Let the fun beging!


-People that crave sugar may be lacking from enough total calories in their diet or they may not have enough fat in their diet. It is also possible for people to be suffering from a fungal infection or gluten intolerance. One recommendation to help the cravings is to mix glutamine in water any time you feel the cravings come on. You can get glutamine at any nutrition store. Mix a tablespoon in a glass of water and drink


-When consuming meat it is important to only eat 100% grassfed meat. It is important to differentiate organic meat versus grassfed. Organic may not always be grassfed. By consuming grassfed meat you will avoid all of the hormones and antibiotics. You will also ingest a better ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acids. Most industrial animal feed raises the levels of omega-6 fatty acids, which negatively affects our health. It is important to consume as much omega-3’s as possible.

-Do not eat soy at all unless it is tempeh, miso, or edamame. It is extremely important to only eat fermented soy products. Non-fermented soy has adverse affects on the thyroid gland, which can cause lots of serious diseases. One ingredient to be aware of is soy protein isolate. Julie stated that she has seen many instances of soy protein isolate consumption causing women’s hair to fall out. Soy milk has 20 times more manganese than breast milk. High levels of manganese in children have been linked to A.D.D. For more information read “The Whole Soy Story” by Dr. Kaayla Daniel.

-Salt should only be consumed if there is color to it. Salt should be grey, beige, or pink. Traditional table salt, being white, has been stripped of all its minerals. They claimed that table salt was pretty much poison. Consuming a product like Celtic Sea Salt is much better for you.

-As I have stated many times, high fructose corn syrup is one of the worst things you can ingest. It has been linked to negatively affecting eyesight among many other things. As the incidence of high fructose corn syrup increased in American’s diets so did the level of obesity and disease.

-When selecting a whey protein make sure that it has a high immunoglobin content and that the container says “low heat treated.” Otherwise you are getting a low quality whey protein. They also recommend rotating the protein powders you use to avoid building a sensitivity. One recommended brand was Whey Stronger.

-A good source of omega-3 fatty acids is flax seed. It is better to get the milled seeds than the oil. Either way make sure to refrigerate upon opening. Flax seed can help lower the amount of estrogen-16 in women’s bodies. Estrogen-16 causes fat storage in the hips and thighs among other things.
People whose body fat is stored in the belly have too high levels of stress hormone. One cause of high levels of stress hormone is too much steady state cardio.

-A good post-workout shake should be consumed immediately after finishing exercising. An ideal drink for someone who is relatively lean would use one part whey concentrate to four parts maltodextrin or some form of carbohydrate. If you have a higher body fat percentage, use more protein.
An interesting issue was that eating eggs everyday is bad. Ideally always eat free range eggs, but even doing that everyday can lead to an egg sensitivity. They recommend eating eggs every few days.
The most important supplements to take.

-Fish oil is a healthy source of omega-3 fatty acids. Fish oil has been shown to decrease inflammation and increase brain function. Charles also claimed that the consumption of fish oil has been linked to helping every known disease in history. When selecting a fish oil make sure it is medical grade and that it comes in a dark bottle. They also recommend varying the brands of fish oil you consume to avoid building a tolerance. Fish oil must be refrigerated after opening.

-A good multivitamin will help meet nutritional deficiencies. In order to find a good multi look at the kind of magnesium in the vitamin. If it is magnesium oxide the vitamin is worthless. Also, the manganese content should be as low as possible, with less than 5-7 grams per day.

-They also recommend consuming a good green drink a day. A green drink is a combination of lots of healthy vegetables in a powdered form that when added to water makes a healthy drink. Recommended brands were Paleogreen or Green’s First.

The top five supplements for fat loss
Fish oil
Magnesium
Multivitamin
CLA or Conjugated Linoleic Acid
Green Drink

That is a brief explanation of all that was covered at the seminar. The overall message was, eat whole, unprocessed foods that are best for you individually. That means finding out what your nutritional needs are, whether you try using metabolic typing or personally visiting Dr. Bruce Fong at Sierra Integrative Medical Center. They said that the upcoming trends in nutrition will be the increasing individual evaluation of nutritional needs and that food will be viewed as medicine when used properly. Interesting food for thought

Some other notes are following, some thing are said twice. Mean it's twice important?

Snippets


If over 10% body fat for a man, or over 15-20% for a woman, you are fat.

The stronger your immune system, the easier it is to gain muscle and lose fat.

The more insulin you produce, the faster you age.

The best predictor of lifespan is muscle mass and strength


=Supplements=


Omega 3 Fatty Acids from pharmaceutical grade fish oils are the most valuable supplement you can take. The subject should take 15g/day for two weeks if deficient, then reduce the dosage to 5g/day indefinitely after that. Fish oils will help burn fat and prevent fat gain. They improve serotonin levels (mood), make it easier to move nutrients in and out of cell walls, reduce joint inflammation, decrease the amount of sugar your body will absorb, improves blood pressure and decrease insulin output when taken with a meal.

You should take it throughout the day and rotate your source of EFA’s every 10 days. Krill Oil is the best source as it also eliminates PMS and you don’t need high doses of this type of oil.


