Healthy Mind Fit Body http://healthymindfitbody.com How The Mind/Body Connection Can Help You Achieve Your Perfect Weight Fri, 01 Feb 2013 14:06:27 +0000 en-US 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!

hmfbpostpicIn this final episode (yes, we’re ending at the century mark), we share some of our stories abroad, such as coconuts and natural pedestrian movement in Vietnam. ;) We cover some of the highlights over the past few years, as well as some typical flawed messages from the mainstream, such as the DASH diet. Salt is not really the demon that we’ve been advised to avoid, but a rather important mineral for healthy functioning–same goes for fat; the widespread fat phobia (or phat fobia;) is terribly unfortunate. Self-knowledge via self-esteem principles and the process of connecting with feelings and needs (nonviolent communication) will enable you to really improve your health and enrich your life. Thanks for listening and for being part of our journey. Best wishes to you all, and make sure to follow your bliss. =)

]]> (duration 36:57)itunes_podcast_iconSylviaEBCIn this show we talk with nonviolent communication (NVC) trainer Sylvia about her book and experiences helping individuals relate to themselves and others in life-enriching ways. Instead of playing the blame game (which can become never-ending), NVC focuses on the quality of the connection in order to empathize and get needs met. Sometimes food can be used as a strategy to try to fulfill some other need (yet to be discovered). Mindfulness brings choice, a vital need. It’s helpful to connect compassionately with your inner voice(s) (especially your “inner critic”), so you can overcome costly strategies. In the face of demands (both inner- and outer-), we sometimes try to meet our need for autonomy in tragic ways. This presents an opportunity to bring more awareness to your inner dialogue, be best friends with yourself, and embrace better strategies.

]]> (duration 24:29)In this episode we discuss keeping healthy during such candy-laden times as Halloween. Dark chocolate and coconut shavings “toasted” in either butter or coconut oil are great alternatives. Since we live in a culture that doesn’t wholeheartedly embrace healthy lifestyles, it can be challenging to navigate social relations. Once again, nonviolent communication, which entails connecting with feelings and needs, really assists in this process with both self and others. A good nutritional rule of thumb is to aim for less than a hundred grams of carbs per day for optimal health–and make sure you get enough sound sleep! It turns out that you can eat Primal on the cheap; if you have a tight budget, it’s not necessary to get “grass-fed” meat or “organic” this or that in order to eat Primal and dramatically improve your health.

Then, we discuss how to “chew the juice,” based on Kev’s visit to a vegan/raw food meeting. While you can definitely get lots of extra micronutrients from veggies (whether juiced or not), you also need fats and animal proteins for optimal health. Olive oil is great for salads, btw. Lastly, we explore some important research on self-compassion especially regarding weight loss. Self-esteem is an overarching need that entails self-acceptance and self-compassion.

]]> (duration 41:55)With our guest Ashley Tudor, we explore the ins and outs of the splendid root known as the sweet potato, often called “yams” in grocery stores (which is a misnomer because yam is actually a different, much less nutritious species and a tuber not a root). Sweet potatoes are a helpful addition to an athlete’s dietary regimen, offering extra carbs for training without the extra fructose that comes with fruit. And contrary to popular opinion, grains are not great. It’s important to beware the harmful effects of overtraining, as well as of extra carbs, even if they’re from sweet potatoes. Benign dietary ketosis (burning fat exclusively) is fine, though as in any regimen, it’s important to pay attention to your body’s signals. Sweet potatoes can be cooked and consumed in lots of ways, not just baked (check out Ashley’s book for recipes:). It helps to quantify yourself in terms of getting baseline readings and optimizing your health; e.g., a glucometer can be a useful addition. Also, treat your body well in terms of reducing stress and maintaining a good sleep cycle.

Benign dietary ketosis (burning fat exclusively) is fine, though as in any regimen, it's important to pay attention to your body's signals. Sweet potatoes can be cooked and consumed in lots of ways, not just baked (check out Ashley's book for recipes:). It helps to quantify yourself in terms of getting baseline readings and optimizing your health; e.g., a glucometer can be a useful addition. Also, treat your body well in terms of reducing stress and maintaining a good sleep cycle.

