Strategies to avoid Holiday weight gain? Posted: 11/23/2009 9:25:41 AM
Nothing special, just do as always to maintain lean weight, portion control, and keep the carbs low. Don't let any fatties mock or intimidate you that you are punishing yourself. The only person responsible and authoritative for goes in your mouth is yourself. It is awkward to refuse when the host(ess) serves empty, high-carb food like candied yams, candied cranberry, potatoes, flour-y gravy and sauces, etc, and he/she feels insulted when you don't pig out with a second, heaped plate. It's insulting that anyone thinks they can dictate what you should eat. I don't really have an easy solution for that. That's probably one of the more acceptable situations for a white lie about how, eg, you have had an upset/nauseous stomach the past couple days that just won't clear up and your appetite is low.

Heavier Americans Push Back on Health Debate Posted: 11/21/2009 2:29:32 PM
Somebody put some numbers on the costs of obesity. ============ Rising obesity will cost U.S. health care $344 billion a year By Nanci Hellmich, USA TODAY If Americans continue to pack on pounds, obesity will cost the USA about $344 billion in medical-related expenses by 2018, eating up about 21% of health-care spending, says the first analysis to estimate the future medical costs of excess weight. These calculations are based on the projection that in 10 years 43% of Americans adults may be obese, which is roughly 30 or more pounds over a healthy weight, if obesity continues to rise at the current rate. Extra weight increases the risk of diabetes, heart disease and many types of cancer. This report comes as the country struggles to find ways to curb medical costs and Congress debates health care legislation. "Obesity is going to be a leading driver in rising health-care costs," says Kenneth Thorpe, chairman of the department of health policy and management at Emory University in Atlanta. Thorpe did this special analysis on obesity for America's Health Rankings, the 20th annual assessment of the nation's health on a state-by-state basis. "There is a tsunami of chronic preventable disease about to be unleashed into our medical-care system which is increasingly unaffordable," says Reed Tuckson of United Health Foundation, sponsor of the report with the American Public Health Association and Partnership for Prevention. Using weight data, Census statistics and medical expenditure information, Thorpe found: •An obese person will have an average of $8,315 in medical bills a year in 2018 compared with $5,855 for an adult at a healthy weight. That's a difference of $2,460. •If the percentage of obese adults doesn't change but stays at the current rate of 34%, then excess weight will cost the nation about $198 billion by 2018. •If the obesity rate continues to rise until 2018, then Colorado may be the only state with less than 30% of residents who are obese. •More than 50% of the population in several states could be obese by 2018: Oklahoma, Mississippi, Maryland, Kentucky, Ohio and South Dakota. The report adds to the growing body of evidence of obesity's impact on medical costs. A study released in July showed that obese Americans cost the country about $147 billion in weight-related medical bills in 2008, double what it was a decade ago. It now accounts for about 9.1% of medical spending. Overall, the United States spends about $1.8 trillion a year in medical costs associated with chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease and cancer, and all three are linked to smoking and obesity, the nation's two largest risk factors, according to the America's Health Rankings report. Smoking is still the No. 1 preventable cause of death in the country, accounting for about 440,000 deaths annually, the report says. About one in five Americans smoke. More than 3 million people quit smoking this past year. The percentage of people who smoke varies by state, from 9.3% in Utah to more than 25% in Kentucky, Indiana and West Virginia, the study says. "This report is an urgent call to take much more aggressive action to deal with key disease risk factors such as obesity and smoking," Tuckson says. Health economist Eric Finkelstein, co-author of The Fattening of America, says medical costs won't go down unless Americans make a serious effort "to slim down by improving their diet and exercise patterns."

Benefits of Dehydration? Posted: 11/9/2009 7:04:55 AM
"long term negative effects." Concentrated urine causes crystallization and formation of kidney stones, which is why nephrologists encourage plenty of liquids. You're welcome to form kidney stones and get back to us whether it's "negative effect" :) That said, there is no scientific study recommending the famous 8 x 8 0z of water per day. Excess water is poisonous to the point of death. The best liquids are from fruits and vegetables with are about 90%+ (nutrient-laden) water, not corporate bottled water. If you're thirsty, drink (or have a fruit/vegetable salad).

Heavier Americans Push Back on Health Debate Posted: 11/9/2009 6:57:16 AM
"no healthcare for those who some consider more a burden" straw man. Public insurance is for everybody. It's PRIVATE for-profit insurance that denies insurance (and therefore, health care) to risky people. "Free Healthcare to All of its citizens" Advanced countries with national health care systems do not provide FREE health care. "social" payroll taxes, even on unemployment payments, are quite heavy, but when it comes time for (catastrophic) health care, you're out-of-pocket is nil or tiny, but NOT FREE. Freedom is a legal concept. People are free to live badly (bad diet, unfit) and invite chronic, expensive hard-to-treat diseases. Have fun, be greedy and gluttonous, go nutz, get sick, enter poverty, go bankrupt! :) It's The Great American Dream Responsibility is a moral/ethical concept which "should" (normative) lead people to have a broader awareness (beyond the pleasures on their mouths) of the consequences of their actions. The extreme right wing, and morally bankrupt writers like Ayn Rand, have poisoned public discourse into believing that people acting responsibly for the common/social good are common-unists, socialists, and that's UnAmerican. When we are paying for the "same boat" but someone in the boat is 5'5" and 300 pounds, the stability and sea-worthiness of the boat is at risk.

