Are there certain foods that I can never eat again? How do I best figure out my portion size on keto? How can I keep losing weight when on a plateau and struggling with anxiety? These and other questions are answered this week by our food-addiction expert, Bitten Jonsson, RN: Is it realistic to say there are certain foods I will never eat again? First, I was so excited to read your profile. I KNOW I’m an addict and even attended Overeaters Anon. Nothing ever worked because every food plan allowed me to eat my trigger foods. I’ve always felt like an alcoholic, but my alcohol is wheat and sugar. Now I know, I’m not nuts. Like a drug addict, I feel I need to say, “absolutely never!” to certain things, but people keep telling me that’s not reasonable or feasible. Elaine Hi Elaine, you are right and they are wrong. It is true that if we are sugar/flour addicts, there are food’s we can never eat without going back in our addiction and be sicker and develop more severe...

Supply and demand: Why fatty foods are getting more expensive

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

According to The Wall Street Journal, fatty foods are more expensive because fat (well, good fat) is in fashion. That is the gist of its article, published Tuesday in its “Markets” section. The Wall Street Journal: Your Avocados and Olives Are Pricier Because Fat Is In Fashion In some ways, it’s basic economics. When demand for a food rises – in this case, avocados, butter, olive oil, or salmon — prices increase while suppliers scramble to produce more of that item. The article reports that prices on these fatty goods are up as much as 60 percent in just five years. Eventually, as supply responds to the increase in demand, prices drift down. What is responsible for this increase in demand? Full-fat diets. The author explains: These changes in fortune reflect the broad dietary shifts of recent years. Many people have switched to eating more foods that are high in natural fats from high-carbohydrate, low-fat diets. And government agencies and nutritionists are...

A stellar op-ed, keto vs. WW, and the ‘Doritos towel bag’

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

This week, we summarize the top five news articles and studies in the low-carb realm, plus the wall of shame. A new op-ed published in Minnesota’s largest newspaper, the Star Tribune, christens the keto diet as “The risk-reversal diet.” With a very engaging style, the author focuses on the type 2 diabetes epidemic, including its shocking scale and crippling cost. He builds a strong case for his thesis: “Errant beliefs about food and health engineered a diabetes crisis, and a simple, sustainable way of eating can end it.” That way of eating is keto. A must read. According to CNN, Weight Watchers is “getting crushed by keto.” A surprisingly poor quarter led Weight Watchers’ CEO to mention a “keto surge” as one of the company’s challenges. Her company’s stock has tanked, down almost 80% from its high less than a year ago. Even bigger news: CNN also reports that a Wall Street analyst named Diet Doctor as part of the reason she is concerned about Weight...

Op-ed praises keto as ‘The risk-reversal diet’

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

A new op-ed published in Minnesota’s largest newspaper, the Star Tribune, christens the keto diet as “The risk-reversal diet.” Star Tribune: The risk-reversal diet Writer Paul John Scott begins with a focus on the type 2 diabetes epidemic, including its shocking scale and crippling cost. After laying out the depressing facts, what is his assessment? So if there’s a preventable illness that deserves our attention more than diabetes, it’s hard to imagine what that is. And yet our imagination when it comes to identifying the source of the illness is impoverished. Officeholders demand more “access to health care” (from the political left), or “freedom to choose your doctor” (from the political right). Few ask why we need so much diabetes care in the first place. Not to mention why “your doctor” doesn’t seem to have the tools to arrest diabetes. From there, Scott talks about the power of ketogenic diets to reverse type 2 diabetes. He mentions Virta...

Is Weight Watchers ‘getting crushed by keto’?

According to CNN, Weight Watchers is “getting crushed by keto”. A surprisingly poor quarter led Weight Watchers’ CEO Mindy Grossman to mention a “keto surge” as one of the company’s challenges in her call with Wall Street analysts. In the aftermath of reporting poor earnings and sales, the weight-loss company’s stock plunged more than 33 percent on Wednesday. In less than a year, the stock has lost more than 80 percent of its value. CNN Business: Weight Watchers is getting crushed by keto CNN reports that a “rival weight-loss service” called Diet Doctor is a challenging competitor to Weight Watchers: JPMorgan analyst Christina Brathwaite downgraded the stock to “underperform” last week and slashed her price target. One of the reasons? She was worried about competition from rival weight-loss service Diet Doctor, which is a proponent of keto. To be clear, we don’t see ourselves as a “weight-loss service”. We are a health company. We give inspiration...