]]> (duration 25:21)In this show we delve into the process of binging on carbs, as noted in a recent study. In an all-too-common practice, people reach for the carbs to deal with their hunger and cravings, rather than relying on healthy fat as their main energy source. The key is to keep yourself satiated with various fats such as coconut and palm and olive oils, all sorts of nuts and butters, instead of sugars and grains. Veggies and fruits are an important compliment to your fats and protein. We also discussed the nature of the “perfect” body and optimal health. Rather than pursue some unrealistic standard of perfection, have a standard based on the reality of your ideal body fat percentage and a happy mindset. Self-acceptance is key.

So, don’t skimp on them and preferably look for slightly healthier versions at farmers’ markets. In the grand scheme of weight loss, though, nearly any veggies will be beneficial (as opposed to processed foods), and there’s more need to focus on less carbs and healthy fats. More nutrients can be gotten from many vegetables when they are cooked (e.g., steamed, boiled, or microwaved).

We discuss Kevin’s return to cool SoCal from hot and humid Asia. Apparently, traveling in developing countries can be a way to lose weight, whether or not one wants to! Lots of heat, walking, and small portions can take their toll. So, getting more protein and fat (and some carbs from sweet potatoes), as well as strength training, is now on Kev’s agenda. Both weight gain and weight loss can entail self-acceptance and self-image issues. Using a feeding tube (as in the case of the “K-E Diet”) as a substitute for psychological understanding can of course be costly. Caloric restriction (w/ optimal nutrition) might have anti-aging and health benefits, yet this needs to be balanced with overall well-being and a pleasurable life. Probably our best bet for extending our life-spans involves bio-tech innovations that target the main factors in aging, such as what Aubrey de Grey proposes (http://sens.org).

In this show, we discuss the fine art of eating healthily while traveling abroad. Kevin relates his ongoing experiences in southeast Asia, where there’s hot food and hot climate! He’s noticed lots of junk food and soda that people are consuming, especially tourists. The widespread consumption of rice is probably the least harmful grain, although there’s not much nutrition in it–just extra carbs (aka, cheap filler). Coconut is once again a very healthy choice (especially the oil and milk in curry), as opposed to oh-so sweet banana pancakes! Walking and pushups and other resistance training are helpful to stay in shape while on the go.

Nonviolent communication informs us of a clear and accurate way to express our needs, so that others hear us in a way that doesn't entail misunderstanding and further frustration and conflict. In turn, individuals get connected to what's most alive in them, in terms of their feelings and needs, and they are then in a realm that enables them to enrich their and others' lives.

This show we cover a mix of things, starting with the stats on long-lived people in Japan. It turns out that many centenarians and super centenarians might not be alive! We share our thoughts about the aging process and maximizing one’s potential. Some Japanese relatives seem to be working the governmental welfare system. Speaking of “the system,” we cover some of the USDA’s newest guidelines for school lunches. Contrary to dietary dogma, dairy without fat is less healthy than dairy with fat. Consumption of dairy products may or may not be advisable; it varies across individuals (e.g., those lactose intolerant). Keep in mind that milk contains more carbs as well. Lastly, we cover a report about two rat/mouse studies showing that high-fat chow led to hypothalamic inflammation. Yet another example of research that unfortunately bolsters fat-phobia in our culture. See the purportedly non-inflammatory rat chow link below if you’re curious about its ingredients.

Strategies for Engineering Negligible Senescence is a main organization involved in solving the problem of aging. Will humans be able to not only stop the aging process, but also reverse the damage that aging has wrought? Maybe, and repair of various damage looks promising, given advances in stem cell research, gene therapy, nanomedicine, etc. Various costly mythologies in our culture, which take our focus off individual flourishing, will eventually give way to a more life-enriching, wondrous, and prosperous future for ourselves and humanity in general.

