thoughts define you...
http://www.lowcarblindsey.com/_blog/blog/post/Words_are_Powerful!/

Focus on the things that you feel are positive about yourself and use them to strengthen your self-concept

Look to support groups on the Internet to learn new things, overcome difficulties, and help motivate you

Practicing self-acceptance helps you come to terms with your feelings about your self-image; own your feelings about how you look, in order to recognize your true beauty
The Six Pillars of Self-Esteem (the standing in front of the mirror exercise is on page 95)
http://www.nathanielbranden.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=21_23&amp;products_id=35

It&#039;s best to shop in the perimeter of the grocery store, because the inside isles contain lots of unhealthy carb foods

Even fast food can be modified to be a lot healthier (just cut back on the extra carbs, for one)

Why Do You Continue to Eat When You&#039;re Full? by Joseph Mercola http://www.lewrockwell.com/orig5/mercola29.1.html

If you get stressed out from lack of sleep, you&#039;ll have a harder time coping with cravings

Ghrelin and leptin are factors in satiety and appetite, but the mental factors are more important and have greater effect

Sentence completion exercises are extremely useful for coming to terms with one&#039;s motivations and subconscious thoughts and feelings

The key is to remedy self-conflict, so that you can achieve your goals and have a healthy, happy life!

It&#039;s important to pay attention to the eating contexts that you&#039;re putting yourself in, but ultimately you choose what to eat

Famous article by Gary Taubes:
What If It&#039;s All Been A Big Fat Lie?
http://www.nytimes.com/2002/07/07/magazine/what-if-it-s-all-been-a-big-fat-lie.html

&quot;Endocrinology 101&quot; concerns the insulin/carb factor for body fat regulation

6 Tips to Control Your Food Cravings, Part 1 http://www.amenclinics.com/blog/2611/6-tips-to-control-your-food-cravings/

A not-so-favorable review of Dr. Amen&#039;s perspective...
PBS Infomercial for Daniel Amen&#039;s Clinics
 http://www.skepdic.com/skeptimedia/skeptimedia30.html

In order to achieve your ideal weight, there&#039;s no need to focus mainly on brain chemistry and supplements to supposedly alter it

Instead, examine your choices from a psychological perspective

5 techniques for busting cravings (from Jonny Bowden&#039;s book _Living The Low Carb Life_)...

1) eat fat and protein every few hours
2) avoid any junk carbs (including lots of complex carbs)
3) never let yourself become famished; carry protein/fat snacks
4) get enough sleep!
5) learn to recognize the emotional triggers for cravings...

The practices of self-acceptance and self-healing are vital to the process of becoming integrated without persistent self-conflict

In this episode we interview the creator of the documentary film Fat Head: You&#039;ve been fed a load of bologna
 http://fathead-movie.com
 http://tomnaughton.com

Fast food may not be healthy, but most food people buy in the grocery store isn&#039;t too healthy either

Compared to paleolithic humans, we have way more access to carbs

Though self-responsibility is key, we&#039;ve all been given a lot of bad information, such as that fat is bad and abundant carbs are ok

Unfortunately, most journalists are sympathetic to regulation and taxation, which CSPI promotes, in a vain attempt to control people&#039;s choices and supposedly make the world a better place

The so-called lipid hypothesis, that eating fat raises cholesterol and causes cardiovascular disease, was flawed from the start

Rather than being objective, science is often controlled by those versed in politics; thus, a small group of people in power can have a detrimental influence on the eating habits of an entire country

Without the FDA and USDA (and their special interests), companies would have to compete in the marketplace for ensuring safe products for their customers

Cheese fried in coconut oil is not bad for you; it&#039;s actually beneficial!

Check out the fat experts from fathead:
 http://www.fathead-movie.com/index.php/meet-the-experts/

Most vegetable oils are not healthy for humans

Since fats are delicious, it&#039;s not hard to convince kids to eat them :)

Unfortunately, there&#039;s a lot of bad science out there, and bad reporting on it; confirmation bias is prevalent

Passing laws doesn&#039;t educate people; coercive, one-size-fits-all edicts don&#039;t support self-responbility and respect individual choices

2010 New Year’s Resolutions According to Women (Infographic) http://topcultured.com/womens-2010-new-years-resolutions-infrographic/

Your ultimate goal is happiness, and achieving a healthy mind/fit body is part of that process

It&#039;s important to set concrete and specific goals

Delving into your emotional world is key to resolving self-conficlt and taking responsibility for your own well-being and happiness

A healthy sex life is an important reflection of your own self-esteem and feelings, as well as respect and admiration, for another person

If everyone had a healthy mind and fit body, the world would be a much better place!

