I recently back from a trip to the UK and France to visit family and friends. It was great to see all, food, good food and even do some unexpected foraging (chestnuts, mushrooms, walnuts, blackberries). French are in a better overall health as the most industrialised nations. Obesity, diabetes and heart disease rates are all significantly lower than in the United States, although still much higher than in non-industrial cultures. Here are a few of my observations about French food:
The French diet contains very much fat, mostly from traditional animal sources such as milk and pork. Industrial seed oils have in the diet in the twentieth century, although not to the same extent as in the most prosperous Nations. People seem to think that eat much fat is unhealthy, in particular the younger generation but do it anyway. I had dinner with my family in a traditional restaurant in Lyon (a "Bouchon Lyonnais" called Stepharo) last week. Before we ordered were immediately out crispy fried pieces of pork skin and fat (I'm not claim, which is healthy!). The Starter was a salad: a bed of lettuce stacked with chicken liver, herring and "The pig's feet" high. The pigs feet were the essential gobs of pork fat. It was a very nice meal that continue I, that later describe in the post.I think it is worth noting that in southern France ist.Ist this the "Mediterranean diet"?
French people eat organs. Yes, you have the memo only edible tissue muscle meat is never. A typical butcher or even grocery store have tripe, liver, kidney and sausage on full display as next blood with the flesh.If you a French person angry would like to try to sell you a chicken or a rabbit without liver and gizzard Herzen.Das main dish at the Stepharo was a great "Andouilette", or tripe sausages, baked in mustard sauce. This was a typical traditional restaurant, a meeting place for Gastronauts.
French people violently defend the quality of their food. Have you heard the acronym AOC? It stands for "Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée" or designation of origin. A familiar example is champagne that has the AOC label. You can call your sparkling champagne unless it comes from the Champagne region. However, is only half the story. AOC identifies a specific traditional production method, in this case called the "méthode champenoise". The AOC label can apply to a variety of foods including wine, butter, cheese, honey, mustard and seafood, and is a guarantee of quality and tradition. 44 Cheeses have currently the AOC label, and these are generally available in markets and shops across the country (1). These are not fancy products Alvia - doing only the rich many of you are quality foods that are accessible to almost anyone. AOC defines many aspects of the manufacture of cheese, often requires a minimum of pasture specify time and livestock breeds. The United States has a few products that are regulated in a similar way, such as Bourbon whiskey, but in general we are far behind in securing food quality and transparency. French Cook people. There are fewer outsourcing France food processing for several reasons.One reason is that restaurants are usually expensive.However, this trend is changing.I don't think that optimally by any means obsolete.you eat French food a lot of white flour, some sugar, seed oils and other processed Lebensmitteln.Aber I think the French diet has many good qualities, and it provides a number of problems for the mainstream concept of healthy Nahrungsmitteln.Daher "French paradox" certainly .Posted ByStephanat7: 00 PM

The Twinkie diet for fat loss
The experiment
I have several emails from readers about a current experiment from nutrition Professor Mark Haub get at the Kansas State University (thanks to Josh and others).He was eating a reduced-calorie diet that his calories from junk food came in 2 / 3: Twinkies, hostess and little Debbie cake, Dorito corn chips and sweetened cereals (1) .look this junk food calorie diet (800 calories per day deficit) lost 27 pounds in two months.
Therefore junk food not lead, fat gain, and the only thing belly body determines how much you eat and Bewegung.Recht?
Discussion
Start we can agree with a few things, which most people. If you eat no food at all, you lose fat mass. If you voluntarily force-feed with a large surplus of food, you will gain fat mass, eligibility of the excess carbohydrates or FAT (2).So calories obviously have something to do with fat mass.
But of course the situation in real life is much more subtle. Because a pound of body fat contains approximately 3500 calories, an excess of 80 calories per day (1 piece of toast) should lead the food to a weight of 8 kg fat per year.If you are distracted and forget your toast food, 8 kg per year, should lose fat Conversely, finally for a slim person dangerous wäre.Das that is why we all record every crumb of the food we eat to determine his exact calorie content and match the recording just with our energy consumption, one to keep stable weight.
Times Oh, don't we moment? Then run as so many people hold a stable weight for years and decades?And how do wild animals maintain a stable body fat percentage (except when preparing for sleep) even in the face of food surpluses?Including nursing lab rats and mice a whole diet fed a stable body fat percentage given literally unlimited food, if in a small cage with nothing to do but eat?
The answer is that the body not stupid.Over hundreds of millions of years, we have developed sophisticated systems, the "energy homeostasis" pflegen.Mit act in other words, to regulate these systems fat mass and keep it within the optimum Bereichs.Die evolutionary pressure operation here are obvious: too little fat mass and an organism are vulnerable to hunger; too much, and an organism are less agile and less efficient when the moving and Reproduktion.Energie homeostasis is such a fundamental part of survival, the simplest organisms rules.
Not only is it clear that we have a system of energy homeostasis, we also know a thing or two about how it works. early studies showed that lesioning a part of the brain called the ventromedial hypothalamus causes massive obesity (3;)(This applies also in humans, if results in an interruption of cancer) .Ermittler discovered several genetic mutations in rats and mice, massive obesity

Glucose tolerance in non-industrial crops
Background
Glucose is the predominant blood sugar and a body the two main sources of fuel (the other fatty acids). Glucose in one form or another, is the most important form of digestible dietary carbohydrate in almost all human diet.Strength consists of long chains of glucose molecules that quickly released and absorbed during Verdauung.saccharose or table sugar, a glucose and one fructose molecule separated before absorption.
Blood glucose is essential for life, but it can be also harmful when it tries to much davon.Daher the body it within a relatively narrow range to halten.normalen sober-glucose is about between 70 and 90 mg / dL
