![]() Controlling the Dawn Phenomenon - Diabetes Developments. One of our most stubborn challenges is to control the dawn phenomenon. That’s when our fasting blood glucose readings in the morning are higher than when we went to bed. The dawn phenomenon is a normal physiological process where certain hormones in our body work to raise blood glucose levels before we wake up, as we wrote in The New Glucose Revolution: What Makes My Blood Glucose Go Up? Professor Jennie Brand- Miller of the University of Sydney, Kaye Foster- Powell, and I co- authored that book (Marlowe & Co., first edition 2. American edition 2. These so- called counter- regulatory hormones, including glucagon, epinephrine, growth hormone, and cortisol, work against the action of insulin. They stimulate glucose release from the liver and inhibit glucose utilization throughout the body. The result is an increase in blood glucose levels, ensuring a supply of fuel in anticipation of the wakening body. ![]() Your blood glucose will rise if you didn. That much was clear when our book came out. But how to control it was a different story. A couple of years ago here I wrote about several efforts for .

I have been on Byetta for a year now and have lost 3. This makes sense, because several studies in the professional literature clearly show that vinegar can reduce our blood glucose levels. One of these studies, by Dr. Carol Johnston and two associates in the department of nutrition at Arizona State University in Mesa, Arizona, is particularly intriguing. Johnston and an associate have zeroed in on using vinegar to control the dawn phenomenon. These people kept 2. They took either 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar or water at bedtime with 1 ounce of cheese (8 grams of protein, 1 gram of carbohydrate, and 1. The result was that when they took the vinegar, they cut their fasting blood glucose by about 5 mg/dl (0. That was twice as much as what the placebo group did. And when Dr. Johnston and her associate took a closer look at the data, they found that the vinegar treatment was particularly effective for those people who had a typical fasting blood glucose level of more than 1. Vinegar helped this group reduce their fasting blood glucose by 6 percent compared with a reduction of 0. It might not have been just the vinegar that was at work, the authors concluded. Cheese might have a synergestic effect with it. Nobody knows yet, and taking it with the vinegar could be a good idea, especially since it makes the vinegar more palatable. But .

Random finding (plus pi) - The best part of parenting (so far)? Helping your kids overcome things you struggled with. It’s at least in the top 5. Last Saturday my daughter came home from dance class—something she normally loves—and seemed upset. A bit of prodding led to the cause: a girl in her dance class told her she was “as fat as a hippopotamus.” My first reaction (note to self: probably not the right one) was to laugh out loud, given that my daughter is probably in the 1. I’m worried she’s too skinny! Of course I realized quickly the “facts” were irrelevant in this case. Her body habitus was moot. But her feelings were hurt, and as we all know this wouldn’t be last time someone said something to her—true or untrue—that would hurt her feelings. She was shocked, “Like what, daddy?” I gave example after example. She was amazed—and relieved, I suspect—to know that she wasn’t alone and that I was able to shrug it off after temporarily being upset by it. I even told her about folks posting videos on You. Tube specifically attacking me. So, when our little talk was over she asked if she could see one of the videos I alluded to. I was a bit hesitant, if only for some of the language used when folks rant against my existence (if she’s going to learn choice 4- letter words in earnest, it should be from me after all), but I figured it was a good idea. She could actually see for herself that people say mean things about her dad and he’s still, more or less, ok. Which brings me to the point of this quasi- post. Even if you watched the earlier version of the talk, if you find this question interesting—what is the case for restricting saturated fat (SFA) intake—it’s worth watching this version. I find this particular topic especially interesting because I think it highlights the challenge we all have, myself included, in setting aside bias when confronted with new information. What do I mean by that (i. Certainly in this presentation I try to make the case that the continually falling recommendations for SFA—from 1. In fact, such recommendations likely do harm, courtesy of the “substitution effect,” i. PUFA)—that likely cause greater metabolic derangement. However, some readers may interpret the data I present to mean it’s perfectly safe to consume, say, 2. SFA. I realize I may have to turn in my keto- club card, but I am convinced that a subset of the population—I don’t know how large or small, because my “N” is too small—are not better served by mainlining SFA, even in the complete absence of carbohydrates (i. This leads me to believe some people are not genetically equipped to thrive in prolonged nutritional ketosis. In one particularly interesting case, a patient in self- prescribed nutritional ketosis presented to me with an LDL- P of more than 3. L (i. e., more particles than could be measured by the