Request: Phase 1 South Beach Diet meal plan example

I video taped what I had to eat yesterday while on Phase 1 of the South Beach Diet. This is an example of a very strict day because I did not add any salt to the food, had very little cheese and had no sugar free candy like I usually do.

Max Healthcare Dietician recommends Weight Loss Diet Plan

When calories burnt per day are more than calories eaten per day, then it will lead to weight loss. It is important to eat 2000 cals/day. Diet and exercise are important in weight loss. Avoid unhealthy snacking and incorporate complex carbohydrates in meals and eat breakfast for sure.

Atkins Diet Misconceptions: High Protein or High Fat Diet?

This is the second in Atkins Diet misconceptions or myths series, and in this video I deal with the thought this is a high protein diet. Just check out google for “Atkins Diet” and “high protein,” and you’ll see how prevalent this misconception is.

USDA Food Pyramid Standard for Protein:
10-35% of Total Calories

http://health.msn.com/weight-loss/articlepage.aspx?cp-documentid=100186268

http://www.health.gov/DietaryGuidelines/dga2005/document/html/chapter5.htm

With 35% being the standard for high protein, what does Dr. Atkins recommend?
“The macro-nutrient breakout in the Induction phase is 60 percent fat, 30 percent protein and 10 percent carbohydrate. It should be more appropriately be called a high fat regimen. As you progress through the phases, your percentage of fat naturally diminishes as your percentage of carbohydrates increases.” Even in DANDR, he cautions against going high protein on page 43,
“No, because when you cut out fat, what is left is protein and carbohydrate, both of which can produce a blood-sugar response. Fat is the only substance that won’t have an impact on your blood sugar. It also provides essential fatty acids you can’t get from protein or carbohydrates. Contrary to much of what you may have heard, fat can be good for you! (43)”

Dangers of low fat, low carb, high protein diet:
Sources:
* http://www.nationmaster.com/encyclopedia/Rabbit-starvation
* http://www.medbio.info/Horn/PDF%20files/rabbit%20starvation.pdf

Rabbit starvation is the form of acute malnutrition caused by excess consumption of any lean meat (e.g. rabbit) coupled with a lack of other sources of nutrients usually in combination with other stressors, such as severe cold or dry environment. Symptoms include diarrhea, headache, lassitude, a vague discomfort and hunger that can only be satisfied by consumption of fat or carbohydrates.

How much protein is advisable:
*** .8 – 1.2g per kg of body weight – normal adults, or roughly 72g to 109g per day for 200 pound adult
*** Up to 1.6g per kg – for extremely active or weight lifting adults, or 145g for 200 pound adult (29%)

Atkins Diet: How should spouses / partners support weight loss activities?

Additional contact methods:

Blog: http://www.network-admin.net
IM or Skype: Contact Me First
Ustream – http://www.ustream.tv/channel/how-to-atkins-diet-tv

Show notes:

http://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=df6bhmft_70f5rkwwx2

Why support?
* the obvious answer is because you love them
* however there is “something in it for you” as well
o a friend/spouse/partner with more energy
o a friend/spouse/partner potentially happier
o a friend/spouse/partner who is healthier and may go to the doctor less often
o a friend/spouse/partner who may want to engage in more activities with you

Examples of how to be supportive:
* Support their Food Choice
o Asking which foods they would like purchased or NOT purchased
o if you share the cooking duties, learn how to cook their plan
* Allowing time for exercise session and reasonably accommodating it
o If it takes taking on additional responsibilities (cooking, laundry, taking care of the children alone, grocery shopping), do it
o the time you give for success should reap you rewards
* Being interested but not intrusive on progress or the plan
o you are not the weight loss police
o don’t make the weight loss the only focus of the relationship
o don’t routinely ask “how much weight have you lost today?” — rely on them to tell you
* Understand the emotional side of weight loss – I’ve talked about this in my emotional or psychological aspects of weight loss video
o Theirs — perhaps more irritable, more tired, grouchy, depression, or really happy — in the words of Red Hot Chili Pepper, it’s a “Rollercoaster of Love”
o Yours- envy (focus elsewhere or of their success), feelings of loss (loss of old lifestyle or routines)
* Be an example
o eat the right foods yourself
o exercise – either together or by yourself
o don’t challenge them verbally with your example (like I said in my intro, be a silent example)
* Ultimate Don’ts
o nag – you should not ask “should you really eat that?”
o criticize – their body image or even potentially their manner of weight loss
o tempt – don’t offer them something that is not on their plan or say only one bite shouldn’t hurt you
o get jealous – as your spouse loses the weight, they may get additional attention.
+ Be aware that at their core, they remain the same person you married.
+ trust them
+ don’t feel challenged by the weight loss
o make fun activities – weight loss activities (time together should not only be workout sessions — sometimes biking or walking together can just be that)
* Finally, remember their success or failure ultimately is a personal thing.
o You can not make them succeed or fail.
o You can however set the stage for that success or failure. It is up to them to carry it through.
o The success is theirs alone.

The case for low-carbohydrate diets is gaining weight. Christopher Gardner, PhD, assistant professor of medicine at the Stanford Prevention Research Center, has completed the largest and longest-ever comparison of four popular diets using real-world conditions, which he discusses – the lowest-carbohydrate Atkins diet came out on top.
