In the ongoing battle royale between the hottest American trend diets, it seems one of them in particular always wins title of “most widely followed trend diet” — the standard low-fat diet.
A new study determines what diet really works.
The idea, it seems, has been that the lower in fat a diet is, the better its results. But this notion is one that is under fire from new research released today. And the study has already reignited a debate within the diet and nutrition community that could determine the eventual fate of the low-fat diet.
Researchers at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev in Israel found in a study of 322 obese subjects that the so-called Mediterranean diet — a diet plan characterized by high levels of healthy fats, fruits, and vegetables — beat out the low-fat diet both in terms of how much weight patients lost, as well as how many health benefits they gained as a result of the diet.

To determine this, researchers put study subjects on one of three diet regimens: a low-carb diet, a low-fat diet or a Mediterranean diet. Those on the low-carb diet lost the most weight in two years — about 12 pounds — while those on the Mediterranean diet lost about 10 pounds.
And in a finding that may surprise some, those on the low-fat diet lost the least weight — about seven pounds after two years.
Moreover, researchers found that a low-fat diet bestowed the least health benefits on the dieters compared with the Mediterranean and low-carb diets. Those on the Mediterranean diet were most likely to have improvements in blood sugar levels, while those on the low carb diet had the most improvement in cholesterol levels.

What’s the Deal with Organic Foods? Part 2
Nutrition by Natalie
What is the difference between organic food and conventional food? Is organic really more healthy for you?
The USDA lays out certain guidelines that farms have to follow in order to be able to claim the food is organic. In this video Natalie discusses what each of those guidelines are.
What is surprising to learn is some of the growing practices of conventional farming and food processing. As an example, chemical plants and waste water treatment facilities will actually sell their toxic waist to conventional farms to use for fertilizer.
What you eat is an important part of health and nutrition.

Atkins Diet Recipes: Low Carb Pancakes
Here is my breakfast Low Carb cooking video where I make my favorite low carb pancake recipe. This isn’t Induction friendly due to the Baking mix, but you could substitute some almond flour to make it Extended Induction legal. (There is an understanding by some Dr. A said they (nuts) could be added after 14 days.) Here’s the recipe:
* 8oz pkg cream cheese
* 3 eggs
* 3 tsp Splenda or equivalent liquid Splenda
* 1/4 cup Atkins Bake Mix *recipe below
* 1/2 tsp baking powder
* 1/2 tsp vanilla
* 1/4 cup Heavy Cream or buttermilk
Beat cream cheese with mixer until blended smooth. Add the remaining ingredients, and let sit for 5 minutes. Preheat non-stick pan to med/high heat. Spray pan with non stick spray and use 1/4 cup measure per pancake. Yield 10 pancakes.
For Pancake Syrup, I recommend Da Vinci:

❤ A TRUE Raw Food Whole Food Meal!
Totally 100% Raw Corn on the Cob,
Tomato Slices,
Cucumber Chunks &
Cilantro…
spritzed with Lime Juice ❤
* I n g r e d i e n t s *
…missing quantities are up to you for this one!…
— Raw Corn on the Cob (yes, totally raw, NOT even so much as lightly steamed…although if you need to steam them, we won’t tell anyone…)
— Beefsteak Tomatoes
— Cucumbers*
— 1 bunch of Cilantro
— 1 Lime
*unpeeled if organic; peeled if inorganic
* P r e p a r a t i o n *
— 1) Shuck the corn, and lay out on what will be each person’s lunch or dinner plate.
— 2) Slice the beefsteak tomatoes into very large pieces & slice the cucumbers lengthwise into quarters, setting all sliced tomatoes & cucumbers along side the shucked ears of corn.
— 3) Chop the cilantro into large pieces, and divide among all of the plates as well.
— 4) Use a manual citrus juicer or a citrus hand juicer to squeeze the juice of the lime over everything on each plate, but concentrating most heavily on the cilantro and the corn.
— 5) Serve, and enjoy!
* I n s p i r a t i o n *
— I wanted to share with you a REAL raw food meal, meaning one that is more typical for a REALLY quick and simple raw food dinner. This recipe involves no machines! But I do use a knife…
— The top question type I have been getting has been about LOVE, and mainly in the sense of asking, “How do I get more love?”
— The 2nd top question type I have been getting has been all things related to CORN, yes corn…go figure! So, to ward off in advance any further “So how do you prepare your corn?” type questions, here is the answer if you haven’t figured it out already: I eat my corn 100% raw and unadulterated…not even slightly steamed! 
— Regarding love, we are all an infinite field and we just come out of that…but with conditionings brought upon by us by our environments. At each of our cores, we really are all innocent. Just because many of us have been programmed with ‘negative’ and/or ‘ignorant’ things, through no faults of our own, this does not make our inner, innocent selves out to be bad…
— So we REALLY need to love OURSELVES no matter what! Take some time to sit with yourself, be it via meditation, or spending more time alone…and learn to love yourself…just do it!