NMR machine so the report simply said “> 3,5. L”) despite feeling, performing, and looking great. Based on his through- the- roof desmosterol and cholanstanol levels, and a curb- side consult from the Godfather I mean Dr. Tom Dayspring, I decided to try an experiment. You see, the logical thing to do in this setting would have been to start two drugs immediately (a potent statin to address the hypersynthesis and ezetimibe to address the hyperabsorption) or tell him to abandon ketosis altogether. But this patient was adamant about staying in ketosis given the other benefits, though obviously worried about the long- term coronary implications. So, we agreed that for a 3 month trial period he would reduce SFA to an average of 2. Parenthetically, we also reduced his omega- 3 PUFA given very high RBC EPA and DHA levels. So, on balance, he consumed about the same number of calories and even total quantity of fat, but his distribution of fat intake changed and he heavily swapped out SFA for MUFA. The result? His LDL- P fell from > 3,5. L to about 1,3. 00 nmol/L (about 5. CRP fell from 2. 9 mg/L to < 0. L (and for the lipoprotein cognoscenti, both desmosterol and cholanstanol fell). Pretty cool, huh? So, my point is this: while I believe the population- based guidelines for SFA are not supported by a standard of science I consider acceptable, it does not imply I believe SFA is uniformly safe at all levels for all individuals. Some of you may be wondering about me. It turns out I’m in the group (recall: I have no idea how large or small this group is) that seems to do well—at least by the tools we have available to assess risk—with large amounts of SFA in my diet, if and when I elect to. Even when I was in ketosis, eating 4,0. SFA alone) my biomarkers—cardiovascular, insulin resistance, inflammation—were excellent. Better than they ever were or even are today. Though, my point still stands: there are some people who do not appear able to safely consume massive amounts of SFA. One last point I’ll make on this highly charged topic. I realize there is a contingent within the LCHF community who argue that traditional biomarkers of coronary risk—such as LDL- C or its superior cousin LDL- P—“don’t matter” if one is on a low carb or ketogenic diet. I guess time will tell. But I am not convinced, at least not yet. So if you’re following such a diet, and your LDL- P goes through the roof, I’d urge you to consider a variation of the diet.(Note: If you post your NMR results, please understand I will not comment on them.)This presentation has nothing to do with nutrition but is, nevertheless, a topic I’m pretty obsessed with: how do we achieve cost containment on healthcare in the United States? Most problems that have been heavily politicized suffer a common problem: they fail to distinguish between what is desirable in a resource unconstrained world (e.

For the past three weeks, I’ve been on what you could call a “clean” diet, but it was far from strict, low calorie or low carb - it was more like a “pre- diet diet”. You can see my 1. July 2nd. After an “official” weigh- in today and an un- official body fat test, it’s definitely time to tighten things up. The earliest record of vegetarianism comes from Indus Valley Civilization The Author Practices What He Preaches And Shows How He Uses His Own Fat Burning Diet System For Bodybuilding And Competition Diets. After reading my letter on the. What is a low carb diet, really? When can a low carb diet be beneficial? Should everyone follow a low carb diet? Or, can a low carb diet ruin your health? ![]() The Rapid Fat Loss Handbook A Scientific Approach to Crash Dieting. Package Includes: The Rapid Fat Loss Handbook: 93 pages Home Exercise Handbook (PDF). Should You Eat The Whole Egg Or Just The Egg Whites. Here's a question that just came in from a Burn The Fat Newsletter subscriber about whole eggs versus egg whites. Here’s what’s changed. I will now begin carb cycling with medium carb days of 2. The carbs will probably go even lower (1. Note: 1. 50 grams is a very low carb diet for me. You wouldn’t like me when I eat less carbs than that : ) My early day meals will contain the starchy carbs (mainly oatmeal and yams, sometimes white potatoes or rice, especially after workouts), and my late day meals will contain the fibrous carbs (green veggies & salad veggies), with the essential fats. Protein stays constant in every meal. I’ve bumped up my essential oil supplement to two tablespoons a day in conjunction with the drop in carbs. If I feel like it, I’ll substitute 1 of the tablespoons of oil for natural peanut butter instead (why? Because it keeps the dietary. I need it and tastes damn good when you’re on a diet!) I know some bodybuilders who use cream for their pre- contest fat instead. That can make a nice protein shake if you mix it with protein powder, but I use whole foods over shakes most of the time (go figure. I also get some fat. I eat red meat once every day. The rest of the fat is incidental in my chicken breasts, oatmeal, etc. Whatever works for you. In any case, you want to keep *some* fat in the diet, and the lower your carbs go, the more fat you can eat, within reason. I do NOT like ketogenic diets (close to zero carb, or very low carb/high fat). In fact, I think they suck. I’m not saying they won’t or can’t get you ripped, I’m just saying in my opinion, I think