Less Beef More Tuna and Eggs
Monday, May 5, 2014
Hi,
I am finally seeing some weight loss progress. I actually made two changes. The first being the 16-hour fast per day and the second, about a week and a half later, was to begin to eat a couple of lighter meals during the 8-hour feed time. That Sumo Wrestlers Diet really stuck in my mind. I realized if my weight loss has stalled, then, Im eating too much. Plain. Simple.
For a long time a thought has been sitting at the back of my mind that I did not want to really investigate. Ive been wondering if all the beef and pork that I have been eating is the reason I stalled. I went back and looked at my journal over the time period in January that I was losing weight and I noticed that at that time I ate eggs and tuna for the majority of my protein. It does appear that when I started including more beef, my weight loss stalled. I had not wanted to admit that to myself because I thought beef was a good protein source that I did not have to worry about. Perhaps it is because I did not feel I could afford the grass fed variety, and was using standard beef.
So in this last week I, again, went to eggs and tuna for my protein, with a little pork, and left off the beef and in about three days I noticed a lot of water coming off of me. Dont get ahead of me... the water was coming off but my weight had not changed on the scale. I know. I was baffled, too. Then after that the scale made a five pound drop in one day. Then a three pound drop the next day. Ive now gone up a pound, but I give that over to normal every day fluctuations. I am planning on doing more of the eggs and tuna again to see if I make progress on the scale, again. Ill have beef no more than once a day and since Ill be consuming less of it, maybe I can get the grass fed beef to improve that area, too. The pork does not seem to be a problem, but Im a little tired of pork for now.
It has occurred to me that I probably could do more chicken, but, ya know, Im just not a real fan of chicken. I dont hate it, but if I buy it, it sits in my freezer for months before I eat it. I choose everything and anything else before choosing that. I should probably make some chicken soup. That is my favorite way to have chicken.
The daily 16-hour fasting has been going well. There are times when I have to remind myself that the feeling of hunger means my body is actually using the fat stores for energy. This seemed to happen a little more after I cut down on the beef, which may be the reason I did not want to stop eating it. It is very satisfying and for a very long time.
If youve been reading my blog at all you must know that I adjust things on the fly. I have a plan, but if things happen in life, I adjust to make it work as I go. This has a good side and a bad side. The good side, is that if I notice something is not working, I can quickly adjust to make it work. The bad side, is that if I happen to let things get over into craving ville, life can get pretty wacky and my weight loss will probably stall.
I know what foods to avoid ninety percent of the time. That means that for about ten percent I can allow in a few starchy carbs. Now that I am doing the fasting Ive discovered that I can have an occasional higher carb meal without as much worry.
There is still the option of doing one or two 24-hour fasts during a week instead of doing a 16-hour fast every day. Ive not tried that, yet. I did not want to have way too many variables to factor in. If I make too many changes then I cant tell which one worked or didnt work.
The fasting really does not seem to be that hard to do. I have the time periods written down in my journal and I look forward to breaking the fast, but it is not like starvation when you dont know when you will be eating again. Thank God, I know when my next meal is. That alone, makes it much less stressful than those who are in situations where they dont know where their next mouthful is coming from.
If youve read "Eat Stop Eat" ( http://eatstopeat.com/ ) you know that there are some myths out there about dieting, metabolism, starvation mode, fasting, and other things that are just not proven by the science. ESE is a must read for anyone who struggles with their weight and wants to know the science behind fasting.
There is also very good information about the actual experience of fasting at "Intermittent Fasting, Ch. 6" ( http://www.precisionnutrition.com/intermittent-fasting/chapter-6 ). This one introduces other forms of fasting that ESE does not cover. This one is a free downloadable PDF, too.
Im still on the journey and happy about the recent weight losses. Hope all is well with you.
Be back soon,
Marcia

Stomach Bacteria in Meat and Eggs Making So Harmful to Heart
Friday, April 4, 2014
During the meat and eggs are often considered to increase the risk of heart disease due to high cholesterol content. The new findings actually revealed that bacteria in the body of men that makes 2 types of food to be harmful to the heart.
