5 of 5 Diet wars – Low fat vs low carb

tinyurl.com — People put on weight when they take in more calories than they burn. If you think of food as fuel, the energy content of the fuel is measured in calories. A slice of bread, for example, has about 100 food calories. If you were to add up all the calories you consumed in a day — breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks — that’s your energy input. Your body uses this energy for everything from breathing to moving around. Everyone is different, but over the course of a day, an “average” man expends something like 1800 calories and an “average” woman around 1500 calories. Jon Palfreman is the producer of “Diet Wars.” It turns out that even a slight energy imbalance will, over time, have consequences. Eating only 50 calories a day more than you burn will over time translate into about one pound a year, or 30 pounds over three decades. – Is it fair to blame low fat-dietary advice (such as that contained in the USDA food pyramid) for the obesity crisis? No. While the percentage of fat in the American diet dropped from 40 percent in 1990 to around 34 percent today, the absolute amount of fat actually increased. The true explanation for the obesity epidemic is much simpler: Americans are eating more total calories. In the 1990s, the bulk of those additional calories came from carbs — mostly refined starches and sugary drinks. – How do diets work? All diets work by restricting calories. Since simply telling people to eat smaller portions doesn’t sell books, most

2 of 5 Diet wars – Low fat vs low carb

tinyurl.com — Enter Dr. Atkins and the low-carb diet craze currently sweeping the nation. Whereas low-fat diets like Pritikin and Ornish warned followers against eating high-fat foods like steak and eggs, Atkins followers avoided the carbohydrates that are the mainstay of a low-fat lifestyle. Not surprisingly, low-carb diets have come under attack by everyone from low-fat diet proponents to scientists and the media. In “Diet Wars,” Talbot speaks with science journalist Gary Taubes, who wrote a controversial article for The New York Times Magazine that questioned whether the food pyramid was wrong and limiting carbohydrates was the way to go. “I got crucified in a variety of publications,” Taubes tells FRONTLINE. “A Washington Post reporter went after me, the Center for Science in the Public Interest went after me because suddenly I turned around and said, ‘Maybe low-fat diets don’t work and maybe low-carbohydrate diets are the answer.’” Taubes admits to being surprised by the ferocity with which his article was attacked. “People are more polarized on this than they are in politics,” he says. “I’m stunned.” What most nutritionists and industry experts do agree on is the fact that America is facing an obesity problem of epidemic proportions. “This is the public health issue of our generation,” says Dr. James Hill, director of the University of Colorado’s Center for Human Nutrition. “[When] you see 65 percent of Americans are overweight or obese, what amazes me is that

Best Energy Drink. Energy Drinks-The Best

GET GOING WITH ENERGY DRINKS
How do you determine the number one energy drinks? As in, what are the parameters that you use to rate a particular energy drink to discover if it’s what you want? First indicators could taste, results, nutritional value, and maybe price. But you may find other things, given time. And this writing is to help to assist you with an idea of the things that you may consider while choosing on the best energy drinks.

Taste, then. Are you among those who believe that a sweet-tasting energy drink is number one, you could want to know that sugar as a substance provides only a short-term increase, and the high transforms into a low quite fast. That is to say, you will not get a continuous input of energy from sugar, because the body, while it will convert the sugar to instant energy, will soon run out of it. And, of course, if you’re a diabetic, the too much sugar may be potentially deadly for your system. Even if you are not, too much sugar means more calories than are good to consume.

If you consider nutritional value, the first thing you ought to watch for is if the energy considered drink depends too much on caffeine. In very basic terms, caffeine excites the nervous system, which means if you take a shot of caffeine, you will instantly get rid of any tiredness or sleepiness you could be experiencing. And while caffeine is a staple in almost all energy drinks, you should take care to avoid overdosing on it. The main concern with caffeine is that, like sugar, it tends to generate a quick energy drive, which means you need to replenish your body’s caffeine supply frequently. But, most energy drinks contain over than the recommended amount of caffeine, and should you consume more than your body requires, you’ll start to feel restless, anxious, and on the edge. You see, too much energy can be a bad thing, too!

Staying with the topic of nutritional value,  on the other side are energy drinks that rely largely on Vitamin B. Now this is a substance that strengthens both the immune and nervous systems, but does not have an instant result. But you should not subject yourself to a consistent diet of Vitamin B. What most experts would recommend is a daily, timed intake.

You may too be searching for low or zero-carb energy drinks, and low or zero-calorie ones. Plenty of folk prefer organic or natural energy drinks, that give an energy drive without artificial additives. And for those who need to drink energy drinks very often – such as athletes – price would definitely be an important consideration, and in this regard, you should take into account that the best energy drinks need not necessarily be the most expensive.

So there you are. Whatever your criteria, the best energy drink is but an arm’s length away.
