Scientists have studied many foods and dietary components for possible associations with increasing or reducing cancer risk.

Credit: National Cancer Institute

Many studies have looked at the possibility that specific dietary components or nutrients are associated with increases or decreases in cancer risk. Studies of cancer cells in the laboratory and of animal models have sometimes provided evidence that isolated compounds may be carcinogenic (or have anticancer activity).

But with few exceptions, studies of human populations have not yet shown definitively that any dietary component causes or protects against cancer. Sometimes the results of epidemiologic studies that compare the diets of people with and without cancer have indicated that people with and without cancer differ in their intake of a particular dietary component.

However, these results show only that the dietary component is associated with a change in cancer risk, not that the dietary component is responsible for, or causes, the change in risk. For example, study participants with and without cancer could differ in other ways besides their diet, and it is possible that some other difference accounts for the difference in cancer.

When evidence emerges from an epidemiologic study that a dietary component is associated with a reduced risk of cancer, a randomized trial may be done to test this possibility. Random assignment to dietary groups ensures that any differences between people who have high and low intakes of a nutrient are due to the nutrient itself rather than to other undetected differences. (For ethical reasons, randomized studies are not generally done when evidence emerges that a dietary component may be associated with an increased risk of cancer.)

Scientists have studied many additives, nutrients, and other dietary components for possible associations with cancer risk. These include:

Dietary Treatments

All dietary treatments strive to reduce the food sources for the bacteria. They seek to feed the person but starve the bacteria. Our diet has a significant impact on our intestinal bacterial population. Bacteria primarily eat carbohydrates so all the recommended diets decrease carbohydrates to reduce the bacteria by limiting their food supply. The only carbohydrate that bacteria do not eat much of is insoluble fiber. The established SIBO treatment diets are the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD), the Gut and Psychology Syndrome Diet (Gaps Diet), the Low Fodmap Diet (LFD) or a combination of these diets such as SCD + LFD (see below). The established prevention diets include all the above plus the Cedars-Sinai Diet (see below). "Fermentable" refers to what bacteria eat.

Fermentable Carbohydrates/Saccharides:StarchResistant StarchSoluble FiberSugar (in all it's forms)Prebiotics (inulin, FOS, MOS, GOS, arabinogalactan)

Sources of Fermentable Carbohydrates/Saccharides:Starch- grains, beans, starchy vegetablesResistant Starch- whole grains, seeds, legumesSoluble Fiber- grains, beans, nuts/seeds, vegetables, fruitSugar- fruit, sweetenersPrebiotics- agave, beans, vegetables, roots/herbs, supplements

My hope was that practitioners would customize the SIBO Specific Food Guide into more specific diet plans for their patients. Thats just what Dr. Jacobi did with the SIBO Bi-Phasic diet, and countless doctors and patients have benefited from it. The SIBO Bi-Phasic Diet puts the SSFG into phases, which are then combined with other treatment such as antimicrobials.

The Diet

This diet is famous for explaining and including lactose-free dairy foods, especially the introduction of 24-hour homemade yogurt as well as introducing nut-flour (predominantly almond flour), as a substitution for standard wheat and grain flours in baked goods or breading.

ResourcesBesides the book (BTVC), which contains great recipes (Lois Lang's Bread and Basic Muffins are my favorites), there are a plethora of SCD websites which include free recipes, supplies and mail order foods. I highly recommend getting 1 or more of the SCD Cookbooks.

Weight loss is never easy. In fact, it requires a strong will and unyielding determination. Your weight loss results also greatly depend on the lifestyle youre leading. If youre more into lazing around the house rather than heading for the gym, your chances of dropping a few extra pounds are seriously undermined. But that doesnt mean that there is no way to lose some weight. Continue reading about The Military Diet below

The Military Diet is one of the latest weight loss trends, which has virtually taken the world like wildfire, mostly because of its simplicity and effectiveness.

If youre already familiar with it, then your first association is probably lose 10 pounds in a week or 30 pounds in a month. This will sound implausible to most people, simply because we are all rather skeptical when it comes to diet plans that guarantee fast weight loss results. But, the Military Diet is not a typical starvation diet. While its low in calories, at the same time it comprises carbohydrates, protein and healthy fats, all of which are needed for optimal body function.

Losing 10 pounds a week without depriving your body of the essential nutrients it depends on for proper function may sound too good to be true. But, the truth is most of those dieters whove tried it, vouch for its efficacy.

The Military Diet, however, is not walking a path of roses. If you want to know how this diet gives such great weight loss results in no time, and more importantly, whether its suited for you, read on and find out!