correction: "they've shown" that if you CAN'T be lean and fit, ... ================= We have penalized with high insurance rates car drivers with bad records, smokers, skydivers, etc. I doubt if we'll ever penalize fat people financially for being fat, but we should at least reward people with lower health insurance rates who maintain measurable, testable health parameters. Let the heavy ones pay 100% of the health insurance rates, while giving seriously motivating discounts to the healthy ones. There are a lot of measurable, testable parameters (and diseases) that can be modified through diet and exercise.

btw, "they've shown" that if you can be lean and fit, then being unlean and fit is nearly as good. My guess is that the percentage of people who are fat and fit is about the same as the number of people who are irremediably fat for medical reasons, extremely small.

"weight diversity" "fat pride" pseudo-scientific, euphemistic gobbledy-gook is the best! No matter what the pro-fatties say, excess weight is above all a HEALTH problem, then a cosmetic problem. Any pro-fat / fat-indifferent movement is misleading at least, and lying at worst. Excess fat MATTERS, and it matters more and more as the decades pass, when the body just can't keep resisting the onslaught of abuse. Systemic inflammation (body fat is pro-inflammatory) thickens the arteries, the heart is overworked, enlarged, thickened pumping excess blood through excess miles and miles of arteries and veins grown to feed fat cells (they are alive, not inert). the body loses sensitivity to insulin, gets diabetes (causing heart, vascular, kidney diseases). 10s and 10s of excess pounds wear down the joints = arthritis. Hormones produced by fat cells disrupt hormonal balance. Excess weight is a "co-morbidity" for just about every other morbidity, making them worse, creating complications. The corps know EXACTLY and MALICIOUSLY how to manipulate sugar/fat/salt/chemcial combos to produce industrial, cheap food-like dead substances of S.A.D., standard American diet, that please the mouth but harm health. The corps are a formidable opponent, and obviously, they're winning. Overweight and obesity is huge business in America, and those business forces work very hard to get you to spend $Bs overeating, then spend $Bs to try to lose it, put it back, lose it, until you end up a victim and ward of the health care industry. You all know this, of course, so you don't get suckered into buying pseudo-concepts like "weight diversity" as a Good Thing.

Protein shakes ect.. Posted: 10/29/2009 9:46:11 AM
For the protein bulimics, where is the science? "In young and old adults, we saw that 12 ounces gave exactly the same increase in muscle protein synthesis as 4 ounces," Paddon-Jones says. "This suggests that at around 30 grams of protein per meal, maybe a little less, muscle protein synthesis hits an upper ceiling." http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/printerfriendlynews.php?newsid=168876 28 g = 1 ounce. Excess protein stresses the body to break it down and excrete it in urine.

How can a man over 35 get more or boost of energy? Posted: 10/25/2009 11:00:55 AM
People who study sleep say there is a widespread sleep deficiency (sleeping less hours than a particular person's needs). Cheap and easy to see if going to bed earlier, and actually sleeping longer, without interruption, provides all-day energy. Should wake up feeling refreshed and ready to go. Sleep should of course be natural, not chemically induced. snoring/sleep apnea prevents deep, restful sleep. I really don't think synthetic energy chemicals are anybody's solution to low energy, short term and certainly not long term. Beside chronic sleep deficiency, chronic low-grade depression also robs feelings of energy. Hypogonadism certainly robs men of energy, strength, libido. Hypogonadism can be caused by estrogen analogs from plastic and other synthetic pollutants. Before any chemicals and oh-so-easy pill popping, the good old triplet of sufficient sleep, fresh foods diet, and aerobic exercise should work for most people.

Testosterone Posted: 10/20/2009 12:05:07 PM
Docs vary widely in their OPINIONS of what's what, as do the scientific reports. If there's anything true about biomedical science (and nutrition), it's that for every report zig there's are report zag. That fact the millions of teen/young men with peak/extra testosterone DON'T get prostate cancer is evidenced-based enough for me to know that testosterone doesn't initiate prostate cancer. Testosterone supplementation in later decades can accelerate micro/harmless/slow growing prostate cancer so that it becomes clinically detectable, but the cancer was there before the testosterone supplemention, not initiated by it.

"Elevated testosterone causes prostate cancer" Absolutely untrue. If you have prostate cancer (whether you know it or not), testosterone (actually dihydrotestosterone) will feed it. If you don't have prostate cancer, testosterone (supplemented or natural) will not initiate it. If high testosterone levels initiated prostate cancer, millions of teenage men with peak testosterone would be getting prostate cancer, along with all the guys who supplement their testosterone.

