Editor's Notes
Advert from the early 1900’sExplain the FESS paradigm
Who here get’s confused, wikipedia has over 100 different diets referenced
Explain the energy in, energy out equation, the law of thermodynamics. How much control do we have over this?Why is it you can eat the same, not change your exercise and either put on or lose weight? Who does this with stress? Why is it that research studies show that if you don’t sleep enough you’re more likely to get fat? Shouldn’t this be the opposite given that you burn less energy asleep compared to being awake.
The sinking ship….Why is it that we put on weight? Saying it is because you are in positive energy balance is like saying to the captain of the ship because we are filling up with water when he asks why are we sinking. Rather we should be looking for the root cause of the problem so that we can successfully fix the hole and stop it from happening again.
Start framing insulin, ghrelin, cortisol and leptin here.Ghrelin is the hunger hormone, Leptin is a fullness indicator, these levels can increase drop or our bodies can become resistant to these hormones
So lets look at what the research has to say about our food. Pretty much all reviews on weight loss up until recently have stated that weight loss is simply just reducing our energy intake to induce a negative energy balance. To look at this relationship what I did was delve into the last 10 years of the highest quality weight loss research called RCT’s. These trials have been performed on all sorts of diets, such as low CHO, low fat, mediterranean, atkins even weight watchers. Essentially what I did was break down these diets into how much it reduced energy intake, grams of protein, fat and carbohydrate to determine which has the greatest impact on weight loss. All overweight individuals with trials going for 6 months.This is what I found… Explain the r2 relationshipWhat I would like to know is what is the difference between the outliers why will one diet that restrict energy by 300 cals induce an 8kg weight loss over 6 months while the other only create a 2kg change
Explain the impact protein has on satiety, increases thermogenesis and increases the likelihood of maintaining LBM – MAINTAIN PRO INTAKE WHEN REDUCING EICOUNTERINTUTITIVE IF WE JUST FOCUS ON EI COMPONENT
Highlight that no diet increased the amounts of fat rather maintainedNo relationship, however this does not give the green light to increase fat as it is energy dense (remember all these studies induced a negative energy balance.However, what is more important is the type of fats. Reduction in most saturated fats, and trans fatty acids due to their inflammatory response in the body is important while poly/mono fats and omega 3’s should be maintained.
The strongest relationship, even stronger than energy intake! Why is it if we reduce CHO by a gram it is associated with greater weight loss success than fat? After all one gram of fat has twice as much energy than one gram of CHO.Explain insulin here and what signals it sends the body.It is easiest to reduce these in sugary foods and starchy foods due to their density of CHO, and increase the CHO that are less dense such as vegetables, and to an certain extent wholegrains and fruit.Most people in these trials averaged around 250g of Cho per day
Looking at the adherence rates. Why the greater drop out? Satiety (usually dropping fat means dropping pro) or lack of results?Nordmann et al Arch Intern Med. 2006;166:285-293 – reviewof RCTs on lowcarbvslowfat, thiseffect was still apparentat 12 monthshowever not significant
Many people say that low CHO do not create long term changeShai et al 2008 shows an average difference of 2kg with low CHO to low fat diet and you can see the rebound weight gain post 6 months occurs with both types of diets.Mediterranean diet interesting… lean meats, fish, chicken legumes, nuts, seeds, eggs, olive oil lots of veg (little pasta)COASTAL REGIONS – LOCAL PRODUCE, UNPROCESSED & LOW GI -