The Military Diet has been conceived as a form of intermittent fasting that covers a period of one week. In other words, there are two phases to this diet a set low-calorie meal plan for the first 3 days of the diet followed by a less restrictive 4-day dietary regimen.

The total calorie intake for the 3-day phase ranges from 1,000-1,400 calories per day. The remaining 4 days revolve around healthy food as well and dieters are advised to keep their calorie intake low.

The diet can be repeated several times until a desired weight loss goal is reached.

Despite the common belief that the Military Diet has originally been intended for the US army, in reality, it has nothing to do with any military organization. Its also knows as the navy diet, the army diet, even the ice cream diet.

There are a number of reasons that make the Military Diet so effective. First of all, its low in calories meaning itll lead to a calorie (energy) deficit in your body. To make up for it, your body will have to use stored fat as fuel. In other words, youll lose weight.

Next, it involves intermittent fasting, which is extremely beneficial for weight loss. Fasting increases insulin sensitivity, which means the nutrients you ingest go into your muscle and liver cells rather than your fat cells.

You may say that the Military Diet plan is not really fasting as you have 3 meals a day. However, the daily calorie intake is very low and any diet plan with a calorie intake of 1,000 calories per day or lower is considered fasting.

Last, but not least, this dietary regimen aims at increasing your metabolic rate; a metabolic rate being the number of calories burnt. The foods in the Military Diet plan include high protein foods, high fiber foods and foods rich in calcium. They are highly beneficial for increasing your fat-burning metabolism.

Aside from its fast diet efficacy, there are several other factors that contribute to the widespread popularity of the Military Diet. First, its the time factor. Namely, this diet lasts 3 days only, and taken that most diet plans cover longer periods, this is extremely motivating for dieters. You do have to continue the low calorie intake for the remaining 4 days (this is actually a 7-day diet plan!), but these are not as restrictive as the first three days. You can eat whatever you want, whenever you want during the day as long as your calorie intake remains around 1,500. Plus, you see the results in very short time, which is highly motivating for dieters to continue losing weight and increase their weight loss results even more.

Then, theres the simplicity factor. This diet is so simple that you dont have to count calories or search high and low for magic potions that will miraculously reduce your waistline. All you need is some common foods you probably already have in your kitchen. Even if dont, they are all easily available at any grocery store.

Finally, its the no-starvation factor. You get to eat three nutrient-rich meals a day and drink as much coffee and tea as you like (you do need to watch out for calories from cream or sugar though!). The meals on this diet plan may be low in calories, but they are a great combination of dietary fat, carbohydrate and protein, which reduce cravings. Plus, the meals are simple and easy to prepare and require spending very little time in the kitchen. And, its probably the only diet that allows ice cream and hotdogs!

One of the most appealing aspects of the Military Diet is that it helps you lose up to 10 pounds in only 3 days, which makes it ideal for people who want to slim down fast. Some important events in life, such as your best friends engagement party or simply an unplanned beach holiday, often catch you off-guard. If you want to look your best at the party or get beach ready, then this diet is just what you need. Itll get your body back in shape in virtually 72 hours.

This diet is also well-suited for people who are time-bound and cant afford spending their time shopping for ingredients or preparing time-consuming meals. The meals on the Military Diet are very simple and straight-forward making this dietary regimen very easy to comply with.

Over eaters can also benefits from this diet as the portions are rather small, which prevents going over the board with meals. Plus, you dont feel food-deprived in any regard because the meals include fat, carbs ad salt.

Vegetarians can also follow the Military Diet by replacing the animal protein and dairy with vegan alternatives.

The meal plan for the first day totals about 1,400 calories.

Breakfast:

Lunch:

Dinner:

The meals for the second day of the dietary regimen amount to 1,200 calories.

Breakfast:

Lunch:

Dinner:

The meals for the third day of the diet plan equal around 1,100 calories.

Breakfast:

Lunch:

Dinner:

While the first 3 days of the diet have a set menu, the remaining 4 days are far less restrictive. You should stick to a healthy, well-balanced diet and keep your calorie intake below 1,500.

For people with dietary restrictions or food sensitivity, substitutions are acceptable for the 3-day diet plan. For instance, if youre allergic to peanuts, you can swap peanut butter with almond butter. Or, if youre a vegetarian, you can replace tuna with a serving of almonds. The only thing to comply with is the number of calories you consume.

Last, but not least, avoid drinking diet sodas and other artificially-sweetened beverages, even if they have zero calories, as these only reduce your weight loss results. Instead, increase your water intake as water is the staple for any diet plan it promotes fat burning and toxin elimination while curbing food cravings.

