Carb Rotation Q & A


Q. Will the Carb Rotation really help remove stubborn fat? I mean seriously, can it really help me lose up to 15 pounds in just 30 days, or is this just a bunch of hype?

A. Yes, it will. In fact, I've heard from many personal fitness trainers all over the world - thanks to the Internet - his program has helped their clients lose the stubborn body fat that just wouldn't seem to come off.

The secret is in the
Carb Rotation cycle that he has perfected. In other words, eating the right amount of carbs on the right days creates an incredible fat blasting response by your body.

Q. Are those testimonials on his site real?

A. Absolutely. It's 100% against the law to make testimonials up out of thin air. He wouldn't think of doing it. And when you realize he has a wife and baby girl to support I think that will put your mind at ease even more. He's not going to do anything to get into trouble when I have so much going for him ;-)

Again, they are real. Men and women just like you are seeing extraordinary results and loving every minute of it because his program is so easy-to-follow.

Q. Do I really need to follow the exercise program that comes with his (your afffiliate link here) plan?

A. Well, if you want to see optimal results, yes. If you're serious about zapping unwanted fat from your hips, butt, thighs or belly you sure do. When you add the fitness component to his Carb Rotation principals you truly can shed up to 15 pounds of fat in just 30 days!

But here's the thing:

The exercise program isn't a slow, boring cardio routine you're probably used to. It's high-energy resistance training that gets you in and out FAST. Plus, they really sculpt and shape your body to give you that lean, sexy look most people are after.

Q. What makes his program different from all the other diets out there?

A. As I mentioned earlier, Jayson has perfected a method for tweaking your carbohydrate intake which stimulates your body to melt fat almost instantly.

And even more important is the fact you will FEEL full and satisfied. You will NOT be hungry all the time. And you'll have BOUNDLESS energy!

Lastly, his Carb Rotation plan teaches you how to KEEP the weight off. And isn't what you really want PERMANENT results?

Remember, Jayson is a Registered Dietitian. Not some muscle-bound personal trainer with a weekend certification. He went to a real school and got a real degree so he could teach people how to make lifestyle changes which would result in a lifetime of weight loss and health.

Q. Is the money back guarantee for real?

A. Sure is. But I promise you, if you follow his program and put your heart and soul into getting results you wouldn't think of asking for a refund. You are going to be astonished by the results you see.

Q. What if I purchase his program and after reading it still have more questions?

Look at it this way: Your success is his success. He wants nothing more than to know his program has worked for you just like it has for countless others who have struggled to lose weight permanently. He let me know if you have questions you can email them to him at any time.

Q. I'm really excited to get started, but I'm not sure how. What's the first thing I need to do?

A. Jayson has laid out every step you need to take in the Carb Rotation plan

Seriously, the entire blueprint is laid out for you in his program. Simply follow it to the letter and watch the fat melt off your body!

Q. Am I going to be miserable and feeling hungry all the time?

A. NO, you will not. In fact, just the opposite is true. You're going to always feel full AND you're going to be stunned by how great you feel and how much energy you have.

Q. Why should I trust him?

Q. As I wrote earlier, I've discovered he's real guy with a real family. This program is how he supports them. I know all too well there are a lot of scam artists on the Internet. It's a shame because it makes it harder for guys like Jayson who truly want to see you succeed.

He's a Registered Dietitian and fitness expert with over ten years of experience. He's helped hundreds and hundreds of men and women just like you remove stubborn fat from their body.

I'd love to see you added to the list of his success stories.

The Goldbert-O'Mara Diet

The GO-diet
by Tanya Zilberter, PhD

"The Goldbert-O'Mara Diet" by Jack Goldberg and Karen O'Mara is not just one of the books, it has the advantage of a research investigation conducted not after but before the book has been published.

The authors of the book participated in a 12 weeks study conducted by a major Chicago hospital. These are some of the results they received. The study results have been accepted for publication in a peer reviewed journal and abstract on the diabetic study was submitted for presentation the coming summer.

The average weight loss was 20 pounds or 10% of participants' initial body weight . There was also an average of 5 inches lost in the waist. There was also a 50% decrease in triglycerides and the LDL cholesterol. The HDL did not change.

The Go-Diet is a very moderate low-carb diet with practically no restriction of calories (usually the calorie intake was up to 2,500.) Dieters can have 75 grams of carbohydrate a day and no more than 12 grams of carbs at any single meal. They're supposed to eat a lot of yogurt, kefir, or buttermilk. They were instructed not to be worried about the carb content in the label.

One of important points is fiber content: no less than 25 grams of fiber every day, mostly it comes with plenty of raw vegetables: 5 servings of leafy and cruciferous veggies.

The diet is high in calcium, magnesium and all other minerals. It contains vitamins A, B, C, D, E and K and requires practically no supplements.

