Dr Kern's job with the Corn Refiners Association is to review articles in rebuttal to unbiased scientific inquiry that links HFCS to any kind of health problem. A large study regarding the increased incidence of diabetes worldwide was published in November 2012. Marion Nestle (author of "Food Politics") states: "The latest…

Dr. Mark Kern is hired by the Corn Refiner's Association. The Corn Refiners Association (CRA) is the national trade association representing the corn refining (wet milling) industry of the United States. CRA and its predecessors have served this segment of American agribusiness since 1913. Corn refiners manufacture…

I stay away from bread, potatoes, white rice, pasta, sugar and processed foods as much as humanly possible, which most people would consider a "low carb" way of eating. My plate usually consists of a protein, lots of low glycemic load vegetables and a fruit. Goal is about 1400 cal a day, more calories on exercise days. I…

Denny's - Fit Slam - ask for side of veggies instead of english muffin. Total cal is under 250.

You probably want something you don't have to water often. http://www.lot-lines.com/the-20-best-xeriscape-plants-for-colorado

Ricin comes from the castor bean. "One of the most dangerous poisons known, ricin, is a lectin derived from the seeds of the castor bean Ricinus communis (not a true bean and totally unrelated to the legume family Fabaceae); this is not, however, the same lectin found in beans and other legumes. Kidney beans and fava beans…

1. Mushrooms - do not wash prior to storing in fridge, place them in brown paper bag, then that brown paper bag into a plastic bag, store in fridge - the brown paper bag absorbs any moisture the mushrooms make on their surface - the plastic bag prevents the mushrooms from drying up - if you don't use the mushrooms in…

I would be cautious about using supplements, read the labels, know what you are consuming. Some of them have DMAA, a stimulant, which has been associated with recent deaths of young, healthy males. http://www.nytimes.com/2013/03/17/business/a-soldiers-parents-take-aim-at-gnc-and-a-supplement-maker.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0

When you blend fruits into smoothies, the fiber is manually broken down, and you get decreased benefits from the fruit fiber. Fiber slows down digestion of the glucose in fruits. The glucose from the fruits goes into your blood stream a lot quicker when you take your fruit in the form of a smoothie. Your pancreas reacts to…

I would measure or at least guesstimate all your food intake at first, until you get very good at estimating volume. ie 3 oz is a deck of cards, one oz cheese is about the size of your thumb, half cup is a handful. Most people vastly underestimate amount/volume of food they are eating, everyone is used to huge portions at…

Yes, its quite possible. If too much time passes between meals (greater than 5 hours), I start getting a mild headache. The brain uses a lot of glucose to function, that being said, glucose comes from a variety of whole food sources, not just candy. I eat 3 nutrient dense meals a day and 3 snacks in between, so I am never…

It would be better to brown your chicken, then veg in a bit of olive oil, add real herbs such as thyme, parsley, minced garlic clove, a tiny bit of rosemary (too much gives it a "piney" taste), add 1 tsp fresh lemon zest, fresh lemon juice without seeds and bit of white wine if you need liquid for your crock pot. I split a…

I was recommended the book "Metabolism Miracle" by my health care provider, there is also a cookbook by the same author. Both were very helpful in helping me change my diet and restoring my health. I started a very low glycemic diet 18 months ago, the very low carb period lasted 8 weeks, gradually re-introduced…

Yes, x 29 yrs, last 22 yrs part-time ED. Food/exercise diary is open. :smile:

A lot of bad advice was floating around in the 60's/70's/80's. "Don't eat any food whatsoever, fast, drink water only and bouillion a few times a day for the salt." I actually did this twice when I was 15 years old (39 years ago), for a week at a time. I remember feeling ravenously hungry and actually faint at times.…

Willpower is finite. When we are well rested, feel good, are busy with other things, we can pretty much resist a lot of temptations. Trouble comes later in the day when we are tired, want soothing and we give into temptation. 1. Set yourself up for success in the future by controlling your environment. Remove all foods…

I am assuming you are eating the brown rice as a side dish in addition to a main protein course. Try making it with low fat chicken broth and a tablespoon of CostCo's no-salt seasoning, instead of plain water. If you are ambitious and have time, adding aromatics such as onions, garlic, mushrooms, celery, carrots, parsley,…
