Atkins Diet Misconceptions: Low Carb Diets and Gout

admin — Sun, 09 Jan 2011 17:06:02 +0000

In a response to a TV episode on the show Royal Pains, I analyze the claims that a high fat diet will necessarily lead to the pain associated with gout and gout attacks. The conventional wisdom seems often analogous to popular, but wrong cholesterol theorem that dietary cholesterol leads to increased cholesterol in the blood. Is the popular theory right? What is Gout? Gout is a form of arthritis that occurs when abnormally high levels of uric acid build up in the body, causing crystals to form in joints. The crystals cause sudden, severe attacks of joint pain and swelling. Uric acid is a substance that is normally released by the kidneys when the body breaks down waste products called purines. When the kidneys are no longer able to flush uric acid out of the body properly, it crystallizes and accumulates around the joints. Misconception that Atkins is only acidic foods: Alkaline Foods Extremely Alkaline Forming Foods – pH 8.5 to 9.0: Cantaloupe, Cayenne (Capsicum), Kelp, Melons, Watercress, Seaweed Moderate Alkaline Forming Foods – pH 7.5 to 8.0 Alfalfa sprouts, Avocados, Berries, Carrots, Celery, Lettuce (leafy green), Peas (fresh sweet), Pumpkin (sweet), Spinach, Bell Pepper, Broccoli, Cabbage, Kale, Kohlrabi, Lettuce (pale green), Strawberry, Squash , Sweet corn (fresh), Sour Dairy Slightly Alkaline to Neutral Forming Foods – pH 7.0 Almonds , Artichokes (Jerusalem), Brussel Sprouts, Coconut (fresh), Cucumbers, Egg plant, Onions, Tomatoes (sweet), Mayonnaise (home made …

Myths About Low Carb Diets

admin — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 01:23:26 +0000

There are a lot of myths and misconceptions about low-carb diets. Anti-low carb information often draws an image of people eating very unhealthy diets, with no vegetables or fruits, guzzling cream and eating bacon dipped in butter all day. We are supposedly courting heart disease, and are on a dangerous road to poor health. The truth is that low-carb diets focus on nutritious, healthy food, and research into reducing carbs continues to show more and more positive results. Here are the myths about low-carb diets I hear most often. 1. Low Carb = No Carb This misconception is the idea that a low-carb diet must be really really low in carbohydrates. You will read that low carb diets attempt to eliminate carbohydrates, for example. Fact: Not one low-carb diet author advocates this. Even Atkins Induction, which is very low in carbohydrates, is not no carb, is only meant to last two weeks, and actually can be skipped altogether, according to the Atkins Web site. Fact: Diet authors who recommend reducing carbs have all sorts of different ideas about carb levels. Fact: The carbohydrate level should be adjusted to the individual. Fact: Over the years, the nutritional establishment has been gradually lowering the range of recommended carbohydrate in the diet, at the same time condemning reduced-carb diets, some of which may be recommending the lower end of the new accepted range, or close to it. Example: Dr. Dean Edell, a prominent media physician, once stated that the Zone Diet, a …

Gluten Free Low Carb Recipes – Ten Top Tips To Make Them Easy

admin — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 19:35:50 +0000

Following a gluten free, low carb diet can seem a daunting prospect. But with some careful planning gluten free, low carb recipes can become second nature. This article gives ten top tips for making them easier.
#1 – Planning is key
.Ensure that you always plan your meals a few days in advance. Make lists of all the ingredients that you’re going to need for your recipes.
#2 – The perimeter of the supermarket is your friend.
The safe foods tend to be found around the edge of the supermarket. Fresh vegetables, fruit, meat, fish and dairy can usually be found here.
#3 – Don’t just shop in the supermarket.
Learn to look for your foods in health food stores, farmer’s markets and online.
#4 – Plain foods are best.
Whether it’s fresh, frozen or tinned, your safest bets are with food that isn’t processed or covered in sauce and seasoning.

#5 – Always read the label.

Note brands of specific items that you know are safe and stick to these. But keep checking these labels periodically as ingredients do change.

#6 – Keep an eye on the oven.

Gluten free baking needs to be more closely monitored as it is more sensitive to being under or over cooked.

#7 – Cover your baked goods.

Your food will dry out much quicker, so make sure that it’s covered to keep the moisture inside.

#8 – Freeze baked goods for a better texture.

Divide up into portions and freeze it once it has cooled.

#9 – Cook more.

Whenever you are cooking, try to always cook for more people than you are feeding. Bag the extra, label it clearly and freeze it. This enables you to build up a store of healthy fast food that you can use when you don’t have time to cook.

#10 – Practice.

Use these tips and learn from your mistakes, but above all practice! In no time gluten free, low carb recipes will become as easy as pie!

Do you have any? The “potato” can be real or can be anything that tastes like a potato, but remember that it has to be low in carbs and fat. As far as fat is concerned, don’t count the butter and cheese. I have low-fat alternatives for those. Thanks.
