3 Diet Secrets Making Us YoYo Diet....

If you're an experienced yo yo dieter, chances are you've had it with diets that either don't work, leave you hungry or feeling constantly deprived, or cost a ton in pills, shakes and other packaged foods.
Most experienced dieters are flabbergasted when they hear these well kept secrets - unexpected things that hinder weight loss no matter how hard you try.

These are from a forthcoming book by my very dear friend, Dr. Heidi Dulay.
  • Secret #1.
  • Industrial burgers are fattening. Grassfed ones are slimming. (Both with no bun, of course.) Yes, a low carb diet works quickest for fat burn and weight loss, for most people. However, the wrong kinds of meats hinder weight loss in the long run. Industrial burgers have too much of the wrong kind of fat, and up to 5 times more total fat than grassfed ones. They contain antibiotics, hormones, and even harmful bacteria that upset our metabolism. While grassfed ones have lots of the good fats (omega 3s) and a ton of health giving vitamins and minerals.
  • Secret #2. A balanced diet keeps you fat. If you thought a balanced diet seems like the best way to lose weight you're not alone. 160 of the 225 folks taking our survey last week - 72% - said TRUE to question 9: Eat a balanced diet to lose. But it is not so. See here.
  • Secret #3. Fruits, veggies and grains may block the weight loss trigger. Granted fruits are better than eating sweets like ice cream and cakes. Fruits are good sources of vitamins and minerals. But they're not necessary for weight loss. They block the fat burning mechanism for most folks. But that's not all...See half way down here.
These are just some of the findings in the new book being written by Dr. Heidi - a nutrition professor at a university in Berkeley CA, and a Doctor of Education (Ed.D.) from Harvard University.

Her live fat burn programs are based on not only 150 years of research findings (like Gary Taubes' 600 page book), but her own years of experimenting and tinkering with programs for her active weight loss clientele. Finally last year she put some of the missing pieces together, and I urged her to offer her new Extreme Regime Fat Burn program to my readers.

Since last July, some 60+ folks - mostly professional yo-yo dieters - went through the program. Because it was so successful and so different, her ER Fat Burn Formula has built up a major buzz in an industry known for its failure.

Not only did folks lose significant weight, but many of their aging symptoms disappeared. Including chronic diarrhea, acid reflux, high blood pressure (no more need for medication for some), insomnia, hot flashes, and sexual decline.

Look around. How come most folks are still overweight if the current diet programs and recommendations are so great? If almost no one can do them, what good are they? How about doing something you CAN do?

If you don't do this, how much will you weigh in a year? Or two or three years? Dr. Heidi's next Fat Burn cycle starts this SATURDAY. There is still time to start working on that new bod.

What is more important than your looks, your health and your energy?

You owe it to yourself and to those who love you to do something. Check it out right here. We're waiting for ya.

Dave Smetter
712-548-5522

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -- Le Mars, Iowa (January 29, 2009) – Wells' Dairy, Inc., is voluntarily recalling all Blue Bunny® No Sugar Added Reduced Fat Bunny Tracks® ice cream sold at retail and foodservice levels in 1.75 qt plastic containers with All Codes displaying "Best Used By" dates prior to January 29, 2010. Best used by date is located on the bottom of the carton.

Wells' Dairy is also voluntarily recalling one lot of Blue Bunny Personals® Bunny Tracks 8 fl oz. sold at retail and foodservice levels with lot number – 80024 D19114 "Best Used By" date 09/11/09. The lot number can be found printed on the side of the carton.

The Company initiated the voluntary recall in response to an expanded recall by Peanut Corporation of America (PCA).

Wells' Dairy has not received any consumer illness complaints associated with its products. However, it is taking precautionary steps, including removing the impacted products from retail store shelves and the entire distribution system.

"We are proud of our long heritage of creating high-quality ice cream and frozen treats," said Mike Wells, chief executive officer of Wells' Dairy. "The health and safety of our consumers is our number one priority, and we're taking this action as a precautionary measure."