The research results are consistent with another low-carb diets studies like these:

"Compared with the low carbohydrate diet, the high carbohydrate diet caused a 27.5% increase in plasma triglycerides and a similar increase in LDL-cholesterol levels; it also reduced levels of HDL cholesterol by 11%." (Diabetes. 41(10):1278-85, 1992)

In the article "Treatment of obesity with low carbohydrate diets," the authors concluded: "Concentrations of plasma triglycerides and cholesterol turned to normal during therapy. There were no side effects on the gastro-intestinal tract." (Medizinische Klinik. 70(15):653-7,1975)

"Serum triglycerides decreased more after the high fat diet (52 mg/dl) than after high protein diet (67 mg/dl)." (Journal of the American College of Nutrition. 4(4):451-9, 1985)

What's your best free diet plan advice?

We recently interviewed registered dietitian Jayson Hunter,
author of the CarbRotationDiet about free diet plans. We asked him
three questions and here were his answers. Enjoy

AtkinsZone: What's your best free diet plan advice?

Jayson: Well, the best free plan, or free diet plan advice I
could probably give someone is to eat more frequently because most
people restrict calories when they want to try to either lose
weight or lean up or tone up and things like that and the absolute
worst thing you can possibly do when looking to achieve your weight
loss goals or your body image goals. So, really the best free diet
plan advice I could give someone if I had to give you one thing is,
eat more frequently and don't restrict your calories.

AtkinsZone: What's free diet plan tip number 2?

Jayson: As you're eating more frequently you need to make sure
that you eat properly and the right nutrients at the right time.
So, trying to incorporate some type of lean protein into your meals
every meal is going to help with achieving that weight loss,
achieving that body you want and more importantly, increasing your
metabolism which is going to burn more calories.

AtkinsZone: That's great free diet plan tip, Jayson. Give us one more.

Jayson: Well, the final, probably, free diet plan tip would have
to be consume most of your carbohydrates as fruits and vegetables,
because those types of carbohydrates are more utilized by the body,
they contain more vitamins and minerals, fiber, they're just much
healthier for you. They don't contain the useless sugar that many
of the processed foods that we currently eat do and as a result you
control your insulin levels, you control your blood sugar levels,
which then helps prevent you from adding extra fat. Instead it
allows your body to burn more of your calories for energy rather
than story it as fat.

AtkinsZone: That's great stuff Jayson, thanks so much.

Mood Effects of Carbohydrates and Low-carb Diets

by Tanya Zilberter, PhD

Among those shared with me their weight loss results while on Atkins diet , 347 dieters reported effects beyond weight loss (or its absence):

  • Hunger disappearance or appetite decrease - 178
  • Diabetes improvement - 169
  • Mood improvement, energy level increase - 158
  • Absence of cravings - 149
  • Physicians approval for the diet - 129
  • Joint and muscle improvement - 125
  • Headache disappearance - 121
  • Exercise improvement - 115
  • Muscle gain decrease - 112
  • Fungal/yeast infection disappearance - 111
  • Heartburn, bloating disappearance - 110
  • Thyroid condition improvement - 119

    Reported negative results:

  • Cravings for high-carb foods increase - 16
  • Inability to exercise - 15
  • Low-carb foods dissatisfaction - 14

Mood/energy

This particular effect is perhaps the most controversial because it is against the observations, including those conducted in controlled clinical settings, that carbohydrate-rich meals improve mood and energy levels. Apparently, the positive influence reported by the dieters, were due to Atkins diet long-term effects, because during first several days on the diet there were effects consistent with clinical observations on short-term effects of direct intra-gastric infusions of nutrients:

    "Hedonic tone was greater and tension lower after the saline and sucrose infusions than after the lipid infusion. From 3 to 3.5 h after ingestion, subjects felt significantly more sleepy after the lipid infusion than they did at these times after the saline infusion, and significantly more dreamy after the lipid infusion than they did after the sucrose infusion. (Physiology & Behavior. 63(4):621-8, 1998)

Another article reporting the influence of nutrients on mood, stress that there were acute and not long term effects:

    "Mood improved (a decline in fatigue/dysphoria) following the low-fat/high carb breakfast compared to medium-fat/ medium-carbohydrate or high-fat/low-carbohydrate meals." ("Acute effects on mood and cognitive performance of breakfasts differing in fat and carbohydrate content. "Appetite. 27(2):151-64, 1996)

The short-term positive effects of high-carb meals can be used, for example, for alleviating the PMS syndrome:

    "The experimental carbohydrate intervention significantly decreased self-reported depression, anger, confusion, and carbohydrate craving 90-180 minutes after intake. Memory word recognition was also improved significantly." (Obstetrics & Gynecology. 86(4 Pt 1):520-8, 1995)

It is interesting that not all of the clinical studies came to the above conclusion. Study conducted by University of Sheffield, demonstrated that meals, particularly when rich in fat, significantly reduced pain perception in healthy human subjects.( Physiology & Behavior. 65(4-5):643-8, 1999)

Carbohydrate craving obese patients do not improve their mood states through ingestion of a carbohydrate-rich snack. (International Journal of Obesity & Related Metabolic Disorders. 21(10):860-4, 1997)

