With so much conflicting information out there on nutrition and weight loss, it's difficult for the average person to not only find out what works, but also understand how to apply it. In order to help clear the air, I'm going to dispel some of the myths that are floating around and give you some facts backed up with real science on how the human body actually metabolizes food. First, let's talk about why the low-carb approach is so popular. There are a few reasons, but the most common is that people are finally realizing that the low-fat/high carb approach that has been promoted for decades now just doesn't work! Not only is it making us fatter, it's also responsible for dozens of diseases and illnesses. It's true??¦..most Americans eat too many carbs and are deficient in the healthy dietary fats. ? However, it seems that it has to be one extreme or the other with people in this country. So now many people are cutting carbs and avoiding them like the plague, which is just as bad. But wait??¦..you say that it works? ? Maybe you or someone you know has tried the low-carb approach and noticed significant weight loss. Yes, cutting carbs will cause you to lose weight, but not much actual body fat, if any at all. So,why do most people lose weight so quickly? It's because the human body holds 2.4g of water for every 1 gram of carbohydrate consumed. ? Cut the carbs and all you do is hold less water! This artificial weight loss is the main reason so many people are going low-carb. So, not only does following a low-carb diet cause you to lose water, it also depletes muscle glycogen which leaves you feeling sluggish when trying to be active or workout. ? Remember, carbs are stored as glycogen in the muscles and glycogen is what's used to fuel your muscles. Another problem with severely limiting carbs is that the brain uses carbs for energy and without enough carbs, you won't be 100% mentally. While I agree that people are different and that some people do better on lower amounts of carbs, most people will feel like crap after a week or two with no or low carbs. But all the fitness and nutrition `gurus' say that carbs are stored as fat, right? ? WRONG! ? Any excess energy (food or beverage) can be stored as fat - it doesn't matter if it's french fries or salad! Extra is extra is extra! To my knowledge, there has not been but one study that actually measured body fat of individuals following a low-carb both before and after to see exactly how much body fat was lost. Plus, this study was funded by a grant from Dr. Atkins! Also, there is quite a bit more research that shows that carbs are not only ok to eat, but that they also contain vital nutrients that can't be found in other foods. Jesse Cannone is a certified personal fitness trainer, post-rehab specialist, nutritionist, and a national fitness presenter. He is also the author of Burn Fat FAST and A Bride's Guide To Fast Fitness + Weight Loss in addition to many other popular fitness articles. He is known for his hard-hitting and to the point style and offers a great free email newsletter called Fitness Success News, which you can subscribe to at his website http://www.achieve-fitness.com *** Please take the time visit Jesse Cannone's site for some more great information. The rest of her article will be in next months issue - Part II. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Direct Sponsor AD's ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1. Want Fresh Ebooks and Software? With Resale and Reprint Rights?

Farm raised salmon has more fat than fresh salmon. Why? It is noted that the farm fed salmon has more fat in their feed that the farmers give them therefore creating more fat on it's body. Salmon that is fresh eats from the natural waters and has less fat and is better for you. 2. Cholesterol Drugs Can Cause Cancer? Shocking news, plus mother nature's cholesterol alternatives work better with no side affects! 3. The pure-natural cholesterol supporting alternatives are safer and more effective than you can image. Vitamin B recommended by doctors world wide, Niacin Flush Free is the name. Red Yeast Rice helps your liver control LDL levels (Bad cholesterol). When you improve circulation you automatically improve cholesterol levels. Lecithin can be bought in softgels to help improve circulation. 4. Stomach agony? Find relief with this all natural herb. This herb has done wonders for thousands of people when nothing else has. A cup of Fenugreek tea taken twice daily works to lubricate the intestines, cleaning out poisonous toxins that build up in the body's system causing improper food digestion. Lower back pain and that general feeling of tiredness is often associated with stomach troubles. Fenugreek is a thoroughly tried remedy that brings the best results for gas, acid stomach, colic and spasms. ============================================================ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 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. Here we go, they are starting to come in. A BIG thanks to Lisa for allowing us to use her comments in our ezine. She has a great ezine give it a try at http://lisareddell. com. Durard, Pam and Shannon! I'm a new reader and I just wanted to let you know that my first issue I received of ANew Weight Loss was awesome!! The article, "Does Excess Protein Turn to Fat? An Anatomy Lesson" by Maia Appleby was very interesting, as I guess I never thought about what happens to what we eat. ? The Mississippi Mud Cake recipe is excellent; I've eaten it before. ? Oh, and your freebies section with the tips was terrific! ? I never knew Dawn dishwashing liquid would do that! ? Live and learn:) Anyway, great issue! Thanks for all you do! Warmest regards, Lisa Reddell, Editor :`) Publisher, The Left Handed Times mailto: editor@lisareddell.com http://www.lisareddell.com It's people like Lisa who you can really appreciate that take the time to let us know how we are doing. We appreciate all comments whether good or bad and from all of our readers. Take time and visit her site for some great information. BTW - We would love to hear from you so let's get those fingers typing and send us a line or two. Let us know what you think. We dare you! Double dare you! