STANDARDS: What we stand for

“If you don’t stand for something, You’ll fall for

anything!!”

Low standards are set by institutions (safety net)Higher standards have to be set by individuals (optimum)

Life sets the Standards for Health!!!!

2

Life = Wholeness/Health

Form-lessIndestructibleAlways whole/healthyCannot get sick Cannot break downCannot die GOOD NEWS! (body wrecked, mind disorganized, environment a mess)

3

Body = Construction Site

Always a work in Progress Always under Major Construction & Recon-

struction98% of Atoms = Removed & Replaced every Year

Down Side: Effort to Build, Maintain, & Repair BodyUp Side: Healing = possible

4

Inspiration = Energy

Makes Life Feel Worth LivingMakes Effort/Work/Care Worth Doing

- Grandchildren- Mountain Climbing- Sweden: Strongest Man Contest- Inspiration & Depression

5

Life’s StandardsStandards: Fresh; Whole; Raw; Organic

Requirement: Optimum Essential Nutrients; Minimum Poisons; Optimum Digestion

Rules (SOP): DNA Plan; RNA Copies; Protein Assembly; Structures & Functions

Function: Build, Maintain, & Repair Bodies

Good Research: Discover Life’s Standards

6

Manufacturing StandardsOur GOAL: Support ongoing Construction, Maintenance, &

Repair of the Body for a LifetimeHOW? Manufacturing & Food Preparation Standards

that emulate Life’s Standards for Body Construction, Maintenance, and Repair

- Life creates DNA, sets Standards & Limitations- DNA design adapts us to live in line with Nature- Standards: Especially Important for Fragile Fats

- Extensive Processing Damage; Unreported

7

Goal: Oils made with Human Health in Mind25 years of Study & Work with EFAs

STANDARDS for HEALTHY OILS:1. Processing: Long Shelf Life or Good Health?2. Essential: Nutrients, Fatty Acids, N-3, Deficiency &

Benefits3. N-3/N-6 Ratio: Flax Oil or Oil Blend?4. Packaging: Plastic or Glass?5. Short & Long: Convert or Get Clean DHA?6. Combining: Short and Long EFAs together

8

Goal cont

• TOTAL OIL PROGRAM: Short (ALA) Oils plus Long (EPA/DHA) Oils

• FOOD USE OF OILS: Udo’s Choice DHA-Enhanced 3,6,9 Oil Blend

• OILS TO AVOID: ‘Cooking’ Oils, (Fish Oils), Fried Oils, Hydrogenated Oils

• WEIGHT MANAGEMENT: Fuel Shift; Food Shift; Exercise

• Q & A

9

• Have cancer to look forward to• Doctors and Medicines cannot help• Have background in Biological Sciences• Have done Grad Studies in Biochemistry• Have done Grad Studies in Genetics• See self-help as my only Option• Become super-interested in Health• Start extensively searching the Research Literature on Health• Focus on Fats because Fats are confusing, contradictory, &

poorly understood, and• Pesticides and Fats both have a relationship to Cancer

Beginning, 1980: Poisoned by Pesticides

10

• Colorless, odorless, tasteless (white) cooking oils (short form EFAs) are damaged by processes used to extend shelf life

• Include treatment with harsh chemicals and excessive heat: – NaOH, H3PO4: Remove alkali- and acid-soluble ingredients – Bleaching clays: Remove color (add bad odor & bad taste)– ‘Deodorize’ (245°C; 450+°F): Remove bad odor & taste

Problem: Healthful ingredients (phytosterols, lecithin, antioxidants, others) removed; Oil is now unbalanced

Concern 1: Processing Damage

11

Concern 1: Processing Damage cont

1 tablespoon of shelf-stable cooking oil that is 1% damaged by processing contains: 60,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 = 6 X 1019 = 1 million unnat-ural molecules for each of body’s 60 trillion cells

(Fish oils may contain 3-5% molecules damaged by processing; 0.5-1% in omega-6 ‘cooking’ oils; omega-3 in fish = 25 times more fragile)

• Omega-6 oils increase cancer, inflammation, CVD• ‘White’ oils cause as much or more damage than white sugar & white

flour

Standard 1: Make short EFA-rich oils with HEALTH rather than shelf life in mind!!!