Humans are constantly using technology to change their lives, and this includes extending our lifespans and healthspans. How long would you like to live? This is the question for each of us, as innovation continues. Unfortunately, humans have typically sold themselves short in the realm of longevity. Advances in computers and their application in bioinformatics (e.g., in genomics and proteomics) will continue to prove invaluable in the quest to understand and finally deal with aging. Stem cell and nanomedical technologies will prove key as well. Extended lifespans won’t necessarily mean unsustainable populations and destroyed ecosystems, because humans can be quite resourceful beings. :)

]]> (duration 31:25)In this show we discuss the nature of the controversy about carb consumption among Paleo-style eaters in relation to health and longevity. Some have challenged the idea that Paleo is low-carb as well as the claim that insulin (via excess carbs) is the main culprit in fat gain. So, we explore the nature of insulin once again to dispel the myths surrounding macronutrient calories. The bottom line is that eating fewer grams of carbs per day–thus secreting less insulin–will have positive effects on your fat-burning as well as your long term heath. Perhaps the main misunderstanding, about for instance Gary Taubes’ insulin and fat loss claims, stems from the fact that excess carbs are necessary for fat accumulation, but sometimes not sufficient (depending on your genes). Rigorous scientific investigation is a difficult process, and confirmation bias tends to be an easy process, unfortunately. Keeping tabs on your blood readings is important, especially if you plan on doing an n=1 study on yourself. Needless to say, we’re not in favor of eating 30 bananas a day, or 20 mangos!

After discussing a recent cruise and the nature of the foods onboard, we delve into the parallel needs for self-responsibility and independent thinking in the realms of nutrition and political philosophy. Being major advocates of freedom, we discuss the nature of “government,” particularly its inherent rights-violating and propagandistic ways, which don’t serve the interests of individuals. The corporate food and nutrition industries tend to use the coercive tools of government to promote their own agendas, which aren’t so healthy for individuals either. Fortunately, health care will eventually be based on self-reliance and free market services, not a top-down, hierarchical system at odds with personal choice, property rights, and prosperity. Same goes for children’s education, where intrinsic motivation (rather than external control) is essential for growth and flourishing.

In the second half of our interview with Barry Sears, PhD, we begin by discussing the nature of “anti-nutrients,” such as lectins and phytates found primarily in grains and legumes; best to steer clear of them, at least as staples. Everything you eat will have a hormonal and inflammatory consequence. Regarding consumption of omega 3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA), adjust based on your level of inflammation–as evidenced by your arachidonic acid to EPA ratio (SIP, or Silent Inflammation Profile)–which will typically mean consuming between 6 and 10 grams of omega 3s per day. Saturated fats aren’t really the villain that the mainstream “experts” have claimed they are; omega 6 fatty acids are more inflammatory. Having a consistent balance of macronutrients is key, consuming more fat (“high octane fuel”), adequate protein, and fewer carbs than typical. Antioxidant supplements tend not to have much empirical support, although polyphenols (found in fruits and veggies) have important health benefits. It’s vital to reduce your intake of refined carbohydrates (flour and sugar or high fructose corn syrup-based products) as well as omega 6 fatty acids, while increasing your intake of omega 3s. And of course calorie restriction tends to increase longevity as well. It’s never too late to get in the zone; you’re only one meal away, after all.

This is the first half of our interview with Barry Sears, PhD, in which we discuss the nature of eicosanoids and in particular arachidonic acid in relation to metabolic health and overall health. Excessive carbohydrate consumption (which is terribly easy to do in our culture) coupled with excess omega 6 fatty acid consumption (and minimal omega 3 fatty acid consumption) tend to lead to chronic inflammation and disease states. The ratio of (long chain) arachidonic acid to (long chain) eicosapentaenoic should be around 1 to 2, but in most individuals it’s much higher, which is due primarily to unhealthy diets—diets not fashioned for our genes. Massive changes in our nutrient intake from our Paleolithic origins can deleteriously affect our levels of hormones, especially the hormones that control the inflammation process. Even if you’re thin, it’s still important to eat foods (and macronutrient ratios) that don’t contribute to insulin resistance and lipotoxicity.

