Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Lupus / November 2007Food Pyramid for Weight Loss
One effective way to track your weight - whether you want to gain or lose weight - is through the Food Pyramid. The Food Pyramid is a classic food and dieting guide, taught to us as early as when we were kids. Sadly, the Food Pyramid has been set aside in lieu of other (unhealthy) diet options. Nowadays, people are coming back and looking at the Food Pyramid for weight loss answers. Food Pyramid basics The Food Pyramid was created by the US FDA to serve as an eating guide for everyone. Simply put, the Food Pyramid indicates how much amount of food from each category (fruits, dairy, protein, etc.) you have to eat each day in order to have a healthy lifestyle. Today, however, the US FDA has released an updated version of the Food Pyramid, known as MyPyramid. MyPyramid breaks down the food intake accordingly: ? 5+ servings a day of vegetables, especially dark green vegetables and orange vegetables. ? 5+ servings of fruit a day are required, especially fresh and frozen fruits. ? 2-3 servings of meat, poultry, fish, beans, eggs, or nuts a day, especially dry bean and peas, eggs, and nut and seeds.... http://groups.google.com/group/weightlosslnfs On Nov 13, 3:15 am, "xvaqvxjwv...@yahoo.com" <xvaqvxjwv...@yahoo.com> wrote: The Food Pyramid is a classic food and dieting guide << It is the **hunger** .. that bothers .. people. Don't you KNOW .. that .. ? You must address the hunger and then you will address any chance of the overeating. This is accomplished by inclusion of vegetable lecithin in the diet. Vegetable lecithin is plant oil It contains phosphates which satiate a person. Three tablespoons in your diet per day. It goes good in a soup or a chili or anything that a vegetable based oil would blend. It take the **hunger** away and is a POTENT source of **energy** / actually burns white fat and builds brown fat .. which in itself is EXACTLY what a bodybuilder will tell you NEEDS to be done .. or a doctor will tell you. The body builder probably knows more about that than the doctor .. But check it out .. but make sure it is **vegetable** lecithin .. not .. fish lecithin, BIG difference. This may be why lecithin is called the .. satiator .. it increases leptin.

Goldstein, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, TX, October 29, 2003 (received for review March 5, 2003) Leptin is an adipose-derived hormone that regulates a wide variety of physiological processes, including feeding behavior, metabolic rate, sympathetic nerve activity, reproduction, and immune response. Circulating leptin levels are tightly regulated according to energy homeostasis in vivo. Although mechanisms for the regulation of leptin production in adipocytes are not well understood, G protein-coupled receptors may play an important role in this adipocyte function. Here we report that C2-C6 short-chain fatty acids, ligands of an orphan G protein-coupled receptor GPR41, stimulate leptin expression in both a mouse adipocyte cell line and mouse adipose tissue in primary culture. Acute oral administration of propionate increases circulating leptin levels in mice. The concentrations of short-chain fatty acids required to stimulate leptin production are within physiological ranges, suggesting the relevance of this pathway in vivo. http://www.pnas.org/cgi/content/full/101/4/1045 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Who loves ya.
