What diet causes cancer?

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

As it became clear that environmental influences affect cancer rates, the prime suspect was the diet. The natural question, therefore, was what specific part of the diet is responsible. The immediate suspect was dietary fat. From the late 1970s to the 1990’s we were gripped in a hysterical fat phobia. We thought eating fat caused everything bad. It caused obesity. It caused high cholesterol. It caused heart disease. It probably caused bad breath, hair loss and paper cuts, too. There was no actual proof that dietary fat, which humans had been eating since, well, we became human, that this was actually true. But it didn’t really matter, because the entire scientific world was viewed through the lens of the dietary-fat-is-bad lens. Who needs proof if you have dogma? All bad things were caused by dietary fat, so it probably caused cancer, too. Nobody really had any idea why dietary fat should cause cancer. Nobody had ever really noticed that people eating a lot of fat got a lot...

The fantastic keto couple Erika and Danielle has lost an impressive 200 lbs (90 kg) together. Congratulations! Here’s their wisdom for anyone who wants to do the same thing: Good morning, We wanted to share our weight loss success story with you as we have lost over 90 kg (200 lbs) as a couple since starting on a low-carb diet! Aside from the dramatic weight loss the other benefits we have experienced have been fantastic. We both have struggled most of our lives with being overweight and have tried EVERY diet plan under the sun. We usually were able to lose some weight, but most were not sustainable and we eventually would end up heavier than when we started. In July 2016 we started yet another plan, this time following a ketogenic way of eating, and we have not looked back. Aside from the dramatic weight loss the other benefits we have experienced have been fantastic – dramatic sleep improvements, no more snoring, no more joint pain, more energy, improved mental clarity,...

Your diet isn't healthy if you're lacking fiber. Here's why.

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

The keys to a trim waistline and good health aren’t big secrets: Eat your vegetables, get some whole fruit, stick with lean protein, and go for whole grains.

Fiber, though, is one often overlooked part of the equation. (And the average Western diet is woefully lacking it.) But fiber might be a cornerstone of eating right and staying healthy, according to two new studies on mice published in the journal Cell Host & Microbe.

[RELATED1]

In both investigations, researchers gave mice diets with hardly any fiber. The researchers then studied what happened in the rodents’ guts, and tracked changes in weight and blood sugar. Not surprisingly, all mice who ate little fiber eventually gained weight, suffered from high blood sugar, and developed insulin resistance. The mice in one study also showed that the protective layer of mucus in the colon became more porous, and allowed bad bacteria to breach it, setting up inflammation. The gut flora also exhibited changes with the beneficial...

How to translate your New Year's resolutions into practical, everyday habits

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

If you resolved to do something new this year, you’re not alone: Pretty much everyone else on the planet heads into the new year aiming to be a little healthier, get a little better at something, or lose at least a little bit of weight.

You’re also in luck. We’re here to make sure your big plans don’t end up like, well, last year's unsuccessful resolutions.

So: What’s the trick to translate your resolution into something that sticks? First of all, instead of coming in way too hot with a big goal, think smaller: Miniaturize your 2018 resolution(s) into smaller, everyday tasks that will seem much more doable. Big goals (“lose 20lbs”) are virtually impossible to act on. Small tasks, though, are doable (“eat all four meals today,” “get to the gym by 8 a.m.”). And when a task is doable, there’s a much greater chance you’ll actually get them done.

The 7 most popular dieting and weight-loss fads: What works, what doesn’t

Fad diets are the fitness world’s equivalent to get-rich-quick schemes—they’re often too good to be true. But that doesn’t mean it’s not worth examining the principles behind these popular diets, and separating fact from fiction.

We spoke to Lilly Nhan, R.D., a clinical dietitian and current Master of Public Health candidate at the UC-Berkeley School of Public Health, about some of the top dieting trends on the market. We wanted to know: Do they work? Are they safe? And what practical information can we learn from them?

Here’s a close examination of seven popular weight-loss and diet methods, with Nhan’s analysis of what works—and what might be a waste of time.

1. Juice diets

The idea of “detoxifying” juice “cleanses” became big in 2007 when celebrities started crediting the Master Cleanse for massive weight loss. The restrictive and potentially dangerous fad has fallen out of favor since then, but it did pave the way for the current juice craze.

Is fasting every single day counterproductive?

Is fasting every single day counterproductive? Is it OK to have high fasting glucose while pregnant? And once you’ve become insulin resistant, will you always be insulin resistant? It’s time for this week’s Q&A about intermittent fasting and low carb with Dr. Jason Fung: Is fasting every single day counterproductive? I’m seeing a lot of conflicting information on appropriate fasting frequency. Generally speaking, is fasting, for say, 16 to 20 hours everyday a bad idea? Sylvie There are no right or wrong answers. The term ‘break-fast’ as the meal that breaks your fast implies that fasting should be done every day, as you cannot break a fast if you did not fast. Up to the 1970s, people would have a 12-14 hour fast every day. If you finish dinner by 6 pm and ate breakfast a 8 am, that is a 14 hour fasting period done every day. That may have helped maintain weight in a healthy range, but what if you want/need to lose weight? Extending this fasting period may be...

