 While there certainly is some evidence that some people do, in the short term, lose weight on a diet that favors high protein, there are a number of caveats to this approach to weight loss. For one thing, the operative notion here seems to be "short-term." Short-term weight loss is rarely anyone's goal. Few of us want to lose weight for a few weeks: We want to lose it forever! And many studies have shown that high-protein diets are only effective in the short term. Keep in mind that there's no magic formula for even the short-term success of a high-protein diet. |

 Nakazawa introduces a term, "autogen," used to describe chemical triggers of autoimmune disease, drawing upon the term "carcinogen," which denotes chemical triggers of cancer. This term, which should become part of our society's lexicon, may serve as the clarion call for change that emerges from this book. The change needs to take the forms of personal responsibility and societal change. Companies should have to determine the effect of chemicals in developing autoimmunity as well as cancer, and state and federal legislation is needed to compel corporations to make this happen. |

 Over the long term, these subjects will find it very difficult to continue consuming an abnormally low level of calories; weight loss due to calorie restriction rarely leads to long-term weight loss. This is why other studies play such a crucial part in explaining the health benefits of a whole foods, plant-based diet, studies that show that the weight-loss effect is due to more than simple calorie restriction.
These studies document the fact that vegetarians consume the same amount or even significantly more calories than their meat-eating counterparts, andyet are still slimmer. |

 It is very difficult to read about—or write about—low-carbohydrate dieting without dealing with the term ketosis. If you've been around low-carb diets at all—if you've experimented with them, talked about them to your friends, read about them, read warnings about them—you've surely heard of ketosis. You've probably heard that it's some kind of metabolic state that accompanies these diets and that you should avoid it—and those "high-protein" fad diets that produce it—at all costs. |

| I'd also like to offer you a few pieces of advice for your first month:
• In the long term, plant-based eating is cheaper than an animal-based diet, but as you learn you may spend a little extra money trying things. Do it. It's worth it.
• Eat well. If you eat out, try lots of restaurants to find some great vegan dishes. Often, ethnic restaurants not only offer the most options for plant-based meals, but the unique tastes are exquisite. Learn what's out there.
• Eat enough. One of your health goals may be to lose weight. That's fine, and on a plant-based diet you almost certainly will. |

 In the very short term, the answer is no. It's not on U.S. soil, if you happen to be reading this in the States. If you're in Australia, it's not anywhere on that continent. If you're in the U.K., New Zealand, South America or Japan, it hasn't been detected in any of these locations. In the short term, if you're not in a region where bird flu has been detected, then you're relatively safe for the moment. The issue comes out in the long term, and the long term could be actually a fairly short time scale -- 6, 12 or 18 months. |

| And many studies have shown that high-protein diets are only effective in the short term. Keep in mind that there's no magic formula for even the short-term success of a high-protein diet. Most any diet that heavily emphasizes one category of macronu-trients like protein will probably be effective in the short term. As your food choices are substantially reduced, you naturally eat less. But there are additional and perhaps more significant dangers to a high-protein diet. |

| Because people do lose weight, at least in the short term.
In one published study47 funded by the Atkins Center for Complementary Medicine, researchers put fifty-one obese people on the Atkins diet.48 The forty-one subjects who maintained the diet over the course of six months lost an average of twenty pounds. In addition, average blood cholesterol levels decreased slightly47 which was perhaps even more important. Because of these two results, this study was presented in the media as real, scientific proof that the Atkins diet works and is safe. |

| Definitely has an antiestablishment tone, in the best sense of the term. Mercola is not a strict believer in low-carbing, but he is a strict believer in no grains and no sugar, and he is also an advocate of metabolic typing, a system of classifying people as "protein," "veg/carb," or "mixed" types and then designing healing diets for them accordingly.

