Mastering the Zone: The Next Step in Achieving SuperHealth and Permanent Fat Loss 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
NOW Foods Zma, 90 Capsulesstrength 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
VieNue TestoCell MAX - Testosterone Cream for Menfrom 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 sugarsProgesterone (Bioidentical) 2 % Creme 2 oz. Jar - Unscented & Paraben-Free
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
Why We Get Fat: And What to Do About Itglycogen 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 .

calories-in = calories-out myth

7.12:  health/calories in equals calories out myth:
. some promoters of the theory of
calories in equals calories outWhy We Get Fat: And What to Do About It
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:
NOW Foods Mct 100% Oil, 32-Fluid Ounceseg, 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 caseAtkins for Life: The Complete Controlled Carb Program for Permanent Weight Loss
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

Sun Chlorella Granules 3 grams 100 PacketsNOW Foods Chlorella 1000mg, 120 Tablets7.24: 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

reincarnation of saint Atkins found!

. the spirit of Dr.atkins
was the same as Jesus Christ:
going against the established culture
to make big improvements for even the least of us .
The Great Cholesterol Con: The Truth About What Really Causes Heart Disease and How to Avoid It. 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
Why We Get Fat: And What to Do About It-- 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 .

frankenberry lives after golfcart nightmare

7.2: news.pol/obama/frankenberry lives after golfcart nightmare:
Franken Berry Cereal 9.6 oz - 4 Unit Pack. on Whad'Ya Know? Live, (RealAudio)
Michael Feldman was asked about
frankenberry cereal being discontinued;
. wiki sources say the strawberry-flavored
corn and marshmallows cereal
is still in production .
. the myth was addressed at retroist.com:
"( Contrary to popular belief
Franken Berry and Boo Berry
have not been discontinued.
They are just not as popular as Count Chocula
so they get a more sporadic nationwide release.
Best time to look for them?
Halloween, of course.)
. similarly themed cereals that were discontinued
include:
# ('83) Fruit Brute:
Monster Cereal TrilogyFrosted fruit-flavored cereal
with lime flavored marshmallows .
with a Werewolf Mascot .
# ('93) Fruity Yummy Mummy:
Frosted fruit-flavored cereal
with vanilla-flavored marshmallows .
. other such cereals still in production
include Count Chocula, and Boo Berry .

General Mills FrankenBerry Cereal, 9.6 oz (Pack of 6). Feldman has been attacked by 
anti-liberals on his show
and our most popular breakfast berry
is the nearly-obama-colored blueberry,
so, it occured to me this was a joke about
Obama's serial presidency plans
 being discontinued .

. in the same program,
'Reckless Golfcart' Wall Decal - 18"W x 18"H Removable GraphicFeldman had a political routine where
callers were asked if they had seen any
congressmen on the road .
. the final entry of that joke sequence
was that Obama and his VP
 were seen on a golfcart
with a sign that read "(fool and tool) .

. the golf cart joke may refer to a ridiculed
tax rebate for road-worthy golfcarts .
. that was back in 2009,
but is painfully relevant now
as a republican congress threatens to
deny raising the debt limit ceiling .
. the golf cart was news again June 18
when the top leaders of both parties
had a round of golf at a time when the hot policy
included the debt ceiling
and the Libya actions that Congress was against .
