http://healthymindfitbody.com How The Mind/Body Connection Can Help You Achieve Your Perfect Weight Thu, 29 Jul 2010 19:53:32 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 en hourly 1 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'll be able to make much better choices that serve your long-term interests. By exploring your inner continent--your subconscious mind--you'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'll be able to heighten your motivation to create the optimal you!

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'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'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!

(duration 31:57) 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 "leaky gut" and various autoimmune problems.

(duration 23:27) We discuss a mix of things in this show, starting with my recent experience with food poisoning (wasn't pretty) and Kevin's July 4th holiday foodstuff experiences. Confidence comes with being aligned with what'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'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.

(duration 31:24) 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 "authorities"--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.

(duration: 35:41) 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 "authorities"--as well as the vast benefits of eating the proper foods to ensure health and longevity. His book "Genocide: How Your Doctor's Dietary Ignorance May Kill You!!!" 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.

It's critical to take responsibility for one's own health, instead of rely on "authorities" It'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 Mark’s Beach Sprints http://www.marksdailyapple.com/marks-beach-sprints/ bumper music "All In My Head" (Remix) - http://www.kosheen.com Feel free to rate and/or review our show on iTunes! http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=332309038 Also, please sign up - upper right corner of http://healthymindfitbody.com - to get the free bonus audio on the 3 Pillars Of Achieving Your Perfect Weight Using The Mind/Body Connection, as well as the newsletter Kevin Koskella and Wes Bertrand | Fitness Healthy Mind Fit Body Nutrition Consultants no http://healthymindfitbody.com/2010/03/08/barefoot_running/ http://healthymindfitbody.com/2010/03/08/barefoot_running/#comments Mon, 08 Mar 2010 18:58:59 +0000 Kevin http://healthymindfitbody.com/?p=528 http://healthymindfitbody.com/2010/03/08/barefoot_running/feed/ 6 http://healthymindfitbody.com/2010/03/05/exercise-your-way-to-your-perfect-body/ http://healthymindfitbody.com/2010/03/05/exercise-your-way-to-your-perfect-body/#comments Fri, 05 Mar 2010 19:41:34 +0000 Kevin http://healthymindfitbody.com/?p=524 http://healthymindfitbody.com/2010/03/05/exercise-your-way-to-your-perfect-body/feed/ 0 http://healthymindfitbody.com/2010/03/05/24-to-eat-or-not-to-eat-candy-cigarettes/ http://healthymindfitbody.com/2010/03/05/24-to-eat-or-not-to-eat-candy-cigarettes/#comments Fri, 05 Mar 2010 05:53:09 +0000 Wes http://healthymindfitbody.com/?p=520 http://healthymindfitbody.com/2010/03/05/24-to-eat-or-not-to-eat-candy-cigarettes/feed/ 0 (duration 14:39) - Paleolithic humans didn't have access to all the carbs that we do today ...they're not good for us, because our genes aren't adapted to them - Short, intense exercise is preferable to long, (duration 14:39) Paleolithic humans didn't have access to all the carbs that we do today ...they're not good for us, because our genes aren't adapted to them Short, intense exercise is preferable to long, intense (or even slightly less intense) exercise; and going barefoot is good!

Or, if you ate something they didn't want you to eat? Or, if you didn't eat at the right times or in the "proper" amounts? 7) If you'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't necessary to losing your excess body fat; for sure, exercise is healthy for you, but it isn'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 "child-self" Self-knowledge and motivation work in concert with good nutritional knowledge to help you lose excess bodyfat and attain the optimal you!

It'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't Make You Thin By John Cloud http://www.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,1914857,00.html The self-control 'muscle' 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&sc=WR_20090707 5) In terms of an overall healthy lifestyle, exercise can serve your well-being, but it'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 "greasy burrito" can be healthy if you don'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) bumper music "All in My Head" (Remix) Kosheen - http://www.kosheen.com If you like this show, please give us a rating and comment on the iTunes listing!