Did Americans get any healthier over past decade? http://news.aol.com/article/did-americans-get-any-healthier-over/836823?cid=14

It&#039;s amazing how much vital knowledge of health and nutrition doesn&#039;t get into the mainstream

Central planning &quot;authorities&quot; oftentimes don&#039;t have your best interests in mind; in fact, they are partially responsible for widespread obesity

Challenging rather than merely accepting what &quot;experts&quot; say is key to your well-being; and, it can reflect a higher level of self-esteem

Check out http://www.fathead-movie.com/ We&#039;ll be interviewing its creator Tom this month!

Be objective by taking into account all the available evidence about health and nutrition, and beware Nanny State tactics!

Self-assertiveness and courage can enable emotional understanding and empathy with others

The topic of eating is pretty much unavoidable

Individuation and self-esteem can help you deal with those in your social circles

How you treat your body is how you treat your emotions (and vice versa)

The first step to recovery is self-acceptance

Amy Dungan joined us from http://healthylowcarbliving.com

The insulin factor in fat gain and fat storage is often overlooked

To prevent &quot;yo-yo&quot; dieting, it&#039;s important make permanent changes to your eating lifestyle

Explore important facts and common myths
 http://healthylowcarbliving.com/myths/

Given that our culture is inundated with carbs, a &quot;low-carb&quot; diet is actually just lower carbs

Low fat/high carb diets foster hunger pains and more carb cravings

There is no real need to eat a certain amount of carbs, but your body will definitely malfunction without fat and protein

Aside from the insulin factor, gluconeogenesis explains a lot about the metabolic advantage from a low-carb diet

Make sure to eat quality foods; they may be more expensive, but you&#039;ll save physically and medically in the long run!

Focus on measuring your bodyfat percentage on occasion, rather than stepping on the weight scale every day!

Per unit volume, muscle is more dense than fat and weighs more

You can be motived while you lose weight by keeping your vision of your future self in mind (generating a new self-image and self-concept), as well as by getting positive feedback from people in your social circle

Our culture of eating not-so-good foods can pose challenges to not succumb to negative peer pressure

Eating a lower carb diet will boost your immune system--and improve your blood readings--by reducing your insulin secretion

Very educational documentary film about food and eating:
 http://fathead-movie.com/ 

The medical establishment and nutrition industry can only deny the errors of their ways for so long...

Lots of articles by Amy can be read at

Everyone deserves to be their ideal weight and live the good life

Calculating your daily caloric intake really misses the point, because it&#039;s more about types of macronutrients and eating quality food

&quot;A calorie is a calorie&quot; violates the second law of thermodynamics by Richard D Feinman and Eugene J Fine
http://www.nutritionj.com/content/3/1/9

If you hit a weight loss plateau, it&#039;s important to be keenly aware of what you&#039;re eating; drink lots of water and get proper nutrients and vitamins and minerals

The Atkins&#039; induction phase (consuming less than 20 grams of carbs/day) can move you off a frustrating fat-retaining plateau

Just because you may have a slower metabolism, doesn&#039;t mean that fat loss is out of your control!