12


Doing the Numbers (Seed Oil)Avogadro’s #: Molecular Weight (MW) in Grams =

6.023x1023 MoleculesMW of Seed Oil TG = about 892; 892g = 64 Tbsp

1 Tablespoon (15ml) contains 14 grams of oil1 Tbsp seed oil 1% damaged has 1.56 million damaged molecules for every one of body’s 60 trillion cells

13


Doing the Numbers (Fish Oil)Avogadro’s #: Molecular Weight (MW) in Grams =

6.023x1023 Molecules

MW of Fish Oil TG = about 1018; 1018g = 80 Tbsp

1 Tablespoon (15ml) contains 14 grams of oil

1 Tbsp fish oil 3% damaged has 3.75 million damaged molecules for every one of body’s 60 trillion cells (5% = 6.25 million)

14

• Organically grown seeds, nuts (low pesticides)

• Fresh, whole, raw intact seeds (no damaged, moldy, waste seeds)

• No chemical treatments that remove or damage important molecules• Protect oil during pressing, filtering, filling, & storage from:

Light Oxygen (air)Heat

• Package oil in dark containers (amber glass within a box)

Result: Possible to make short nutritional oils (basic background fats, foundational oils) free of processing damage & free of industrial toxins

1983: A Standard for Healthy Oil Processing

15

Essential Nutrients (ENs):– Body cannot make ENs– Body must have ENs for health & life– Body must obtain ENs from food or supplement– Too little results in EN Deficiency; – EN Deficiency symptoms are degenerative in nature (look like

degenerative diseases) – EN Deficiency symptoms get worse with time– Too little EN for too long results in death– Return to diet of adequate amounts of EN reverses all

Deficiency symptoms

Concern 2: Essential Nutrient Deficiency

16

Essential Nutrients include: 20 Minerals; 14 Vitamins; 8 Essential Amino Acid; 2 Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs)

– Note: There are no ‘essential’ carbohydrates!!

EFAs are Omega-6 (N-6) and Omega-3 (N-3)• N-6: LA (seeds, nuts); Short N-6 EFA;

GLA (evening primrose); Short N-6 EFA derivativeAA (meat, eggs, dairy); Long N-6 EFA derivative

• N-3: ALA (greens, seeds, nuts); Short N-3 EFAEPA, DHA (fish, krill, algae); Long N-3 EFA derivatives

Concern 2: Essential Nutrient Deficiency cont

17

• ‘Damaged oil’ (short N-6) industry begins 1900; Grows rapidly • N-6 known to be essential by 1930; ‘Damaged N-6’ intake doubles in 100

years; Cancer grows (1/30 to 1/4)– Damaged (N-6-rich; N-3-poor, ‘white’) cooking oils increase cancer,

inflammation, degenerative disease; recommend against using damaged N-6 oils

– Most ‘frying’ oils are damaged (hence toxic) N-6 rich oils; are damaged further by frying

– 100 years ago, most foods were cooked in water (steam, poach, boil, pressure cook)

– 100 years ago, butter and lard (hard fats) were used for frying; hard fats are damaged far less by heat than N-6 rich oils

N-6 EFA

18

All Seeds, Nuts, & Oils Contain short N-6 EFAs:

Safflower, corn, sunflower, grape seed, sesame, almond, peanut, olive all contain only N-6 and no N-3 EFAs

Evening primrose contains only N-6 and no N-3 EFAs

(Soy, walnut, hemp contain lots of N-6, a little N-3)

(Mustard, canola contain a little N-6, a little N-3)

N-6 EFA cont

19

• N-3 established to be ‘essential’ 1981 • N-3 intake is 16% of 1850 levels• 1850 intake already inadequate

• 99.9% of population gets less than optimum N-3• N-3 deficiency = most widespread essential nutrient deficiency of our time; • Negative (degenerative) consequences result from getting less than

optimum

• N-3 come as short (ALA) and long (EPA/DHA)• N-3 is 5 to 25 times more sensitive to damage (light, air, heat) than N-6• N-3 need special care to prevent damage by careless processing• N-3 is a manufacturer’s nightmare, especially long N-3s

N-3 EFA

20

There are few good N-3 sources: – Greens (0.1% ALA; 60kg/day = my optimum of ALA); short– Flax Oil (57% ALA; too little N-6); short

(((Fatty Fish (salmon herring sardines trout tuna mackerel) contain up to 30% EPA + DHA, along w pesticides, dioxins, PCBs, furans)));

(((Fish Oils processed similar to cooking oils; EPA & DHA is 25 times more sensitive to damage than N-6; partly damaged; also, toxic residues remain)))

Recent Long Addition:– Algae Oil available free of pesticides, dioxins, PCBs, furans; long

Standard 2: Return N-3 to the food supply which lacks them!!!

