Might there be a magic pill for obesity? Something you can take that allows you to overeat and not gain weight? In spite of hopeful headlines, the answer is “Not anytime soon.” In a recent study, researchers disabled a gene called RCAN1 in mice. Mice without the gene can eat large quantities of food without gaining weight. The lead researcher of the study, Professor Damien Keating of Flinders University, says that based on what they found in the study, they hope to develop a pill that targets the function of RCAN1 which may result in weight loss in humans, too. Science Daily: Gene that lets you eat as much as you want holds promise against obesity Vice: A new drug could let us eat anything without gaining weight Obesity rates are skyrocketing like never before, and Prof. Keating is hoping his work might eventually turn things around. He declares: The ideal would be to take some sort of pill that didn’t require you to watch your diet, that didn’t require you to...

Help us let the NIH know that low-carb diets should be on its research agenda

Is it possible to lose weight without starvation? FREE Download: Ketogenic Diet Book » KetoVIP.

Are you a low-carb practitioner or have you personally experienced the power of low-carb diets to improve your health? If your answer is yes, please take a minute to write to the National Institute of Health (NIH) to suggest that low-carb diets should be included in its 10-year plan for nutrition research. Unfortunately, a draft plan, issued by the NIH in mid-November, does not mention low-carb diets. This plan, once finalized in early 2019, will drive the NIH’s nutrition research agenda, especially clinical trials, for the next decade. The NIH is an important source of research funds and adds to the credibility of the trials it underwrites. With the burgeoning type 2 diabetes epidemic and the strong evidence of the power of low-carb diets to improve outcomes for these patients, it is particularly alarming that low-carb diet trials are not part of the NIH’s research agenda. Comments on the draft plan (pdf available here) are due by December 15th, so please try to get your...

Metabolic Health and Nutrition Conference – Part 2 of 3

I earlier this year attended a conference in Seattle, WA, (USA) titled “Metabolic Health and Nutrition Across the Life Span.” The headlining presenters were Dr. David Ludwig and Dr. Robert Lustig – both pediatric endocrinologists, researchers, authors, etc. Though my notebook overflows with wisdom, practical tips, inspiration, and what-if’s, I’d like to share some of the salient points that made this conference worth my time and effort to attend. If one wishes to dive deeper, there is far more information available in each of these presenters’ websites and publications. Part 2: After seeking to understand and discover solutions to societal issues that are a scourge to our physical and mental health, there is a shift in the discussion to how nature impacts our health – from microscopic organisms to spending time among the flora and fauna of the outdoors. Finally, the role of our minds in our eating behavior is examined. The hacking of the American mind ...
