CAGE-FREE VS. FREE-RANGE MEAT & EGGS
Meat utilization has gotten inseparable from being “American,” and numerous individuals don’t consider a feast without some type of creature protein as being “finished.” But, regardless of the omnipresence of meat, eggs, and dairy in the U.S. very few individuals see how animals in the farming business are raised, butchered, and conveyed to their nearby supermarkets.
WHY CHICKEN MEAT IS CHEAPER THAN BREAD?
Have you ever wondered why today’s “valuable” everyday chicken can be cheaper, a pound for a pound, than bread? Cheap chicken has become the “healthier” meat of choice for most buyers, with sales booming and growing by 20% in the UK since 2000. But is it really cheap or healthy?
CHEAP FOOD IS MEDICALLY EXPENSIVE
The food we eat plays a central role in our health. The epidemics of our time – obesity, heart disease, type 2 diabetes – are closely linked with unhealthy eating habits. But eating healthy is also expensive, making it a particular challenge for 12% of US households, who worry about being able to afford enough food each month.

PROPIONATE EFFECTS ON WEIGHT REDUCTION, CRAVINGS AND DIABETES IN GLOBESITY BOOTCAMP FOR THE OBESE
Propionate produced in the gut as a result of bacterial fermentation reduces energy intake and appetite, regulates adipogenesis, and reduces adipose tissue inflammation, finally resulting in weight loss.
EFFECTS OF VITAMIN C ON WEIGHT REDUCTION, CRAVINGS AND DIABETES IN GLOBESITY BOOTCAMP FOR THE OBESE
Vitamin C decreases weight by increasing fat metabolism by 30% and reducing the inflammation of adipocytes. Vitamin C also increases the concentration of adiponectin, leptin, and insulin sensitivity.
Vitamin C decreases cravings by improving glycemic control and repairing and protecting brain centers responsible for serotonin and leptin sensitivity.
Vitamin C improves diabetes control by improving insulin sensitivity, glycemic control, oxidative stress, and immune responses.
TYRAMINE EFFECTS ON CRAVINGS AND DIABETES IN GLOBESITY BOOTCAMP FOR THE OBESE
Tyramine reduces cravings by increasing the concentration of dopamine and norepinephrine.
Tyramine reduces the quantity of insulin required to maintain normal blood glucose levels by stimulating glucose transport in adipocytes.
L-TRYPTOPHAN EFFECTS ON WEIGHT REDUCTION, CRAVINGS AND DIABETES IN GLOBESITY BOOTCAMP FOR THE OBESE
L-Tryptophan, acting via serotonergic neurons in hypothalamic feeding center, alters satiety and food preference, decreases carbohydrate cravings, carbohydrate intake, and daily energy intake, and promotes weight loss.
L-Tryptophan, either endogenous or exogenous, decreases craving. Tryptophan levels are reduced in obese individuals (by 18-25%) and dietary tryptophan administration suppresses carbohydrate craving (by 40%).
L-Tryptophan increases insulin and incretins secretion. The effect results in better glycemic control in diabetics.
CAYENNE PEPPER EFFECTS ON WEIGHT REDUCTION, CRAVINGS AND DIABETES IN GLOBESITY BOOTCAMP
Cayenne pepper significantly reduces weight (by 2%) and fat mass (by 7.8%) by increasing energy expenditure (by 13%) and decreasing ad libitum food intake resulting in ~960 calorie deficit per day. In an average 118 kg (260 lb) client, this is 2.4 kg (5.3 lbs) weight loss, 9.2 kg (20 lbs) fat loss, and 4 kg (8.8 lbs) increase in lean mass.
Cayenne pepper reduces cravings by 13.9% as a result of improved glycaemic control and reduced ghrelin levels.
Cayenne pepper reduces postprandial blood glucose levels by 10% resulting in improved glucose control and decreased risk of long-term complications.