they suck for hard training bodybuilders. Adaptation to low carbs and. You can sometimes remedy the energy problems by taking the fats way up, but I find that a diet over 2. I prefer a cyclical low carb diet with very high protein (for healthy bodybuilders!!! I would not advise copying my precontest diet for general weight loss purposes. When you’re training hard and doing cardio, believe me 2. I’ll undoubtedly be headed soon), is very low. I just can’t understand why anyone would want to drop to 1. Right now my carb cycle is 3 days medium carbs (2. This is still not that strict, it’s only the first adjustment. Here’s the “medium carb days” where I will be 6 out of every 8 days. That’s down another pound since last week. This was wearing only a t- shirt and sweatpants, no shoes. I unfortunately haven’t had anyone around to take my body fat with the Skyndex (4- site digital body fat skinfold caliper), although there are some trainers at our club that will volunteer for me. I would normally have Richie measure me, as it’s important to have a skilled tester for consistent measurements, but I haven’t been able to connect with him as often as I’d like. So what I did instead this week was to break out my Accu measure caliper. I often recommend the Accu- measure for other people, but for me it doesn’t offer as much precision as I need. Only measuring one skinfold site (iliac crest) doesn’t work well for a bodybuilder who is shooting for low single digit body fat, because some of the. I find that once my iliac crest is down to 2mm or so in thickness, I still have fat in other areas that could be measured with a multi site test, but at this point, the Accu- measure has “bottomed out.” You might see a 1. Anyway, just for kicks, I measured my iliac crest with the Accu measure and it was 6. If I use the age categories on the accu measure skinfold interpretation chart (I’m 3. Which would be quite high (for a bodybuilder at this point). I would put myself closer to 8% if I had to guess! For example, if I were to use the age 2. Body composition testing is obviously not an exact science. Usually the best bet is to pick one method, use the same tester every time and stick with them for consistency. Next week, hopefully, I’ll get measured accurately with a 4- site test and I’ll log in the results consistently every week after that. But for whatever it’s worth, I know my self- tested iliac crest skinfold is 6 mm, so I do have lots of work to do to get that sucker down to 2 mm or less! Honestly, I don’t really need to test body fat anymore. After 2. 6 competitions, I know exactly when I’m ready by looking in the mirror. I can even tell if I’m getting leaner just by pinching the skin on my abs and waistline with my fingers. The goal is to have what I call “Saran wrap” skin. That is, the skin is so thin that it almost appears translucent and literally “clings” to the muscles underneath. If you pull it away from the abdominal muscles, it literally snaps right back! I’m still keeping my cardio at one session a day, usually 3. I went 3. 5 minutes on the stairmaster 4. PT, level 7 and level 8 at the end, and that was good for burning 5. Was drenched in sweat after that one! That was steady, by the way, not interval. Which burns more fat??? Did I mention, DUH!!!????). Until next time, train hard, eat right and forget about those silly zero carb diets. If you want to know more about my carbohydrate cycling method, go get a copy of my ebook, Burn The Fat, Feed the Muscle Check out chapter 1. After reading that, you will be an expert at carb manipulation for getting as ripped as you want to be! The carb cycling method I explain in my book is really the most sensible and intelligent way to do low carb, in my opinion. Pre Contest Diet Changes 1. Weeks Out. Tom Venuto. Friday, July 2. 9th, 2. Things are on schedule and looking good. I weigh 1. 96 lbs today. I’ve been losing weight slowly, but that’s intentional as I’ve been known to lose too quickly in the past and come in shredded but flat and kind of “stringy- looking.” Gotta keep the size and thickness, but over the next few weeks I definitely need to kick the fat loss up a notch, so I’ve made a few adjustments (slight decrease in calories and carbs on low days.)My new carb cycle is 3 days low carbs (approx 2. This is my second adjustment (downward) in carbs so far. I’m not a really low carb kind of guy, I prefer moderate reduction in carbs and a lot of cardio. That’s what works best for me and my body type. When I go very low in the carbs, I completely “deflate” and look flat. For me, 2. 00 grams IS low carbs, and 1. VERY low carbs (and is about the lowest I’ll go). Even on very very low carbs, I don’t seem to get lean without a lot of cardio. My body simply responds to the cardio more than carbohydrate manipulation. I know some people are the reverse (cut carbs and don’t do much cardio), so it’s important to understand your own body and how it responds. There’s no doubt - I DO get leaner with as reduction in carbs, just not a severe reduction. As of earlier this week, the diet now looks something like this: Meal 1: 6: 4. Meal 2: 9: 3. 0 am. Meal 3: 1. 2: 3. 0 pm. Meal 4: 3: 0. 0 pm. Meal 5: 5: 3. 0 pm. Meal 6: 8: 0. 0 pm. Alaskan salmon. 