Consumers who have purchased the recalled products should return them to the store where they were purchased for a full refund. Anyone requiring more information should contact Wells' Dairy consumer affairs at 1-800-331-0830.

Low Carb With A Twist - ER Fat Burn OPEN...

Low Carb With a Twist




The Extreme Regime Fat Burn Formula is now open: for that determined dieter who's ready for a new bod.

ER Fat Burn Formula

But it closes this Friday, Jan 30, at Midnight PST (3AM EST - NY).

Because this ER Fat Burn Cycle starts officially on Jan 31 with Dr. Heidi's live kickoff call.

There are two Live spots left right now...

ER Fat Burn Formula

You can still go for the less pricey Multi Media option. It includes everything for the five weeks except the private weekly consultations with Dr. Heidi. Plus you go at your own pace.

All calls are recorded for anytime listening. Plus they're edited and transcribed so you can study those things you really want to dig into.

The forums are filled with active grads and newbies doing and asking and doing and getting slinkier and more energized.

OK enough already.

ER Fat Burn Formula


P.S. What if you don't do this program? How much will you weigh in one year or in two? And by then it will cost $173 million because of inflation. And your special bonuses will be gone for sure.

CEF’s voluntary recall is in response to the widening recall involving Peanut Butter manufactured by Peanut Corporation of America (PCA) due to possible contamination with Salmonella. PCA was one supplier of peanut butter to CEF. Products manufactured by CEF have NOT been linked to the nationwide Salmonella outbreak. All lots of all products manufactured by CEF are tested by reputable independent laboratories and all products have tested negative with no Salmonella contamination being detected. As part of its priority to ensure the safety and quality of all of its products, CEF is issuing the voluntary recall.

Salmonella bacteria can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal cramps. Consumers with the above symptoms should consult their physician. No illnesses associated with any of these products have been reported to date.

Consumers who have purchased any of the recalled products are urged to not consume the product and to contact CEF Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM – 4:30 PM Pacific Time at 510-567-1200 for disposal instructions. Consumers with questions or concerns about their health should contact their doctor or health care provider.

Peanut Corporation of America Expands Nationwide Recall of Peanut Products Jan. 28,2009

Peanut Corporation of America Expands Nationwide Recall of Peanut Products
PCA Announces the Voluntary Recall of All Peanuts and Peanut Products Shipped from Georgia Plant
Contact:
Peanut Corporation of America
1-877-564-7080

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -- Lynchburg, Va. (January 28, 2009) – Peanut Corporation of America (PCA) is voluntarily recalling all peanuts and peanut products processed in its Blakely, Georgia facility since Jan. 1, 2007. Previously, PCA announced a recall of peanut butter and peanut paste. PCA sells its products to institutional and industrial users for service in large institutions or for sale and further processing by other companies. PCA does not sell peanuts or peanut products directly to consumers in stores.

PCA is not aware of any complaints or reports of illness involving the additional peanuts and peanut products subject to this expanded recall. PCA is acting out of an abundance of caution and with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s help to recall all products manufactured in its Georgia facility. PCA is voluntarily taking this larger recall action following almost two weeks of inspection and review at the Georgia facility.

The expanded recall includes all peanuts (dry and oil roasted), granulated peanuts, peanut meal, peanut butter and peanut paste. All of the recalled peanuts and peanut products were made only at the company’s Blakely, Georgia facility; the lot numbers and a description of the products being recalled are listed at the end of this release. The Blakely, Georgia facility has stopped producing all peanut products.

The voluntary recall comes amid an FDA investigation into a nationwide salmonella outbreak that has sickened more than 500 people nationwide beginning in September, with the largest number of illnesses reported in November. Salmonella is an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis.

Because some of our peanut products have been used by manufacturers of pet food, we are also alerting the public that Salmonella is an organism that can potentially be transferred to people handling pet treats exposed to Salmonella, especially if they have not thoroughly washed their hands after having contact with the products or any surfaces exposed to these products. Pets with Salmonella infections may be lethargic and have diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, fever, and vomiting. Some pets will have only decreased appetite, fever and abdominal pain. Well animals can be carriers and infect other animals or humans. If your pet has consumed the recalled product and has these symptoms, please contact your veterinarian.

