8.10: news.health/zone/dr.sears
/whole beans are not zone protein
Dr.Sears`Mastering the zone, p10:
. bean protein digestion
is significantly incomplete
(in a typical nonanimal source of protein,
only 75 % of the protein is absorbed) .
[8.10:
. even if you did get
most of the bean's protein,
do you get the Zone diet's
glucagon-raising effect?
. the protein is raising glucagon
to spur the liver to produce brain fuel .]
. beans carry massive carb's;
so, consider them to be one of your carb's .
--[ perhaps he was just sympathising with
the popular conception that beans are
too gassy for a high-stress situation;
8.11: but,
if you got all your carb's from beans
(say, 80g of carb for one needing 60g protein),
then beans give 32g of protein;
and 70% of 32g absorbed is 24g
-- which is 40% of your 60g allotment!
just overlooked?! . he also says
never go over your protein allotment,
because it's a drug with consequences,
so, all considered, he might really mean
you should make beans just a side dish ?
8.27:
. in this article,
I find how to maximize the use of bean protein,
making sure the protein is balanced;
and determining how much is excreted with the fiber .
. finally I try to find what can be added
in order to raise glucogon without much insulin .]
8.29: summary:
. in a previous article on complete protein,
I had cited nutritiondata.com to show that
beans have complete protein
(important because beans = longevity);
however, growth optimization studies in rats
have shown that beans are short on
methionine, tryptophan, and, surprisingly,
could even use help with lysine
due to either the form or its required cooking .
. see bottom of this page, for a table of
amino acid percentages of various proteins .

missing the forest for the sugar trees
8.1: health/zone/Lustig/missing the forest for the sugar trees,
. this is a recap of the Dr.Lustig-coach debates .
. please note that while writing the following,
I was trying to understand a coach's view
without having any experience at being one;
if you'd like a good coach;
to learn how sugars can be your friend
see Dr.Lustig's debaters, Aragon and Hale:
. they have publications for not only
strength training and obesity control
but also how to do good health research:
# Alan Aragon's Research Review
# Aragon . Girth Control:
The Science of Fat Loss & Muscle Gain
. Jamie Hale's publications:
# Knowledge and Nonsense,
including Nutrition: Fact or Fiction
# MAXCONDITION
# Protein Essentials
# The Carbohydrate Files
. both appear on jpfitness.com's Nutrition forum:
# Hale has corrected Sugar Obesity myths
(notice the chiseled torso),
# Hale interviews Aragon,
# Aragon answers a question about subscriptions .
. in the debate with Dr.Lustig,
the coaches who defended simple sugars,
and esp'ly fructose,
were not sympathetic to Lustig's main point:
. not everyone has good coaches,
and they are getting caught in food abuse .
. it doesn't help a cocaine addict
to know that Dr.Freud could use responsibly;
what is most relevant here is
whether sugar is an abusable substance,
and can we do anything to curb abuse?
. the coaches certainly have a good reason
for supporting proper use of simple sugars:
there can be great gains in muscle-building
from the pulsing of insulin* and IGF
(insulin-like growth factor)
by properly applying the combination:
# whey or branched chain amino acids
(an insulin resistor and growth food)
# simple sugars (including both
the insulin-provoking glucose,
and the insulin-resisting fructose).
*(however, Aragon has reservations).
. some have even noted that proper pulsing
can increase testosterone levels
(testosterone can rise with insulin resistance),
while improper use that results in obesity
can lower testosterone
(converting it to estrogen).
. to get the proper effect from sugars
you need to be initially healthy,
with good insulin sensitivity,
assisted by peak resistance training,
or aerobic exercise,
and possibly fasting beforehand .
7.19: proper respect for context:
. chiseled fat-free bodybuilding
may depend on a chemistry
that can speed recovery without adding fat,
and that means refilling the liver's glycogen quickly
without having to worry about high glucose levels .
. for the most part, safe handling of glucose
means leaving it up to glycogen conversions,
and, on an empty liver (without glycogen)
fructose quickly provides this glycogen
because when empty,
the liver prefers converting fructose to
glycogen rather than to triglyceride .
. the general public is neither
pulsing their simple sugars properly
nor into peak-resistance exercising;
and, the sugar they use
is typically going straight to triglyceride!
. Dr.Lustig has linked abuse of sugar
to metabolic syndrome and obesity;
. Gary Taubes has linked cancer with
metabolic syndrome and obesity .
. this is a recap of the Dr.Lustig-coach debates .

