Where did we get the
idea that aging had to mean "growing old?"
Can you picture yourself at age
70 or 80, still being active and energetic, enjoying a couple of laps around
the pool or 18 holes of golf? To many of us, a balanced diet, daily exercise and
valuable nutritional
supplementation may not seem that important at age 20, 30 or 40. But it's the
habits you form and the
way you live your life during those early years that establish a foundation for
the energy and health you'll
have throughout the rest of your life.

Why
Can't I Lose Weight? (Part 2)
Review Your
Medication
Weight-loss plateaus are often caused not by what you eat but by
prescription drugs. Drugs for high blood
pressure, especially diuretics and the drugs known as beta-blockers, can make
your body extremely
resistant to weight loss. A lot of cardiology patients who come to The Atkins
Center are taking these
drugs. They can't lose weight while they're on them, but being overweight is a
big reason for their high
blood pressure.
At The Center, the
solution to this circular problem, he explains, is to gradually taper patients
off blood-
pressure medications and replace them with herbs and dietary supplements. As
patients lose weight and
improve other aspects of their health, their blood pressure often returns to
normal, eliminating the need for
any treatment. Always discuss any change in medications with your health-care
practitioner.
The same chicken-and-egg situation applies to patients who are taking selective
serotonin reuptake
inhibitor (SSRI) antidepressants. Common side effects of SSRIs, such as anxiety,
sleeplessness,
nervousness and headaches, actually create carbohydrate cravings. For example,
about 10 percent of
people on Prozac® have appetite loss, but about a third experience
increased appetite. Patients quickly
start to lose weight when they stop these drugs.
Natural substitutes for SSRI drugs include the herbs St. John's wort and kava
kava or inositol
hexanicotinate, a B vitamin. Warning: Never stop antidepressants on your own—you
need to taper off
these drugs slowly—and that there can be interactions with alternative remedies.
Don't forget to consult
your doctor. Cholesterol-lowering statin drugs also keep you from losing weight
and they're potentially
dangerous as well. At The Atkins Center, we stop statin drugs immediately. Our
low-carbohydrate eating
plan alone will improve blood lipids.
Forget the
Java
Excessive
caffeine has the same weight-loss-inhibiting effect as
aspartame because it can cause low
blood sugar, making you crave carbs. Caffeine is found not just in coffee and
tea but also in chocolate and
many soft drinks. Switch to decaffeinated coffee and tea, experiment with
flavorful herbal teas or stick to
plain, pure water. You may miss caffeine or even experience withdrawal symptoms
at first, but, as
Eberstein points out, "We often see weight loss start up again as soon as
patients remove caffeine and
aspartame from their diet."
Are You a Diabetic?
The most fattening of all the hormones is
insulin.
Diabetics who have to inject insulin find it almost
impossible to lose weight. Oral drugs are almost as bad. According to Dr.
Atkins, "The majority of oral
medications for diabetes have a weight-gain effect. Even drugs that don't
stimulate insulin have this effect.
The one drug that does help diabetics control their blood sugar and lose weight
is metformin, marketed
under the brand name Glucophage®. At The Atkins Center, physicians
often prescribe this for diabetic
patients when they start the Atkins program. Once they've been following it for
a while, their need for the
drug almost invariably disappears."

Avoid the top 5
Fitness Failures
-
Don't neglect strength
training just
because you're a cardio buff. More lean muscle mass gained
from weight lifting burns more calories.
-
Don't hold your breath when lifting weights. It could strain your heart.
Inhale as you release
weight and exhale as you push out.
-
Don't worry about bulking up. Women don't produce enough testosterone to
bulk up. Weight
training will simply sculpt your body and boost your metabolism.
-
Don't pig out just because you're exercising. Exercise can increase your
appetite, but don't let
it give you a false sense of being able to chow down.
-
Don't hesitate to hydrate. Proper hydration can both increase your energy
and help reduce your
appetite. Don't mistake thirst for hunger!

Is it better to work out in
the morning or the afternoon?
Some studies show that you burn
more stored fat if you exercise in the morning rather than later in the
day because it increases the metabolic rate for several hours afterward—so
you burn more calories from
food eaten during the day. But what may be more important is finding time to
fit exercise into your
schedule when you are most likely to do it. What is important is
establishing the habit.
Can't you lose weight
without exercising?
You may be able to lose weight without exercising, but it is not
recommended. Exercise not only
speeds weight loss and enhances muscle tone, it also offers a host of
other health benefits. Many
studies have shown that inactivity is a serious risk factor for heart
disease; more recently, lack of
exercise was linked to a greater risk of developing cancer.
