Victors Views

History is written by the survivors, and usually by the victors. This puts a biases on everything.  In talking to the other archery groundhog day coaches last night, it became apparent that there are those high school students that learn and those that game the system. This two separate learning philosophy require different styles of presentation; well suggest that there should be two separate styles. Is the same true of life and weight loss? I am not talking about the fat vs carbohydrates issue... that now is a non issue, but rather in learning style. Do we heavy people learn better in a literary/numerical style than the typical social interaction that we were raised in? I grew up in an obese family, and never learned good eating habits, just habits. Are these deeply intrenched habits that are causing me the issues that I have today? Is it a trained in belief of what is food, and how much? Is it a trained in concept that I should eat when hungry? Or that I should eat at least three time each day? Perhaps the default condition of humans at constant weight is to be hungry to give us motivation. Polyphagia is a bitch.

The objective of the two groups of students are quite different. One group is there to soak up knowledge, the marks are secondary. The other group is there to get the best mark with the least amount of work. OK, those guys make better marketers, salesman, scam artists, even executives, sight shooters, compound junkies, while the information collecting types become the engineers, medical types, the technical people and instinctive or barebow shooters. Do we have the same split in our population with respect to adopting a diet system strategy? If this is true the wordy people, those that know less hard information, are likely being heard the loudest. If this is correct, it is no wonder that weight loss is so difficult, and maintenance even harder.

The philosophy of going our own way, vs going along with the population or culture, family, becomes important. I never was much for following directions anyway, and when the direction are not clear, all I want is an address. In my previous life, I just hated people who will not give an address to job sites, just directions. Not only are most direction crap, those people are either control freaked or instinctual types, who give thing like "just before the red house turn left" land marks, and when I see the red house, I am past the corner, or there are multiple red houses.  They also cannot accept that their direction are poor, but it is all my fault as I am male and fat.

Now what does this all to do with the views of the victor? Well I have noticed that along with weight loss comes an attitude change. It is that attitude change that is being kept secret, not talked about, ignored. It is that attitude change that is critical to success in maintenance. What exactly that attitude change is is not necessarily apparent, but it must include some form of fixity of food philosophy, else we get pushed back into our old ways. One way to not be pushed around is to get out of the herd of humans. What interests the mob does not interest me, and what interest me does not interest the mob. We have too many choices, I think. History is always written by the survivors.

I do not care what the mob think and I know nothing.

The root of the obesity problem

The root of the obesity problem, as I see it, is that no one is willing to put in simple and direct terms, that we need to change our behavior and our thinking in a major way, to correct the problem.

Modern processed food is not fit for this humans consumption. Yous all just gonna have to suck it up buttercup. I am done holding back. Processed food includes anything that I could not make in my kitchen with little effort; 12 minutes, door to plate with George Foreman, or cast iron, more like 15 with the gas grill.

It is change: our judgement need to change, our sacred culture and belief system must also change or be changed. It is in realizing that much of what has been pushed as good nutrition is marketing based, not good nutrition. It is in recognizing that fat, per calorie, will keep hunger away longer than a calorie of carbohydrate. Calories are not equal in terms of satiation, nor in time to hunger, the satiety effect.  It is in recognizing that only eating fat only is the only way to accustom the body to burn fat.  Carbohydrates are not burned preferentially but out of defense against blood sugar. 

Once we become accustom to eating and burning fat, hunger is much less of a problem. That fat does not fix the munchies of food addiction, nor the munchies of maladaptive behavior, nor the munchies of some unknown physical or mental cause. Many of these are physical, and we just need to learn to live with these problems. Busy with other enjoyable activities is one of the methods to overcome the munchies. You cannot sit in front of the TV or computer and watch or do something that you would not do, if you had a choice.

The study of philosophy, instinctive barebow archery, cutting grass,  anything can be distraction. But how much distraction from life can we do?

It is obvious that the experts in any field think their field has the answers, but it is obvious that few understand all the different issues well enough to sort out the causes. Until the causes are understood, and corrections made, the problem will continue.

Our sacred culture and belief system may require to be brutally sacrificed. A major upheaval and rebuilding may be simpler than trying to fix a poor culture and belief system. Screw it, I am going to make waves within my fellows.
  

Glyphosphate Residue

Glyphosphate reduces the absorption of nutrients. Does this drive overeating?