N-3 EFA cont

21

• Develop Flax Oil (short) by my method for making oils with health in mind

• Flax = richest source of N-3: 57% N-3; 14% N-6; (19% N-9: non-essential); Almost 2X more N-3 than fish oils (30% N-3), in its most basic, stable short form;

• Organic seed, grown without pesticides;

• No harsh chemicals or high heat; Protect oil from light, oxygen, & heat during manufacture;

• Package in dark bottles for protection from light

• **No fish oils; Concerns: Processing damage, Industrial toxins, stocks**

Result: Fresh, clean, rich source of short N-3 is now available

1986: A Standard for N-3 Intake

22

Recommend: Body needs and oil change, just like the car; Dirty damaged cooking oil out; Clean oil in

Amount per day = same as usual: 2, 3, 4 Tablespoons/day

One tablespoon per 50 pounds (25Kg) of body weight per day

Spread intake out over the day; Mix in foods

Prevent: nausea from exceeding liver’s capacity

Not recommended off spoon (memory of yucky cod liver oil experience)

Recommendation re: Use

23

• Soft, smooth, velvety Skin (later, skin deteriorates again)

• Increased Energy & Stamina

• Better Mood

• Calmer

• Smarter: Process thoughts better

• Less cravings for carbs; Easier weight management

Early Results

24

Downside of Flax Oil: Contains so little N-6 that its use can lead to N-6 deficiency

I develop classic N-6 deficiency symptoms from exclusive use of flax oil as source of fat in the diet

Symptoms: Dry eyes; Skipped heart beats; Arthritis-like pain in finger joints; Thin papery skin

Symptoms reported by others: Eczema- and psoriasis-like skin problems; Increased incidence of infections

Symptoms suggested by research: Increased incidence of prostate cancer; Possible increased risk of breast cancer

Standard 3: Optimize N-3/N-6 ratio; Prevent N-6 deficiency

Concern 3: N-3/N-6 Ratio

25

Publications• 1986: alive books publishes Fats and Oils, which outlines methods for

making oils with health in mind

• 1993: alive books publishes the expanded, revised, and updated version of Fats and Oils under the title Fats That Heal Fats That Kill

– Fats That Heal Fats That Kill details the molecules, their functions, commercial processing methods, deficiency symptoms, EFA functions, and therapeutic use of EFAs in degenerative conditions; web site: www.rightfatdiet.com

• 2002: alive books publishes an easy reading (summary) version called Choosing the Right Fats

Books now available from The Book Publishing Company, Summertown, Tennessee

26

N-3 EFA cont

Research carried out over the past 20 years shows that increasing N-3 intake improves the symptoms of most major degenerative diseases of our time

Significance: To the extent that diseases improve by increased intake of N-3, they must be caused by insufficient or sub-optimal N-3

***N-3 will not improve symptoms of Magnesium, Zinc, or Vitamin C deficiency, but N-3 do improve symptoms of N-3 deficiency!!

27

N-3 EFA Benefits cont

31

Develop oil blend formula; 9 ingredients; Optimize all aspects of EFA nutrition

Ingredients: Organic flax oil, Organic sunflower oil, Organic sesame oil; Organic evening primrose oil; Organic coconut oil; Organic Rice germ oil; Oat germ oil (no gluten); GMO-free soy lecithin (allergy-free); Vitamin E

Reasons:1. Adjust N-3/N-6 ratio to prevent N-6 deficiency2. Include N-6 made with health in mind (replace damaged, toxic N-6 from

cooking oils)3. Make healthy oil choice less complicated for consumers4. Optimize short form EFA nutrition

Result: Blend contains everything we need from short form EFA oils, nothing we should avoid

1993: A Standard for N-3/N-6 Ratio cont

32

1993: A Standard for N-3/N-6 Ratio

Oil Blend N-3/N-6 ratio = 2/1; Consistently get best results with this ratio

Flax oil N-3/N-6 ratio = about 4/1; Leads to n-6 deficiency

50% ALA (N-3); 25% LA (N-6); both undamaged—made with health in mind; 19% OA (N-9)

Blend: Is rich in phytosterols (48mg/Tbsp) with immune and heart health benefits

Contains GLA (from evening primrose oil)

