The ProblemThe Problem
Obesity has a strong correlated to high mortality diseases
Estimated 325,000 deaths annually
Direct health care cost of $78 billion dollars annually
Over 9% of total health care cost

Myth 1:Myth 1:The hCG DietThe hCG Diet
hCG is the pregnancy hormone
British endocrinologist Albert T. W. Simeons'
Theory: hCG increases weight loss, spares protein and reduces hunger
![Page 7: Nutrition Myths and the Truth about Carbohydrates](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022082215/56814a0b550346895db73792/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
hCG DiethCG Diet
Problem 1: lack of evidence
1 study in the 70's showed results
Protocol for most studies is a 500 kcal/day with hCG injections
Every study since has shown no results
No significant research since the late 90's
![Page 8: Nutrition Myths and the Truth about Carbohydrates](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022082215/56814a0b550346895db73792/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
hCG DiethCG Diet
Bottom line
hCG has no effect on weight loss or appetite suppression
hCG diet weight loss is due to starvation and placebo effects

![Page 13: Nutrition Myths and the Truth about Carbohydrates](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022082215/56814a0b550346895db73792/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Myth 3:Myth 3:You should not eat after you workout You should not eat after you workout
Theory: If you don't eat after working out your body will continue to burn extra body fat
![Page 14: Nutrition Myths and the Truth about Carbohydrates](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022082215/56814a0b550346895db73792/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Myth 3:Myth 3:You should not eat after you workout You should not eat after you workout
Problem 1: Muscle and metabolism loss
Exercise causes Glucose loss & muscle damage
Not eating after working out may impair muscle development
![Page 15: Nutrition Myths and the Truth about Carbohydrates](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022082215/56814a0b550346895db73792/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Myth 3:Myth 3:You should not eat after you workout You should not eat after you workout
Window of muscle opportunity
•3-6 hours post workout
•Carbohydrates 20-40 grams
•Protein 20 grams
Muscles increase metabolism
70% of your calorie output happens outside the gym.
![Page 16: Nutrition Myths and the Truth about Carbohydrates](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022082215/56814a0b550346895db73792/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Myth 3:Myth 3:You should not eat after you workout You should not eat after you workout

Myth 4:Myth 4:If you don't eat fat, you can't get fat.If you don't eat fat, you can't get fat.
Theory:•Carbohydrates are for energy•Protein is for muscle•Fat is for fatTherefore if you don't eat fat, you can't get
fat
![Page 18: Nutrition Myths and the Truth about Carbohydrates](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022082215/56814a0b550346895db73792/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Myth 4:Myth 4:If you don't eat fat, you can't get fat.If you don't eat fat, you can't get fat.
Problem 1: Fat is essential
Dietary fat is necessary for biological functions
Essential fatty acids can't be made within the body
Some fats have shown health and body fat benefits•Olive oil•Fish oil•Nuts and seeds
![Page 19: Nutrition Myths and the Truth about Carbohydrates](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022082215/56814a0b550346895db73792/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Myth 4:Myth 4:If you don't eat fat, you can't get fat.If you don't eat fat, you can't get fat.
Problem 2: the 80's
Fat gram = 9 calories
Carbohydrate and Protein grams = 4 calories
Low fat = low calories = weight loss
Walter Willett study
Dietary fat % decreased
Calorie intake and body weight increased
![Page 20: Nutrition Myths and the Truth about Carbohydrates](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022082215/56814a0b550346895db73792/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Myth 4:Myth 4:If you don't eat fat, you can't get fat.If you don't eat fat, you can't get fat.
Problem 3: built to be fat
Starvation has been a major problem throughout history
Body fat is a safety mechanism
![Page 21: Nutrition Myths and the Truth about Carbohydrates](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022082215/56814a0b550346895db73792/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Myth 4:Myth 4:If you don't eat fat, you can't get fat.If you don't eat fat, you can't get fat.
Bottom line
Fat is a necessary health nutrient with health benefits
Any Nutrient which contains calories can be converted onto body fat
Try to consume health fats such as olive oil, fish oil and nuts or seeds
![Page 22: Nutrition Myths and the Truth about Carbohydrates](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022082215/56814a0b550346895db73792/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Myth 5:Myth 5:More Protein = Larger MusclesMore Protein = Larger Muscles
Theory :
Muscle is made from protein, therefore
The more protein you eat the larger you muscles will grow
![Page 23: Nutrition Myths and the Truth about Carbohydrates](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022082215/56814a0b550346895db73792/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Myth 5:Myth 5:More Protein = Larger MuscleMore Protein = Larger Muscle
Lemon's study
Assessed nitrogen balance of new exercisers with low (0.8 g/kg) to moderate (1.6 - 1.8 g/kg) protein intakes
Exercisers with moderate protein intakes had a positive nitrogen balance
Exercisers with low protein intakes had a negative nitrogen balance
Study suggests increased protein intake is needed for muscle development
![Page 24: Nutrition Myths and the Truth about Carbohydrates](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022082215/56814a0b550346895db73792/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Myth 5:Myth 5:More Protein = Larger MusclesMore Protein = Larger Muscles
Many more studies
Assessed protein balance of exercisers with :
Low (0.66 g/kg - 0.8g / kg)Moderate (1.4 - 2.4 g/kg) High protein (2.8 - 3.6 kg/kg)
Similar findings as lemon, but....
Higher protein diets showed no greater benefits
![Page 25: Nutrition Myths and the Truth about Carbohydrates](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022082215/56814a0b550346895db73792/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Myth 5:Myth 5:More Protein = Larger MusclesMore Protein = Larger Muscles
If muscle is made from protein, then why doesn't the body create more muscle with extra protein intake?
The body tries to be energy conservative
Muscle is energy expensive
Many protein sources are high in saturated fats
![Page 26: Nutrition Myths and the Truth about Carbohydrates](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022082215/56814a0b550346895db73792/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Myth 5:Myth 5:More Protein = Larger MusclesMore Protein = Larger Muscles
Bottom Line
Calories and protein are required for muscle repair and growth
Moderate intakes of protein helps muscle development in short term trials
Excessive protein intake is unnecessary for stimulating muscle developement

When insulin is high, fat building is high
When glucagon is high, fat "burning" is high
Carbohydrates increase blood glucose levels