Not to mention his amazing weight loss of 178 pounds over the last 16 months, and he’s not stopping there. He’s going to go ALL the way with his health, and wants YOU too as well. This guy is a TRUE SUPERHERO!!
*****VIDEO #9 UPDATE*****
This week, Dave’s with me here at the RV making what may be the most powerful & amazing juice recipe that mankind has ever known…it’s…
❤ DAVE THE RAW FOOD TRUCKER’S 3-GALLON
SUPER SPECIAL LIFE-SAVING POWER JUICE !!! ❤
Yeah!!!! This is definitely one of those juicing recipes for good health!
Dave first wants to thank Dr. Gabriel Cousens, MD and his entire team at the Tree of Life http://treeoflife.nu for LITERALLY SAVING HIS LIFE. If it wasn’t for Dave reading Dr. Cousens’ book “There is a Cure for Diabetes” http://bit.ly/vZtsw or his friends Dave & Judit who recommended the book to him, who knows what would’ve happened!
These ingredients are what Dave uses to make 3 gallons worth of juice at once, so as to last him 3 days on the road. This is an ULTRA LOW-glycemic juice, the same juice Dave credits for helping to cure his body of Type II Diabetes & Stage IV Colon Cancer.
Dave is ALL about having his vegetables be 100% organic. As he healed himself of serious conditions & his body still isn’t done healing himself of all the excess weight, he feels this is vital. As for you, just do the best you can!
* I n g r e d i e n t s *
— 5 bunches Spinach (pulled straight from ground w/ stems intact; not just the leaves)
— 2 bunches Red Chard
— 3 bunches Collard Greens
— 3 bunches Kale
— 4 bunches Cilantro
— 1 bunch Fresh Basil
— 4 bunches Beet Greens (Dave ONLY juices the greens of the beets & NOT the actual beets because he’s still recovering from the diabetes. For those not recovering or healing from diabetes, feel free to juice the beets!
— 6 Red Bell Peppers
— 4 Yellow Bell Peppers
— 2 heads Fennel
— 4 heads Celery
— 12 Cucumbers (unpeeled if organic; peeled if inorganic)
— 2 dozen on-the-vine Tomatoes
— 3 heads Broccoli
— 1 pound Baby Bok Choy (or 1 bunch Bok Choy)
— 1 bunch Mustard Greens
— 4 bunches Parsley (2 Regular, 2 Italian)
— 1 bunch Asparagus
— 1 large Fresh Aloe Leaf (inorganic ok; organic is rarely available…also, only juice the lower portion of it & always juice a bit & taste, juice a bit & taste, as it can be VERY potent)
— 1 bottle of E3Live Algae
— Rainbow Light Advanced Systems Digestive Enzymes (to help control gas, especially when you first jump into a program like this! If you can’t find this brand, look for a type that’s raw vegan & whole-plant sourced)
* B e n e f i t s *
— Red Chard ~ High in betacarotene
— Collard Greens ~ High in phytonutrients
— Kale ~ Has the highest known level of phytonutrients in it that are digestible by humans (over 2x the level of spinach!)
— Beets ~ Beet green leaves have 2,000x the level of Vitamin K in them than the actual beets, so that’s why its worth it to Dave to buy them just for their greens!
— Bell Peppers ~ Great for flavor
— Celery & Cucumber ~ Function well as a hydrating juice base
— Tomatoes ~ Dave likes them because of the lycopene and chooses not to believe what they say about having to cook tomatoes in order to get more lycopene, for if you’re cooking tomatoes, you’re destroying the very enzymes that your body needs to digest the lycopene! What good is ingesting more lycopene if you can’t adequately digest, assimilate & utilize it?
— Aloe Leaf ~ Incredible for the cardiovascular system!
* I n s p i r a t i o n *
— Over the past 15 months or so, Dave estimates that he spent 150 NON-consecutive days just on juice. BarleyMax is like rocket fuel for Dave! http://BarleyMax.com
— Per liter of juice Dave drinks on the road, he throws in the contents of 1 fresh digestive enzyme capsule
— Dave has lost 188 pounds so far, is currently down to a size 40 pant & is on the fast-track to catching up with me! I better watch out!
— The cost of all of these vegetables for 3 gallons of juice to be drunk over a span of 3 days came to approx. $75.
➜ Is $25 a day really too much to save your life?