Again, you don&#039;t need to count calories; just be aware of what you&#039;re eating

Fats are the best source of energy, and they are satiating

Lots of high carb foods generally should be avoided, as they will just lead to fat accumulation

Paleolithic humans had a dramatically different food situation, weren&#039;t aware of &quot;calories,&quot; and yet were fit and healthy
Paleo in a Nutshell Part 1: Food - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCFZoqmKf5M

Self-acceptance is key, as is awareness of and resolving your inner conflicts

Ten Worst Breakfast Cereals by Joseph Mercola

Breakfast is a necessary component to effective weight loss, but that doesn&#039;t mean cereal is good for you

Breakfast Skippers Beware. You Could Be Increasing Abdominal Fat Storage. by Paramjit Sidhu
http://correct-weight-loss.net/2009/07/06/breakfast-skippers-beware-you-could-be-sabotaging-your-weight-loss-efforts/

Various nut butters, such as almond butter, are good sources of energy

Juicing veggies is another great way to obtain vital nutrients

Eggs (preferably Omega 3 enhanced), containing fat and protein, go well with veggies and meats (yet watch out for sodium nitrite/nitrate in bacon, ham, and sausages)

Try to avoid grains, breads, and cereals (pancakes and waffles with syrup are hormonal disasters!)

Yo-yo dieting can be remedied by introspecting and dealing effectively with self-conflict

The 30 Worst Fast Food Restaurant Choices
http://features.fitnessmagazine.com/30WorstFastFoodRestaurantChoices.html

Beware big buns, which equate to excess carbs and thus fat storage

Look for fresh veggies, rather than deep fried madness (which can be loaded with free radicals)

If you need to do damage control for a bad meal, make sure you supplement with anti-oxidents

Beware a high carb to protein ratio (aim for 1 to 1)

Use nuts to obtain your good fat and energy and look for healthy salads with adequate protein

Nutrition protein bars will do in a bind much better than most fast food

Introspection is key to understanding your feelings related to cravings and eating habits

Acting like you&#039;re possessed by an eating demon or like you&#039;re a rapacious zombie is a sign of emotional self-estrangement and a lack of self-responsibility

Diet drugs are band-aides that don&#039;t deal with the root cause of bad eating habits and mental states

Nutritional misinformation and oftentimes disinformation by the so-called experts keep people unhealthy

Dealing with psychological processes rather than &quot;disease states&quot; is most helpful for weight loss and health and fitness issues

Engaging in preventative maintenance is far better than doing damage control at the doctor&#039;s office

No &quot;magic pill&quot; can substitute for psychological insight and self-reliance

What are some of your challenges with fitness and getting down to the right weight?

Unfortunately, in most restaurants the macronutrient portions are skewed in favor of bread and cereal carbs

For other animals, a lot of their time is spent eating and digesting what&#039;s been eaten

Get adequate protein, enough fat for energy, and round out the balance with veggies and some fruits

Eating lots of carbs creates a desire to eat more carbs, leading to increased body fat percentage

Snacking with fatty food, like nuts, is a good way to prevent overindulging

Portion control is about self-regulation; mindfulness is key, as is the eyeball method

Calculate your daily protein requirement based on your lean body mass (weight minus your body fat); though it depends on your activity level, typically a gram of protein per kilogram of body weight (up to a gram per pound of body weight when doing lots of weight training)

You don&#039;t have to run in order to lose weight! There are many forms of healthy exercise--and mp3 players to break the monotony

To obtain and maintain a healthy body weight, mainly focus on proper nutrition

A Few Cookies a Day to Keep the Pounds Away? by Abby Ellin
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/22/fashion/22Skin.html

Most diets are geared towards caloric restriction (based on the calorie theory of weight loss), so they lead to relapse

The &quot;fat fast&quot; diet is the fastest fat-burning regimen, but it&#039;s not good for long-term health and fitness

A &quot;low-carb diet&quot; isn&#039;t a &quot;diet&quot; per se; it&#039;s a way of eating relatively less carbs as a lifestyle

Many institutions (e.g., ADAs) keep people in a condition of unhealthiness

The unwise extremes: the fad diets and the typical high-carb (complex carb) diets

It&#039;s important to examine our self-conficts and childhood experiences with food...

Parents Can Help Their Children Grow to Love Vegetables Posted by: Dr. Mercola
http://networkedblogs.com/p15257191

Walking the walk as a parent is key; model that which you want your kids to do, rather than berating or forcing &quot;good&quot; food on them

Eat your vegetables and stay away from the cookie diet!

How Much Vitamin D Do You Really Need?
http://www.lewrockwell.com/orig5/mercola7.1.1.html

Why do people &quot;reward&quot; themselves with junk food? To be part of the group? To fit in? To not be labeled &quot;too healthy&quot;?