CITRUS AURANTIUM EFFECTS ON WEIGHT REDUCTION, CRAVINGS AND DIABETES IN GLOBESITY BOOTCAMP FOR THE OBESE
Citrus aurantium decreases weight by up to 2.4 kg (5.3 lbs) in 1 week. Citrus aurantium increases the overall metabolism of fats and lipids by increasing epinephrine stimulation and increases the thermic effect of food by 29% in women.
Citrus aurantium decreases cravings by increasing the synthesis of insulin and dopamine, improving insulin sensitivity, suppressing ghrelin synthesis, protecting the liver from oxidative stress, and decreasing depression and anxiety.
Citrus aurantium improves insulin sensitivity and its synthesis by decreasing proliferation of adipocytes and fat accumulation. It also protects the liver from oxidative stress thus improving its ability to metabolize glucose.

SUPPORTING CLINICAL RESEARCH ON CRAVINGS IN GLOBESITY BOOTCAMP FOR THE OBESE
Obesity is caused by overeating, consuming unhealthy food, and satisfying cravings. We propose that while overeating is strongly linked to emotions and consuming unhealthy food relates to poor education, cravings are a medical condition responsible for the majority of unnecessary calories. Cravings differ from hunger in that hunger can be postponed, whereas cravings require immediate satisfaction for a specific substance such as sugar or fat (e.g. cakes, burgers, ice cream). Research proves that cravings are caused by the imbalance of gut flora, blood glucose levels, brain chemicals (mainly neurotransmitters), and five specific hormones (ghrelin, dopamine, epinephrine, norepinephrine, and serotonin).

EFFECTS OF SWEETENERS ON WEIGHT LOSS, CRAVINGS, AND DIABETES
Sugar is made from equal parts of fructose and glucose. Almost all sugars and sweeteners activate the brain reward system, but to different extents. For instance, fructose consumption is accompanied by a higher activity rise in the brain reward system and less satiety inducing. The effect is seen to a relatively less extent in glucose, saccharin, and sucralose.
BLESSED NIGHT +
Magnesium Magnesium deficiency is associated with type 2 diabetes and obesity (Lecube 2012, Psaltopoulou 2010, Schulze 2007, Guerrero-Romero 2002). Magnesium supplementation results in improved glucose tolerance and decreased cravings (Abraham 1983). Magnesium supplementation promotes weight loss in obese patients (Champagne 2008). Magnesium supplementation decreases

DIGESTIVE SYSTEM OF THE OBESE VS. NON-OBESE
Obesity results from increased energy intake and decreased energy expenditure. The digestive (aka gastrointestinal or GI) system has a key role in the pathogenesis of obesity. Changes in digestive system hormones, digestive tract structure and motility and the inhibition of mechanisms that restrict calorie intake result in weight gain. However, It is not clear if digestive system changes cause or are affected by obesity (Acosta 2014).
RAISING SEROTONIN NATURALLY WITHOUT CALORIES
Elevated brain serotonin levels are necessary for some human functions including elevated ‘happy’ mood and reduced weights. Besides pharmacological interventions that can increase serotonin levels and are therefore useful in the treatment and control of disorders like depression, anxiety, and possibly obesity, there are some non-pharmacologic ‘natural’ ways to increase brain serotonin levels, elevate mood, decrease anxiety and as a result, control appetite and promote weight loss.
NEW BMI VS. OLD BMI: IS IT TIME TO REVISE BMI?
The new calculations are based on the results of many researches regarding variations in body composition in different races, genders, and ages. The highlights from the researches are reviewed here. Based on these, a mathematical average has been calculated for each factor and the change in body density due to changes in body composition has been deduced.
THE HIDDEN DANGERS OF BARIATRIC SURGERIES
There is limited statistical information about the dangers of bariatric surgery. Patients, therefore, undergo surgery without being aware or fully understanding the life-threatening risks involved. Every patient needs to know what their risks are, the severe, ongoing complications suffered post-surgery, and most importantly, that there are alternatives to bariatric surgery.