What is the truth about apple cider vinegar? Posted: 10/12/2009 7:07:15 PM
"did you know that black pepper is an irritant that harms the delicate lining of the intestinal tract" did you know that black pepper contains piperine which greatly increases the bio-availability of many nutrients? black pepper, and peppers of all types, have been eaten by billions of people for 1000s of years. But some modern food scientist says otherwise? GMAFB Capsaicin from peppers is an anti-inflammatory, an analgesic, and anti-cancer phyto-chemical. It is proposed as one explanation why tropical countries that consume great quantities lof peppers have, across the board, lower cancer rates than the cancer-ridden USA.

What is a safe rate to lose weight? Posted: 10/7/2009 5:22:32 PM
1 - 2 pounds/week, max to lose 70 pounds, you have to change the lifestyle that put on an extra 70 pounds, and keep it changed, or the weight comes back. The key change is better quality nutrition and balance of calories in vs burned. Exercise isn't required to lose weight, but it helps (as long as it's not super intense and unsustainable of the long run), and being fit is always better than not.

when to eat Posted: 10/2/2009 2:03:55 PM
your alimentary canal is digesting your last 2 or 3 meals for continuous nourishment, and your liver and muscles have stores of many hours of glycogen. Eating before a workout would have to be "fast" carbs, and is probably unnecessary. Fast carbs are usually low quality, processed carbs, aka sugar. To lose that last 25 pounds, eat less.

"4) Vaccine manufacturers have been insulated from liability by the government. The Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sibelius has granted legal immunity not only to the makers of the 2 drugs being used to treat swine flu, Tamiflu and Relenza, but also to the swine flu vaccine makers, for damages due to their use against swine flu. By effectively manipulating the legal system, the Pharmaceutical Industry through their powerful lobbyists have acquired almost complete and total insulation from any liability for their vaccines and adjuvants, which are additives added to generate a stronger immune response. It is believed that it is these adjuvants which often cause the problems. The last time the government embarked on a major vaccine campaign against a new swine flu was in 1976. Thousands filed claims for side effects such as paralysis caused by the vaccine and a number of people died." http://www.huffingtonpost.com/dr-frank-lipman/swine-flu-what-to-do_b_286245.html The US govt is simply a proxy acting on behalf of BigPharma and other corporations.

"Cannot think of one thing the U S government does well much less at cost." Let's "think of one thing" totally unrelated to health care. How about ... Medicare? When the Repugs brought in Medicare Advantage, they gave the private health insurance industry $50B so it could compete with Medicare. Medicare Advantage still costs about 12% MORE than standard Medicare. Private security contractors in Iraq and Afghanistan make over $100K/year, while US enlisted military make under $50K year.

It's a BigPharma fear-mongering scam to stampede people into getting shots (of untested vaccine), and organizations into forcing, or nearly forcing, people to get the shots. Very much like the Gardisil/HPV scam. Any time there's this much noise about anything, follow the money. 1000s of US people, mostly very young and very old, the usual victims, die every year from flu and colds. This winter won't be much different. For perspective, nearly 90,000 die yearly from avoidable/preventable medical errors.

Riseing levels of Depression in the 18-30 age range. Posted: 9/19/2009 9:43:45 AM
"people that report depression" Self-reporting of psychological condition. yeah, always reliable. auto-suggestion and "human see, human do" never apply. BigPharma's relentless, very sophisticated, pervasive advertising is meant to hypnotize people into believing that BigPharma has a solution pill for Whatever Ails Ya. Apparently, depression (a healthy, normal part of life) is being sold very successfully. http://archpsyc.ama-assn.org/cgi/content/short/66/8/848 Docs can flip patients quicker (rake in more dollars) by writing prescriptions rather than talking to them (not that talking works). And the non-BigPharma advertising is mean to make you feel bad about yourself, you don't measure up, you're too fat, ugly, bad skin, bad hair, bad clothes, bad car, bad nails, bad feet, no tatoos? What a loser! What a coincidence, you just need to buy their product that will fix you up with happiness.

Coping with whey protein Posted: 9/18/2009 6:34:44 PM
Powedered egg-white is excellent protein, very mild taste so easy to hide, great filler for blender breakfast. I get mine at honeyvillegrain.com, but it's not organic. brownwoodacres.com has unsweetened, fruit concentrates that really help. tart cherry and red raspberry are wonderful. Cinnamon, tiniest touch of cloves, allspice.

Fenugreek Posted: 9/17/2009 6:57:15 PM
google a bit. lowers/stabilizes serum glucose, reduces cholesterol. I buy at the local S.Asian grocery store and grind it in the blender. It's VERY HARD and takes some real work to get it to powder stage. Or you can buy it in capsules, probably 50x as expensive. Same with ginger (that I buy bulk in powder).

Men living with their parents: A social taboo? Posted: 9/16/2009 7:42:33 AM
I read where 30% of US kids under 35! are living with their parents. Expect that to get worse as the jobs continue to evaporate into 2010.

Can you eat too much ground flax seed? Posted: 9/16/2009 7:23:42 AM
I ground up 1/2 cup flax seed in my morning blender drink for 2 years and lived to tell about. :)
