The low-carb diet: Maintaining a 100-pound weight loss for over a decade

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

Before and after Name: Jean Risman Age: 68 Height: 5’2″ (157 cm) Highest weight: 245 lbs (111 kg) Current weight: 130 lbs (59 kg) Lowest weight: 122 lbs (55 kg) Back in 2003, Jean Risman’s quality of life was dismal. At 55 years of age, she carried 245 pounds (111 kg) on her petite frame and had suffered major depression, asthma and digestive issues for many years. In addition, she suspected that she was very likely on the verge of becoming diabetic, if she wasn’t already. “My father was a doctor, and I grew up knowing a lot about health and medicine. I also had a need to figure things out for myself rather than consult doctors,” Jean says. “So although I was never diagnosed with diabetes, I figured it out simply from the way I felt. It seemed like my blood sugar was on sort of a rollercoaster, because I went from feeling high and exhausted to feeling hypoglycemic.” She also had a family history of diabetes and realized that’s where she was headed. I know...

Gleevec’s false dawn or how we’re losing the war on cancer

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

The cancer drug known as Gleevec (United Stated) or Glivec (Europe) is the unquestioned superstar of the genetic approach to cancer. It is the LeBron James, Michael Jordan and Wilt Chamberlain all rolled up into one. It is used in the treatment of chromic myelogenous leukemia (CML), a relatively rare cancer. Before Gleevec, CML killed 2300 Americans and after Gleevec, in 2009, it only killed 470 people – all using an oral medication with virtually no side effects. This is a truly amazing drug, so dramatically successful that it was thought to be the herald of an entirely new era of chemotherapy. At its introduction in the early 2000s, it was the dawn of a new age of targeted genetic ‘cures’ for cancer. Gleevec was supposed to be the beginning, not the end. But like any one-hit wonder, the first turned out to be the best. Genetic treatments will work wonders for genetic diseases, but the specific circumstances surrounding CML did not apply to most of the common cancers...

“But people tend to greet any study with skepticism if it suggests a food that tastes good might not be killing us. There’s something about deprivation we seem to associate with health and virtue.” says Faye Flam in her Bloomberg op-ed on dietary fat taboos as puritanism, not science.   In case you missed any of these newsworthy stories, here is a wrap on the best real-food-more-fat headlines last month. Understanding the cancer-sugar-obesity link: The LA Times reports that science points to cancer risk resulting not just from eating too much (or weighing too much), but from eating too much refined carbohydrate, especially sugar.  Fortune reports on a curious interaction between a cancer gene and a sugar molecule that may begin to explain how sugary diets contribute to cancer risk. Plus, the CDC reports on the rise of incidence rates for cancers linked to obesity. The Endocrine Society puts the story of a dangerous imbalance caused by...
