9. Daily Intakes • It is widely agreed upon that the recommended daily caloric intake is between 1800-2400 calories per day for non to light active people. • It is also widely agreed upon that recommended carbohydrate intake should be about 120 grams.

10. To loose weight • One pound of fat contains approximately 3,500 calories, so to lose one pound a week, a person should consume approximately 3,500 fewer calories per week. This can be done by reducing the daily intake by 500 calories per day (500 x 7 days will provide a deficit of 3,500 calories per week). To lose 2 pounds per week, a deficit of 1,000 calories per day is required. • 60-70 grams of carbohydrates for weight loss.

34. Eternal truth - • One of the biggest tragedies of human civilization is the precedence of chemical therapy over natural, of poison over food, in which we are feeding people poisons trying to correct the reactions of starvation. Dr. Royal lee

35. Obesity and Cancer • However, estrogen is also produced in fat tissue and, after menopause, when the ovaries stop producing hormones, fat tissue becomes the most important estrogen source . • Estrogen levels in postmenopausal women are 50 to 100 percent higher among heavy versus lean women. Estrogen-sensitive tissues are therefore exposed to more estrogen stimulation in heavy women, leading to a more rapid growth of estrogen-responsive breast tumors. Obesity has been estimated to account for about 40 percent of endometrial cancer cases • Colon Cancer occurs more frequently in people who are obese than in those of a healthy weight • http://prevention.cancer.gov/prevention-detection/lifestyle

36. Obesity and Cancer • Obesity and physical inactivity may account for 25 to 30 percent of several major cancers • A recent report estimated that, in the United States, 14 percent of deaths from cancer in men and 20 percent of deaths in women were due to overweight and obesity. • Scientists estimate that about 11,000 to 18,000 deaths per year from breast cancer in U.S. women over age 50 might be avoided if women could maintain a BMI under 25 throughout their adult lives. • Both the increased risk of developing breast cancer and dying from it after menopause are believed to be due to increased levels of estrogen in obese women

37. newsweek/2008/06/14/your-lifestyle-your-genes-and-cancer • We've known for a long time that a high-fat diet, obesity and lack of exercise can increase the risk of developing heart disease and type 2 diabetes, two conditions that affect millions of Americans. What we are finding out now is that those same lifestyle factors also play an important role in cancer. That's the bad news. The good news is that you can do something about your lifestyle. If we grew thinner, exercised regularly, avoided diets rich in red meat (substituting poultry, fish or vegetable sources of protein) and ate diets rich in fruits and vegetables, and stopped using tobacco, we would prevent 70 percent of all cancers.

38. Diabetes • Text 123.6 million children and adults in the United States—7.8% of the population—have diabetes. • Diabetes was the seventh leading cause of death listed on U.S. death certificates in 2006 • In 2004, heart disease was noted on 68% of diabetes-related death certificates among people aged 65 years or older • Adults with diabetes have heart disease death rates about 2 to 4 times higher than adults without diabetes.

39. Diabetes • In 2003–2004, 75% of adults with self-reported diabetes had blood pressure greater than or equal to 130/80 mmHg, or used prescription medications for hypertension • Diabetes is the leading cause of new cases of blindness among adults aged 20–74 years. • Diabetes is the leading cause of kidney failure, accounting for 44% of new cases in 2005. • $174 billion: Total costs of diagnosed diabetes in the United States in 2007

40. Study Links Medical Costs and Personal Bankruptcy • Harvard researchers say 62% of all personal bankruptcies in the U.S. in 2007 were caused by health problems—and 78% of those filers had insurance • "For middle-class Americans, health insurance offers little protection. Most of us have policies with so many loopholes, co-payments, and deductibles that illness can put you in the poorhouse," said lead author Himmelstein. "Unless you're Warren Buffett, your family is just one serious illness away from bankruptcy." BloomburgBuisnessweek, June 4th, 2009

41. The Revolution Happened! A recent study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences found that these approaches may even change gene expression in hundreds of genes in only a few months. Genes associated with cancer, heart disease, and inflammation were downregulated whereas protective genes were upregulated or ‘turned on’. • Heart disease, diabetes, prostate cancer, breast cancer and obesity account for 75% of health care costs, and yet these are largely preventable and even reversible by changing diet and lifestyle. Wall Street Journal, Friday, January 9, 2009 The Interheart study, published in September 2004 in The Lancet, followed 30,000 men and women on six continents and found that changing lifestyle could prevent at least 90% of all heart disease. This nation is facing true epidemic of chronic disease. An increasing number of Americans are suffering and dying needlessly from diseases such as obesity, diabetes, heart disease, asthma and HIV/AIDS, all of which can be delayed in onset if not prevented entirely. President Obama A study published in Lancet Oncology reported that these life style changes increase telomerase, then enzyme that lengthens telomeres, the ends of our chromosomes that control how long we live.

42. Obesity Genes? • In a recent study, researchers found 12 genes that increased the risk of obesity. Still, although certain genes made them more susceptible to obesity, people are not slaves to their genes. Exercising an hour a day dropped the risk of weight gain about 40%. Only 30% of aging is determined by genes, the other 70% you control through your behaviors. Li, S. et al., PLoS Medicine 2010 Aug 31;7(8) pil: e1000332

43. Obesity Genes? • Exercise for 3 minutes and it causes your cells to improve their insulin sensitivity. • In a study, eating a diet with lots of polyphenol-rich olive oil helped suppress genes related to heart-damaging inflammation and oxidation. • http://www.realage.com/blogs/doctor-oz-roizen/get-healthier-cells-in-3-minutes?click=p5link1 • http://www.realage.com/tips/new-olive-oil-health-powers-revealed?click=p5link2

44. Mayo Clinic-Breast Cancer Prevention • Limit alcohol. The more alcohol you drink, the greater your risk of developing breast cancer. • Control your weight. Being overweight or obese increases the risk of breast cancer. • Discontinue hormone therapy. Long-term combination hormone therapy increases the risk of breast cancer. • Avoid exposure to environmental pollution. • http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/breast-cancer-prevention/WO00091

45. #2 Core Physiologic Principal Glycemic balance Introduce glucose – source in starch, alcohol, sugars Increased blood glucose Hunger – Sugar cravings Insulin up-regulation Adaptation – Insulin Resistance Cells absorb sugar – store as triglycerides Anabolic weight/fat gain Protein/fat Increased satiety Hypoglycemia – blood sugar too low Stress – Increased Cortisol Glycogen reserve depletion Increase gluconeogenesis Increase inflammation & anxiety Glycemic dysregulation Adrenal /Pancreas stress food dependency / fatigue Mitochondria proliferate Increased energy/stamina/productivity/independence

46. Research – Ketogenic Diet • In 12 men (mean age 36.7 years) who switched from diet of protein/CHO/fat 17-47-32 to 30-8-61(compared with 8 control subjects) • 33% reduction in fasting triglycerides • 29% reduced post-prandial lipemia after fat rich meal • 34% reduction in fasting insulin levels • 11.5% increase in HDL cholesterol Sharman MJ, Kraemer WJ, et al, J Nutr, 2002, 132 1879-1885

47. Normal CHO Consumption • Sanity dictates that we consume CHO’s with lower glycemic indices • Americans eat a high CHO diet, we recommend a normal CHO diet, not low • There are no essential CHO’s • Energy increases, body sculpting ensues, weight reduction of fat only, lean muscle mass increases, food cravings recede, insulin resistance reverses – What’s to argue over?

48. Eternal Truth He who does not use his endeavors to heal himself is brother to him who commits suicide. Proverbs 18:96