Even though the Military Diet is quite effective and gives great results in only a weeks time, you can lose even more weight by implementing several things on the way. As you already know, exercise is extremely beneficial for any weight loss plan simply because you burn calories when exercising. Since your calorie intake on the Military Diet will be very low, the calories burnt during exercise will be drawn from your fat stores. This will further increase your weight loss results than simply dieting without exercise.

But, dont worry if you are time-bound or cant afford expensive gym membership fees. Brisk walking for 20-30 minutes on a daily basis is all you need to speed up the fat burning process.

Another thing to have in mind is the importance of drinking lots of water. Water is filling and will help you feel full longer. Drinking water before meals is highly beneficial because it reduces appetite and helps you eat less than normal. Plus, its calorie-free, which means you can drink as much as you want.

Last, but not least, you can extend the duration of the Military Diet. In this case, your diet plan will cover a whole week as youll repeat days 1-3 and then day 1 again to complete a weeks duration. Although this will give optimal weight loss results, have in mind that it will also be quite challenging.

Its a fact that the military diet can help you lose 10 pounds in a week simply because its a low-calorie diet plan. However, it cant prevent weight gain in the long-run, i.e. when you start eating normally again, especially if your calorie intake exceeds the recommended limit. The thing is, all the excess calories in your body remain stored as fat and unless this fat is burnt through creating a calorie deficit in the body or physical exercise, theres no way you can possibly prevent weight regain.

On the other hand, 2,000 calories a day is all an average woman needs to avoid weight gain. And, you have to admit, this isnt a small amount of calories. If you cut out fast food (an average 14-inch Pizza hut pizza contains 2,400 calories, a Big Mac 550 calories, and a liter of Coke 400 calories) and stick to a healthy, well-balanced diet that provides no more than 2,000 calories a day, youve got all it takes to prevent weight gain in the long run.

The Military Diet is ideal for people who want to slim down fast. Its a simple, straight-forward diet plan thats very low-cost and no time-consuming. It has fast diet efficacy and can help you lose up to 10 pounds a week.

However, this dietary regimen only gives temporary results. It is not recommended as a long-term weight loss plan due to its extremely low calorie allowance and nutrient deficiencies.

Csar A. Lara M.D

Tampa HCG Doctor, Csar Lara, M.D. helps women and men to lose weight using the HCG diet in the Tampa area.In his quest to empower his patients and get to the root of their problems rather than just contain them, Csar Lara, M.D. created a vastly successful weight management practice through which he has been able to help thousands of patients regain their health by getting rid of their excess weight and keep it off with lifestyle modification.

Dr. Csar Lara is board-certified in Obesity Medicine and has an Advanced Certification in Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT). Dr. Csar Lara, HCG Medical Weight Loss Program is designed to treat obesity as a disease, NOT a weakness in character.

Dr. Lara has created a weight loss program that utilizes medical diagnostic tools to identify hormonal imbalances that hinder patients from reaching their optimal health, and creates a unique approach to bring balance back to their bodies and their lives. Csar Lara, M.D. has finally realized his dream of empowering his patients to achieve optimal physical health, thus restoring their emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being.

The HCG diet has been in practice for over 60 years after it was developed following the discovery of the affects of the HCG hormone in the 1950s by Doctor A.T.W. Simeons. While doing research and practicing medicine in India, Dr. Simeons noticed that malnourished pregnant Indian women were often able to give birth to healthy babies.

After extensive research, he found that the Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) hormone was responsible for this phenomenon as HCG would use the mothers fat stores to supply her unborn child with the nutrients needed to develop and grow normally. Dr. Simeons then successfully began using the hormone in individuals that were not pregnant to trigger fat stores to be metabolized naturally by the body, resulting in dramatic yet safe weight loss results.

The HCG diet encourages the body burn fat reserves as fuel using HCG supplementation and a low-calorie diet. Because of the HCG hormones interaction with the hypothalamus, the body is able to endure a low calorie diet of around 500 calories per day without causing harm or undesirable side effects usually associated with other low-calorie diets such as fatigue, headaches, and stomach pain. Without the use of the HCG hormone, a 500 calorie per day diet would cause these side effects and would put the body into conservation mode, causing it to store up even more fat and burn muscle mass for fuel.

Tampa HCG Doctor Csar Lara, M.D. helps patients to lose weight more easily and effectively with the HCG diet.

Most people on the HCG diet are able to lose around one pound per day, which can add up to a total loss of thirty or more pounds of fat after only one course of an HCG diet plan.

