Why Low Carb Is High in Fat – Not Protein

How Low Carb is Low Carb?

Does the Brain Need Carbohydrates?

How Much Protein Should You Eat?

1 day ago by in Low Carb High Fat, Science & Health

How much is too much?

As we discussed last week, excessive protein is turned into glucose and then to fat. But how much protein is excessive? That’s the real question that stirs up all kinds of controversy. The Recommended Daily Allowance for an adult is 0.8 g/kg per day. How did we get that number? Let’s start at the beginning.

First, I am only dealing with the steady state here. If you are trying to build muscle (body building) then you would need more protein. If you are pregnant or breast feeding or a child still growing, then protein requirements are higher because you are trying to add protein to your body. This discussion only deals with adults at a relatively stable state. Continue Reading →

Vegan Vs. LCHF Cardiology Battle

5 days ago by in Diabetes, Dr. Aseem Malhotra, Heart Disease, Low Carb High Fat, The Obesity Epidemic

Is a low-fat vegan or an LCHF diet better for lowering the risks of diabetes, obesity and cardiovascular disease? If you want to hear the arguments for both sides, you can watch this video with Dr. Aseem Malhotra and the vegan-inclined Dr. Joel Kahn.

Skip to 1:48 unless you want to learn more about penile arteries:

Mind Body Green: Two Cardiologists Debate Fat, Sugar, And Coconut Oil

The common ground between the two debaters and cardiologists is that sugar is bad for you and lifestyle (movement, stress reduction, not smoking) is important in decreasing risk factors. When it comes to fat they predictably disagreed.

According to Dr. Naiman – from whom I’ve stolen the header to this post – there was a clear winner to the debate. What do you think?

Why Low Carb Is High in Fat – Not Protein

6 days ago by in Insulin, Low Carb High Fat, Weight Loss

A lot of protein

Why should a low-carb diet be high in fat, and not high in protein?

I’ve often recommended switching to a diet higher in natural fats and lower in refined carbohydrates. What’s the deal with dietary fat? Simply put, dietary fat does not raise insulin. And hyperinsulinemia is the main driver of obesity. Hyperinsulinemia means literally, high insulin in the blood (hyper means high, and -emia means blood levels).

So, logically, switching refined carbohydrates, which raise insulin significantly, for dietary fat, which does not, can lower insulin levels significantly even if you take the same total number of calories.

But what is so different about dietary fat compared to both protein and carbohydrates that makes this true? It all comes down to the different ways that proteins and fats are metabolized. Continue Reading →

How Much Fat Should You Eat on a Ketogenic Diet?

September 12 by in Dr. Ted Naiman, Ketosis, Low Carb High Fat, Weight Loss

How much fat should you eat on a ketogenic diet? That depends. Are you following a ketogenic diet for weight maintenance or weight loss?

Depending on the reason, you might want to formulate it slightly differently, as Dr. Ted Naiman illustrates with an example above.

If you want to lose weight, then you should be a bit careful about how much fat you’re adding. Do eat enough to feel satisfied – that’s important to make it sustainable. But more than that will slow down your weight loss. You want your body to burn off body fat rather than added dietary fat.

Once you reach a normal weight, you will need to add more fat to maintain it. You’ll know when that time comes as your hunger will increase. Just follow your hunger, there’s normally no need to ever count calories.

For more details watch the first interview with Dr. Naiman, below.