Fat people should not consume carbs post-workout. The best Post workout drink for a 200lb overweight man is: Whey Isolate 60g + Glutamine 20-80g + Glycine 20g. This will replenish glycogen while preventing fat gain.


Licorice Root Cream can be rubbed on the abdominal as it will aid in burning fat from the stomach. The trade name is called Glycgel.


Adaptogens such as Red Korean Ginseng can help you recuperate from stress and tough workouts. Rhodiola Rosea is a very powerful adaptogen; take it when you need energy. It is a Cortisol Modulator, meaning that if your cortisol is too low it will help you raise it and if too high, it will help you lower it. Take only 1 tab per day, as it is very potent. Stevia is a natural sweetener and a great adrenal recovery aid. Cold Fx is also a surprisingly good product. It is good for adrenaline glands, fat loss, decreasing insulin output, and regenerates the pancreas.


To help men raise testosterone Charles recommends the following. Zinc is low in all active men and plays an important role in test production. Zinc arginic is best, no more than 30mg/day. Holy Basil also helps raise testosterone.


As for estrogen, DIM is a strong anti-estrogen that specifically targets the bad estrogens caused by phyto-estrogens in our environment.


R-ALA is anabolic and promotes fat burning, only the R for is good, the S form of ALA is counter productive. It is an anti-oxidant that also promotes glucose transport into muscle cells. As well it Increases the metabolic rate and decreases insulin output.


Acetyl-L-Carnitine is a healthy stimulant; it also improves memory and is anti-aging for the brain. It too increases insulin sensitivity.


Charles recommends that one uses a good multi-vitamin when attempting to lose fat as fat loss releases toxins that are stored in your fat and your body will need all the vitamins and minerals it can get to fight these toxins.


Estrogen “16” is a bad form of estrogen in our bodies that we want to eliminate, supplements that combat estrogen “16” are Broccoli extract, DIM and Green Tea


Taurine is an amino acid that increases insulin sensitivity, increases cell communication, and increase carb metabolism.


Magnesium Chelates are the key to preventing diabetes; everyone who is active is deficient in it, and it is this deficiency that creates diabetes. Magnesium also increases insulin sensitivity. One should Rotate the types of Mag, just make sure they all end in “ate”. Take it after 4:00pm, as it will improve your sleep.


All stimulants raise cortisol, which is bad so use them sensibly. As for the fat burning supplement ephedrine, you do not need much ephedrine (8mg) to stimulate fat burning.


If asparagus makes your urine smell you are deficient in Vitamin B9 and B12. Taking these B vitamins will help prevent Alzheimer’s



=Training=


High intensity interval training burns more calories overall than long slow cardio. The bulk of these calories are burned post exercise. Intervals should consist of 40 sec – 2 min on, and 1 minute off. These sessions should last a max of 42 minutes total including warm-up. The bad news is that the workouts must be very intense, as the subject must get to nausea in order to produce enough lactic acid. Luckily 2 sessions per week is all that is needed to lose fat at a noticeable rate. The catch is that velocity without resistance is useless, so going really fast is not the answer. Working really hard against resistance is the solution.


Continuous aerobic work (long jogs) raises cortisol, which in turn makes you fatter in the long run. So don’t bother doing it unless it is sport specific training.


For strength training, vary the program every 25 days; everything works, but only for a short time. Vary the exercises often so you overload the muscles at different points. You must surprise the muscles with something new in order to force it to adapt. Other possible changes include rest time, muscle grouping, tempo, etc.



=Diet=


Approximately 75% of people are carb intolerant and should not be eating grains; the grains are getting people fat. The first step is to get the Omega 3’s in balance by taking hi-quality fish oils. You must eat protein with every meal even breakfast. A meat and nut breakfast will make you leaner even if you do not change the rest of your diet. It is best if you rotate the meat each breakfast. Eat 6-7 meals per day with protein plus smart fats in every meal.


A long-term low carbohydrate diet is the solution for fat people even after they have lost the fat. To begin the diet, eat only meat, fish, eggs, cheese and vegetables (50g of carbs per day or less). Follow this diet for 14 days then have a cheat day, eat whatever you want for the entire day. Return to the ultra low carb diet and have a cheat meal (one sitting) every 4th or 5th day.

Once you are starting to lean out you can add berries to the diet. They are strong antioxidants and low glycemic.


As you get leaner still you can introduce the Orange family of fruits.


As you get leaner again you can add Plums, nectarines, peaches and apples.


Then grapes and bananas


Then the root vegetables such as yams, and sweet potatoes


Then rice, the darker the better


The last food to add is grains, and it should never be added for those that are carb intolerant. (If eating carbs made you fat)


A no or low gluten diet is a good thing, it interferes with reaction time.


Stick with this diet 80% of the time and you will do fine and not stressed out by it. Eat more vegetables.


Do not eat Peanut Butter, even the natural kind; it contains a mould that has phyto-estrogens in it.


Fructose syrup is the most fattening food we know of and it ages you; avoid it at all costs.


Have your cheat meal late in the day instead of early when you are likely to keep eating bad the rest of the day. The best cheat meals have some nutritional value