Contains both natural and added antioxidants for freshness

Contains GMO-free lecithin: better emulsification, digestion, & absorption

33

Estrogen mimickers leach from plastic into environment & change reproductive structures & functions in animals; Alligators with bent penis 1/3rd the normal size; Cannot reproduce

Researchers surprised; I’m surprised; Study plastics extensively

More surprises about plastics: Oils swell plastics; Ingredients in plastics leach into oil even more rapidly than into water; Water in plastic bottles acquires taste of plastic packaging material

Other molecules/minerals found in black plastics: Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs); Furnace Black (from cars’ oil change); Irganox (30 minutes into plastic) & Irgafos (stabilizers); Aluminum & Lead; There’s more in plastic than plastic; Manufacturers are secretive

Standard 4: Glass is better packaging for liquids made with health in mind, especially oils, but also water, vinegar, alcohol, milk, & juices; Switch to amber glass bottle in 1993; Box around bottle cuts out all light

Concern 4: Packaging

34

Q: Can the body convert short ALA to long EPA & DHA?

A1: Fish oil industry: No. 20 years of market controversyThe body can’t convert.

The body of some people can’t convert.

The body of some people can’t convert enough.

The body of some people can’t convert enough, maybe.

Conversion from Short N-3 to Long N-3

35

Q: Can the body convert short ALA to long EPA & DHA?A2: Culture: Yes.

300 million Hindu vegetarians; 5,000 years; No fish, no fish oils, no meat, no eggs

One milk product (no DHA); Same function of DHA in brain, eyes, & sperm

Body converts short ALA from greens, lentils, chickpeas, and psyllium seeds into long EPA & DHA

May have been selected for survival by ability to convert?


36

Q: Can the body convert short ALA to long EPA & DHA? A3: Research: Yes.

Wijendran & Hayes, 2004ALA: 5-10% to EPA; = plentyALA: 2-5% to DHA; maybe low?

Studies done in body (vs brain) of people on ”normal”N. Am diets

N-3/N-6 ratio in studies = 1: 6+ (our ratio = 2: 1)


37

Q: Can the body convert short ALA to long EPA & DHA?

A4: Dr. Walter Willett, Head: Harvard School of Public Health

Question from audience: “What would happen if a person could not convert ALA to EPA and DHA?”

Answer from Dr. Willett: “They would be dead.”


38

Recommended intake of EPA+DHA: 500-1000mg/day

Actual average daily intake in North America : 130mg of n-3:EPA: 78mg DHA: 52mg

3 caps 18/12 fish oil (3g) of per day provide 900mg: EPA: 540mg; DHA: 360mg;

At 1Tbsp of oil blend/50 pounds of body weight/day, 2%-5% conversion:100lb person can make EPA: 560 to 1,400mg/d; DHA: 280 (224) to

700 (560) mg/d; 150lb person can make EPA: 840 to 2,100mg/d; DHA: 420 (336) to

1050 (840) mg/d;

*Oil Blend when short ALA = 50% (40%)

Conversion from Short N-3 to Long N-3 cont

39

Decreased by: – CLA; trans fats; low B6 Mg Zn B3 C; Carbs; Sat fats; Mono fats; N-6; DHA;

• Being male (females convert more effectively due to estrogen); (Slow Genes)

Increased by: – High N-3/N-6 (2:1); Phytosterols; GLA; Phytoestrogens (WFFB); Protein in diet;

• If DHA = low, it lasts 2X longer (need half as much); If lots of DHA, body turns it over faster

• *ALA to DHA in Brain = 2-6x faster than in other tissues

• **Optimize amount of starting material—ALA—in diet;Conclusion: Ample conversion to DHA if optimize ALA (short form N-3)

intake; Optimum conversion to DHA if optimize diet—live in line with Nature: Less poisons and interfering nutrients; More key nutrients


40

Research Highlights: High N-6 (Western) diets slow down N-3 conversionFor genetic reasons, some people convert slower than othersMen appear to convert less effectively than women Some studies show men convert ALA to DHAOne study in men shows 0% conversion of ALA to DHAPoor diets inhibit N-3 conversionBrain may convert ALA to DHA faster than body tissuesConversion controversy: mostly marketing, partly factBest results may require short N-3 to be used with long N-3Unrefined short and long N-3 are preferable


41

Reasons for Avoiding Fish Oils:

1. Industrial Toxins: PCBs, Dioxins, Furans, Pesticides, (Hg, Pb)– Damage liver, kidneys, brain; Cause mutations, cancer, birth defects

– Researchers say there are no ‘acceptable’ amounts of these toxins

– ‘Acceptable’ limits of industrial toxins too high for Health (90 ppb: US; 0.2 ppb: EU)

Toxic/Damaged Fish Oils?

