Dr. Ray Strand of the medical advisory board spoke on the captioned topic.
Hypo-caloric diets are doomed to fail:
- low or v.low caloric intake (400 to 1,000 cals)
- tremendous reliance on will power
- many are high carb/low fat programs (isogenics, Jenny Craig, weight watchers)
Metabolic syndrome X - an underlying disease process
- central obesity - muscle becomes insulin resistant first
- high blood pressure
- low LDL
which happens because of oxidative stress which creates insulin resistance and therefore increases insulin levels => glycemic stress.
In 5 years diabetes +500%.
Triglycerides/HDL >2 => insulin resistance.
25% adults have metabolic syndrome (Ford, JAMA).
1/3 of children today will become diabetic (CDC).
45% of diabetes in children today is Type 2.
Children given high GI meals ate 80% more calories in a day.
Then there's a techincal looking curve which shows a graph over 20 years where as insulin resistance increases then so does fasting plasma glucose with a corresponding reduction in insulin production leading to Type 2 diabetes.
1. Healthy diet - low GI carbs, good fats and proteins
2. Modest exercise
3. Cellular nutrition - USANA's Essentials or HealthPak 100
Transition with products:
a) Start with RESET (5-day high fibre cleanse);
b) followed by Phase 1 maintenance with two meal replacments and one low GI meal and snack; and
c) followed by Phase 2 maintenance with with one meal replacment and two low GI meals and snacks.