8 oz asparagus 1 tbsl udos oil or flaxseed oil. My high days are the same as before (LOVE those high days: 3. I’ve decreased my oatmeal from 1 cup to 3/4 cup, and decreased the size of the yam (I weigh the yam before cooking to make sure it’s exact). I don’t weigh my food year- round, but before contests, I want to know my carb intake to the gram. You’ll notice that the basic structure of my low carb days is that the first three meals are protein and starchy carb (high carb) meals, and the last three meals are protein, fibrous carb and fat meals (fat from beef, natural peanut butter or udos oil/flaxseed oil). It’s important to keep some fats in the diet as the carbs go lower. I’ve found that approx 2. Higher fat diets don’t seem to do much else for me. I was hungry a few weeks ago when I first shifted from the off season diet to lower carbs, but since I’ve cut the carbs and calories again, oddly enough, I haven’t really been hungry. So far, I’m actually eating more than in previous years and still getting leaner. I’m not concerned with getting lean enough; I can always come in shredded, no problem. The challenge is to come in shredded and FULL. I’ve been looking a little flat by the 3rd day of low carbs (even “medium” carbs), and the pumps haven’t been as good as they could be, but I suppose that’s to be expected. I’ll be keeping an eye on my condition and it I’m perpetually flat and I feel like I’m losing size after being on 2. I’ll probably take 2 high carb days rather than one, or pull back on the cardio a bit. When I started several weeks ago, I immediately began with 3. I’m now doing 4. 5 minutes of cardio, 7 days a week, at moderate to moderately high intensity. I’ve been using the stairmaster for half of my cardio sessions and the lifecycle for the other half. Why Weight Watchers is actually a low carb diet - Invariably I get asked the question, “If carbohydrates are so bad, why did . Obviously, this is an important question and a pretty complex one. There are several layers to this and, frankly, there are some things we can’t fully explain – I’ll always acknowledge this. That said, many of the successes (at least weight- wise, though hopefully by now you realize there is much more to health than just body composition) of popular diets can be explained by a few simple observations. Above is a list of this year’s most “popular” diets, according to Consumer Reports. Popularity, of course, was determined by a number of factors, including compliance with current government recommendations (sorry Atkins), number of people who have tried the diet, and reported success on the diets. So it’s actually quite misleading when the report says it’s reporting on the “most effective diets.”Keep in mind the average American (i. NHANES to USDA will give slightly different numbers for this, but this range is about correct), of which about 4. You can argue that those who are overweight probably consume an even greater amount of carbohydrates. But for the purpose of simplicity, let’s assume even the folks who go on these diets are consuming the national average of approximately 4. Take a look again at the figure below, which shows you how many calories folks are consuming on each diet and, more importantly, where those calories come from. In other words, these numbers could actually be wrong, but it’s what we’ve got for now. Even the Ornish diet, which is the most restrictive diet with respect to fat and most liberal with respect to carbohydrates, still reduces carbohydrate intake by about 4. The reason, I believe, most of these diets have some efficacy – at least in the short- term – is that they all reduce sugar and highly refined carbohydrate intake, either explicitly or implicitly. No one on the Ornish Diet or Jenny Craig Diet is eating candy bars and potato chips, at least not if they are adhering to it. Hence, these diet plans do “clean up” the eating habits of most folks. Someone made a great point in response to my post on why fruits and vegetables are not actually necessary for good health. The point was, essentially, that telling people to eat 5- 6 servings per day of fruits and vegetables can hopefully drive a beneficial substitution effect. If you tell someone who eats Twinkies, potato chips, and candy bars all day to eat more fruit (and they do), you’ve almost guaranteed an improvement in their health if they eat bananas and apples instead of the aforementioned junk food. That doesn’t mean bananas and apples are “good for you” – it just means they are less “bad for you.” Here’s the kicker, though. We’re led to believe that the reason such folks get leaner and more healthy is because they are eating more fruits or more vegetables or more grains or more . I have no intention of engaging in a battle with proponents of plant- based eating or no- saturated- fat diets. I’m reasonably confident that the proponents of these diets are good people who really want to help others and have nothing but the best intentions. But that doesn’t mean we can or should overlook the errors being made in drawing their conclusions. Many people do very well on plant- based (e. But why are they doing well? That is the single most important question we should be asking ourselves. Why did the people in the China Study who ate more plants do better than those who ate more animals (assuming they did)? Parenthetically, if you actually want the answer to this question, beyond my peripheral address, below, please read Denise Minger’s categorically brilliant analysis of the study. I