Conclusion: wild meat, grass fed beef, and green vegs may be the way to go.

The realization, this is for life

About 30 years ago, when I had to stop doing physical work due to a back injury, I recognized that this is for the remainder of my life. I had lost a good tool in fighting overeating, that was physical work. Few ever agreed that one could have a real physical caused issue who's main symptom is wanting to much food. "It was all just willpower." Bullshit. The only thing we have control over is our judgement, our ability to agree or disagree with a proposition, and the few things that depend directly and solely on that ability to accept or reject a concept. Actions also depend on our ability to sell a call for action to the body, so we do not have absolute control over our actions.

Now I know that some of you will disagree, but that is your problem. Until you accept that you do not have absolute control over you actions, you are just deluding yourself. The degree of control of your actions that you have is dependent on your belief system, and your body, your desire, and many other factors, but the fact remains that no mind has absolute control over the body. Influences yes, but control, no.

The desire to overeat, in my case is physical. I accept that. If I, the mind, consciousness, allowed myself to respond as the body wished, I would be dead. I would gain weight at about a pound a day until death. That is my reality and has been for the last 60 years. I liken it to mild Pander-Willie; I only need a locked ward some of the time. No doctor has ever given me a diagnosis but I have never jumped through the hoops to find out either. As the GP said, we could spend a lot in trying to figure out the cause, but there is still no treatment. Learn to live with it.

Asshole that say "suck it up" just piss me off. They have no concept of the issue. Most of the people that I have met with this problem are dead, cremated, or burred. Gone on to nothing or a new posting, it does not mater. A few have lost much weight and like me, struggle to keep it off. Some have lost faith in the battle, and given up the struggle. These usually end up in wheel chairs before death or with major surgery on their digestive tracks or both, and still only a few keep their weight down. Death comes to all of us, but it is in the quality of life before death that we must explore solutions to this issue.

Most people know nothing of this problem, not even it's existence. That is your problem. I have chosen to explore the problem, looking for a solution. I have been lead down many blind allies, learning, but finding that there is no solution there. Some allies do help, some do not, so what. In the end I have the peace of death to look forward to. When life exists, death does not. When death exists, life does not. These are not in conflict, there is only a short transition.

I choose to hang out with those few, who like myself, know that we can manage better by altering our beliefs. Why does this work? I am not sure, but it seems that our beliefs have more influence over our body's action that our conscious mind does. That is not what popular media would suggest, but that is their problem. Ignorance is everywhere. We start out totally ignorant, and learn, one fact, one truth at a time. Some thing we learn wrong. Oh well. It is when these things cause us problems that we need to look at them and make changes, corrections. It is up to us to test for correctness. Many common beliefs are wrong. Accept that there is more wrong that right, as we can be wrong many ways and right only one.

Enough. What do I know anyway? 

By the way, I have been exposed to this shit all my life. http://www.drperlmutter.com/study/glyphosate-pathways-modern-diseases-ii-celiac-sprue-gluten-intolerance/

The Lettuce Effect

So why should a small butter lettuces plant cause hunger when eaten in the middle of the afternoon, while picking weeds? Valerie got me needing to explain.

It is not the carbohydrate, nor insulin reaction. The only thing that could happen that fast is some psychological or appetite signal, which is psychosomatic,not physical. OK, that type of hunger is totally psychological.

In dealing with obesity, there are four groups of problem, at least. These could be further divided, and some people (Phil Werdell) say three groups.

The first group have some physical problem that drives them to eat: hyperinsulinemia or insulin resistance, thyroid issues, adrenalin issues, some thing that produces excess hunger or appetite. These require some sort of physical intervention or extended mental effort to overcome what is a physical problem being overcome by mental/ behavioral effort. Think gay man behaving straight effort, long term, struggle.

The second group are normal people who are in a food rich environment, where there is continuous temptation. These people must learn to adapt to their environment, or change their environment to recover.

The third group, I will call maladaptive behavior, and may be emotional eating, compulsive eating, obsession driven, stress, boredom, lonely, tired, whatever. We need to learn real coping methods for situations, escape from that situation, recognizing there is no real solution for the situation, (learn acceptance of bullshit produced by others), whatever.

The fourth group that are defined as food addicts; there are chemicals within the food that cause a addiction like behavior, craving, desire, and withdrawal. This addiction may be behavioral in addition or instead of chemical.