Individuality and independence are keys to health

Some sample sentence completion exercises

After I reward or punish myself with food, I feel...
exhausted
depressed
angry
guilty
like i didn&#039;t have to do that
that i could have made a better choice
unhealthy

Right before I indulge in my favorite bad food, I think...
I deserve this
I only eat this once in awhile
I&#039;ll really enjoy it
it&#039;ll lift my spirits
it&#039;s my way of taking care of myself
I don&#039;t think
I just do

In order to treat myself differently, it&#039;s important that I...
recognize my pattern of behavior
come to terms with my feelings
accept the feelings that I have and not disown them
learn to see how my short-term pleasure affects my long-term goals
enjoy healthy food
disfavor unhealthy food

If I were to see unhealthy eating as a way of taking care of myself...
I would see that I deserve better
I would have more compassion for my feelings
I would try to comfort myself with truly good things
I would see self-damaging behavior for what it is
I could see food as something that&#039;s good for me, rather than a guilty pleasure
I would evolve into the self that I aspire to be

There are psychological payoffs for both good and bad patterns of eating

Fat-rich foods (such as almonds) are good to snack on in order to feel satiated

Self-esteem affects (and is affected by) the way we eat; honoring yourself means not being at war with your deeper self-knowlege

Typical American diet is pretty bad, so most alternatives are better

Vegetarian/vegan camp does offer some benefits in the realm of vegetables and healthy fats

Skinny Bitch/Bastard books even make some good points, such as that we should question “authorities” (e.g., the FDA)

Eat To Live book doesn’t consider all the evidence for lower carb, higher fat, and meat protein diet

We must always beware of confirmation bias and try to falsify various claims by doing some research

Donuts rule! No, not really. ;)

Eating lots of fat along with lots of carbs is not good for you (but lots of fat is ok with less carbs)

Don’t be married to your diet ideas; question your assumptions by exploring the evidence!

How about elk for breakfast, elk for lunch, and elk for dinner?…healthy, but not very exciting (wild game meat has important amino acids and fatty acids)

Insulin is the key hormone related to fat storage and fat loss (regardless of some people’s ability to process carbs without much fat gain, due to their genes)

Mouse studies often don’t translate to humans

Myth Buster: Don’t French Women Get Fat? 
by Siobhan Roth
http://bulletin.aarp.org/yourhealth/healthyliving/articles/myth_buster_don_t_french_women_get_fat_.html

French Women Don&#039;t Get Fat
by Mireille Guilano
http://www.bestdietforme.com/dietbooks/FrenchWomenDontGetFat.htm

Key take-aways:

1) Stay hydrated

2) Practice awareness, planning, and moderation

3) The right types of snacking are good, such as nuts, which are filled with micronutrients and fat (long-term energy)

4) Eating at home makes it easier to eat the right foods

5) Be active, whether it&#039;s walking to run errands or exercising at the gym

6) However, exercise isn&#039;t the holy grail to weight loss; you must reduce intake of carbs (thus reducing your insulin secretion)

7) Consider your food and eating habits to be an esthetic experience; eat for pleasure, rather than mindlessly

8) Self-motivation and self-responsibility are essential to creating and maintaining the optimal you

9) Avoid the self-sacrificial ritual of &quot;diets&quot; (and the eventual relapse from them)

10) Be mindful of procrastination...

Procrastination...
by Stefan Molyneux

11) In order to resolve self-conflicting thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, it&#039;s vital introspect and explore your subconscious via sentence completion exercises (found in the Addendum of our book Healthy Mind, Fit Body)

Once again, too many &quot;experts&quot; are leading people astray about how to lose weight, by promoting the calorie and/or exercise theories

This show explores some of the societal and parental dynamics that exist in childhood, and how those dynamics can affect our relationship with food and eating as adults

Most Americans are leading unhealthy lives, and our experiences in childhood are precursors to experiences in adulthood

The Sudbury Valley School experience yields some insights in the root of the problem in our society--obedience to another person, a so-called &quot;authority&quot; rather than taking responsibility (http://www.sudval.org/)

1) The Prussian Model of education--dominant in America--hasn&#039;t fostered self-esteem principles in Americans