The discovery made by Dr. Stanley Hazen, researchers from the Cleveland Clinic revealed that carnitine, a naturally occurring chemical found in red meat, may increase the risk of heart disease. This risk arises not directly, but after going through the process in the digestive system, a case cited from Medical Daily.
Disclosed in the New England Journal of Medicine that the lecithin contained in egg yolks, red meat, liver, soybeans, wheat, nuts, and milk. If you eat these foods, it will be broken down by the system lecithin body menajdi choline. Bacteria in the digestive tract will consume choline and process it into a chemical called TMAO (trimethylamine N-oxide).
TMAO is known to increase the risk of heart disease and hardening of the arteries, also called atherosclerosis. Arteriosclerosis will lead to the risk of heart attack and stroke.
To find the relationship TMAO levels in heart attack directly, researchers recruited 4,000 people who had undergone angiography. TMAO levels were taken and patients were followed for 3 years.
The researchers found that respondents with higher levels of TMAO 2 times higher risk was also higher for heart attack, stroke or death compared with those who had low levels of TMAO.
But keep in mind when respondents were given strong antibiotics, which will eliminate a particular intestinal bacteria, TMAO levels they never go up. This greatly affects the bacteria that produce TMAO. With these results the researchers will be studying a certain species or strains of bacteria that cause increased production of TMAO and search for a vaccine.

Eggs To Eat Or Not To Eat
Wednesday, March 12, 2014
A study in the April edition of The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition (AJCN) found:"Egg consumption was positively related to mortality, more strongly so in diabetic subjects."Men in the study who reported eating 7 or more eggs per week had an almost 25% increased risk of death during the 20-year follow-up compared to men who ate 1 or fewer eggs per week.
For those with diabetes the risk rose to 200%. That is, diabetic men who consumed the most eggs had double the risk of dying compared to those who ate the fewest.
The men in the study were 21,327 Harvard-educated participants of the Physicians Health Study I.

Myths And Facts About Eggs
Wednesday, February 19, 2014

Eggs are the best and cheapest source of protein. However, there are still many who need to know more about the eggs.
It seemed no one who does not know the ingredients of this protein-rich foods. Almost everyone had to eat it in a variety of delicious dishes, such as fried rice, cakes, noodles, and so on. Merakyatnya such eggs until there are so many myths that
circulating in the community about the eggs. Some are true and can be justified scientifically, but not a bit misguided. Consider the explanation of the myth of Prof. Dr. Ir. Khomsan Ali, MS from the Department of Community Nutrition, Bogor Agricultural University.
Omega3 EGGS MAKE INTELLIGENT
Information "makes smart" is not entirely wrong because the egg omega Omega3 is 15x higher than in normal eggs. Why is that? Not because to produce eggs that are rich in Omega3 fatty acids, also petelurnya special chicken feed. Omega3 fatty acids are very important for intelligence. That is why, it is best eaten Omega3 eggs toddlers. But keep in mind, the intelligence of a child is not only influenced by nutritional factors. But is determined by genetic factors and the extent to which a given environmental stimulation. These three factors are mutually reinforcing each other.
In addition, the eggs of this type also has a low cholesterol content. This is because the content of Omega3 eggs among other unsaturated fats can lower cholesterol levels. Keep in mind, that high cholesterol levels cause potential blockages in blood vessels. Blockage is what will cause a heart attack or stroke. Until not too much to say Omega3 eggs is a very suitable food choices to prevent heart disease. Omega3 her womb was able to strengthen muscles
heart.
RAW EGGS / parboiled MORE Efficacious
Not a few people who believe that such eating raw eggs or undercooked eggs may increase their stamina. Their opinion, more fresh raw eggs so it is very good to eat.
Of course this assumption is just a myth. Because the raw and undercooked eggs is eggs that are not ready to digest the body. Lo, why? Because in raw or undercooked condition, its protein binding is still so strong. Body is difficult to break it down into acids
Amino making process to digest it was going very slow. So raw eggs capable of making is concerned feel full longer. Perhaps originated from this came the myth that eating eggs makes a person feel stronger activity, including exercise.
