"Inside some of us is a thin person struggling to get out, but they can usually be sedated with a few pieces of chocolate cake." ! Anonymous

That used to be me... but I am now committing to losing it... no longer can the thin person be sedated... in fact, once she arrives she might be a force to be reckoned with after years in the pantry!

It is offensive to me that many people think overweight people do nothing but eat one goodie and another... I literally have nothing to eat in my refrigerator except eggs. I don't have cupboards full of bon bons... I don't order jumbo pizzas (or any for that matter) and eat them by myself. I don't hoard cookies. I don't eat breakfast, and often don't eat dinner... yet my thin friends eat constantly.

This started out to be my journal to record my journey on Medi Weight Loss Clinic's program - I lost 50 pounds on that program in 4 months... it all came back rapidly when I tried to eat "normal" - as in eating fruits and more carbs...the Dr told me it would but I thought I had it figured out. He told me I probably couldn't go over 1,400 calories a day... surely not! He was right.

Now I'm doing it all over again......without joining Medi Weight Loss - I know what to do without spending over $100 a week.

Carbohydrates - Part 1 - Clinical Nutrition

Part one of a complete overview of carbohydrates and your heath.

It's really all about metabolism ... NOT calories. People can eat more food and lose weight...

Calories are essentially energy.... fuel.

If your "flame" is only blazing at the rate of a candle you don't have much energy.

It's really about the rate that is broken down and enters the body...



Essential Carbohydrates -

Think of a string of pearls.... a long string would be a complex carbohydrate.. Mostly grains, starchy vegetables, etc. The string is saccyrides ....... this string needs to be broken down into monosacchrides - into smaller units.

With simple sugars you need to understand how quickly they enter the body....glucose gives us the energy. On a cellular level

Pituitary -

Organs are like a lamp... if there is a lot of glucose in the blood...

ATP - it is like a blast of pure raw energy


This is part one of an advanced nutrition lecture on the science of carbs. Topics discussed include weight loss, metabolism, calories, digestion, simple sugars vs. complex carbohydrates, refined sugar, diabetes, diets, low blood sugar, high blood sugar, etc.