This episode we discuss briefly the film Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead and the costly perspective of “living the good life” while having an unhealthy lifestyle. We don’t need to just roll the genetic (and environmental) dice in relation to health and fitness; we can take informed steps in the realm of nutrition and lifestyle in order to maximize our health and longevity. The 2011 Ancestral Health Symposium at UCLA brought together many individuals who are dedicated to human vitality and the knowledge and practices of how to ensure it. The loss of muscle mass over time (sarcopenia) can be counteracted through weight or resistance training, which can be performed up to your last year (or week) of life!

(duration 25:40) This episode we discuss briefly the film Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead and the costly perspective of "living the good life" while having an unhealthy lifestyle. We don't need to just roll the genetic (and environmental) dice in relation to health and fitness; we can take informed steps in the realm of nutrition and lifestyle in order to maximize our health and longevity. The 2011 Ancestral Health Symposium at UCLA brought together many individuals who are dedicated to human vitality and the knowledge and practices of how to ensure it. The loss of muscle mass over time (sarcopenia) can be counteracted through weight or resistance training, which can be performed up to your last year (or week) of life!

In this episode Kevin addresses a couple listener emails dealing with implementing the healthy mind fit body lifestyle. Communicating feelings and needs in a compassionate way will help get your and others’ needs met and resolve conflicts. Nutrition needs to be given priority over particular types of exercise in order to achieve fat loss, and of course “chronic cardio” is our least favorite form of training. Strength training is a great complement to your lower carb, higher fat and protein eating regimen. Try to check out this summer’s Ancestral Health Symposium in LA!

In this show we discuss the process of staying focused on your healthy lifestyle choices. It’s not a matter of using either sheer will power or “tricks” to stay on track with your dietary goals. Having a “Zen-like focus” isn’t as important as getting in touch with your feelings and needs, so that you can develop strategies for a healthy lifestyle that doesn’t conflict with your long-term goals. Instead of applying duct tape and sitting on your hands, it’s important to deal with subconscious conflict, which may be hindering you from becoming at peace with your choices and feeling good about yourself. Introspection and self-work are key!

In this show we delve into a couple listener questions regarding the transition to a healthier dietary lifestyle. What do you with your carb/junk food “cravings”? The main task involves viewing your feelings and food choices as part of your psychology, and thus within your control. For one, it’s important to find alternatives that are both healthier and just as tasty as your not-so-healthy food choices. Second, we recommend a couple powerful psychological methods (nonviolent communication and sentence completion exercises) to reorient your way of dealing with food, which will help you come to better terms with your own emotions and choices.

Our new bonus program, Defeat Your Cheat Days, entails effectively dealing with psychological patterns and altering habits acquired since childhood for meeting your needs; and this entails developing compassion for your child-self and becoming your own best friend. The 5-day sentence completion program will help you acquire the self-knowledge and motivation needed for optimal functioning in this realm. We provide more details in our email newsletter (http://freefitnessaudio.com) as well as at http://getyourperfectweight.com

This is the second half of our interview with psychologist Guy Winch, author of a new book titled, “The Squeaky Wheel: Complaining the Right Way to Get Results, Improve Your Relationships and Enhance Self-Esteem.” We start off by discussing effective complaining, which includes the components of the “complaint sandwich.” This includes the ear-opener, the content, and the digestive. Starting with something pleasant is important, because it creates a genuine connection. The content of the complaint should be only about one specific incident, without any criticism (no global assessments or impugning of character). The digestive entails a request that invokes resolution in a positive way, thus maintaining the connection.

Research shows that men need to focus on maintaining eye contact and women need to match the communication flow, so that more effective complaining can happen between couples. Constant complaining entails a theme of victimization, as the person seeks sympathy. Criticism (such as accusations, generalizations, and character slams) can be dealt with effectively, i.e., turned into valid complaints, by not taking things personally, and instead focusing on specifics that can be resolved. Parents need to step off the “demand/withdraw Merry-go-round” with their tweens/teens, by maintaining a flow of mutual interest and sharing, coupled with complaint sandwiches. Taking charge of getting your needs met through effective complaining enables your health and wellness and fosters better interactions in your personal life and in the marketplace.

