Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / March 2004On the news tonight... (anti-low carb)
I just heard a commercial on talk radio for an Eyewitness News report for tonight. It want something like 'forget the low carb fad for losing weight, learn why a HIGH carb diet is right for you?' Something like that anyway. I don't get network TV. I hope someone here will watch it and report back. I wonder who is behind the report ... the bread industry, the potato or corn farmers... ? Feh.

It may be the new study from MIT that CNN was reporting on this morning. It says high carb foods eaten without any protein cause people to have a higher level of mood enhancing chemicals.such as serotonin. They said if you eat ANY protein with or near the time you eat the carbs it doesn't work. If they had just asked any women who had ever eaten chocolate when she was depressed they could have saved the cost of the study. Now I just eat low carb chocolate. When asked Dr Gupta said he thought the benefits of high carb on your mood were balanced out by the good feeling you get with the weight loss you'll get on low carb. LOL >> I just heard a commercial on talk radio for an Eyewitness News >> report for tonight. It want something like 'forget the low carb fad [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > on low > carb. LOL I used to eat very low fat and I can honestly say that high carb causes depression. After all that sugar rushes through your blood, you'll crash and become depressed. I'm way less depressed and have a much better mood now than I did on low fat.

Have you ever read the Bob Arnot book (Dr. Bob Arnot's Revolutionary Weight Control Program - 1997)? I am new here (but not to Usenet) so I don't know how much that book has been discussed. But he delves extensively into the relationship of depression, serotonin levels, glycemic index and high/low carb. It's truly fascinating. I am new to low carbing--- hello all. :) Informative group! >I am new to low carbing--- hello all. :) Informative group! *waves* Welcome to the group, Elinor. > >I am new to low carbing--- hello all. :) Informative group! > > *waves* Welcome to the group, Elinor. . :: waves back :: Aw gee thanks :) I recorded the 11:00 pm Eyewitness news, and there was nothing.

These would be the pushers who did Phen/Fen awhile back, headed by a woman who so hates fat people that she can't help herself and must make comments when seing one. Sorry - just a little personal experience talking here.

According to the write-up they let people eat high carb foods until they were full. Those high carb foods include whole wheat items. Uhmm, I never in my life remember stopping once I took a bite of wheat containing food. Chuckle, so much for it working for me! > It may be the new study from MIT that CNN was reporting on this morning.

I've read a fair amount about serotonin and melatonin and carb intake recently. They seem to have very long term impact on something. Must read more ...

Its's on channel ten in that area. Don't know if it's national or not. Here is the link: http://www.10tv.com It messes with my Webtv when I try to access it.

Even with the calorie restriction percentage that was used individuals like myself would gain fat. The statement that low carb has no proof to back it up is pure drivel. These jokers actually think people are stupid enough to believe that cutting out starch from your diet is bad for you (BTW, this is not equivalent to increasing fat and meat consumption by a similar number of calories; in fact low carb lets you reduce caloric intake without any hunger). I am happy with my average weight loss of 2.5 pounds per week and the fact that it took 12 weeks for the test subjects to lose less than 10 pounds on average indicates that they had no obesity and insulin resistance issues to start with. |
