We know that foods that trigger insulin lead to fat storage. Putting a stop to this process allows you to mobilize fat and lose weight. If you’re starting out from scratch, rapid and dramatic weight loss can be experienced, as much as one pound per day. So how can you stop triggering insulin? The easiest way is to eliminate, or at least minimize, carbohydrates. My favorite method to restrict carbohydrates is to eliminate wheat and minimize exposure to other carbohydrates, such as oats, cornstarch, and sugars. All these foods, wheat products worst of all, cause…

Consume wheat products, like poppyseed muffins, raisin bagels, and whole grain bread, and you trigger the 90- to 120-minute glucose-insulin cycle. Blood glucose goes way up (more than almost any other known food), triggering insulin release from the pancreas. Glucose enters cells as a result, blood glucose plummets. You get hungry, shaky, and crabby,...

When I tell patients how I advise a wheat-free, cornstarch-free, sugar-free diet on the background of a low-carbohydrate diet, some people ask: “But can I live on a no-carb diet?” Well, there’s no such thing as a “no-carb” diet. Low -carb, yes. No -carb, no. Here are the carbohydrate contents of various “low-carb”...

In a previous post, Atkins Diet: Common Errors , I commented on butter’s unusual ability to provoke insulin responses. I offer this as a possible reason why, after a period of effective weight loss on a low-carbohydrate program, inclusion of some foods, such as butter, will trigger weight gain or stall weight loss efforts. This develops because...

Bariatric weight-loss surgery in obese people with type 2 diabetes can have an unexpected, yet positive side effect — nearly 3 out of 4 patients in one study were able to stop taking their insulin and other diabetes medications within six months of surgery. In a study of more than 2,200 U.S. adults, Johns Hopkins University researchers found...

Take a look at these glycemic indexes (GI): White bread 69 Whole wheat bread 72 Sucrose 59 Mars bar 68 White rice 72 Brown rice 66 I’ve made issue in past of whole wheat’s high GI–higher than white bread. Roughly in the same glycemic league as bread are shredded wheat cereal, brown rice, and a Mars candy bar. With few exceptions,...

Just kidding: No novel here. However, there is indeed a story to tell that should scare the pants off you. If you haven’t yet gathered that carbohydrates are a macronutrient nightmare, let me recount the list: Carbohydrates increase small LDL particles Or, in the cholesterol-speak most people understand, “carbohydrates increase cholesterol.”...

Joseph is a whip-smart corporate attorney, but one who accepts advice at his own pace. He likes to explore and consider each step of the advice I give him. Starting (NMR) lipoprotein panel on no treatment or diet change: LDL particle number 2620 nmol/L (which I would equate to 262 mg/dl LDL cholesterol) Small LDL 2331 nmol/L –representing 89%...

Some people are reluctant to give up wheat because it is talked about in the Bible. But the wheat of the Bible is not the same as the wheat of today. (See In search of wheat and Emmer, einkorn and agribusiness .) Comparing einkorn to modern wheat, for example, means a difference of chromosome number (14 chromosomes in einkorn vs. 42 chromosomes...

Carbohydrates in the diet trigger formation of small LDL particles. Because carbohydrates, such as products made from wheat, increase triglycerides and triglyceride-containing lipoproteins (chylomicrons, chylomicron remnants, VLDL, and IDL), LDL particles (NOT LDL cholesterol) become triglyceride-enriched . Triglyceride-enriched LDL particles are...

Supplementation of the thyroid hormone, T3, is an underappreciated means to lose weight. Thyroid health, in general, is extremely important for weight control, since even subtle low thyroid hormone levels can result in weight gain. The first step in achieving thyroid health is to be sure you are obtaining sufficient iodine. (See Iodine deficiency...