EFFECTS OF RED MEAT ON WEIGHT REDUCTION, CRAVINGS AND DIABETES IN GLOBESITY BOOTCAMP FOR THE OBESE
The common definition considers red meat as a meat with a darker color before and after cooking. However, in nutrition, red meat is defined as any meat that has more myoglobin than white meat. Red meat is defined as all meats obtained from mammals (regardless of cut or age) as they have more myoglobin (United States Department of Agriculture). This includes beef, veal, lamb, pork, and also a leg of chicken and turkey (the latter are considered white by common definition). Fish and poultry (excluding legs) are considered white meat.
NO CALORIES 4 HOURS BEFORE SLEEP EFFECTS ON WEIGHT REDUCTION IN GLOBESITY BOOTCAMP REGIMEN
Post-dinner snacking leads to weight gain through the increased caloric intake (Waller, 2004). Nocturnal snacking increases sugar levels. When sugar levels are increased, hormones such as insulin, ghrelin, and leptin, are activated and specific systems in the body begin to work (Kalergis, 2003). As the body becomes more alert through glucose metabolism, it may be difficult to switch off and fall asleep (Kristen, 2007). As shown in our other document, inadequate sleep causes weight gain. Women and men consume 15.3% and 9.2% more calories when deprived of sleep, respectively (St-Onge, 2011).
THEOBROMINE EFFECTS ON WEIGHT REDUCTION, CRAVINGS AND DIABETES IN GLOBESITY BOOTCAMP FOR THE OBESE
Theobromine may have weight loss potential by enhancing other weight loss drugs and reducing body fat percentage.
Theobromine may reduce cravings by inhibiting the synergism between factors involved in cravings.
Theobromine reduces insulin resistance and also the risk of long term complications in diabetic individuals, such as vascular, renal, and ocular complications.
SALIX ALBA. L EFFECTS ON WEIGHT REDUCTION, CRAVINGS AND DIABETES IN GLOBESITY BOOTCAMP FOR THE OBESE
Salicin decreases weight by inhibiting the inflammation of adipocytes and increasing the release of fatty acids.
Salicin reduces cravings by improving glycemic control and increasing the concentration of tryptophan and serotonin released from the brain.
Salicin increases the secretion and sensitivity of insulin and protects the pancreas from inflammatory actions resulting in better glycemic control.
5-HTP EFFECTS ON WEIGHT REDUCTION, CRAVINGS AND DIABETES IN GLOBESITY BOOTCAMP FOR THE OBESE-
5-HTP (750mg to 900mg per day) increases satiety and decreases carbohydrate and food intake, promoting weight loss.
Serotonin decrease in the brain induces craving for carbohydrates and 5-HTP prevents craving.
Brain tryptophan is decreased in diabetic patients. Although 5-HTP is not shown to decrease blood glucose in diabetics in human studies, it has other beneficial effects in these patients including weight loss.
SILICON DIOXIDE EFFECTS ON WEIGHT REDUCTION, CRAVINGS AND DIABETES IN GLOBESITY BOOTCAMP FOR THE OBESE
Silicon dioxide improves metabolism and calorie burning in humans resulting in weight reduction.
Silicon Dioxide prevents the development of spontaneous diabetes in rats, possibly through enhancing host mechanisms effective in preventing the destruction of pancreatic beta cells.
MAGNESIUM EFFECTS ON WEIGHT REDUCTION, CRAVINGS AND DIABETES IN GLOBESITY BOOTCAMP FOR THE OBESE
Magnesium supplementation in obese patients promotes weight loss and prevents complications of weight-loss regimens.
Magnesium supplementation reduces cravings as a result of improved glucose control and increased synthesis and sensitivity of serotonin.
Decreased magnesium levels increase the risk of diabetes. In contrast, magnesium supplementation in diabetic patients decreases fasting plasma glucose, HbA1c, and weight and therefore helps to control diabetes.