calories-in = calories-out myth
7.12: health/calories in equals calories out myth:
. some promoters of the theory of
calories in equals calories out
explain that non-believers are citing
the myth of negative calorie foods:
that foods vary widely in the amount of
energy they require for digestion .
. while negative calorie foods is a myth
there are valid arguments against the
calories in equals calories out theory:
1: metabolic rates:
. some food vary your metabolic rate:
eg, mct oil is known to enhance thermogenesis;
whereas, some natural food toxins may
suppress metabolic rate;
eg, some potato preparations cause
insulin resistance .[7.31:
. I have only circumstantial evidence
against the splendid spud,
how would you explain its glycemic index
being higher than glucose itself?
my theory is that potato contains
an insulin resistor that prevents the body
from clearing glucose as rapidly .
. it is known that damaged potato skins
can be toxic,
but I have no data on what in potato
could be an insulin resistor .]
2: high-insulin mode:
. foods with a high glycemic index
are provoking excessive insulin release;
and high insulin levels can set your body
into fat preserving mode .
. when this mode is sustained by
regular use of a high-glycemic diet
fat is easy to put on, and hart to burn off,
even when you need more energy,
it will instead make you feel tired
to enforce the fat savings policy .
3: ketosis mode:
. Atkins also has well referenced case
that a carb-free, med-free diet
can promote a fat burning mode
that actually dumps calories out
with the feces and urine
as well as making body fat easier to burn .
. while other doctors debate the
healthiness of the Atkins diet,
they have no solid ref'backed counterarguments
to his zero-carb diet = fat burning mode theory
nor to his assertion that
obesity and high insulin mode
is far more dangerous than high fat diets
given the other stipulations of the Atkins diet
are heeded (high anti-oxidants, no peroxidzed oil,
few polyunsaturated fats except fishoil, ...).
. his diet does have medical complications
(kidney stress, ...)
and he does go against prior public medical advice
so, he puts other doctors in a bind
since their patients are now saying:
I need you to watch me do safely
what you warned me was unsafe .
. another complication is that
people cheat on diets,
and if you cheat on a high fat diet with
high-glycemic carbs,
that is a sure heart attack
because the carb's raise insulin,
while sat'fats cause insulin resistance,
thereby causing a very high insulin mode .

fructose | Chlorella is an antidote
7.24: news.health/fructose/Chlorella is an antidote:
. Chlorella is a nutritious
fresh water algae,
popular in Japan and Taiwan
that may reduce Insulin resistance
when used daily in several meals .
. the #1 cause of insulin resistance
is excessive fructose consumption,
according to Dr.Mercola,
referring to the modern diet high in
added fructose+glucose sweeteners .
. a rats-on-fructose-diet study showed
that chlorella undid some of the fructose's
insulin resistance .

safe-carb's Dr.Lustig
7.26: health/zone/safe-carb's Dr.Lustig
was the same as Jesus Christ:
going against the established culture
to make big improvements for even the least of us .
. his particular achievement was to reveal
that, contrary to conventional medical advice,
a high fat diet was actually
safer for your heart than a
low-fat, normal-carb diet;
-- at least when you were
obese and insulin resistant --
because, among the insulin resistant
there is carb intolerance,
so that what seems like normal carb intake
is actually perpetuating
insulin resistance and high insulin
-- by far the highest risk factors
for heart disease;
he also revealed that for those who were
highly insulin resistant,
a zero-carb diet was essential to
getting back your insulin sensitivity,
and getting back into fat-burning mode .