Most diets cause a patient to only lose water weight and muscle tissue. Extremely low-calorie diets often cause the body to metabolize muscle as it is a fast protein source and provides immediate energy to the body. Consuming an inadequate amount of calories with the intention of losing weight without proper supervision and HCG supplementation can cause muscle loss and may even increase the bodys fat stores over time.

While on the HCG diet, thousands of calories from fat stores are being metabolized by the body, and despite the low calorie diet, most patients do not experience fatigue, hunger pains or other side effects generally associated with a low-calorie diet.

The HCG diet can cause patients to lose large amounts of fat in a short period of time, which sets it apart from other diets. Some diets can deliver weight loss results yet the weight is easily gained back shortly after finishing the diet program; however, the HCG diet plan can lead to greater amounts of weight loss with a low rate of regain due to the total metabolic reset instigated by the HCG hormone.

While the HCG hormone does not target specific areas in the body, it does tend to break down fat where it is most abundant. Typical results are seen in the waist, buttocks, thighs, and arms when following a properly administered and supervised HCG diet plan.

Because the HCG diet works directly with the hypothalamus, the bodys metabolism can get reset to a new point after weight loss. Many people have been able to retain their new metabolic function even after finishing the HCG diet.

The main reason that people fail to stay on diets is that subsiding on a reduced daily caloric intake makes them physically uncomfortable. They experience hunger pangs, weakness, irritability, headaches, and many other unpleasant symptoms. The constant cycle of losing and gaining weight takes a toll on the body and makes it increasingly difficult to lose weight and keep it off. Another problem with traditional diets is that the body stores fat for survival when it is in starvation mode. It pulls its energy from muscle instead, which helps to explain the overall fatigue most people feel when they are dieting.

If the thought of living comfortably on a 500-calorie per day diet seems impossible, you need to know more about the HCG diet. The HCG hormone, which a womans body produces naturally when she is pregnant, helps to keep your appetite under control during the first part of the program. Once you get past the first few days of restricted eating, you may be surprised to find that you feel satisfied and dont think much about food at all. The pounds drop off when you dont have to constantly fight the urge to give in to hunger, leading to an increase in confidence and an even greater desire to make the HCG diet your last one.

The HCG diet offers results that you just cant find anywhere else. The average participant loses between one and two pounds every day during the initial 23 to 40 days on the program. Just imagine for a moment how good you would feel with that much weight gone from your body. If you need to lose more, CsarLara, M.D. requires you wait for several weeks to let your body adjust before starting another course of HCG supplementation and dieting. The skills you learned during your first time through the program, such as making smart food choices and staying hydrated with water, will serve you well should you decide to enroll for a second time.

When trying to lose weight fast, we will, at times, procrastinate about almost anything. Paying bills, making dinner, or even painting the garage will get put off until the very last minute. So, why would your weight loss goals for this year be any different?

There are only a few months left in the year and youre still quite a few pounds away from the goal that you set. You really only have two options at this point. You can just throw in the towel and start all over next year; or you can get cracking, lose the weight, and accomplish your goals!

If youre still reading this and havent walked away, that must mean youve decided to lose the weight before you run out of time. The clock is running, so follow these tips to lose weight fast.

Lets just get the bad news out of the way first. In order to lose weight, your body needs to be running on a calorie deficit. If youre following all of the other tips to a tee, but arent burning more calories than youre consuming, youll end up living in weight loss purgatory.

Now that we got the bad news out of the way, there is some good news pertaining to calorie restriction. Technology has made it easier than ever to determine how many calories you should be trying to get in order to achieve your desired weight.

Online calorie counters, as well as apps on your mobile device, will eliminate the outdated process of writing down everything you eat per day and then looking up its caloric value.

Okay, the first two tips probably made you think that trying to drop weight fast is going to be an extremely unpleasant task. What if I told you that packing on some lean muscle mass is also an important factor in dropping pounds quickly? Things are sounding better, right?

Think about this, 10 pounds of lean muscle can burn 50 calories at rest, while the same weight in fat only burns about 20 calories at rest. This is a pretty significant difference if you consider that theres absolutely no effort that goes into this. You just sit there and burn more calories when you have more muscle.

If your goal is to lose weight as fast as possible, then youre going to need to know what the fastest way to build muscle is then, wont you? When youre in the weight room, stick to compound movements that target more than one muscle group at a time.

Spending too much time on isolation exercises isnt very time efficient because they only target one specific muscle group at a time. The more muscle groups and joints you can hit in an exercise, the better. You cant go wrong with squats, presses, and deadliftsthe basics.