The potential for contamination was noted after samples from peanut butter containers and environmental samples from the Blakely, Georgia facility tested positive for Salmonella. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has said the investigation is “very active and dynamic,” and PCA continues to work closely with the FDA and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as they continue their investigation into the nationwide outbreak of Salmonella.

PCA is notifying customers who received recalled products by phone and/or in writing. Customers should segregate and hold the product and call PCA at 1-877-564-7080 for further instructions. Consumers should contact the FDA and visit the agency web site at www.fda.gov for a complete list of all products affected.

“We have been devastated by this, and we have been working around the clock with the FDA to ensure any potentially unsafe products are removed from the market immediately,” said Stewart Parnell, President of Peanut Corporation of America. “Additionally, we are working alongside state and federal food safety experts in every way we can to help them protect consumers, both now and in the future.

“We want our customers and consumers to know that PCA is taking extraordinary measures, out of an abundance of caution, to identify and recall all products that have been identified as potential risks.”

The recalled peanuts and peanut products were distributed nationwide to institutions, food service industries, and private label food companies as well as and in Canada, Haiti, Korea and Trinidad.

All lots that are affected begin with the lot number 7, 8 or 9. The following is the description of the products being recalled:

Description:
Peanut Butter All Styles All Sizes All Lots beginning with 7, 8, or 9
Peanut Paste All Styles All Sizes All Lots beginning with 7,8, or 9
Peanut Meal All Styles All Sizes All lots beginning with 7, 8, or 9

Meat is Fattening, or is it?



I'm so excited to share some amazing news! Dr. Heidi is writing a new book to share her years of nutrition research with us! I can hardly wait and I'll keep you updated....


This post is part of Dr. Heidi Dulay's new book! Most of you know that Dr. Heidi created the Extreme Regime Fat Burn Formula.

The five week fat burn program opened Oct. 3, 2009.

Most folks think meat is good if you want to lose weight.

90% (208) of the 228 readers said "FALSE" to Diet Warning survey Question 5.

Meat is not good if you want to lose weight.



Big Fat Surprise #3:

Most meat is fattening.

Meats are not created equal.

Nor are chickens, turkeys, fish, eggs and dairy.

We compare two burgers: An industrial burger and a grassfed burger.

They may look the same, but one is fattening and the other is reducing. Yes, assume you are eating either one WITHOUT the BUN.

An industrial burger is fattening. Its grassfed counterpart is reducing.


Here's why the industrial burger is fattening. It has:
An abnormal amount of total and saturated fat: 4 to 6 times more total fat and twice as much saturated fat as grassfed.

Hardly any omega 3 fats – the type of fat that burns fat, like salmon has. Omega 3 naturally present in cow fat plummets in the feedlot – the longer the cow is in the feedlot, the lower the omega 3 content.

Excessive amounts of omega 6 fats – the fats found in corn oil that are correlated with obesity and diabetes.

High level of toxins: growth hormone, antibiotics, pesticides and genetically modified organisms.

In industrial feedlots cows sleep in deep piles of manure – a source of bacteria that may end up in our hamburgers. They are fed synthetic nitrogen, chicken litter, blood and fat products of other slaughtered cattle, along with as much corn as they can stand. Cows naturally eat grass, not corn. Corn messes up their digestive systems, causing all kinds of disease requiring antibiotics and other medication – which end up in our steaks and burgers. "A growing body of research suggests that many problems associated with eating beef are really problems with corn-fed beef ." (Pollan 2008, p.75)


On the other hand, grassfed meats come from cows that eat grass – food they’re made to eat and digest. They stay healthy, and develop ideal amounts of total fats and the essential omega 3 and 6 fats. Grassfed meats are a boon to folks who don’t like fish, because they provide the omega 3s that we prize in fish.

There are similar differences in the weight loss effects of industrial versus pastured chickens and turkeys, and farmed versus wild fish. I often tell my students that when they eat farmed fish, they might as well be eating a feedlot cow.


Other products from grassfed and industrial animals are also wildly different in the nutrition they offer.

