Book DescriptionObesity is the leading cause of diabetes mellitus (type II) Commonly referred to as "adult onset diabetes", there is an alarming increase in the incidence of diabetes mellitus among overweight and obese adolescents Diabetes mellitus dueto obesity is likely to be a major public health crisis in just a few years It is озсэд more difficult for obese and overweight individuals with diabetes to lose weight; compared to obese and overweight individuals without diabetes The great news; however, is that diabetes mellitus can be reversed with a relatively modest weight loss This book addresses weight loss for individuals who have diabetes mellitus The plateau-proof diet is modified to compensate for the deficiencies in macro-nutrient metabolism, and the CP and FP indices are adjusted to facilitate rapid weight loss Why is the plateau-proof diet the best weight loss diet? The plateau-proof diet is the best weight loss diet by a vast margin The plateau-proof diet is vastly superior to all of the other weight loss diets because of two important factors Weight loss dieting is simply a matter of manipulation of the 3 macronutrients - carbs, fat and protein All the weight loss diets either lower the amount of one macronutrient, e g low-carb diets, or they reduce the amount of total calories consumed In other words, all the diets use a one-dimensional approach Obesity is however a complex multidimensional problem and a one-dimensional approach is simply insufficient to treatit The plateau-proof diet uses simple mathematical formulas that take into account all three of the macronutrients, based on their peculiar characteristics as determined by biomedical and clinical research There is no macronutrient that is unaccounted for in the plateau-proof diet formulas The formulas were applied to hundreds of food items, from which tables were made that show what foods to eat and what to avoid The plateau-proof diet attacks obesity from all the pertinent angles, providing the first and only treatment for obesity with this multidimensional capability It is the first and only weight loss diet that is actually a treatment for overweight and obesity A common characteristic of all the existing weight loss diets is the weight loss plateau This is the point where weight loss stops prematurely although the diet and dietary habits are the same The plateau-proof diet has innovatively addressed this problem by using a rotation system The rotation system prevents the body fromadapting to the diet, hence eliminating the weight loss plateau Because of the rotation system, the plateau-proof diet is dynamic, whereas all of the other existing weight loss diets are not The human body is a highly dynamic entity that invariably adapts to things that cause changes to its norm A low-carb diet, for example, is a deviation from what the body knows as normal When the body is placed on the low-carb diet, it will invariably adapt to it, and the diet will no longer be able to cause weight loss To prevent adaptation, the plateau-proof diet uses a simple rotation, making it the first dynamic weight loss diet The end result is that the plateau-proof diet is the only weight loss diet that can continue to cause weight loss to the point of desired weight, and then maintain the weight loss There is no other weight loss diet available today that can do this With all the other weight loss diets, there is usually an initial weight loss; however, this weight loss stops prematurely (the weight loss plateau) even though nothing has changed with the diet In almost all cases there is relapse into weight gain after the weight loss plateau In solving this plateau problem, the plateau-proof diet is the first and only weight loss diet that is a real solution for overweight and obesity The science behind the plateau-proof diet The Plateau-proof Diet Foundation has invested heavily in biomedical and clinical research in inventing and developing the plateau-proof diet The plateau-proof diet is a reflection of the state-of-the-art in biomedical and clinical research Basically we have identified the reasons why other weight loss diets do not work, and have invented and developed the first and only weight loss diet that is a treatment for obesity We took all scientific findings in the field of obesity and weight loss into account in developing this diet We reduced these scientific findings into simple mathematical formulas, and then applied these formulas to hundreds offoods to determine which foods to eat and which to avoid Both carbohydrates and fats are tagged to protein because of the following important facts: Protein is the only macronutrient that has normal metabolism in obesity The metabolism of both fatand carbohydrate is compromised and deficient Protein triggers thermogenesis shortly after it is eaten The body burns energy as heat during the process of thermogenesis In the absence of thermogenesis, this energy would be stored as fat in the body Since neither carbs nor fat induce thermogenesis, it is not such a bright idea swallowing them down without the right balance of protein Protein triggers the secretion of growth hormone during weight loss Growth hormone secretion is essential to maintain a lean body In obesity the secretion of growth hormone is compromised, and the blood level of growth hormone drops Weight loss by itself may not trigger the release of growth hormone; however, weight loss on a high-protein diet may trigger release of growth hormone It is easier to maintain weight loss when growth hormone is present in the blood Proteins may increase the rate of burning stored fat Studies have shown that high-protein in the diet have a direct effect on increasing the rate of breakdown of fat that is stored in fat cells A high-protein weight loss diet is particularly effective in decreasing gut (visceral) fat This is one way in which a high-protein diet will contribute to a favorable cardiovascular profile Additionally, it provides the esthetic value of a good waist to hip ratio Diets rich in protein affect satiety (feeling of fullness) faster, hence minimizing the risk of over eating High-proteins diets are safe for long-term use They are better for the health of the heart Using sound scientific facts such as these, and the state-of-the-art in biomedical and clinical research, The Plateau-proof Diet Foundation has invented and developed the best weight loss diet - the first and only weight loss diet that is actually considered a treatment for obesity.  Владимир2005 г 220 стр ISBN 0976815052.
