Written by | published on

You're insulin resistant and trying to lose weight with high protein intakes? Then you got to read this article carefully... High protein diets can help you lose weight while maintaining muscle mass. This should make them the ideal choice of diabetic patients, many of whom are suffering from weight issues that are often not corollary, but rather causatively involved in the development of type II diabetes. Unfortunately, studies in type I diabetics and preliminary evidence from type II diabetics and other insulin resistant individuals suggests that - if the disease has progressed significantly - eating too much protein can be a problem, as well, one that may worsen the ill effects of diabetes. Having high amounts of protein after  fasting  may ruin your glucose levels?! Breakfast and Circadian Rhythm Does Meal Timing Matter? Habits Determine Effects of Fasting Fasting Works - It Does, Right!? Does the Break- Fast-Myth Break? Breakfast? (Un?) Biased Re...

Funny or obscene? A woman w/ low vitamin B and thus fortified cornflakes is among the "top images" Google will show you, when you search for B-vits There is an often overlooked reason I am addressing thiamin (B1), riboflavin (B2), panthotenic acid (B5) and pyridoxine (B6) in one installment of the "There is More to Glucose Control Than Carbohydrates"-Series (read previous installments ): They are all necessary to store glycogen in the liver (Supplee. 1942). In general, a whole foods diet, as recommended in previous SuppVersity articles will easily cover the B-vitamin needs of the average sedentary and physically active individual - in spite of minimally increased requirements for B2 & B6, in particular (Manore. 2000; Woolf. 2008). You can learn more about this topic at the SuppVersity Proteins, Peptides & Blood Glucose SFA, MUFA, PUFA & Blood Glucose Vitamin D & Diabetes Glucose Manager Calcium? Flush & No-Flush Niacin ...

85 sessions (general fitness class, three times/week, 55-60 min/session from weeks 8-10 to weeks 38-39 of pregnancy are nothing but healthy for mother + child (Barakat. 2013) Obese mothers with gestational diabetes are more than just a financial burden. That's what the SuppVersity Figures of the Week clearly indicate. According to a recently published paper from the National University of Ireland Galway woman who develop gestational diabetes during pregnancy (mostly due to pre-existing extra fat -pounds; not BMI), produce 34% higher health-care costs (Gillespie. 2013). Just as the 75% increase in the necessity to have the kids being delivered by cesarean section , this would still be tolerable, though, if their poor offspring did not also have a increased risk of being born with pathological ventricular hypertrophy (Ullmo. 2007) and a 214% higher likelihood of having to be admitted to the neonatal unit , which, in turn, is associated with "increased and/or aberrant ad...

Image 1: Stevia is sweeter than sugar, healthier than sugar and could even help reverse some of the damage sugar may already have done to your pancreas. I know that a few of you were almost furious, when I had the audacity to mention the case-report on the pro-cortisol effects of stevia in the On Short Notice post on Saturday, August 18, 2012 ; and though I did emphasize that this was most likely something like an allergic reaction and/or an issue with solvents, heavy metals ( click here for data on heavy metals in stevia leaves; based on Das. 2012), or whatever else may have been in the specific stevia product the lady used; I suspect that you will like today's blogpost which is basically an update on the beneficial effects stevia could have on your overall and metabolic health, much better. So what's the latest about stevia, then? Previous studies have already hinted at the fact that the benefits of the use of stevia go well beyond a mere reduction in energy intake...