If you grew up in the ‘80s or ‘90s, anti-drug campaigns had you convinced that marijuana was going to make you drop out of school, get hooked on heroin, commit murder, drive off a cliff, or maybe do all of the above.

But it’s a new millennium, and we’ve just debunked—or at the very least called into serious question—past “wisdom” about the “dangers” of egg yolks and dietary fat, we’re discovering that marijuana isn’t the evil, life-destroying substance we once believed it was.

In many regards, the jury is still out on weed’s long-term effects on human health. But now that cannabis is starting to come into the open, regular people—and scientists, and doctors, and lawmakers—are starting to think and talk differently about weed.

If you want lower 'bad' cholesterol, trade your steak for plant protein

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

Adding more vegetables to your diet and cutting back on meat is a simple way to trim your waist and reduce your risk for chronic disease. (It's also better for the environment: Going vegetarian could help fight climate change, because livestock actually emit more greenhouse gases than cars do, according to a 2006 United Nations study.)

But if you're like most Men's Fitness readers, you're focused on one thing: gains. Fortunately, you can build plenty of muscle on a plant-based diet and reap the health benefits.

Changing up your diet to focus more on plant protein could help lower "bad" cholesterol, which clogs arteries and ramps up your risk of a heart attack, stroke, or arterial disease, according to a recent meta-analysis published in the Journal of the American Heart Association. In the review, researchers investigated more than 100 studies of people who started eating mostly plant proteins for at least three weeks; the researchers found that plant-eaters reduced three of...

*TT = waist circumference Patrick is in his 40’s and has been my patient since November 2016. He came to me with a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes and was overweight. Within a few weeks, I diagnosed and started treating Patrick for hypertension, gout, and dyslipidemia. I also suspected sleep apnea and fatty liver. Medication: Viacoram (combination of amlodipine and perindopril) 2.5+3.5mg, Metformin 500mg TID, and Januvia 100mg. At that time, I was personally eating low carb, and I had just completed my training with Intensive Dietary Management. But I wasn’t ready to start giving it to my patients as a therapeutic option. So, I sent Patrick to see our clinic’s diabetes nurse. She is paid by pharmaceutical companies to help us optimise our diabetic patients’ medication. This is standard treatment. In February 2017, she suggested we replaced Januvia with Saxenda if his insurance covered it, so that the patient would lose some weight and get better control on his blood...

How to cut carbs when you suffer from hypoglycemia

So you’re trying to lean out, and you’re cutting down on carbs. But every time you swap out the rice for more greens and you hit the gym, you end up shaky, nauseous, cold, and clammy, and you’re stuck with a killer migraine for the rest of the day.

Sound familiar? You could be dealing with low blood sugar, also known as reactive hypoglycemia. As a nutritionist, I have many clients who struggle with this issue—but they’re often unsure how to manage it.

When your blood sugar levels take a nosedive, dieting becomes difficult, if not impossible. Every time you try to eat less or exercise more, you crash hard and crave fast carbs to get your blood sugar up. If you’re struggling with reactive hypoglycemia but still want to lose weight, here’s how to make it work.

Reactive hypoglycemia occurs when blood sugar levels drop too low about 3-4 hours after eating carbohydrates. This can be a result of your body consistently releasing too much insulin for the amount of...

So you’re at your local supermarket, perusing the shelves to fill up your get-ripped grocery list, and everything’s going along smoothly. But right before you pick up your usual low-fat plain yogurt or lean cut of sirloin, you notice that tastier options—that sugary fruit-flavored yogurt, the sumptuous porterhouse—are staring you in the face, begging to be enjoyed over those lackluster imitators.

It’s the classic fit guy’s dilemma. And yeah, we know it sucks. But thanks to some clever engineering, a brand-new machine, and a little bit of food-science trickery, choosing between taste and nutrition might be a thing of the past.

The secret? Tricking your nose.

Blueberries: In one study, rats who at a blueberry-rich diet had significantly less abdominal fat, lower cholesterol, and improved insulin levels.

Almonds: Consuming 42 grams of almonds a day led to reduction in belly fat mass, according to a 2015 study published in the Journal of the American Heart Association.

This easy-to-make salad provides a filling lunch without hurting your gains, thanks to superfoods like walnuts and avocado.

Key fat burners:

Blood orange: The vitamin C in citrus decreases production of cortisol, a stress hormone that plays a key role in belly fat storage.   

Walnuts: These nuts are packed with polyunsaturated fats. Research has suggested that diets rich in these “good” fats may be able to “turn off” the gene that stores body fat.

How one man lost 50 pounds—and kept it off after age 50

The first time Ottawa resident Dave Campbell went down the weight-loss road was in 1995, when he dropped from 200 to 154lbs to get ready for his wedding. After that, he slowly but surely let himself go again.

