Food, Dieting and Health

Here is my OPINION and Experience about Food, Dieting and Health

The way you look at food and eating is important because going on a special diet is the reason you will not lose weight and keep it off. If you want to be healthy and stay healthy you cannot go on and off diets. The way you think is the solution.

  • Food is not entertainment. Even though it can be so much fun!
  • Boredom is not the time to eat. Your mouth wants it, not your body.
  • Food is for survival. Your acceptance of this concept is critical.

Hunger is a Complex Mechanism that is Simple to Understand:

  • When your stomach is low on food it sends a signal to the brain.
    • This signal is mistakenly accepted by people as the signal to eat. It isn’t. It is the signal to hunt or gather your next meal before it’s too late.
      • Because you don’t live in a cave you have the luxury of doing nothing all the way up until you actually need to eat. Or you can go eat something right now. But because you don’t actually need it yet, you are only going to be collecting mass rather than sustaining yourself.
        • TIP: Flavor in the mouth will trick the brain into thinking food is on it’s way, and the stomach relaxes the signals back to the brain. This is a good use of gum to help you last until you actually need to eat. Choose a gum that doesn’t use fake sugars because those are chemical-based, and that’s worse than eating at this stage.
  • When your stomach is Empty it sends a much stronger signal to the brain.
    • The brain then MOTIVATES you to eat something. Usually something specific, and often with a sense of urgency.
      • Flavor in the mouth MIGHT trick the brain into thinking food is on it’s way temporarily. This might work, depending on how empty you are + how much activity you’re doing.
  • The size of your stomach (not your visible belly) determines when this signal is sent to the brain. A larger stomach will send this signal more frequently – not because you need more food, but because it can hold more so it expects to be holding more.
    • You can increase and decrease your actual stomach by decisive eating. I habitually eat portions the size of my fist with my hand over it. Restaurants all serve huge plates that would be the size of both my feet. If you eat a large portion, you will stretch your stomach, and thus increase your capacity to eat larger portions at each sitting.
    • If you already have a large stomach from your current eating habits, then eat less at each meal. You will go through the hunger experience mentioned above, but you will not actually be hungry. Your stomach is only telling your brain that it’s not as full as it usually is. This is where you need self control and the understanding that you will live – just wait until the next scheduled meal time.

Pay Attention to your Eating Schedule

Sometimes, you can be on empty and not realize it because you’re not doing much to burn energy. And then the moment you’re active your body starts demanding energy, which it doesn’t have a fresh supply of. This is where you experience panic and hunger at the same time, or the sensation of seeing stars or even vertigo. That’s how you know you’ve been playing Wii too long.

Eating and Resting

When you eat, and then sleep, your body doesn’t burn what you’ve just eaten at the same pace as if you were active. Instead it stores most of it.

When you eat and feel tired right away, that’s because your body is working really hard at processing it. Sometimes it’s the result of over eating, or eating something that is hard to break down – like steak.

The Starvation Diet

When you DO NOT EAT – the starvation diet – your body goes on the defensive and stores as much as it can get, and burns up what it already has available. This conservation mode results in muscle loss and fat gain. Fat is stored energy. You might look thinner but you’re going to be soft, weak, have wrong skin color and a poor immune system and a cough or cold a lot of the time.

Understanding is Key

So for managing a stable body I recommend an understanding of your body and eating only when you actually need it – not any other time. Obviously you have to consider WHAT you eat. Feeding sugar (processed or not) to an empty belly is not going to produce positive results. Stick to as much non-processed foods as you can, and that includes eating free range animal products that are free of added hormones and antibiotics.

Starve Cancer with Your Diet

Imagine that one medical advancement held the promise to conquer cancer, perhaps within your lifetime.Now imagine that same advance has the potential to also end more than 70 of life’s most threatening conditions, affecting one billion people worldwide.This is the promise of angiogenesis, the first medical revolution of the 21st century.

Dr. William Li
President and Medical Director
The Angiogenesis Foundation

William Li presents a new way to think about treating cancer and other diseases: anti-angiogenesis, preventing the growth of blood vessels that feed a tumor. The crucial first (and best) step: Eating cancer-fighting foods that cut off the supply lines and beat cancer at its own game.

Angiogenesis, new capillary blood vessel growth, as seen by researchers in the laboratory.

William Li heads the Angiogenesis Foundation, a nonprofit that is re-conceptualizing global disease fighting.

Many of society’s most devastating diseases — cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and Alzheimer’s, to name a few — share a common denominator: faulty angiogenesis, the body’s growth of new capillary blood vessels. Given excessive or insufficient blood vessel growth, serious health issues arise. While researching under Harvard surgeon Judah Folkman, who pioneered the study of angiogenesis, Li learned how angiogenesis-based medicine helps patients overcome numerous diseases by restoring the balance of blood-vessel growth.

Li co-founded the Angiogenesis Foundation in 1994. The foundation’s Project ENABLE — a global system that integrates patients, medical experts and healthcare professionals — democratizes the spread and implementation of knowledge about angiogenesis-based medicines, diet and lifestyle. Some 40,000 physicians have been educated on new treatments, ranging from cancer care to wound care, by the foundation’s faculty of medical experts, and they are bringing new, lifesaving and disease-preventing techniques to people around the world.

