Carb Dieting Secrets
12. Thin for Good
Before he began extolling the virtues of Australian macadamia nut oil,
Dr. Fred Pescatore wrote the book Thin For Good: The One Low-Carb Diet
That Will Finally Work for You. This plan explores the mind-body
connection in lasting weight loss and includes plans for men and women
as well as a low-carb diet plan for vegetarians.
In Thin For Good, Dr. Pescatore lays out “The Eleven Emotional Levels
of Eating” which are:
1 Anger: often felt at the beginning of a new diet, or at
ourselves for getting fat; but this is good because it is motivating
2 Frustration: can result from looking at the success of others
and comparing it to our own seeming lack of success; but be careful –
this a negative emotion and often the one that causes people to give up
3 Sadness: closely tied to self pity or mourning for old ways of
life and eating
4 Fear: this emotion is often very difficult to let go of and
usually shows up around the same time as the first weight loss
successes (Can I keep this diet up for the rest of my life?)
5 Understanding: you must work through the first 4 emotions to
get to this more positive point when you begin to understand what your
bad food habits are and accept them
6 Trepidation: described as nervousness, edginess and wariness;
the doubt that can set in as you begin to see results from your diet
7 Envy: a harmful emotion that arises from comparing yourself to
others
8 Boredom: this emotion can kill a diet; add some variety to your
meals in accordance to your diet plan
9 Relief: the beginning of the positive emotions that should be
enjoyed
10 Joy: comes after you have achieved real results; try not to
sabotage it with negative thinking
11 Contentment: the final emotion experienced once people realize
their weight loss goals
Along with various exercises to help you work through your emotions,
Dr. Pescatore suggests low-carb comfort food recipes that he says can
help you feel better when dealing with these emotions.
He suggests “Mind Over Calories” as a concept to embrace because it
will help you keep weight off for good. He reveals that this
concept helped him once he lost weight and has helped him to keep it
off. Mind Over Calories is about training yourself not to feel
the desire for sugary, bad-carb foods that will wreck your diet and
lead you right back to were you were before – overweight and unhealthy.
He also includes suggestions for dietary supplements for men and women,
foods to avoid if you are on a yeast-restricted diet, have thyroid or
hormonal problems and more than 40-pages of recipes.
An added bonus is the Thin For Good Food Pyramid that has proteins and
fats at the base, complex carbs right above them, simple carbs like
starchy veggies and fruits in the third place and finally at the very
tip sugar in all its various forms.

Kids and The Low-Carb Lifestyle
by: Philip J. Goscienski, M.D.
Some pediatricians have been prescribing a low-carb diet for a select group of children for decades, and what they have seen is very unsettling. The ketogenic diet was developed more than 80 years ago in order to control seizures that did not respond to the anticonvulsant medications that were available then. There are now dozens of medications that help to control seizures but the ketogenic diet is still used. The good news is that it does stop or slow down the frequency of seizures. The bad news is that it has some unhealthy effects on the heart.