42

Reasons for Avoiding Fish Oils:

2. Processing & Processing Damage (PD)– Have increased over past 20 years; (PCBs and Dioxins are lower)– Less rancidity, but more of other kinds of damaged molecules

– Studies pre-2003 show better results than studies post-2003– PD molecules in fish oils = 300,000+ times higher than industrial toxins– Molecules damaged by processing:

– Seed oils = 0.5% to 1% (5-10 million ppb) – Fish oils can be as high as 3% to 5% (30-50 million ppb)

– Manufacturers don’t talk about processing damage; Focus only on industrial toxin levels


43

Questions to Ask Fish Oil Suppliers:In the finished product, what is the percentage of1. PCBs, pesticides, and dioxins; Mercury; Lead? What are the limits of detection for each of

the listed toxins?

2. Cross linked molecules?

3. Cyclized molecules?

4. Fragmented molecules?

5. Double bond shifted molecules?

6. Trans fatty acids?

7. Polymerized molecules?

8. What is the highest temperature reached during deodorization/molecular distillation/wiped film evaporation? What is the duration of time involved in each of these steps? How many repetitions are done for each high temperature step (eg Wiped Film Evaporation)?

9. (Why do studies published pre-2003 show better results than studies published post-2003?)


44

Reasons for Avoiding Fish Oils:3. Depletion of Fish stocks from over-fishing is a serious problem

– East Coast, North America– Iceland– Europe– Asia– Africa

Standard 5: Find clean, non-fish DHA/EPAsource (20 years)


45

Two Main Isomers:C9,t11 and t10,c12:

– t is abbreviation for trans-– CLA contains about 70% trans- fatty acids– Interfere with conversion of both n-3 and n-6 EFAs– Different from trans- fatty acids in dairy products – To get 3 grams of trans- fats, must eat 1.25 lb of butter – Manufacturers trying to get CLA exempted from trans- fatty

acid category

These are Damaged N-6 Products!!

CLA: Trans- Fatty Acids

46

Toxic Unsaturated Pyrrolizidine Alkaloids:– Found in Plant, in Seed, and in Oil– Cumulative liver toxins; Interfere with Respiration; Cross-link

DNA and Protein – Same toxins that caused Comfrey to be banned– To remove, need NaOH, H3PO4, Bleach, & Deodorization– Up to 4ppb remain – Evening Primrose Oil: Found to be ‘remarkably non-toxic’

Processing-Damaged or may contain Toxins!!

Borage Oil

47

Cleanest source of DHA:

Red-brown algae: source of DHA/EPA for entire food chain

Grown in controlled environment

• Free of PCBs, dioxins, furans, pesticides, Hg, Pb

Unrefined: Same standard of quality as short N-3-rich seed oils

• No processing damage

A Clean Source of DHA?

48

Three Ways to get EPA in DHA Oil Blend:

1. Forward conversion from ALA to EPA takes place effectively in the body: 5-10%; See Slide 49. **

2. Backward conversion from DHA to EPA in the body: up to 10%

3. 2-5% EPA naturally present (along with 30-40% DHA) in algae oil

Grown in environment free of PCBs, dioxins, furans, pesticides, Hg, Pb

Unrefined: Same standard of quality as short N-3-rich seed oils; No processing damage

**Ensure adequate intake of ALA: 1Tbsp/25kg (50lb) of body weight/day

A Clean Source of EPA?

49

Isn’t 3,6,9-Oil Blend Enough?

1. DHA requirement is higher during pregnancy, lactation, infancy, andearly childhood brain development

2. Additional DHA can bring adequate conversion to optimum conversion3. Anyone on a poor diet will slow down body’s ability to convert (see

slide ); Additional DHA makes up for poor diets; Who is on a poor diet? Almost everyone; Overweight; People who do not eat fresh, whole,raw, organic

4. No PCBs, dioxins, pesticides; no processing damage; 5. Highest standard of DHA available6. EPA is made by forward conversion from ALA, backward conversion

from DHA, and some EPA is also in the algae oil

Why Add A Clean Source of DHA?