Now there are a few of us that have all four described conditions. Food was plentiful, growing up in a big farm kitchen environment. Food was pushed and became a maladaptive behavior. Along the way I became dependent on food, addicted. Insulin resistance, at least, is physical. Recovery is a ongoing physical struggle of doling out suitable amounts of food to the body, all the while the body is desiring more food. Stewardship over the body, is the best term. Some of the time the body wins, some of the time the mind wins. Life is a bitch.

It is not a food - no food decision, for the body must also be distracted away from the food. Not a east proposition 24/7.         

does satiety exist

Does satiety signal really exist or is it just the absence of hunger?

When we eat, hunger, that gnawing gut feeling, 4 to many hours after we last ate is real. It does not take much food to relieve it a bit. Is satiety a feeling or the absence of one? I do not I have ever felt anything that I would call satiety after a moderate meal. I ate enough to be able to stop, yes, but I still want more, is my normal reaction. That is not satiety as defined. So the new mental message must be just that, satiety is eating enough to be able to not get more food, a negative  sort definition.

This reminds me of Epicurious's definition of pleasure, the absence of physical or mental, pain, torpor, angst, fear, despair, grief.

So is satiety just the absence of acute hunger?

Any opinions on the subject?

What do I know about this anyway?

Why would a few leaves of fresh lettuce,  eaten in the garden, make me hungry?

5 percent

A change in life style is required to beat the odds. Going no sugar, no grains may be a lifestyle change sufficient to bring about some long term change.

5 percent, OK, but over what period of time?

Causal chain

http://www.weightymatters.ca/2014/06/is-it-really-scientifically-impossible.html

We are obese because we overeat, so why do we overeat?

We overeat because we chose to satisfy hunger... and our hunger signal is set to high. To down regulate the hunger signal, we need to expose the receptor to leptin, and the receptors that see leptin are blocked by insulin. So we can either learn to live hungry or get our insulin level down, way down. To do that, LCHF is the way. Learn about the food we eat, and what the body needs. We need the food and physiological knowledge to adjust our diet to something that will work amid all the lies, deceit, miss-information and ignorance of what is true and right. Go back to the old ways, before the obesity problem was bad. If this is enough, good, you are a "normal eater", if not you have more issues.

So now that hunger is not the problem, we overeat because of a hoist of other reasons.

First, lets consider food addiction. Sugar, grains, wheat, O6 oils, endorphins, endocannopioids, hormones, alcohol, drugs, chemicals, caffeine, chocolate, stimulus, adrenalin, etc. are all addicting to some. So are you addicted? The first step in recover is to remove for all time, the foods that you shown addiction behavior toward: aka craving, no ability to stop consuming despite adverse reaction, etc.

Addiction may include hyper-palatable foods that are super good tasting, and you like and are unwilling to give up. Addict in denial. It is your choice.

So then there is eating over emotions, a habit residing in the subconscious, that we learned in early life. Learn the skills necessary to deal with the emotions, feelings, insane world situations. Deal with not suppress, because suppression leads to becoming a psychopath / sociopath. There are enough of these wandering around now. I ended up reading and studying much and now consider myself a practicing Stoic. You have the same right to learn or be ignorant, to be right or wrong, it is your life, I am not going to tell anyone how to live.

Life often gives us stuff that is difficult, and there are many methods of cooping, eating is one of those. If eating becomes maladaptive, now you have a eating disorder; if you are older it may be PTSD of a form. Learning to live in an insane, hostile world requires advanced defensive, social and emotional skills, all of which can be learned, give the right coach or mentor.

But what do I know. 
  

Something to chew on

http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/may/30/diets-fat-real-food-obesity -- Zoe Harcombe

U-turn in our diet advice from “Farinaceous and vegetable foods are fattening, and saccharine matters are especially so” to “base your meals on starchy foods”

1869 tanner / Banting

Who was Tanner?

At first I thought perhaps he the doctor associated with Banting ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Banting) but no. That was Harvey.