This is the first half of our interview with psychologist Guy Winch, author of a new book titled, “The Squeaky Wheel: Complaining the Right Way to Get Results, Improve Your Relationships and Enhance Self-Esteem.” We explore the various psychological aspects of complaining. Going on rants and venting to others who aren’t in a position to resolve our complaints may be emotionally useful at times, yet they and things like “complaints choirs” tend to fall short of effective complaining.

Attitudes of helplessness, hopelessness, and pessimism practically guarantee ineffective complaining, while thinking optimistically, and especially addressing the proper person, practically guarantee getting your complaints resolved. Being persistent and methodical helps a great deal in the complaining process too. Excessive complaining, however ineffective, tends to reflect a victimized mindset that reinforces itself and fosters feelings of disempowerment and defeat. Hostility, blaming, and criticism usually generate defensiveness in the other person and represent ineffective complaining–whereas showing empathy, understanding the other person’s context, as well as reframing your own emotional state, represent effective complaining.

This show we covered some listener emails. The first dealt with the topic of fiber; do we need it and can we get enough in our diet. Adequate amounts of insoluble and soluble fiber can be found vegetables (such as broccoli and cauliflower), fruits (such as berries), and nuts. Another listener related vast improvements in many aspects of her health and a renewed zest for staying fit (having stepped off the calorie-counting and exercise deadmill). The last email noted the junk food ills of the public school system; a lack of nutrients and an overabundance of carbs don’t help kids’ physical and mental conditions. Thanks for writing, everyone! Stay tuned for an upcoming helpful addition to our hmfb package as well as another interview for the next show.

]]> (duration 23:53)This is part two of our two-part interview with author Diana Spechler, author of Skinny, her latest novel. We pick up our discussion regarding body image issues, particularly being dissociated from certain feelings and disconnected from the process of binging. Increasing your awareness is a necessary but not sufficient condition for moderating your eating. Having nutritional knowledge is vital, as is motivation to treat your body as your temple. We also discuss some letters “To fat people” in the book. Becoming comfortable with being overweight yet being advised to exercise more and eat the same foods that made you overweight (just smaller portions) indeed reflect our confusing food culture. Secreting less insulin by eating fewer grams of carbs daily enables your fat stores to be metabolized. Hunger and desire oftentimes pose motivation challenges, in which issues of control and self-control arise.

This is part one of our two-part interview with author Diana Spechler, author of Skinny, her latest novel. We begin by discussing the nature of body image issues. As we noted a couple shows ago, various psychological patterns can be found on bodyconfession.com, one of Diana’s sites. Mental inertia can be self-sabotaging, of course, so self-acceptance (owning various disowned parts of yourself) is key to understanding where you are and getting to where you want to be. Intergenerational transfer of eating patterns from parents (and extended family) to children is common, and one solution is to stock your shelves with healthy choices. “Fat camps” seem to be quick fixes and typically offer programs that are based on calorie-counting rather than a healthy mental perspective on foods and taking into account the insulin factor in weight gain/loss. Articulating and understanding our emotions is another key to developing a healthy self-concept and beneficial eating habits.

In this episode we explore the topic of sex, specifically its health benefits, both physically and mentally. Hormones such as oxytocin and DHEA are fostered in the process. Immune and longevity benefits are also noted. It’s important that sex be integrated with the mental side of things for optimal benefits to be derived. Sharing your sexuality with someone you value can bring about the fulfillment of other needs, such as romantic love. Thus, psychological visibility (reflecting your values) becomes a main factor in seeing sex as spectacular and an important component of the happiness of which you are worthy. Sex can evoke powerful emotions, of course, which can result in cultural mores proscribing and prohibiting its expression (and even discussion), which doesn’t help kids understand and develop a healthy view of human sexuality. Going low-carb/Paleo may augment your sex drive, as will fitness/strength training.