There were no differences in mood between the groups receiving high-carb drink or water during performance of the military tasks. (Aviation Space & Environmental Medicine. 68(5):384-91, 1997)

The ingestion of sucrose failed to have any substantial effect on mood (Physiology & Behavior. 58(3):421-7, 1995)

    "The carbohydrate-supplemented group had a greater total energy intake and carbohydrate intake. No significant differences between carbohydrate were observed in remaining psychological, physiological, or performance-related variables." (International Journal of Sport Nutrition. 5(2):125-35, 1995)

These are rather typical messages:

  • I feel great and my energy level has increased. I don't feel sluggish anymore.
  • No more mood swings, brain fog, confusion, or depression.
  • I feel healthier, more energy (can keep up with the kids, yeah!) and smarter.
  • I have a much higher energy level as well as a much more pleasant disposition.
  • I have lots of energy and a lot more self esteem.
  • I am sleeping like a teenager, and I had sleep apnea before starting the diet.
  • I sleep better and I have more energy than my 16 year old daughter
  • I'm so infused with energy that I climb the stairs at work without huffing and puffing.
  • My energy had increased! Muscle tone had improved even though I wasn't going to the gym.
  • When I am eating according to program I feel so much better, sleep better and have more energy
  • After the first 3 days the increase in energy was unbelievable, the mental fog and Monday morning blues were gone.
  • I have more energy, not so tired anymore, and feel like I'm in control of my appetite.
  • I have had a sense of inner peace that I simply can't explain.
  • My mood swings have lifted and I'm a much happier person overall.
  • I felt better, had more energy, no more brain-fog and I did not feel tired and worn out at the end of the day.

Low carbohydrate foods: Glycerol?

If you've spent longer than a few months on a low-carbohydrate diet, you'll know how difficult it is to find low carbohydrate foods that can be eaten on the run. The problem with most portable meals and snacks (such as sandwiches) is they're often high in refined carbohydrate. Either that, or they're full of trans fatty acids and artificial sweeteners — ingredients which do little to take you closer to your goal of a healthier body.

If you don't have the time to spend cooking and preparing low carbohydrate foods and meals, it's easy to deviate from whatever diet you're following. People who cheat a little today usually cheat a little more tomorrow. Then, it’s only a matter of time before every "rule" has been broken, and you’re feeling depressed and discouraged, right back at square one.

Most people want a snack they can just throw into a briefcase or backpack in the morning and eat it on the run. That's one of the reasons protein bars and meal replacement supplements have become so popular.

However, the debate about glycerol — one of the ingredients commonly included in protein bars — has left many people confused about whether protein bars can be considered as low carbohydrate foods.

Glycerol (also known as "glycerin" or "glycerine") is a sweet-tasting, syrupy liquid. It's used to sweeten as well as add a chewy texture to some protein bars.

In June 2001 the US Food and Drug Administration wrote to the supplement company EAS (among others) to advise them that one of their products was misbranded because the label failed to count glycerol as a carbohydrate.

Glycerol is classed as a carbohydrate mainly by default. It isn't a protein, because there's no nitrogen in it. Nor does it contain any fatty acids, so it can't be called fat. That's why you'll now see glycerol included in the carbohydrate count shown on the nutrition label of many protein bars. It might appear as if your favorite protein bar is higher in carbohydrate than it was before. The only thing that's really changed is the label.

There's no real reason to be concerned about the glycerol in meal replacement bars. Compared to other nutrients, glycerol does not elevate insulin or blood sugar levels. It does, however...

Sauteed Flank Steak with Arugula and Roasted Cauliflower and Red Peppers

Tastebook. Get cooking. Create a personal cookbook
Are you resolving to eat more healthily but finding that cold cereal and salads just aren't cutting it this time of year? Epicurious is here to help you in your quest for breakfast, lunch, and dinner recipes that may be light in calories, fat, and carbs but are still high in flavor. And, best of all, these warming and hearty recipes are perfect for this blustery season.

Craving Beef?

You don't have to give up red meat to eat healthily—some cuts of beef have less total fat and saturated fat than a chicken thigh. To choose the leanest cuts, the American Dietetic Association suggests buying meat with the words "loin" or "round" in the name, such as sirloin, tenderloin, top round steak, and eye of round. Make your chosen cut even healthier by trimming any visible fat. In addition, grass-fed beef tends to be lower in saturated fat and cholesterol than conventionally raised varieties, as does bison, which has a good beefy flavor. Just make sure to cook these leaner meats slowly at a lower temperature, as they have a tendency to be a bit drier than high-fat beef.

Virtuous Veggies

Simply prepared vegetables would be an excellent accompaniment to any of these dishes—yes, even breakfast. But don't stymie their healthful potential by piling on butter, margarine, cream, or salt. A light spritzing of olive oil and fresh herbs enhance rather than mask vegetables' naturally delicious flavors. Go easy on oil when sautéing, and consider even lighter preparations such as steaming and poaching.
