Low fat – another nail in the coffin
So here’s an interesting study: «Effects of a lifestyle intervention in metabolically benign and malign obesity.« From the intro: “In the last few years it has been shown that metabolically healthy obese (MHO) individuals comprise roughly 30% of obese people and 10% of the adult general population [1– 5]. In addition to having insulin sensitivity…

Veien til god helse – Hvem skal vi stole på?
Et av de vanskeligste spørsmålene å svare på, men likevel et av de viktigste spørsmålene å stille på vår vei til god helse er, ”Hvem skal vi stole på?” Det er, og vil alltid være, ulike meninger om hva som utgjør et optimalt kosthold. For de fleste kan det være nær umulig å vite hvem…

Do you exercise like a predator or prey?
I have little time for writing these days. I mostly hover quietly in the background of the blogosphere and the twittering realm, plotting for the lifestyle revolution to come. But a thought hit me in the shower one day. Exercise is stress. It is a voluntarily induced stressing of our physiology which triggers certain responses.…

Veien til god helse – Korn
«Velg grove brød og kornvarer så får du i deg nyttige næringsstoffer som fiber, vitaminer, jern og mineraler. Grove kornprodukter gir metthet som varer. Grovt er ikke dyrere – bare sunnere!» Opplysningskontoret for brød og korn Min store interesse for kosthold startet da jeg tidlig i studiene leste en av bøkene til Robert C. Atkins,…

Brød og sirkus
Jeg tar en liten pause fra serien om veien til god helse for å skrive ned noen tanker om den medieskapte debatten om lavkarbo vs. myndighetenes kostholdsråd. Både TV og aviser har forstått at dette er noe som engasjerer veldig. Se bare på kommentarfeltene i forbindelse med lavkarbosaker på nettet. Jeg har fulgt utviklingen til…

The fittest person in the morgue
I have to admit that the title is stolen from an article by Mary Sheppard. The article is about the strange phenomenon of athletes keeling over and dying during strenuous exercise. The irony is that a marathoner will probably be the most worn out specimen at the morgue despite having a high VO2max before death.…

Veien til god helse – Kjøtt
Gress og gressetere har utviklet seg sammen. En drøvtygger kan bryte ned cellulosen i planter fordi den har en mage som har utviklet seg for nettopp dette formålet. Den tåler også de antibeitestoffene som skader mennesker når vi spiser gress (les korn). Men også drøvtyggere blir syke om de får mye kornfrø, så kjøp kjøtt…

Carbs and cancer
This is not one of those “carbs cause cancer” posts. I though “Carbs and cancer” had a better ring to it than for example “Metabolism and cancer”, what with the alliteration and all. Still, it’s important to remember that although carbohydrate restriction is an effective treatment for cancer, this does not mean cancer is caused…

Exercise zen – this is my habitat
«Because it’s there» George Mallory, when asked why he wanted to climb Mount Everest. Between the productive factory and the setting sun the rusty old metal offered me exercise. I accepted, but not for the exercise.

Veien til god helse – utgangspunktet
Tenk deg at du har lyst til å ha så god helse som mulig. Hvor skal du begynne å lete for å finne ut hvordan? Hos legen din? I aviser eller blader? Hos en sprek kamerat? Treningssenter? Sannheten er at det finnes et fag, eller en faglig base, vi kan og bør bruke som utgangspunkt…

MEATEAT
Da de nye norske kostholdsanbefalingene kom ut i tidligere i år, var det med en advarsel mot å innta for mye rødt kjøtt: Advarselen er tilsynelatende basert på vitenskapelige data som viser at kjøtt kan føre til tykktarmskreft. Det finnes ingen data som viser at denne påstanden er sannsynlig, noe jeg har skrevet om her.…

Shoot the messenger
The blogosphere is buzzing with new theories, discussions, disagreements and downright squabbles. What better time to look at some of the ways to make your case. There are many ways to lose an argument, these are just a few examples. Argumentum ad hominem (to the man) When you have no basis for an argument, abuse…

A spark of reason
I’ve been reading through many (not all) of the comments on Guyenet’s rebuttal of the carbohydrate hypothesis. Although it can be rather tedious, especially because of the apparent mental hospital escapee ItsTheWoo2 (who does have a few good points but a complete lack of putting those point out there in a sane way), but Stephan…

Macronutrients and food reward

by
If you see one bright red swan, you are not likely to give up a theory that says that all swans are white; you will instead go looking for the person who painted it. Imre Lakatos Much is being said on this subject. Bet many are getting pretty fed up by now. But I still…

Science and religion
He held forth on a great range of topics, on some of which he was thoroughly expert but on others of which he may have derived his views from the few pages of a book at which he had happened to glance. The air of authority was the same in both cases. Roy Harrod about…

Er proteiner mettende?
«The mechanisms by which protein may affect satiety remain elusive.» Halton and Hu 2004 [1] “Although the immediate satiating effect of dietary fat may be comparatively weak, there is no doubt that ingested fat does inhibit feeding.” Leonhardt 2004 [2] «Protein er bra både fordi det gjør at du blir mett og fordi det hjelper…

Food reward, a factor in obesity
“I think food reward offers the most compelling explanation for the US/global obesity epidemic.” Stephan Guynet “In studies where the food intake and energy expenditure of subjects are carefully monitored over a period of weeks to months (which tends to average out day-to-day fluctuations) a remarkable balance between calories consumed and calories burned was observed.…