So I googled it and came up with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_S._Tanner_%28doctor%29 a faster
Googling the phrase brought up Gary Taubes, we all know

Farinaceous and vegetable foods are fattening, and saccharine matters are especially so….In sugar-growing countries the negroes and cattle employed on the plantations grow remarkably stout while the cane is being gathered and the sugar extracted. During this harvest the saccharine juices are freely consumed; but when the season is over, the superabundant adipose tissue is gradually lost.
–Thomas Hawkes Tanner, The Practice of Medicine, 1869

So we have it.

http://www.senedd.assemblywales.org/documents/s21537/CO 15 Consultation Response - Zo Harcombe.html

So it is clear, sugar and starches are to be avoided, but how can we overcome our physical attraction to food?      "Choose not to eat and hunger simply vanishes."   not likely. Choosing to not eat would work, if the desires did not increase.

But how do people fast for long periods? Is just that simple, choose to not eat?

I have seen myself need to fast for most of two days for a medical scope up the rear. That was near the time of my low weight, when Dr. Tim got concerned with my weight loss. I was at that point down 66 kgs. after the two days fast and scoping, I lost control... (the switch got flicked)... gained 10 kg overnight, well in a few days, more or less.

So is it as simple as some form of "thinking makes it so." Or it is all just (or vanity, op opinions) impressions (or memes). (Marcus Aurelius, Quadi - 15, Red bird addition- what ever it is called)

How is a simpleton like me to make sense of this, or did I just?

Yah Sure

Sharma  http://www.drsharma.ca/whats-europe-doing-about-obesity.html
Reach, 
Effectiveness, 
Adoption, 
Implementation and 
Maintenance 

Plan a diet, do it and the weight will just fall off....

But you missed the issue.... being so driven ... motivated ... driven ... at to be able to overcome the physical desire to eat... a natural instinct that has gone amuck, run riot... out of control. That is the problem that causes obesity. 

FED UP

We went to Fed Up. It is quite entertaining to see a shallow coverage of this major problem in an hour and a half. Everything that was said was great, but you, no one, can provide adequate coverage in 1.5 hours.

The only point that I did not agree with is HFCS is equal to sugar. It is not equal, it is worse, but not by much. HFCS raises blood glucose faster than sugar. As I recall, it was due to fructose and glucose being absorbed in the mouth and throat going directly into the blood rather then into the portal vein system. 

I have done more Maffetone-ing, and have come to the realization that my carbohydrate tolerance is down about where Jimmy Moore is... trace amounts... perhaps a few greens... definitely less than 80 grams of potatoes... that would be 20 grams of carbohydrate at one meal.  I guess I will plant potatoes anyway, if it ever warms up. I have the seed sitting out now. I think that all I will do id plant them, not hill and weed them.  It has been freezing every night, well most nights anyway. The forecast says turning nice tomorrow, Saturday.

Enough - it is all about keeping insulin low anyway.    

Cravings yes/no

http://www.fathead-movie.com/index.php/2014/05/12/paul-jaminet-answers-your-questions-part-two/
got me going, and perhaps this is off topic and not the point.

Cravings are slightly more complicated than indicated. There are many causes. A deficiency in some vitamin, mineral, or even odd carbohydrate can cause these little rotten problems. Inositol, omega 3, Vit C, proteins, magnesium, all seem to trigger cravings for me. 75 to 100 gms of raw fried potato in the morning gets rid of my inositol / carbohydrate shortage issue.

It is not just gut microbes, but also the number of specific cells in liver. If we have gone our life to this point with an excess of carbohydrates, can we expect our liver to produce all the trace carbohydrates required? And our need for omega 3 also varies. A person who lives on fish, vs a person living on pork have two different omega 3 requirements. All the mineral ions are dependent on the concentration of each other.

Cravings are one of the primary reason for overeating, which is one of the primary reasons for obesity / difficulty staying on any diet. The other big reason is society pushing junk food, hyper-palatable foods, ignorant people creating temptations for those of us who must resist foods to stay at healthy weight. Yes, some of us have naturally over driven appetites.

And here is a little Pom video for your enjoyment. 
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bml8KwCmob8 

Pom does not contain any real pomegranate juice by the way.

Food Addiction

There is no doubt that, for some of us, food addiction is real, but perhaps not for all. Do you get a buzz of honey? Not intended as a pun, it is the quick test. A teaspoons of honey in tea times two or three. Do you feel the buzz? If no, you are not an addict. Go away, you will never believe what I am about to say. If you feel the buzz, and like it, you are or will become a food addict. It is to that pleasant warm feeling that we become addicted to. We overeat, trying to stay in that buzz. That is the animal reaction, wanting more of the good stuff we like.