 Demographers had coined the term while mapping one of these regions on the island of Sardinia. We expanded the term to include other longevity pockets around the world. Okinawa still ranked among those at the top of the list.
I was determined to delve deeper into the lifestyle of Okinawans as part of a new online expedition—the Blue Zones Quest. More than a million people a day would follow our progress online. It was a huge opportunity to make a difference, and I knew we couldn't miss any deadlines. I decided to track down Sayoko.

| I'll try to make it painless, though I understand that, for many, the term painless biochemistry is an oxymoron. If you want to skip the next few paragraphs, believe me, I won't be offended. If, however, you'd like to skewer the next person who tells you how dangerous your low-carb diet is because of ketosis, you might want to read the next few hundred words.

| Forget the term natural. Toxic mushrooms are all-natural, and so is crude oil, but we don't eat those. Look for real food, preferably without a bar code. Think about what you could have hunted, fished for, gathered, plucked, or grown if you were with your original ancestors on the savanna. That's natural food. Eat it.

| I've been working with the top nutritionists and endocrinologists in the field for fifteen years and I've never heard the term "starvation hormones." Wanna know why? 'Cause they don't exist. The author claims that you can return to eating "normally" once you achieve your weight goal, "normally" being defined as 2,500 to 3,000 calories a day. Hello? This statement pretty much belongs in the same category of thinking as the "flat earth" theory. It's utterly ridiculous and very disingenuous. |

| At that time, Olson was still serving his one-year term as president of the parent society, the American Institute of Nutrition, and had the power to do such things.
I remember thinking that this news was neither surprising nor disappointing. I knew I was the black sheep of the committee and had already stepped out of line at our inaugural meeting the previous year. My continued involvement in this particular group was going to amount to nothing more than trying to swim up Niagara Falls. |
| How these hundreds of genes interact over the long term with each other and their ever-changing environment to alter weight gain or loss is an incredibly complex mystery. Goethe once said, "We know accurately only when we know little; with knowledge doubt increases."13
Expression of our genetic code represents a universe of biochemical interactions of almost infinite complexity. This biochemical "universe" interacts with many different systems, including nutrition, which itself represents whole systems of complex biochemistry. |

 Humans who had direct exposure to microwaves but had not eaten irradiated food experienced:
Long term cumulative loss of vital energies. Destabilized metabolism. Cell damage.
Degeneration of electrical nerve impulses. Nervous and lymphatic systems damage. Hormone destabilization. Brainwave disturbances. Psychological disorders.
Conclusions on the effects of eating irradiated food included:
Long term permanent brain damage. Alteration or loss of hormone production. Permanent damage within the human body. Stomach and intestinal tumors.
Increase of cancer cells in human blood. |

 Insomnia
Insomnia is a broad term casually used to describe the inability either to fall asleep or to remain asleep during the course of the night. Insomniacs usually do not feel rested the next morning and may experience excessive drowsiness, irritability, and poor cognitive function during the day.
Sleep researchers classify insomnia in terms of the time of night that it affects: sleep onset insomnia, sleep maintenance insomnia, and early-morning awakening insomnia. |

 What are phytonutrients and where are they found?
The term "phyto" originated from a Greek word meaning plant. Phytonutrients are certain organic components of plants, and these components are thought to promote human health. Fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts and teas are rich sources of phytonutrients. Unlike the traditional nutrients (protein, fat, vitamins, minerals), phytonutrients are not "essential" for life, so some people prefer the term "phytochemical".

 The book begins with a discussion of the concept of "peak oil" -- a term that indicates we've nearly reached the peak production of fossil fuels for energy. After the peak oil point is reached, oil production will decline and the price of oil will naturally rise.
Kunstler points out that not only has oil likely reached a peak in terms of global production that may have occurred in the last two or three years, but at the same time the demand for oil is sharply rising around the world, especially as nations like China demonstrate an increasing appetite for energy consumption. |

 Today the term is used to describe anything that is foreign or poisonous to the body. Although we can certainly have toxic relatives and relationships, I generally use the term to discuss two broad classes: environmental and internal. Environmental toxins include household chemicals, industrial pollutants, food additives, and pesticides. Internal toxins consist of waste products created by normal metabolic processes within the body. Such digestive toxins are produced as a result of breaking down proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. |

 HALITOSIS
Halitosis is the medical term for bad breath. This condition may be caused by poor digestion, poor oral hygiene, gum disease, tooth decay, constipation, throat or nose infection, liver insufficiencies, inadequate protein digestion, or smoking. It is also often an indication of toxicity of some kind.
A person with persistent halitosis should consult a dentist or a physician to determine if there are any underlying problems that need to be treated. |