Stock up on Non Parishable Foods


This is good advice no matter the circumstances – with the one stipulation that the food is not GMO, processed or filled with additives and preservatives. Tall order I know. eFoods Direct (.com) is a great resource for this end.

You may have received a message from me today (Friday) telling to stock up. Why? Because of the swine flu, and here’s more detail on that.

The media is reporting a real dooms-day scenario with this version of the flu with little evidence to support that it is any worse than the common flu. So, why would the media do that? Well as we already know the media is not news but is rather a propaganda device of the controlling elite. Read this article for more balance on my statements: http://www.infowars.com/swine-flu-hysteria-spreads-faster-than-actual-virus/

Bottom line:
The Swine Flu really IS a pandemic waiting to happen, or it’s not. In either case you will need to be prepared for how the governments respond to it. If the governments call it s a pandemic you will be confined to your home (hopefully instead of some FEMA camp) and instructed to avoid contact with others. If the government says it is not a pandemic then you have proof that the media is full of sh¡t and you will at least have food stores.

Finally, ignore this message and gamble with your lives, and gamble with your responsibilities as an intelligent citizen.
Don’t ignore it – be a skeptic of it and research it on your own, but avoid major news outlets and instead look for actual medical personnel input.

Wash your hands, and make your kids wash their hands (soap, hot water, 30 seconds).
Open bathroom doors with paper towels.
Don’t shake hands.
Don’t share food/drink.

MSG: Is This Silent Killer Lurking in Your Kitchen Cabinets?

MSG, additive, processed foodby Dr. Mercola

A widespread and silent killer that’s worse for your health than alcohol, nicotine and many drugs is likely lurking in your kitchen cabinets right now. “It” is monosodium glutamate (MSG), a flavor enhancer that’s known widely as an addition to Chinese food, but that’s actually added to thousands of the foods you and your family regularly eat, especially if you are like most Americans and eat the majority of your food as processed foods or in restaurants.

MSG is one of the worst food additives on the market and is used in canned soups, crackers, meats, salad dressings, frozen dinners and much more. It’s found in your local supermarket and restaurants, in your child’s school cafeteria and, amazingly, even in baby food and infant formula.

MSG is more than just a seasoning like salt and pepper, it actually enhances the flavor of foods, making processed meats and frozen dinners taste fresher and smell better, salad dressings more tasty, and canned foods less tinny.

While MSG’s benefits to the food industry are quite clear, this food additive could be slowly and silently doing major damage to your health. Read the rest of this entry »

Jet Fuel Discovered in Baby Formula

Date Published: Friday, April 3rd, 2009
http://www.newsinferno.com/archives/5453

The rocket fuel component, perchlorate, has been found in baby formulas, according to scientists from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Perchlorate has been linked to thyroid disease.

USA Today reported that a study of 15 powdered infant formulas revealed perchlorate contamination with cow’s milk formula and lactose-based formula containing higher levels than soy-based; lactose-free; and so-called “elemental” formulas, which contain synthetically manufactured amino acids for babies unable to digest other formulas. According to a report in USA Today, brand names of the baby formula tested were not released by the CDC.

Years ago, the military and missile makers dumped perchlorate into the ground where it has since spread into wells and rivers nationwide. According to a prior SFGate piece, perchlorate contamination can be found in at least 35 states and 153 public water system. Worse, pointed out the Boston Phoenix, also from a prior piece, the former Bush Administration blocked a multi-year Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) initiative to limit perchlorate in the nation’s drinking water.

How Metals in Food Affect Your Child’s Behavior

heavy metals, metal, zinc, behavior, lead, mercury, aluminum, ADD, ADHDAccording to a lead researcher in the field, the contamination of food with certain metals needs to be urgently addressed in light of growing evidence linking trace metals to behavioral problems.

It has long been known that excessive amounts of any metal could be potentially dangerous, but there is now also strong evidence that even tiny amounts of some metals can contribute to aggressive or antisocial behavior, says Neil Ward, a professor of chemistry at the UK’s University of Surrey.

Lead has been linked to antisocial behavior, partly because it contributes to nutrient depletion. Aluminum has also been linked to antisocial behavior, as it competes for the binding sites of biochemical receptors of other metal ions, such as iron and zinc. Read the rest of this entry »

There will always be those fattening foods that are easy to make, easy to get, and easy to crave. You think “OK, I know this is bad but it can’t be that bad!” Think again. Here are the top seven foods you should never ever feed your family or yourself!

1. Doughnuts It’s hard to resist the smell of a Krispy Kreme doughnut, which is why I never step foot in the store. Doughnuts are fried chock-full of sugar and white flour and loads of trans fat.

According to the Krispy Kreme Web site, an average 3.5-ounce sugar doughnut weighs in with about 400 calories and contains few other nutrients besides fat. These sugary treats may satisfy your craving but it won’t satisfy your hunger as most of the calories come from fat.

“Eating a lot of refined sugar contributes to blood sugar ‘swings’ or extreme fluctuations,” Nutritionist Susan Burke said. Read the rest of this entry »