But how can honey be addicting. Well it is not, but fructose is. Warm hot drinks are quickly absorbed source of free fructose, warm is faster absorbed than cold. Fructose, absorbed in the mouth, gullet, esophagus, and upper stomach does not pass into the portal vein, but rather directly into the blood stream. Fructose blood concentrations go from nano-grams per liter to 100's nano-grams per liter, and the brain gets a buzz. Fructose crosses the blood brain membrane without an issue.

Now for the second punch, glucose drives up insulin, especially in the insulin resistant, (obese person) and insulin is a sedative, it makes us lay back a bit. This is also part of the glucose addiction side of the equation.

Now for the third punch, we were often given sugar as a distraction when we were small, resulting in a emotional or habitual component to addiction. Sugar and food, eating, consuming, snacking... became a maladaptive behavior, pushed by adults, and addicting us when we were small. Now sugar is everywhere.

Now how do we get out of the addiction - craving cycle? No fructose, very little glucose, and deal with all those emotions through Stoicism, CBT, or other method.

The hard part is avoiding fructose, and glucose with drug dealers everywhere using, pushing, and in denial of the problem.

We have the power of choice. Use it wisely.      

Quiting Carbohydrate

It will take some more effort beyond sugar, grains, manufactured products. I want roots. Tubers. bulbs. Is this nature or habit?

MY word on resistant and safe starches

http://www.fathead-movie.com/index.php/2014/05/06/safe-starches-and-human-variability/

I just do not care anymore. My body is changing, aging. Time to do the Maffetone test one more time. http://philmaffetone.com/2-week-test

This time I will look specifically at the desire to eat vs amount of carbs. Rigorous honesty, actually ate.

day 1, 104.5, May 7, 8.30am breakfast 3 bacon, 2 eggs, a bit of celery and a shake of RS in the eggs. drop of ketchup. < (fat left behind) 700C/4.5 =155C/hr not good

1.00 lunch 4.5 hrs 3 Bacon, onion, parsnip, cabbage, 700 C  /6 hr = 120C/hr

7.00 2 burgers and asparagus,  dab of ketchup, and dressing 600 C , total 2000 C

Day 2, 104.2, May 8,
7:30 4thin bacon, 2.5 eggs, 2mushrooms, celery, parsnip, and a dab of ketchup ~700 C/6.5 = ~108
2:00  2.5 Sausages, cabbage, dressing, ketchup, bit of burger, 700

and the wheels fell off.

- veins in hands standing out. Is that a sigh of dehydration or reduced/deleted glycogen supply? Not likely, but occasional. More often a function of local blood pressure. Raise one hand, lower the other and compare. 

Note that food logs can only underestimate consumption. You can remember eating something that was not there, but you can eat and forget.

Bovine Growth Factor

To increase production of milk, just a wee shot of bovine growth factor. Government says do not use, but it is available, in the refrigerator at the local farm supply store. So what do you suppose it is there for, other than for sale and use.

Is that why cheese and butter from the store tastes like more?  

Not Me I Think

http://www.drsharma.ca/we-dont-know-much-about-obesity.html

It's not me that he quotes. I do not even agree with the statement; I would say "the only way to lose weight is to eat less and exercise more. The trick is getting myself to do that." No sugar, grains, omega 6 oils, dairy, is a start. No hyperpalatable foods also helps. A boring diet with adequate fat, protein, and lots of greens is part of the solution. Keeping busy at stuff we enjoy but are not food friendly is another big part.

We may enjoy TV and video games but these are food friendly. Lots of none food friendly places make also help. Simply recognizing that not eating (meal skipping) is healthy also, if we are obese. This may also goes against our culture, and the advise of the fat nutritionist.

Never take weight loss diet advise from a fat person, unless they are losing weight.  

Getting around the starving portion is possible during the rapid at loss phase by eating no sugar, grains or dairy; nothing that will cause insulin generation, allowing fat to come out of the fat cells easily. The remainder of the body does know where the fat is coming from, therefore no starvation. To feed the gut we will need to eat fat 3 or 4 times a day. 

But then there are the other 150 different “reasons to eat”, feeling deprived is one. Opening up to feel a bit of gratitude for life and the other wonders, even for the available real foods today may reduce the feeling of deprivation. To each negative thought, there is a work around to relieve that thought.

Most people, the wild humans, still need to want to do the work. Most of society lives in happy blissful pre-contemplation of any change of lifestyle.
