What are we recommended to eat?
Time Magazine, September 2011
Nutrition Guidelines
Began in 1980: Food Guide Pyramid
Nutrition Guidelines
MyPyramid 2005
Nutrition Guidelines
MyPlate 2011
Do we see huge changes in nutrition recommendations over
the last 30 years?
What do you think?
Are we a healthy nation?
“F” as in Fat Report 2012 Adult obesity rose in 16 states over the
past year (2008-2010 data). No decreases.
12 states have obesity rates over 30%. Mississippi highest (34.4%); Colorado
lowest (19.8%). Obesity related diseases: diabetes, heart
disease, hypertension, cancer still high. 2030? Obesity rates will reach 44%, and in
13 states it will be over 60%!

Side Effects
But… Obesity and obesity-related diseases
can be prevented and reversed! Best method?
CHANGE IN LIFESTYLE!!!
Are the current recommendations correct?
Evidence Report NIH 1998
In 1995, the NIH convened the first Expert Panel on the Identification, Evaluation, and Treatment of Overweight and Obesity in Adults to develop clinical practice guidelines for primary care practitioners.
What do they recommend?
Treatment of Overweight/Obesity ≥ 55% energy from carbohydrates ≤ 30% energy from fat Roughly 15% energy from protein
CHOFATPRO
What are we currently told? CDC: “you must use up more calories
than you take in… since one pound [of fat] equals 3,500 calories reduce 500-1000 calories per day to lose 1 to 2 pounds per week.”
Mayo Clinic: “when it comes to weight loss, it’s calories that count.”
What are we currently told? NIH Weight-control Information Network:
“to lose weight you need to take in fewer calories than you use.”
ADA: “you must eat or drink fewer calories than you body burns off.”
“Eat less, exercise more.”
The issue?
Recommendations are for general population.
Calories, calories, calories. Eat less, and exercise more! Too general! If it’s that simple why are we continuing
to gain weight? Why do people struggle with weight loss? Why are we sick?
What do clinical studies show?
Low-Carb, High Fat (LCHF) vs. Low-Fat, high Carb (LFHC) diets.
Randomized, controlled—not observational.
Challenging conventional wisdom
Just because it’s popular belief does not mean it’s true.
Low-carb Diets
Yancy et al., 2004: 7-8 months LC (<20% CHO/day) lost 20.7 lb. LF group lost 10.58 lb. LC group: serum Triglycerides, HDL
Krauss et al., 2006: in absence of weight loss LC improve antherogenic lipid status.
Brehm et al., 2009: 4-6 months eating LC (<20% CHO/day) lost 13.16 lb. LF group lost 7.12 lb.
A to Z study: Weight loss
4 “fad” diets Atkins: low carb + high fat/protein Zone: 40/30/30 Ornish: low fat; at high carbs- as much
as you want LEARN: health-professional diet- low-fat
A to Z study: findings
Low-Carb, Low-Fat and Mediterrean Diet
Why do low-carbohydrate, high fat diets work?
Terms…just so you know
Insulin: storage hormone; fat synthesis; insulin resistance; anabolic
Glucagon: release stored energy; inhibit fat synthesis; high in fasted state
Leptin: decreases appetite; obese are leptin resistant
Other shifts in metabolic hormones & substrates based on diet.
Reasons for Low Carb
Low insulin response High glucagon Increase satiety (leptin) Lower GI/GL Increase MUFA/PUFA Increase weight loss + fat loss Structuring our body’s energy production
around “fat burning” rather than “sugar burning.”
Why fat is better?
Stores more energy Efficient fuel Preferred fuel in every day situations Quick to mobilize Need machinery to use it
Becoming Keto Adaptive on Low Carb Ketone bodies: byproducts of fat
metabolism Keto adaptive vs ketosis vs ketoacidosis What are the benefits?
Brain fuel, ROS, insulin sensitivity, protein sparing, better recovery, improve body composition
Any side effects?Initial: fatigue, headache, alcohol breathe
Conclusion
Short-term (4-8 months): LCHF diets are effective and safe for weight loss.
Long-term(>12 months): Effective but weight regain occurs over the long-term.
Keto adaptive is beneficial.
Now…time for the good stuff!

Fish Oil 1: One soft gel= 1,000 mg fish oil (or 1g). EPA= 180mg; DHA = 120mg2g EPA/DHA recommendedLet’s look at DHA specifically so use (.120g
=120mg)So… 2g/0.120g DHA = 17 soft gels!
Fish Oil 2: 4 capsules = 4,000 mg (or 4g). EPA
=1600mg; DHA =800mg.So…2g/.800g = 2.5 x 4 = 10 capsules

Lifestyle Checklist for weight loss Look at 5 things:
NutritionSleepExerciseFamily/work/socialPsychology
Exercise: Fuel to Perform
Idea “Burn Fat during Exercise” – needs to be forgotten (one exception)
Fuel to perform—body prefers CHO at high intensities (no oxygen around)
“Anaerobic state” Eat CHOs around your workout.
Fruits + VegetablesPre-WOD honey/applesauce
Exercise as a Tool
Wellness and weight loss tool. Functional, constantly varied
movements. CF + nutrition = (fast) results “Cherry-picking” workouts
If you suck at something, continue to do it.