“On Sundays I’d deep-fry two bags of frozen french fries,” he says.“I had a lot of bad habits, but that was the worst.”

By 2005, Campbell was back up to 203. "I wasn’t even 40 yet!" he recalls. "That’s when the light came on. I said to myself, 'That’s it'."

Campbell threw himself into dieting and running, and in under a year was down to 144. Twelve years later, he admits he lost too much too soon. “I’d never recommend anyone do what I did—I went cold turkey, cut out everything, deprived myself of even healthy foods. It was dangerous.”

Since then, he’s learned a lot about eating and working out right. Best of all, he hasn’t gained back the weight. Here, his tricks for keeping the bad weight off for good.

How to gain muscle (and not fat) with all your extra holiday calories

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

Most of the average American’s annual weight gain occurs between October and February, research from the University of Hawaii shows. People simply can’t resist holiday smorgasbords; and even if you fancy yourself a “gym guy,” chances are you can’t, either.

We won’t waste space telling you to avoid party treats and decadent meals, because we know you’re going to indulge anyway (we are, too). Besides, the holidays are no time to point fingers. But we can give you some advice to mitigate the damage to your physique, so that you won’t be mistaken for a mall Santa when you go to return gifts in your new red sweater. All you have to do is follow this plan and enjoy yourself.

Food fight: How to choose between the unhealthiest (and most delicious) foods at a holiday party

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

In a perfect world, you wouldn't have to choose between the best foods at the holiday party buffet. Deciding between pumpkin pie and apple pie is just not a moral conundrum we would ever want to have to confront. It's like picking between your favorite newphews. Or, like, Batman and Superman.

But let's say you did have to choose your cheat meals wisely, and you were confronted with presenting at least a little rationale for your decision. Here are three common holiday food choices that fit guys often face, and a guide to what we'd recommend. (And for the record: Batman. Definitely Batman.)

Pumpkin pie vs apple pie

Winner: Pumpkin pie

Unlike most pies, pumpkin packs fiber. It has 2g per cup and only 323 calories per slice.

Sweet potato casserole vs. mashed potatoes

Winner: Mashed potatoes

The mashed might pack more fat, given its butter and cream content, but the casserole can sneak in up to 6 tsp of sugar. This will send your insulin soaring and cause fat...

Ditch the egg whites and go for whole eggs to get maximum muscle protein synthesis

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

Thick egg-white shakes used to be the go-to for bodybuilders and strength athletes when they wanted to put on massive muscle. Back then, bodybuilders eschewed egg yolks because of cholesterol concerns. But these days, we know that the cholesterol in egg yolks doesn’t transfer over to your body and make cholesterol levels rise, so eggs are back on the training menu for many.

[RELATED1]

And it turns out that egg yolks are actually better for building muscle after a workout than the same amount of egg whites, says a new study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. That's right: You'll get more yoked with yolks.

Researchers gave 18 young guys (so, a small study) an 18g serving of protein from either egg yolks or egg whites after one session of lifting weights. They then took blood samples and muscle biopsies to track muscle protein synthesis. The researchers found that the post-exercise response in building new muscle was 40% greater in those who had the egg...

Former NFL lineman Will Montgomery dropped 80 pounds with cardio and an overhauled diet. Here’s how he looks now.

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

Following his 10-year NFL career, former Washington Redskins center Will Montgomery made a decision to join what he calls “the skinny club”.

At 6’3”, 305lbs, Montgomery was perfectly suited to dig into the trenches as an offensive lineman in the NFL, but once his career ended due to a fractured fibula and dislocated ankle, Montgomery knew he had to make a change.

[RELATED1]

Montgomery decided to take charge of his overall health and fitness, detailing to the Washington Post how he completely overhauled his nutrition and started working out to shed his extra weight. During his career, Montgomery was able to bench nearly 500lbs and squat around 700lbs, calling himself an “extreme meathead”. But once his football career was over, he realized that he didn’t need to be as big anymore.

“Sometimes I still don’t recognize myself,” Montgomery said to the Washington Post. “Now I’m kind of almost out of that fat club. Now I’m in the skinny club. It’s almost hard...

Living near a gym might help you stay leaner

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

If you live far away from your gym, it's more likely that schlepping yourself there for a daily sweat session can feel like a gargantuan chore instead of a quick pit stop that fits neatly into your routine. And when you live right down the street from a fast-food joint, limiting yourself to one sloppy cheeseburger a week is a pretty significant accomplishment, right? Right.

So it's not too surprising, then, that people who live near fitness facilities like gyms, pools, and playing fields—and farther from fast food outlets—tend to be a little bit leaner, according to a new study published in The Lancet Public Health.

Researchers from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine looked at data from the U.K. Biobank to find out whether the number of fitness facilities near someone's home affects their waist circumference, BMI, and body-fat percentage. They found that, on average, most people had only one fitness facility within a kilometer (about 0.62 miles) of their...
