你是一个小麦atholic吗？
这是一个实验：Eliminate any food made with or containing wheat for the next four weeks and see what happens.
This means no bread, pasta, crackers, cookies, breads, chips, pancakes, waffles, breading on chicken, rolls, bagels, cakes, breakfast cereal. It doesn't matter if it's whole grain, whole wheat, or white.全部小麦产品。
My prediction: You will lose weight-5, 10, 15 lbs is not uncommon. Most people experience a surge in energy, increased alertness, disappearance of the afternoon energy "slump." Have blood levels checked and most will see drops in blood sugar, rise in HDL, drop in triglycerides. In addition, tests like c-reactive protein that measure hidden inflammation will plummet. Anyone with diabetes will experience improved sugar control. Blood pressure drops.
(The experiment works only if you do not otherwise engage in an unhealthy diet. So, this doesn't mean eliminate wheat but indulge in daily Snickers, soft drinks, and cupcakes. The remainder of your diet should stay with healthy choices; see below.)
Is this "official"?
这是not官方的。
The USDA Food Pyramid recommends that American adults get at least 6-8 "ounce-equivalents" of grains per day; each ounce-equivalent consists of 1 slice of bread, 1 cup of ready-to-eat cereal, or
½ cup of cooked rice, cooked pasta, or cooked cereal. In other words, up to 6 slices of whole grain bread, or 6 cups of Shredded Wheat cereal, or 3 cups of whole wheat pasta would all fit comfortably into the USDA Food Pyramid recommendations. The American Heart Association (AHA) provides similar advice, suggesting that 50-60% of daily calories come from grains, which should be mostly whole grains.
In 2007, these "official" recommendations have come to be accepted as gospel.
Hogwash I say this advice is patent, unadulterated nonsense of the sort that is causing rampant heart disease, diabetes, and obesity in the U.S. In my view, adhering to such advice willnotreduce heart disease, but will reduce good HDL, raise triglycerides, increase the dreaded small LDL, raise blood sugar, increase blood pressure, and make you fat.
是的，对你所说的一切都涉及关于胆固醇和心健康饮食的矛盾。消除饱和脂肪，包括您的饮食中大量的全谷物食品，所有部分的心健康营养计划。在我看来，这与一天一包Marlboros保持一天，让医生远离。
“纤维”一直是“碳水化合物”的政治上和社会上可接受的沟通。但随着纤维的成分就像糖一样。
有趣的是，消除小麦但保持其他健康的饮食，纤维摄入量up。Loren Cordain博士的古饮食名人气非常清楚地证明了这种现象。纤维而不是来自小麦，来自螺母，蔬菜和水果。
作为一个例子,让我来告诉你关于莱斯利,帕特ient I saw in my office just last week.With a heart scan score of 1222, Leslie could be in deep trouble in short order. Heart scans measure the amount of atherosclerotic plaque in the heart's coronary arteries. A score like Leslie's is high, high enough to pose a risk for heart attack as great as 25% per year (unless effective preventive action is taken).
At 64, Leslie had gained nearly 40 lbs since she'd given up many activities caring for a husband who'd developed health problems. A tall woman at 5 ft 9 inches, she held her 202 lbs well, but her cholesterol patterns were a disaster:
LDL胆固醇为248 mg / dl
HDL 38 mg/dl
Triglycerides 241 mg/dl
此外，血糖处于112mg / dl的前糖尿病率，C反应蛋白（隐藏炎症的量度）高3.0mg / L，血压在140/84略高。
最重要的是，90％的Leslie的LDL颗粒是小的，这种品种更容易引起心脏病，通过沉迷于小麦产品来放大30-70％的图案。（实际上，小型LDL粒子是美国心脏病发作的第一原因！更多在未来的帖子中。）
Leslie的饮食由加工小麦产品占主导地位：全麦面包，零食的椒盐脆饼，全麦面食。Leslie承认她喜欢这些产品，似乎无法获得足够的东西。
Leslie是一款无助的“小麦艾山”。
莱斯利持怀疑态度，担心她会一直饿着饥饿，几乎没有什么可以吃。相反，当她三个月后回到办公室时，她报告说，选择健康的食物很容易，那些常常遭受遭受的饥饿剧痛的贪得无厌的饥饿剧，而且她感到很好，发现更多的能量比她多年来的能量。
她也失去了30磅。
Leslie的胆固醇图案也反映了小麦产品的减肥和消除：她将LDL胆固醇滴100多个，HDL飙升超过20毫克，小LDL剧烈，血糖和血压升高到正常范围内。
我每周都会看到Leslie的几次结果。对于我们那些与Leslie这样的模式的模式，或者只是腹部积累的肥胖，无论是谁的单一策略，我都认为与美国农业部食品金字塔和AHA建议相反。
In reality, I do not believe that all fibers and carbohydrates are bad. Flaxseed, ground and used as a cereal or added to other dishes, can be a healthy food, since very little or none is metabolized to sugar. Oat bran is another great choice. However, in my experience, whole wheat foods are an enormously evil factor in diet.
That's not what the Heart Association says!
None of this jives with the American Heart Association Total Lifestyle Changes or the USDA food pyramid.
In my experience practicing cardiology for the past 15 years, a small quantity of whole grains may be good for children, slender people, and the extremely physically active. But not for the majority of Americans.
In 2007, the big problem area in diet for most Americans is processed carbohydrates. What carbohydrate占主导地位？Yes, wheat. It isn't unusual for someone to be eating wheat products five times a day: shredded wheat cereal for breakfast, pretzels for a snack, a low-fat turkey breast sandwich on whole grain bread for lunch, crackers for a snack, whole wheat pasta and green salad for dinner. Sounds healthy, doesn't it? Except it makes you fat and precipitates all the factors that cause this rampant scourge in our country: heart disease.
If you need convincing, try your own experiment. Eliminate-not reduce, but消除,小麦产品来自您的饮食，无论包裹上的花式标签是否都表示健康，高纤维，“健康低脂肪零食”，“心脏健康”等，我发现令人惊讶的小麦消灭easier而不是削减回来。我相信这是因为小麦是有力上瘾。告诉酗酒时，现在喝一杯，然后没事 - 它只是不起作用。他们需要无酒精。我们大多数人都需要是小麦 -自由。
如果你用大量的生杏仁，核桃，山核桃，向日葵和南瓜种子取代了丢失的卡路里，你将不会饿。使用健康的橄榄油，油菜油和亚麻籽油（虽然不用于油炸）;;将砂浆和燕麦麸在酸奶，奶酪等。和更多的瘦蛋白，如瘦牛肉，鸡肉，火鸡，鱼和鸡蛋。
如果它对你不起作用，也许你是小麦产品可以的小少数民族。但如果你失去了20磅，感觉更好，并且在胆固醇模式和血糖的血糖中有所改善，那么你的实验成功了。