Habit of adding honey did in fact help the digestive process. Honey can help the eggs to be better digested by the body. However, parents still have to pay attention to food safety issues. Moreover, today many diseases caused by
foods that are not cooked until done, from typhus to bird flu. Remember, bacteria may be present in raw eggs could enter the body and cause the child fell ill. Especially if his durability is being bad.
EGG WHITE SHOULD BE DISPOSED
In terms of nutritional content, egg yolk is better than white eggs. All types of protein, cholesterol, fat, vitamin A contained in the egg yolk is not owned by egg white. Moreover, in the raw state, egg whites can indeed inhibit the absorption of vitamin A. However, although not as part of the nutritional content yolk, egg white remains suitable for consumption, as long as it cooked medium rare. Anyway egg whites can be processed like other delicious pastries. Unfortunately not if discarded?
CHICKEN EGGS BETTER THAN VILLAGE COUNTRY CHICKEN EGG
Chicken egg is better because it contains amino acids are better and at the same time higher than the domestic chicken as well as chicken. This is what causes all the nutrients in the kampung chicken eggs can be better absorbed by the body. Even so, in terms of nutrients, such as fat, cholesterol, vitamins, and others, there is no noticeable difference between chicken eggs and broiler chickens and country.
BEST FOOD AFTER AN EGG MILK
All foods contain high or low protein in 100 grams depending on its water content. That is, to consume as much as 100 cc milk eggs than 100 grams, of course, better nutritional value of chicken eggs. This is because milk contains more moisture than the egg. As an illustration, milk protein contains about 3%, while the eggs about 12%. Though the price of 100 cc of milk are relatively much more expensive than the 100 gram egg. Especially when compared to meat. Because of this, Meru egg-feeding is the best source of animal protein
as well as the cheapest.
DO NOT EAT EGGS EVERY DAY
Quite a lot of parents who do not allow their children to consume eggs every day. They worry because eating eggs hobbies, their blood cholesterol levels increased dramatically and cause disturbance / serious illness. This view is of course wrong,
especially when applied to the children of Indonesia. Because the majority of Indonesian childrens diet is not good because it rarely drink milk, while not necessarily eat meat once a week. Now, if the eggs were shunned, it is very possible malnutrition would be a serious problem for future generations.
Its certainly very different from the conditions of children peer in developed countries are in the daily menus are often presented steak or other meats and drink milk regularly. No wonder if there is a limit egg consumption is only 4 points in a week. What is important
remember, childhood is a time of growth. In order for optimal growth, adequate intake of good nutrition of course, must be considered. In addition, poor nutritional intake if not impossible should not develop his intelligence.
Just a lot of cholesterol problems generally arise when a person aged 40 years and over and not in the age of the child. This may be because at that age are usually more prosperous life. They are the ones who actually have to limit your intake of foods that contain high levels of
high cholesterol. If not, they would be threatened by heart problems and the like are very rarely experienced by the children. If anything, it is usually not eat eggs as a hobby, but rather due to genetic factors
Inhibitory EGG dementia
Dementia occurs because brain cells are starved of glucose or oxygen. This glucose derived from carbohydrate sources like rice or bread instead of protein such as eggs. Thus there is no connection between egg consumption and dementia. It is
why, with breakfast rice or bread, ones brain will be ready to work. In addition, dementia can also occur if lack of oxygen. Whether because of the flow of the blood vessels are clogged or many other reasons. Obstructed blood flow that makes it difficult to digest the information indvidu concerned.
EGG IS a good conditioner
Conditioner is nothing to do with protein and zinc as many advertised by many shampoo products. Inadequate intake of protein will bring disorder and various hair problems, from hair loss, branched, reddish, easily broken, and so on. No wonder when people are on a strict diet to limit intake of fat and protein, hair is so easy to fall out. Theore, consume eggs so healthy and strong hair.