50

A 2-Step Total Short + Long Oil Program

1. Major nutrient short N-3 oil base (background fats): Protectively proc-essed (undamaged), high energy N-3/N-6 ratio (2/1), organic (pesticide-free), blended seed oil: – 1Tbsp/50 pounds of body weight per day = optimum; 1tsp/day =

minimum– Mix in foods (enhance flavors; improve absorption of oil-soluble

nutrients in foods)– Spread out over course of day, if necessary (to prevent heavy or

nauseous feeling)

2. Add clean, uncontaminated therapeutic N-3 long (DHA/EPA) oil for further health benefits (slow genes, poor food habits, ad confusion)

Standard 6: Short & Long N-3 Together

51

Standard 6: Total ‘Oils-for-Health’ Program

Udo’s Oil DHA-enhanced 3,6,9 Blend combines Steps 1 and 2

Easy-to-use; Convenient; All-in-oneShort and long N-3 EFAsClean; Balanced Total ‘oils-for-health’ product

25 years of work

52

• Minimum: 1tsp/day (2grams of ALA/day) to begin cardiovascular health improvement

• ***Optimum***: 1Tbsp/50 pounds of body weight/day; widespread benefits; switch from damaged to healthy oils; 2, 3, 4 Tbsp/day

• 100mg of DHA in each 15ml (1Tbsp) of Udo’s Oil DHA-enhanced 3,6,9 Blend; also contains natural EPA, DPA, and antioxidants

• Goes in all foods: hot soup, hot veggies, salad dressing, veggie/fruit juice, yogurt, cottage cheese, protein shakes, smoothies, hot potatoes, apple sauce, spicy foods, strong-flavored foods

Udo’s Oil DHA-enhanced 3,6,9 Blend

53

Why use it?1. Background Fats: Are major nutrients; Better than damaged

‘cooking’ oils for health; Need short background fats plus longEPA/DHA oil to get optimum health; Using only long EPA/DHAoils is not enough; Even good fish oils are not enough

2. Vegan/Vegetarian source of short plus long N-3 EFA for body, brain, eyes, pregnancy, fetal, infant, child development, & more

3. Can stop using damaged &/or toxic Fish Oils, without fearing damage to health

4. Health-building: Health is the cure of all diseases; the only other cure is death

Goal: A bottle in 99.9% of all fridges; More vital than bread & milk

Udo’s Oil DHA-enhanced 3-6-9 Blend

54

Cooking oils, Fish oils: processed for long shelf life; colorless, odorless, tasteless – Treated with: NaOH, H3PO4 to remove alkali- and acid-soluble ingredients; Bleaching clays, which

cause bad odor & taste; Damaged by high temperature to remove bad odor, taste, & toxins• 1 M toxic molecules for each of body’s 60 trillion cells in 1Tbsp of shelf-stable cooking oil

damaged 1% by processing; • 3-5% damaged molecules is not uncommon for fish oils

Fried oils: Damaged by light, oxygen, & heat • Increase cancer, inflammation, cardiovascular disease

Hydrogenated oils: CLA, Margarine, Shortening, Partially hydrogenated vegetable oils; Contain Trans- fatty acids:

• Double risk of heart attack, stroke, embolism; increase diabetes; kill 30,000+ Americans/year• Interfere with liver detoxification; change immune function; interfere with reproduction• Interfere with vision and learning in children• Interfere with EFA functions

For best Health: Use protected, undamaged, toxin-free seed+algae EFAs;Avoid damaged, toxic oils and fats and the products containing them!!!

Oils to Avoid (remember note on saturated and carbs-sugars)

55

• Excess fuel (esp. carbs): Force body fat production, Turn off fat burning; Raise blood sugar; Raise insulin secretion; Lower blood sugar

– Cause Sleepiness, Headaches, Depression, Cravings, Carb addiction

• N-3: Block body fat production, Turn on fat burning, Increase energy, Increase heat production (thermogenesis); Suppress appetite; Decrease blood sugar fluctuations & insulin secretion

Fuel shift: To lose fat, lower carb intake and replace with non-toxic,balanced N-3 EFA-rich oil

– 1Tbsp/25kg (50pounds) of body weight/day

• Then (it’s easy to) get active!! (Steven D Clarke, 2000)

Weight Management: Fuel Shift; Food Shift; Exercise

56

Weight Management: cont

Food Shift: Emphasize greens, good fats, & protein; Never eat more fuel (non-essential fats, carbs, sweets, & fruit) than you burn by physical activity; Avoid white & burned foods

Exercise: When fuel shift and food shift are in place, energy for exercise is amply available