know a lot of people who eat this way and, I’ve got to say, these folks do not eat a lot of sugar or a lot of highly refined carbohydrates. In fact, many are so conscientious of their health that they actually have far better carb- habits than most (e. While I do plan to write an entire post on this topic of what one can and cannot conclude from an experiment, I do want to at least make the point here: The biggest single problem with nutrition “science” is that cause and effect are rarely linked correctly. Stated another way, it’s one thing to observe an outcome, but it’s quite another to conclude the actual cause of that outcome. Let me digress for a moment to provide an important example of this phenomenon. One of the most prominent figures in the diet/nutrition space is Dr. Ornish personally, and I can only assume that he is a profoundly caring physician who has dedicated his life to helping people live better lives. He is nationally, and internationally, regarded for his efforts. One of the reasons for his prominence, I believe, is the work he did in the early 1. Ornish was the principle investigator on a trial published in the journal The Lancet in 1. An abstract of the paper can be found here. But as always, I STRONGLY encourage folks with access (or folks who are willing to purchase it) to read the paper in its entirety. For people who don’t want to read the study completely, or who may not have much experience reading clinical papers, I want to devote some time to digging into this paper. Well, for starters, reading abstracts, hearing CNN headlines, or reading about studies in the NY Times doesn’t actually give you enough information to really understand if the results are applicable to you. Beyond this reason, and let me be uncharacteristically blunt, just because a study is published in a medical journal it does not imply that is worth the paper it is printed on. My mentor at the NIH, Dr. Steve Rosenberg, once told me that a great number of published studies are never again cited (I forget the exact number, but it was staggering, over 5. Translation: whatever they published was of such little value that no one ever made reference to it again. I am, to be clear, not implying this is the case for this trial, but I want you to understand why it’s important to read papers fully. This trial, The Lifestyle Heart Trial, prospectively randomized a group of not- so- healthy patients into two treatment groups: the control group and the experimental group (or what we’d call the “treatment” or “intervention” group). The experimental group (2. Change their diet to a low- fat vegetarian diet (1. Smoking cessation. Exercise regimen (minimum of 3 hours per week, at minimum of 3. Stress management (e. Join social supportgroups for help with adherence (twice weekly)The control group (1. One aspect of this trial that made the results particularly interesting was the use of angiography to actually measure and document the coronary artery lesions (i. The study was not powered to measure “hard” outcomes (e. In other words, there were not enough subjects in the study to determine a difference in these “hard” outcomes, so we can’t make a conclusion about such events, only the changes in “soft” outcomes. I’m not discounting soft outcomes, only pointing out the distinction for folks not familiar with them. So what happened after a year of intervention versus no intervention? First off, and perhaps most importantly from the standpoint of drawing conclusions, compliance was reported to be excellent and the differences between the groups were statistically significant on every metric, except total average caloric intake. In other words, for every intended difference between the groups a difference existed, except that on average they ate the same number of calories (though obviously from very different sources), which was not intended to be different as both groups were permitted to eat ad libitum – meaning as much as they wanted. Who was “healthier” at the end of a year? The table below shows the changes in both groups. If you want a quick primer on p- values, this is as good a time as any to get one. These tables (i. e., results tables) are a bit cumbersome if you’re not used to looking at them, so let me walk you through one row in detail. Let’s look at HDL cholesterol concentration. In the experimental group, HDL- C fell slightly from 1. M (3. 9 +/- 1. 0 mg/dl for Yankees like me) to 0. M (3. 8 +/- 1. 5 mg/dl), while it slightly fell from 1. M (5. 2 +/- 2. 0 mg/dl) to 1. M (5. 1 +/- 1. 5 mg/dl) for the control (i. It’s hard to tell if this change was statistically significant by inspection, so you glance at the p- value which tells you it was not. That is, how did the actual measured lesions in the subjects’ coronary arteries change? Can I conclude that a low- fat vegetarian diet is the “best” diet for reducing the risk of heart disease? Unfortunately, we do not know. SLIGHT DIGRESSION: Tragically, all of U. S. Maybe their conclusions are correct. The other group gets randomized to a cocktail of 1. I argue that each of these diets does some good, especially with respect to eliminating the worst offending agents along the insulin- fat- metabolic derangement axes. And, the majority of the benefit folks receive comes from the reduction of sugars and highly refined carbohydrates. But now I’m repeating myself, aren’t I? |