As we stated previously, cutting some calories out will be imperative, but what calories will you need to cut? Although carbohydrates have received some undeserved criticism over the last decade, they will be something to watch out for right now.

If your priority was endurance or performance, then you would not be able to successfully operate without them. However, since our goal is losing weight quickly, there wont be a reason to carb up right now. The number of carbs that you will need to drop will depend on:

With all of the factors that determine the amount of carbs you should be consuming, its clearly not an exact science. The best way to start out is by simply removing refined wheats and foods with added sugars from your diet.

Then you can begin to remove other carbohydrate sources as well. Here is a pretty basic sample of good and bad foods for a typical low-carb diet:

Good:

Bad:

Testosterones role on body fat has been receiving a lot of attention over the last few years. It plays a crucial part in the way our body balances glucose, insulin, and the metabolism of fat. Unfortunately, men will gradually decrease their testosterone production during middle age.

Basically, if youre over the age of 30, declining, testosterone levels could make you feel like youre fighting an uphill battle when it comes to weight loss. This doesnt mean that you have to hang your head in defeat.

There are several ways that you can naturally boost your testosterone levels and some of them we have already covered.

Possibly the easiest tip on this list, drinking a cup of black coffee between meals can help you burn some calories ASAP. Coffee speeds up your metabolism and can increase your daily energy expenditure.

The caffeine in the coffee is really what does all the work. Caffeine is a stimulant that causes an effect called thermogenesis. Thermogenesis is induced what happens when your body heat rises due to calorie burning.

Ever drink a cup of coffee or eat a large meal and start sweating? If so, then youve experienced the power of the thermogenic effect firsthand. Just be sure that your coffee is black; no added sweeteners.

You still have some time to reach that target bodyweight that you promised yourself. It will take hard work, discipline, and consistency; but the compliments you receive, combined with the pride of your accomplishment, will make it all worth it.

Turn on Your Bodys Natural Anti-Aging Process!

Sermorelin acetate is a synthetic hormone, discovered in the 1970s, that has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration to effectively raise human growth hormone levels in the body which could result in less body fat, more energy, and increased libido.**

Sermorelin, also known as GHRH, stimulates a persons own pituitary gland to promote HGH (human growth hormone) naturally.

When used under the care of a qualified physician, sermorelin can enhance your weight loss program, give you more energy, and help you feel younger.**

Sermorelin is a synthetic hormone peptide similar in structure to growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH), a hormone that triggers the release of growth hormone. Typically, releasing hormones have 44 amino acids. However, sermorelin is unique in that it only contains the first 29, which are responsible for stimulating the production of growth hormone by the pituitary gland and for it to be secreted. This is what gives sermorelin its chemical name, GRH 1-29 NH2. NH2 indicates the terminal amino acid of the molecule.

Human growth hormone (HGH) therapy has been used extensively and successfully for a number of years to treat hormone deficiencies. Unlike HGH therapy, which directly replaces declining levels of HGH, sermorelin addresses the primary cause of decreased HGH production by naturally stimulating the pituitary gland. This approach keeps the mechanisms of growth hormone production that decline with age active.

With sermorelin hormone replacement therapy, our clients typically experience:**

Sermorelin acetate for HGH hormone replacement therapy provides relief from the symptoms of HGH deficiency. Sermorelin offers the same positive effects as HGH therapy, but with a number of proven additional advantages. One very important benefit of sermorelin is its proven effect on the brain to promote non-REM slow wave sleep, which further allows individuals to benefit from anti-aging therapies.

Since sermorelin therapy helps the body create HGH on its own, the bodys natural mechanisms for regulating production of growth hormone make it very difficultfor an overdose to occur**. Sermorelin is a safe option for growth hormone replacement therapy when used properly.

Sermorelin, as a growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH), promotes deep non-REM sleep . During non-REM sleep, the body secretes a significant amount of the its daily production of growth hormone.

Growth hormone binds to receptors on specific cells throughout the body. For example, fat cells or adipocytes contain receptors for growth hormone. When hGH binds to these receptors, it stimulates adipocytes to break down triglyceride the main component of body fat in humans. Too much triglyceride can result in an elevated risk of stroke. When activated by hGH, the ability of adipocytes to take up and accumulate lipids, or fatty acids, in the blood is suppressed.

In addition, growth hormone also binds to receptors located on the surface of liver cells. When growth hormone binds to these receptor, liver cells are stimulated to produce insulin-like growth factor-1, also referred to as IGF-1 and somatomedin. IGF-1 has been proven to stimulate protein synthesis as well as stimulate amino acid transport and inhibit protein breakdown.