When kids are told to follow an authority figure who tells them what to do, their innate sense of self-reliance is greatly lessoned; adults tend to take away self-reliance and substitute &quot;expert opinion,&quot; which is disempowering

Learning To Trust Oneself 
by Alan White
http://tinyurl.com/o37t7h

2) Normal, healthy children are not self-destructive

3) It&#039;s important to focus on what it was like when you were a kid and how your parents treated food and related it to you

Children (or adults) don&#039;t possess innate knowledge when it comes to food...but they can naturally learn and self-regulate

4) You can live without carbs, but you can&#039;t live without protein and fat

Vegetarianism can lead to skimping on the vital macronutrients of protein and fat, unless you&#039;re an ovo-lacto vegetarian (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lacto-ovo_vegetarianism)

5) It&#039;s important to impart nutritional knowledge to your kids that&#039;s respectful of their choices; otherwise, their intrinsic motivation to take care of themselves is lessoned

6) It&#039;s vital to be aware of the messages sent by your parents about food and eating and how they can become integrated in you subconscious mind

Did your parents use various forms of punishment if you didn&#039;t eat what they wanted you to eat? Or, if you ate something they didn&#039;t want you to eat? Or, if you didn&#039;t eat at the right times or in the &quot;proper&quot; amounts?

7) If you&#039;re overweight, you need to know how to lose that excess body fat, which means eating more fat and less carbohydrates--because less insulin secretion, on account of reduced carb consumption, results in less fat stored and more fat burned off

8) Lots of exercise isn&#039;t necessary to losing your excess body fat; for sure, exercise is healthy for you, but it isn&#039;t the key to losing body fat

9) Getting in touch with your emotional perspective on eating entails self-exploration--preferably via sentence completion exercises...

The Health Mind, Fit Body book has a 7-day program to help you come to terms with your current and ideal self-image and self-concept, thereby fostering holistic integration and ending self-conflict and bad behavior patterns; it also contains a couple days focused solely on your &quot;child-self&quot;

Self-knowledge and motivation work in concert with good nutritional knowledge to help you lose excess bodyfat and attain the optimal you!

Too many &quot;experts&quot; are leading people astray about how to lose weight, by promoting the calorie and/or exercise theories

2) Exercise can be a double edged sword in regards to weight loss. It&#039;s a way to burn more calories, but exercising more can backfire, because it can increase hunger and serve as a justification for eating more (and worse)

Why Exercise Won&#039;t Make You Thin
By John Cloud
http://www.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,1914857,00.html

The self-control &#039;muscle&#039; is seen as the linchpin to weight loss via exercise

National Weight Control Registry research findings

http://www.nwcr.ws/Research/default.htm

3) The calories-in/calories-out theory of weight loss tends to lock people into a vicious cycle of continuously monitoring eating and exercising

4) Instead, focus on nutrition, which leads to the realization that insulin secretion is the key factor in weight loss and weight maintenance. Minimize carb consumption and thus increase fat and protein consumption

Fit Body, Fit Mind? Your Workout Makes You Smarter ( Preview )
How can you stay sharp into old age? It is not just a matter of winning the genetic lottery. What you do can make a difference
By Christopher Hertzog, Arthur F. Kramer, Robert S. Wilson and Ulman Lindenberger
http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=fit-body-fit-mind&amp;sc=WR_20090707

5) In terms of an overall healthy lifestyle, exercise can serve your well-being, but it&#039;s not a substitute for proper nutrition and psychological health

6) Introspection is key, especially with sentence completion exercises, which are in the Healthy MInd, Fit Body book

7) Even a &quot;greasy burrito&quot; can be healthy if you don&#039;t eat most of the flour tortilla (and add lots of salsa). Your most nutritious carbs are the ones with less glycemic load, such as leafy greens and seasonal berries

8) Sentence completion exercises help you get in better touch with your subconscious thoughts and feelings (see addendum chapter in Healthy Mind, Fit Body)

QUESTION #1: Is this a diet plan? I thought that diets didn&#8217;t
work?
Well, as explained in the book, &#8220;diets&#8221; don&#8217;t work. This is because when you view your eating lifestyle as a diet regimen that [...]]]></description>