In this show we discuss  various psychological patterns in body image issues found on bodyconfession.com, a new site by Diana Spechler, whom we’ll be interviewing in a few weeks about her upcoming novel. Body image is affected adversely by comparison contests in your mind. Self-acceptance–i.e., owning those disowned parts of yourself–is key, as is correct nutritional and fitness information. For instance, cravings for sweets can be dealt with by eating a piece of dark chocolate or healthy fruit and even adding stevia, rather than eating cupcakes (or name your high-carb poison). To cultivate trust in being able to treat your body well is to also honor your self-worth, actualizing your potential as an expressive, joyful, and playful person. Also, if you examine your feelings as stemming from unmet needs, you can devise life-enriching strategies to get all your needs met. Ultimately, “Nothing tastes as good as feeling good about yourself.” :)

While Dr. Oz tends to promote the mainstream dogma about diet and exercise, Taubes was able to provide the evidence-based viewpoint that he writes about in his informative books and articles. Ultimately, being invested in the nutritional status quo can foster straw-man arguments that keep one locked in a position that’s not so life-enriching.

]]> (duration 24:12)This show we start out with a discussion of natural movement from my recent hiking experiences, and then we delve into an article by SciAm about behaviors that do and don’t contribute to weight loss. It’s important to find foods that are tasty substitutes for the not-so-healthy foods we typically grew up eating; that way, counterproductive “cheat days” become less attractive. As far as making your healthy changes stick, getting support from others can be helpful, yet the task of developing more inner awareness is always an individual affair. And this entails resolving emotional conflicts and aligning your present behaviors with your long-term goals. Once again, optimal health is achieved through the mind/body integration process.

(duration 24:12)This show we start out with a discussion of natural movement from my recent hiking experiences, and then we delve into an article by SciAm about behaviors that do and don't contribute to weight loss. It's important to find foods that are tasty substitutes for the not-so-healthy foods we typically grew up eating; that way, counterproductive "cheat days" become less attractive. As far as making your healthy changes stick, getting support from others can be helpful, yet the task of developing more inner awareness is always an individual affair. And this entails resolving emotional conflicts and aligning your present behaviors with your long-term goals. Once again, optimal health is achieved through the mind/body integration process.

In this show we discuss some of my new experiences in the Land Down Under and then touch on the six pillars of self-esteem by psychologist Nathaniel Branden. We address some of the six pillars, particularly in relation to a listener’s email, which shares her healthy mind fit body experiences amidst a culture that is not so inclined to health and fitness. Ultimately, the best way to inspire others is to present an example of optimal functioning to others and thus pique their interest about the process of achieving a healthy mind and fit body.

In this show we discuss the nature of the HCG diet, why it’s a fad and what the scientific research says. Rather than going the quick-fix route, which in this case entails eating only 500 calories a day, go for what’s really healthy for you in the long term. You can’t go wrong with Paleo (no grains, legumes, and dairy), but any significant reduction in carb consumption (and corresponding increase in fat consumption) will have positive effects on fat loss and your blood readings. What’s beneficial for you (not excess carbs) should be in line with your long term values of health, vitality, and longevity.

We address the psychological topic of dealing with mental and behavioral changes, especially in relation to those who don’t want to give up their favorite comfort foods, which are typically some form of unhealthy carbs. We explore our newsletter post covering this topic, as well as a listener’s response to it, who relates her stories about dealing with the unhealthy eating habits of her patients and co-workers at a hospital. We read some choice quotes from a motivational book titled As A Man Thinketh by James Allen, which was written over a hundred years ago. Become a “master gardener” of your own mind; understand your own power to change your life course and make firm commitments to lifestyle changes. Also, it’s extremely helpful to compassionately connect with feelings and needs in relation to making changes. For instance, when someone is feeling fearful or reticent or dismissive of a healthy message, acknowledge those feelings and understand various unmet needs that might give rise to them, via nonviolent communication. This will tend to dissolve antagonism and place the focus on what truly matters, which is adopting life-enriching strategies to get one’s needs met.

