Greetings
from Dr. Christian & the Staff of Inside Outside
It's
May! Spurs in the Playoffs and Graduations and then summer vacations
start! Let's make the most of this summer and focus on YOU by living
"The Inside Outside Way of Life!"
and take it to a new level!
All of our clients know we have always advocated a modified Zone/Paleo
approach to nutrition during the reduced calorie portion of the program
when clients are still trying to lose fat. This turns out to be about 85
to 100 grams of carbohydrate per day mainly from fiber rich vegetables
and a little fruit. During a non-weight loss program you will have
to add back more quality carbohydrate and fat and the diet will be more
classic Zone. Over the years, I have read about low carbohydrate and
nutritional ketosis eating but felt it was a little too radical, but
several Doctors I respect have written favorably about it and I decided
to give it a try. For the past 6 months I have limited carbohydrates to
25 to at most 50gms a day. These carbohydrates came from the added sugar
in 2 glasses of red wine wine and 2 teaspoons of honey at night. 25gms
of carbohydrates is only 100cal. I also ate 150gm Protein which is
600cal. So between carbs and protein I was eating only 700cal. My
Total Daily Energy requirement is about 2000cal, so I had
to
get 1300cal from Fat and Alcohol. My 2 glasses of red wine accounted for
300cal, so 1000cal a day or 50% of my calories are from fat. My
fat sources are 500cal from 4 tablespoons of medium chain triglycerides
(converted to ketones in liver) and 500cal of long chain fatty acids
from butter, eggs, meat and olives. This keeps me in moderate ketosis by
urine dipstick almost 24hrs a day. I make sure I get my Vitamins
and Fiber.
Results: No Carbohydrate Craving, No lack of
Energy, No Hypoglycemic feelings, No decrement in workout intensity and much
better mental clarity and focus.
So, you are asking, isn't fat bad
for you?? Check out the next article in this newsletter!!
At Inside Outside whether it's Zone/Paleo/Low Carb/Ketosis we understand
it.
It's all part of "The Inside Outside Way of Life"! "Some do it
Different,
None do it better".
"The Fat of
the Land" by Arctic Explorer V. Stefansson and the Video "SugarHolics"
by Jack LaLanne were produced in 1956 and 1960. Stefansson had
noted on his Arctic Expeditions that the natives live almost entirely on
Fat and Protein and were in great health with no dental decay. He
wrote this book extolling the virtues of a high fat diet at a time when,
because of President Eisenhower's heart attack, fat was being attacked as
the main cause of heart disease. Around the same time, Jack
LaLanne was convinced that the real enemy was added sugar and coined the
term "SugarHolics". Turns out these pioneers were basically ignored for
over 50 years due to our governments health policy to promote a low fat
and high carbohydrate diet!! In the 1990's Dr. Sear's with "The
Zone" and Dr. Atkins with "The Atkins Diet" revived the principles of
Stefansson and LaLanne and that was the start of the great reversal of
the policies that have been in my opinion responsible for our obesity and Type II Diabetes
epidemics!! The change was strengthened by Dr. Eades of "Protein
Power' and Dr. Cordain of "The Paleo Diet" and many others are now
promoting the principles of the dietary program we are sharing with our
clients. Take a few minutes to review some of these links and you will
appreciate that the tide indeed is turning, at least for those who have
access to high quality protein, fat and carbohydrate.
Unfortunately, a large portion of the world's population are totally
dependent on three monocrops, wheat, corn and rice which are dependent
on 3 non-sustainable resources, topsoil, oil (for production of
artificial fertilizer) and water.
When I went
to my first Zone workshop in the Mid 90's, Dr. Sears said "I want to
save the species".
That is what our goal is, to save those who want to
be saved and can be saved!

Since it's inception, an important mission at Inside
Outside has been to make
a difference in our community. The best way we
have found to do this is to
make contributions to Non-Profit organizations
through silent auctions at their
annual fund raising events, seminars, health fairs or direct
donations. We would
consider it
an honor for any request for items to be donated or
for Dr. Christian to speak to
Non-Profit and other organizations/businesses
in San Antonio and surrounding cities. Check out our
Community Service Page chronicling Inside
Outside's Community Service efforts since 2004!
Over the past 4 months we have made donations
for the following Silent Auctions, Raffles or Door Prizes organized
by these fine Non-Profit Organizations!! this is one of our
favorite ways to support them!
