Daily Intakes
• It is widely agreed upon that the
recommended daily caloric intake is between
1800-2400 calories per day for non to light
active people.
• It is also widely agreed upon that
recommended carbohydrate intake should be
about 120 grams.
To loose weight
• One pound of fat contains approximately
3,500 calories, so to lose one pound a week, a
person should consume approximately 3,500
fewer calories per week. This can be done by
reducing the daily intake by 500 calories per
day (500 x 7 days will provide a deficit of 3,500
calories per week). To lose 2 pounds per week,
a deficit of 1,000 calories per day is required.
• 60-70 grams of carbohydrates for weight loss.

Eternal truth •
One of the biggest tragedies of
human civilization is the
precedence of chemical therapy
over natural, of poison over
food, in which we are feeding
people poisons trying to correct
the reactions of starvation.

Obesity and Cancer
• However, estrogen is also produced in fat tissue and, after
menopause, when the ovaries stop producing hormones,
fat tissue becomes the most important estrogen source .
• Estrogen levels in postmenopausal women are 50 to 100 percent higher
among heavy versus lean women. Estrogen-sensitive tissues are therefore
exposed to more estrogen stimulation in heavy women, leading to a more
rapid growth of estrogen-responsive breast tumors.
Obesity has been estimated to account for
about 40 percent of endometrial cancer cases
• Colon Cancer occurs more frequently in people
who are obese than in those of a healthy weight
http://prevention.cancer.gov/prevention-detection/lifestyle
Obesity and Cancer
• Obesity and physical inactivity may account
for 25 to 30 percent of several major cancers
• A recent report estimated that, in the United States, 14
percent of deaths from cancer in men and 20 percent of
deaths in women were due to overweight and obesity.
• Scientists estimate that about 11,000 to 18,000 deaths per year
from breast cancer in U.S. women over age 50 might be avoided if
women could maintain a BMI under 25 throughout their adult lives.
• Both the increased risk of developing breast cancer and
dying from it after menopause are believed to be due
to increased levels of estrogen in obese women
newsweek/2008/06/14/your-lifestyleyour-genes-and-cancer
• We've known for a long time that a high-fat diet,
obesity and lack of exercise can increase the risk of
developing heart disease and type 2 diabetes, two
conditions that affect millions of Americans. What we
are finding out now is that those same lifestyle factors
also play an important role in cancer. That's the bad
news. The good news is that you can do something
about your lifestyle. If we grew thinner, exercised
regularly, avoided diets rich in red meat (substituting
poultry, fish or vegetable sources of protein) and ate
diets rich in fruits and vegetables, and stopped using
tobacco, we would prevent 70 percent of all cancers.
Diabetes
• Text 123.6 million children and adults in the United
States—7.8% of the population—have diabetes.
• Diabetes was the seventh leading cause of
death listed on U.S. death certificates in 2006
• In 2004, heart disease was noted on 68% of
diabetes-related death certificates among people
aged 65 years or older
• Adults with diabetes have heart disease death
rates about 2 to 4 times higher than adults
without diabetes.
Diabetes
• In 2003–2004, 75% of adults with self-reported diabetes
had blood pressure greater than or equal to 130/80 mmHg,
or used prescription medications for hypertension
• Diabetes is the leading cause of new cases of
blindness among adults aged 20–74 years.
• Diabetes is the leading cause of kidney failure,
accounting for 44% of new cases in 2005.
• $174 billion: Total costs of diagnosed diabetes
in the United States in 2007
Study Links Medical Costs and Personal Bankruptcy
• Harvard researchers say 62% of all personal
bankruptcies in the U.S. in 2007 were caused by
health problems—and 78% of those filers had
insurance
• "For middle-class Americans, health insurance
offers little protection. Most of us have policies
with so many loopholes, co-payments, and
deductibles that illness can put you in the
poorhouse," said lead author Himmelstein.
"Unless you're Warren Buffett, your family is just
one serious illness away from bankruptcy."

The Revolution Happened!
Wall Street Journal, Friday, January 9, 2009
•Heart disease, diabetes,
prostate cancer, breast
cancer and obesity account
for 75% of health care
costs, and yet these are
largely preventable and
even reversible by
changing diet and lifestyle.
A recent study published in the Proceedings
of the National Academy of Sciences found
that these approaches may even change
gene expression in hundreds of genes in
only a few months. Genes associated with
cancer, heart disease, and inflammation
were downregulated whereas protective
genes were upregulated or ‘turned on’.
This nation is facing true epidemic of
chronic disease. An increasing
number of Americans are suffering
and dying needlessly from diseases
such as obesity, diabetes, heart
disease, asthma and HIV/AIDS, all of
which can be delayed in onset if not
prevented entirely.
President Obama
A study published in Lancet
Oncology reported that
these life style changes
increase telomerase, then
enzyme that lengthens
telomeres, the ends of our
chromosomes that control
how long we live.
The Interheart study,
published in
September 2004 in
The Lancet, followed
30,000 men and
women on six
continents and found
that changing
lifestyle could
prevent at least 90%
of all heart disease.
Obesity Genes?
• In a recent study, researchers found 12 genes
that increased the risk of obesity. Still,
although certain genes made them more
susceptible to obesity, people are not slaves to
their genes. Exercising an hour a day dropped
the risk of weight gain about 40%. Only 30% of
aging is determined by genes, the other 70%
you control through your behaviors.
Li, S. et al., PLoS Medicine 2010 Aug 31;7(8) pil: e1000332
Obesity Genes?
• Exercise for 3 minutes and it causes your cells
to improve their insulin sensitivity.
• In a study, eating a diet with lots of polyphenolrich olive oil helped suppress genes related to
heart-damaging inflammation and oxidation.

Mayo Clinic-Breast Cancer Prevention
• Limit alcohol. The more alcohol you drink, the
greater your risk of developing breast cancer.
• Control your weight. Being overweight or
obese increases the risk of breast cancer.
• Discontinue hormone therapy. Long-term
combination hormone therapy increases the risk
of breast cancer.
• Avoid exposure to environmental pollution.

#2 Core Physiologic Principal
Glycemic balance
Introduce glucose – source in starch, alcohol, sugars
Increased blood glucose
Hunger – Sugar cravings
Insulin up-regulation
Adaptation – Insulin Resistance
Cells absorb sugar – store as triglycerides
Anabolic weight/fat gain
Hypoglycemia – blood sugar too low
Protein/fat
Increased satiety
Increase
gluconeogenesis
Mitochondria proliferate
Stress – Increased Cortisol
Glycogen reserve depletion
Increase inflammation & anxiety
Glycemic dysregulation
Adrenal /Pancreas stress
food dependency / fatigue
Increased energy/stamina/productivity/independence

Research – Ketogenic Diet
• In 12 men (mean age 36.7 years) who
switched from diet of protein/CHO/fat
17-47-32 to 30-8-61(compared with 8
control subjects)
• 33% reduction in fasting triglycerides
• 29% reduced post-prandial lipemia
after fat rich meal
• 34% reduction in fasting insulin levels
• 11.5% increase in HDL cholesterol
Sharman MJ, Kraemer WJ, et al, J Nutr, 2002, 132 1879-1885
46
Normal CHO Consumption
• Sanity dictates that we consume CHO’s
with lower glycemic indices
• Americans eat a high CHO diet, we
recommend a normal CHO diet, not low
• There are no essential CHO’s
• Energy increases, body sculpting ensues,
weight reduction of fat only, lean muscle
mass increases, food cravings recede,
insulin resistance reverses – What’s to
argue over?
