An Anatomy Lesson by Maia Appleby, http://www.shapeupshop.com Everyone knows that overeating leads to excess weight. This concept comes in many flavors these days, though. Some people think that carbohydrates are the culprit. Others think it's sugar. Some people think that eating lots of protein couldn't possibly make them gain weight. Hmmm... The only way to determine the answer to this enigma is to go inside the human body and take a look at how fat gets there in the first place. Let's follow a bite of pepperoni pizza and see what happens to its sugar, fat and protein. Open wide! The food enters your mouth: Saliva contains enzymes that break any starch in the food down to sugar. This, along with any fat and water in the food, travel to the stomach, which churns them up. Pepsin (an enzyme that digests protein) and hydrochloric acid further break down the food, turning it into a substance called chyme. The mixture enters the duodenum, (the place where the gall bladder secretes its bile). This bile dissolves the fat in water, thinning it out and making it easier to absorb. Enzymes from the pancreas enter the duodenum and further break down the sugar, fat and protein. Now everything is dissolved and is in fluid form, so it is absorbed through the lining of the small bowel. Fat, sugar and protein wave good-bye to each other and go their separate ways. What happens to the sugar: It also goes directly into the blood stream, and several different organs take the sugar they need as it passes by. Some is stored in the liver as glycogen. Whatever is left is converted to fat and stored in fat cells with the excess fat above. What happens to the fat: First, it goes into the blood stream and travels to the liver The liver burns some of the fat, converts some to other substances (one is cholesterol) and sends the rest to fat cells, where they wait until they are needed. What happens to the protein: It is broken down into building blocks known as peptides. Then, it is further broken down and it becomes amino acids. The amino acids are absorbed through the small intestine's lining and enter the blood stream. From here, some of the amino acids build the body's protein stores. Excess amino acids are converted to fats and sugars and follow the paths described above. This is such a simple concept, but many people still believe that consuming lots and lots of protein will put muscle on their bones. Don't be fooled by this notion! Even excess protein turns to fat. Here is a picturesque illustration of the real cause of weight gain. Eating too much food! Dietary fat is obviously the substance most often stored as fat in the ends, but no matter what you eat, your body takes whatever it can't use and sends it to fat cells. ? If you don't burn it off or expel it, it hangs around in your fat cells, no matter what it consists of. *** Please take the time visit Maia's site for some more information. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Direct Sponsor AD's ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1.

The reason is with all the hype on low carb and low fat, it seems that the Aktins Diet has been chosen I believe because it's popularity and of course it's effectiveness. The South Beach Diet has been on TV and been said to be better than the Aktins Diet and after reading and applying myself to it I can see why. I will touch more on that later. ============================================================ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Readers Corner ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Let's get those articles in for the next issue. Send in those tips and comments you have. We all want to hear what you have to share. So how did you like the Christmas free download? It is a favorite of mine. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Publisher's Messages ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Low Carb? Let's get back to the fact that the Aktins Diet seems to be making a big splash with the fast food chain. I have to say I am not surprised, however is it a healthier way to eat? Yes it is and it seems that there is a new awakening to eating low carb and low fat. Did I say low fat? So why is the fast food chain leaving out the fat content and only advertising low carb? I am still wondering about that question. Are we blinded by something that is actually low carb in the fast food chain that we have forgotten about the low fat? Isn't that what the Aktins diet is all about, low carb, low fat, more protein? One thing for sure is when I ordered myself a sub wrap I loved the feeling of eating something from a fast food chain that was low carb. However I was brought back to reality when I asked the manager what the fat content was in the wrap. I was not surprised to his answer, as it was I don't know. So you see even though you are eating something that is low in carbs you can still be eating the wrong kind of FAT. Did you notice the dressing and the cheese they put on those wraps? It doesn't mention anywhere that it is low fat or fat free cheese & dressing? You see they reeled you in with the low carb craze. The one thing the Aktins diet does not teach you is eating the right kind of carbs, the right fat and the right protein. To me this diet is not realistic. The South Beach Diet is a great diet and has been on TV as being a better diet and more realistic than the Aktins diet. This information was being told by several doctors that compared the two diets. Yes it is similar to the Aktins diet however in The South Beach Diet it shows what good carbs are and good fat and includes the right kind of protein to eat. Recipes are more realistic and the program of food is easier to stick with. Whether or not you buy the book in the stores or order the limited edition from Roadale.com you will be starting a great weight loss program that you can apply to your everyday life. That is why I am giving this diet a thumbs up. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Good, the Bad & the Ugly ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Coricidin HBP - Cough and Could medicine ? ? ? ? Verses ? Ephedrine/MaHaung Both these products are good products and both have been abused. The only difference is one is a supplement and the other an over the counter medication. Some teenagers and young adults, are deliberately ingesting large amounts of Coricidin?? HBP?” for cough and Cold. It has been said that as many as 15 tablets at one time, and they get the stuff right off the shelf at the neighborhood supermarket or drugstore. Authorities say a growing number of teenagers are using over-the-counter cold medicines and cough syrup in excessive doses as recreational drugs -- seeking what they describe as an LSD-like "high" from dextromethorphan, a non-prescription cough suppressant, an active ingredient of such products as Robitussin D and Coricidin D. If you can remember, the cough suppressant abuse has been around for sometime now. It's really nothing new. According to the DEA. "The abusers report a heightened sense of perceptual awareness, altered time perception and visual hallucinations." Most are discovering the practice on the Internet(Teen jargon: Dxing, Robo-trippin' and tussin.) or from friends at school. Because the medications can be acquired legally, there is no means for tracking this kind of abuse. However you can also aquire Ephedrine/MaHaung legally. Take a guess which one of these products will be banned? The FDA is going to ban the use of Ephedrine/MaHaung a natural supplement because of reported deaths due to abuse. This product has been used safely for many generations and has helped many lose weight. When taken as directed like any kind of medication it is safe. Anything that you take whether it be over the counter or in a supplement has to be taken as directed and that includes vitamins. But the FDA is not big on supplements and it would ruin the prescription business if everyone added natural remedies to their everyday routine. I am not saying ignore your doctor by no means, but when you have tried everything there is and there has been no improvement there are other alternatives that do work. It's too bad more doctors do not use these methods along with their practices. I believe that if they are going to take away Ephedrine/ MaHaung then they ought to be looking harder into the real life killers that people abuse. What about alcohol, tobacco, and now this Coricidn HBP. I wonder who is wearing the blinders now? Do you think for one minute they will pull the Coricidin HBP cough and cold medication from the shelves? I think that this will blow over and not hang on like the information that has been so wrongly been put out over the years about Ephedrine/MaHaung. Next month we will give you information on the Ephedrine/ MaHaung craze. We will show you how safe and effective it is and also on cases where people abuse the product. Let's face it, there are so many over the counter products people abuse that we don't even know of that have caused deaths. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Recipes of the Month ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I hope everyone enjoyed last month's recipes as much as I did.
