How Did This Happen?

Most Common Causes of Weight Gain Sugar Intake Increased

Carbohydrate Intake Increased

Portion Sizes Increased

Physical Activity Decreased

Sugar and Carbohydrate Stats

Sugar Consumed in America

1800 4#/person/year

1975 118#/person/year

1998 158#/person/year

Carbohydrate Intake from Grains Inc 60#/ person/year from the late 1970’s to 2000

French vs. American Diet

Late 20th Century French Diet was higher in fat, had equal amounts of meat and fish, 4x's as much butter and cheese, and they had 60% less Heart Disease than US.

More About Fats From the mid 1980’s to mid 1990’s, the

% of daily calories from Fat in the American Diet, decreased from 40% to 33%, while obesity in increased significantly

From 1910 to 1970, Heart Disease escalated from almost non-existent to # 1 cause of death. During this time the intake of Animal & Butterfat significantly decreased, dietary cholesterol did not increase, while sugar intake increased dramatically

How Do We Gain Fat?Let’s look at the common scenario of

fatgaining that takes place, slowly but

surely over time, from too many carbs, too

many “empty calories”.

When blood sugar exceeds a certain level the body converts it to fat and stores it.

Next Carb Fix

Insulin and Glucagon• Insulin:• lowers elevated blood

sugar. • shifts our metabolism into

storage mode • removes dietary fat from

blood and transports it into fat cells.

• increases the body's production of cholesterol

• causes the kidneys to retain fluid

• stimulates the release of eicosanoids.

• Glucagon:• shifts metabolism into

burning mode• turns fat into blood sugar

for energy use.• decreases the bodies

production of cholesterol• causes the kidneys to

release excess fluid.• stimulates the release of

eicosanoids.

Insulin promoted eicosanoids:

• Promote platelet aggregation

• Promote vasoconstriction• Depress Immune Response• Are Pro-Inflammatory• Increase Pain

Transmission

The EicosanoidsGlucagon promoted

eicosanoids:

• Inhibit platelet aggregation

• Promote vasodilation• Stimulate Immune

Response• Are Anti-Inflammatory• Decrease Pain

So, How do We

Solve this Problem?

The Bad News is:

There is No Magic There is No Magic Pill to solve this Pill to solve this

problem.problem.

• “Natural Stimulants”, i.e. Ephedra and the many other “Fat Blockers”, “Carb Blockers”, “sleep your way to weight Loss, don’t change your lifestyle” products.

• Prescription Medications for Weight Loss, remember Fen, Phen?

• Lastly, “it is not the fault of your Genes”. When we take care of the body in the way it is designed to be cared for, it performs wonderfully and loses weight steadily.