Motivation is key, especially determining what you’re going for (or what you’re chasing), putting your goals into perspective; just showing up for a workout may be a good goal initially. And, for those concerned with getting the family on board with Paleo foods, with the various Paleo recipes that Sarah presents, kids will leave very few left-overs! It’s vital to keep your priorities in line to ensure a happy life as well as practicing honesty with yourself and others. Also, restaurant eating can be done selectively, though not recommended for everyday healthy eating. Btw, the ultimate Paleo kitchen instrument is the pressure cooker!

In this show, we explore some expert opinions from the mainstream about the ills of carbs, which indicate that the high-carb/low-fat diet dogma is starting to be dispelled. Yet the notion that there are “good” and “bad” carbs still persists, such as whole grains (allegedly good) and refined grains (allegedly bad). Actually, lower amounts of carbs from fruits and veggies are much more nutritious than carbs from grains, breads and cereals (not to mention from sweets). Artificial sweeteners are better than sugary sweeteners, but beware habitually consuming “candy cigarettes.” Make sure not to overdo the carbs with dried fruit too.

In this second half of our discussion of the role insulin plays in fat storage, we cover the last two posts on the weightology.net blog that dispute insulin’s role. Guest Stephanie Murphy again joins us to explore some more of the biochemistry involved, including cell glucose channels and receptors. One of the main controversies seems to be whether insulin is mostly inhibitory or excitatory in nature; we side with the latter, i.e., that insulin is mostly a fat storage hormone (resulting from excess carb consumption). Additionally, insulin adversely affects blood lipid levels, among other systemic issues. Trying to lose weight in the way most “authorities” in the mainstream recommend (low fat/ high carb) is an uphill battle, physically (hormonally) and psychologically. We again conclude that relatively high insulin secretion is detrimental not only to body fat accumulation (for most people), but also to overall health and longevity.

In this show, guest and friend Stephanie Murphy joins us to address a series of posts on the weightology.net blog that dispute the insulin factor in weight management. Stephanie’s academic background is in biochemistry and she’s currently in the midst of her MD/PhD program at Dartmouth. In this first half of our discussion, we explore the nature of insulin and glucose metabolism. Contrary to weightology.net’s claims, relatively high insulin secretion is detrimental not only to body fat accumulation (for most people), but also to overall health and longevity. A high carb eating regimen causes relatively more insulin secretion, which tends to suppress the immune system and contribute to a cascade of hormonal changes involving inflammation–thus, a higher risk of chronic diseases.

Beware the marshmallow toppings and all the other sweets, which can really throw off your carbs-to-protein and fat ratios. As during the rest of the year, you want to be burning fat for energy, not carbs. Eating mindfully is one major key to this process, particularly in social situations with not-so-encouraging or knowledgeable influences.

In this show, we follow up with last week’s episode discussing the junk food diet and calories. We also explore excessive calorie consumption in relation to Adam, the host of Man v. Food on the Travel Channel. Needless to say, “getting the t-shirt” takes a toll on the body. Did paleo humans eat low-carb? By today’s SAD (Standard American Diet) standards, yes, even though some ate moderate carb diets (~40% of calories). So, should we go on a snack-food diet in order to prove it’s bad effects? We conclude no, as we address a listener’s points, one of which was for us to increase our caloric intake to see if we’d gain body fat and adversely affect blood readings. Fortunately, such studies have been done (clinical and controlled, not just anecdotal), showing the beneficial effects of what Atkins noted as “metabolic advantage.” In other words, as long as your insulin secretion remains low (as a result of eating low carb), increasing fat intake will typically not cause increases in body fat. The same can’t be said for most people who increase their carb intake, since those extra carbs will tend to be stored as fat and kept there, courtesy of insulin.

]]> (duration 27:26)

In this show, we discuss the controversy over the so-called junk food (or twinkie or snack-cake) diet done by Mark Haub, a professor of human nutrition at Kansas State University. What looms large in this news item is the calorie theory of weight loss, which has been invalidated by the clinical and empirical evidence, yet it continues to be promoted as the primary way to understand weight loss. We suspect Haub lost weight and his blood lipid profiles improved because he lowered his carbohydrate intake, not because he lowered his caloric intake per se. (As science journalist Gary Taubes noted in his very well-researched book Good Calories Bad Calories, the hormone insulin is the main factor in obesity and weight loss.) Also, it’s vital to note that Haub’s health could have been improved considerably more by eating in a low-carb/paleo/primal way, thus lowering his blood insulin levels, than by consuming junk food. So, should we go on a snack-food diet in order to prove it’s bad effects? ;) While we don’t recommend it for anyone who’s concerned about their health, at some point better nutritional information will generate a demand for better food choices in the marketplace.