Milk, butter and cream from grassfed cows can help burn fat and build muscle. They contain CLA, a type of fat that causes that to happen. (see Tom, 1977 in Robinson, p 20). Grassfed milk has 5 times more CLA than industrial milk.


Bottom line, meat lovers; meat shunners.

Industrial animal farming has spawned an industrial food syndrome epidemic – folks who are obese, diabetic, and prone to heart disease, cancer, asthma and arthritis.


The reaction against cruelty to animals and dangers to human health from industrial food has given vegetarianism new life. Even Michael Pollan who started out as an omnivore, advises us on the cover of his newest book:

“Eat food, not too much, mostly plants”.

But we need not throw the baby out with the bathwater. Instead, we say:

“Eat food, low carb, grassfed and wild.” And of course, eat real fat.

Big FAT Surprise, Diet Warning

This article is for the folks who have told me and they believe that all we need to do is eat less to lose weight. I had a reader leave a comment saying that since having your stomach stapled makes you lost weight that it has to be we are just overeating to gain weight. I have reactions to this comment - for another post.


Diet Warning: Big FAT surprise #1

This post is for someone who's still overweight and who's pondering the next diet. I have something for you to consider.

I'll assume that you are health-conscious - you do not eat at McDonald's regularly, and know that pizza, chips, sodas and candy are fattening. Plus you may have a hard time fitting in exercise. If that's you...



"Warning: Do not attempt another diet until you read this controversial report."


When I tested that ad folks asked: what controversial findings?! Here goes...



Big Fat Surprise #1: A balanced diet keeps you fat.
If you thought a balanced diet seems like the best way to lose weight you're not alone. 160 of the 225 folks taking our survey last week - 72% - said TRUE to question 9: Eat a balanced diet to lose.






But it's not so. Not for most people, anyway. Quick definition of a balanced diet:

According to the latest U.S. government Pyramid, balanced diets include 5 food groups:
1) grains
2) vegetables
3) fruits
4) milk and dairy products
5) meat, beans, fish and nuts
Plus fats and oils.
But if you eat all these things each day, that may explain why you are not losing.

To trigger the fat burning mechanism, you need an imbalanced diet. For a while. Just like a plane that takes off needs imbalanced power to get off the ground and get airborne - then levels off its jet power after it reaches cruising altitude.
What in a balanced diet is keeping you fat?

Ready?

Fruits, veggies and grains may block the weight loss trigger.


Granted fruits are better than eating sweets like ice cream and cakes. Fruits are good sources of vitamins and minerals. But they're not necessary for weight loss. They block the fat burning mechanism for most folks. But that's not all...

Veggies also block the fat burning trigger for most of us. Especially the starchy stuff.

And grains, including brown rice, beans, pasta and breads, all block fat burning.

[Meats, including animal fat, can be good for weight loss - but not all meats are created equal. (The Meat Report, coming tomorrow.)]

Proof of these anti-establishment findings:

(1) Look around. Note the size of many people who say they eat right or do balanced diets;

(2) Clinical studies of the last 150 years, kept hidden (see below);

(3) Readers of this blog who did a new imbalanced weight loss program over last 6 months (see below).

Items with an asterisk (*) are the only 2009 produced items (when looking for lot numbers). These products were sold in grocery, warehouse and other retail stores throughout the United States. It is possible that some products may have already been purchased by consumers and therefore anyone who has purchased the following products with the expiration dates listed should dispose of the product or return the product to the store for a full refund.

Salmonella is an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections, endocarditis and arthritis. For more information on Salmonella, please visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Website at http://www.cdc.gov.

Due to this investigation, the company has immediately ceased manufacturing any items with peanut butter and has segregated all finished products of concern. While none of the Sinbad and Rain Creek Baking Company branded products have been identified as contaminated or linked to any illness, Rain Creek Baking Corporation is requesting that the peanut butter dessert items be removed while the FDA continues its investigation to verify the source of a nationwide outbreak.

No other Sinbad® or Rain Creek Baking Corporation® products or flavors are included in this recall.