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Publisher's Messages ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Just a few quick tips today to help you out through the day on being more healthy. 1. Sip Water Throughout The Day - Hydrate for health. Water cools and detoxifies the body, improves circulation and digestion, and fuels muscle. A healthy adult needs 3 liters of fluid daily. 3. Add More Fiber To Your Diet - Fiber increases energy, assists with digestion and may also help with weight loss and improve skin clarity. Favorite fibers: oatmeal, brown rice, lentils and whole wheat flour. You can now find a good variety of the fibers that are high in carbohydrates now being sold in low carbohydrates in your local grocery stores. I bought some of the low carb wheat bread and it tasted great. It was good to eat bread again and still watch my carbs. I tend to be a carbohydrate eater and guess what? My body does not burn those carbs. Thumbs up for the low carbs. However there is a twist to that. Still have to watch those bad fats that are in the low carb products. Yep you can't win for losing. But at least it's a start in being able to make better choices when shopping. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Good, the Bad & the Ugly ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The bad news is that if you read the list of ingredients on a snack or baked food item, you may find "partially hydrogenated soybean oil" or "hydrogenated cottonseed oil" or another variation of these terms, such as margarine. Do you think that sounds good? Think again. Hydrogenated oils are artificially hardened oils that contain trans fats. They are used to increase shelf life and enhance the texture of certain foods, including many snack foods, candies, fried foods and baked goods. Trans fats also occur naturally in animal products such as butter. In recent years, research has indicated that there are health risks associated with the consumption of trans fats, including a direct link to heart disease. Food manufacturers were recently given a deadline by the FDA to label the amount of trans fats on their products by 2006. The GOOD news is that there are delicious, healthier and equally satisfying products made without hydrogenated oils. Although you can find them at selected stores or health food markets they do offer a huge selection. One store I found that I really love is called the Wild Oats. It's the first store that I found low carb & low fat crackers. I even found low carb & no fat cheese. Can you believe that, cheese! It tasted great to be able to eat these occasionally and not feel guilty. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Recipes of the Month ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I hope everyone enjoyed last month's recipes as much as I did. Here is a delicious way to start off your Valentine's Day with a Strawberry Special. Enjoy! Strawberry Special 1 1/2 cups sifted Pillsbury's Best Regular Flour *see note 1 cup sugar 1 cup Nestle's Strawberry Quick 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 6 eggs, separated 1/2 teaspoon cream of tarter 1/2 cup water 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 teaspoon almond extract Oven 350 degrees ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? 10 - inch tube cake Sift flour with 1/2 cup sugar, Quik, baking powder and salt into small mixing bowl. Combine egg whites and cream of tarter in large mixing bowl. Beat with mixer at high speed until soft mounds form. Gradually add 1/2 cup sugar, continue beating until very stiff, straight peaks form. DO NOT UNDERBEAT. Add egg yolks, water, vanilla and almond extracts to dry ingredients. Beat 1 minute at medium speed. Fold egg yolk mixture, 1/3 at a time, into beaten egg whites, GENTLY but thoroughly, using a wire whip or rubber spatula. Pour into ungreased 10 - inch tube pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 50 to 60 minutes. Invert immediately. Cool completely before removing from pan. Cut cake horizontally to make 3 layers. Fill and top layers with Strawberry Fluff. Chill **NOTE: For use with Pillsbury's Best Self-Rising Flour, omit baking powder and salt. Strawberry Fluff Beat 1 1/2 cups heavy cream with 1/3 cup Nestle's Strawberry Quik and 1/4 teaspoon almond extract until thick. Optional: Decorate around the cake with fresh strawberries. This is an excellent cake for Valentines Day or for a spring or summer desert. ============================================================ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Recommended Ezines ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Natural Pet News" - Twice-monthly - pet health news, success stories of pet owners using natural remedies, emotional and behavior tips, featured web links, and more. http://www.healthypetcorner.com/petnews.html ? ? ? ? ? ~ NANA'S HEALTHY KIDS - New Free Email Newsletter Twice-monthly newsletter on children's health.