(duration 27:26) In this show, we discuss the controversy over the so-called junk food (or twinkie or snack-cake) diet done by Mark Haub, a professor of human nutrition at Kansas State University. What looms large in this news item is the calorie theory of weight loss, which has been invalidated by the clinical and empirical evidence, yet it continues to be promoted as the primary way to understand weight loss. We suspect Haub lost weight and his blood lipid profiles improved because he lowered his carbohydrate intake, not because he lowered his caloric intake per se. (As science journalist Gary Taubes noted in his very well-researched book Good Calories Bad Calories, the hormone insulin is the main factor in obesity and weight loss.) Also, it's vital to note that Haub's health could have been improved considerably more by eating in a low-carb/paleo/primal way, thus lowering his blood insulin levels, than by consuming junk food.

In this episode, Kevin interviews fitness enthusiast and trainer Keith Norris, and they discuss the motivational aspects of peak performance and many of the finer points of maintaining a fit body and healthy lifestyle. For example, in order to ensure that you get your workouts, train in the morning or schedule an appointed time, which you’ll be less likely to let slide. Keith’s idea of “Physical Culture high life” entails realizing and experiencing the positive mental components and mind/body integration benefits of physical training, such as high intensity interval workouts. The ability to focus and the ability to apply intensity are two keys to fitness psychology (“brief, brutal, and basic,” as Keith says). Learning to “listen to your body” is also an important aspect of your overall wellness. Our knowledge of exercise science is ever-expanding, and implementing reasonable rules of thumb instead of meticulously calculating things helps to keep everything in perspective and serve your well-being. You are “an experiment of one,” so make sure to question “authorities” and be the scientist of your own body.

In this show we discuss a couple news items dealing with what paleolithic humans ate and what this means for low-carb eating, or not. Regardless of what group ate what particular foods, in the weight loss journey it’s key to recognize the role that insulin plays in fat storage. We also address an email concerning the nature of carbs and endurance training, as well as potential difficulties in gaining support for the low-carb lifestyle from those close to us. In the process of resolving disputes about diet and food, “nonviolent communication” strategies are amazingly beneficial, which focus on feelings and needs and win/win scenarios that ensure that everyone’s needs get met.

In this show we discuss the nature of having “rigid” rules for eating. Is there a downside to eating healthily all the time? Further, are there any upsides to not caring much about what you’re consuming? We explore whether healthy eating might become an “obsession” for some and why some view it as pathological. What matters, of course, is what foods you focus on as staples, so there is no need to be overly strict. Your relationship to things that aren’t so healthy, such as “junk food,” also needs attention. Clearly, having the right nutritional info is key in this process, which will help you become more in harmony with your food choices, and they’ll come more naturally. Also, the psychological process of overcoming habits that aren’t so healthy and that may be causing disruption in your life is crucial–so that you can be at peace with yourself.

In this show we discuss weight scales, heart monitors, and robots that are being used in the health community. Should we turn to technology to help us with our weight loss or fitness goals? Well, it’s important to measure body fat on occasion rather than stepping on the scale frequently. And unless you’re super competitive, heart rate monitors cater to the misguided fitness notion of chronic cardio; instead, do more natural movements, strength training, and high intensity bursts of exercise, such as sprints. Beware the “cheat day” cycle and focus on healthy replacements. The future might look bright for AI software that can assist people mentally and physically. Now, what does it take to maintain the healthy mind fit body lifestyle? We explore they psychological side of this issue via a comment on our last podcast. Self-acceptance is key, as is self-awareness of subconscious thoughts and feelings, in order to become more integrated and focused on your own integrity with healthy processes.
