This is my fifth day of a high-protein, low-fat, low-carb diet, and I have already developed a deep-seated hatred of egg whites. My regimen includes uncomfortable quantities of grilled chicken breast, fat-free cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, and egg protein, occasionally garnished with a lettuce leaf or perhaps a blueberry. Just yesterday I had to drink a plastic test tube of liquid protein to meet my goals (see offending product image to the left). It looked like a blood-tinged albumin sample, and tasted like orange flavor crystals with a splash of soy sauce. I know that the scientific literature (if we distill it and perhaps oversimplify it a bit) seems to suggest that there may be a short-term advantage to high-protein diets in terms of weight los...

I had the opportunity to offer some evidence-based weight loss and fitness tips to ABC News in Washington, DC.

I wrote quite recently about this here and here. Generally, two main reasons for why exercise does not promote significant weight loss [...] (Source: Dr John Biffa's Blog) Dr John Biffa's Blog blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=3595931 Tue, 25 May 2010 15:09:53 +0100 3595931 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3542906&cid=t_183449_167_f&fid=38576&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.drbriffa.com%2Fblog%2F2010%2F05%2F07%2Fhigher-protein-diet-with-resistance-exercise-best-for-fat-loss%2F There are a myriad of ways to lose weight, but I lean generally towards diets relatively low in carbohydrate and rich in fat. This is on the basis that such diets consistently out-perform diets explicitly low in fat in terms of weight loss. Also, such diets tend to, generally speaking, bring about desirable changes in [...] (Source: Dr John Biffa's Blog) Dr John Biffa's Blog blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=3542906 Fri, 07 May 2010 16:12:50 +0100 3542906 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3490909&cid=t_183449_167_f&fid=38576&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.drbriffa.com%2Fblog%2F2010%2F04%2F19%2Fmy-new-book-waist-disposal-now-available%2F My 7th book, Waist Disposal - the Ultimate Fat Loss Manual for Men, has recently been published. The title of this book is pretty self-explanatory. The book provides comprehensive nutritional advice (naturally) on how to achieve meaningful, sustainable weight loss, but also includes information on exercise and psychology too. Information about the book here can [...] (Source: Dr John Biffa's Blog) Dr John Biffa's Blog blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=3490909 Mon, 19 Apr 2010 21:41:03 +0100 3490909 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3335586&cid=t_183449_167_f&fid=38576&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.drbriffa.com%2Fblog%2F2010%2F03%2F05%2Fmy-personal-fat-loss-experience-and-forthcoming-book%2F I have since last June been undertaking a bit of a personal experiment. Over couple of years I’d found I’d somehow managed to accumulate some added fat to my midriff. At 43, I suppose ‘middle-aged’ spread might have had something to do with it. But also when I looked at my diet with as much [...] (Source: Dr John Biffa's Blog) Dr John Biffa's Blog blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=3335586 Fri, 05 Mar 2010 16:39:42 +0100 3335586 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=1455151&cid=t_183449_167_f&fid=36993&url=http%3A%2F%2Fblog.nakednutritionguide.com%2F08%2Fbreakfast-what-im-eating%2F Tell me Pleeeeeease Tell Me that you eat breakfast everyday. Breakfast is more important than your pre/postworkout shake….well may not more important but equally important. What percentage of your fat loss success hinges on eating breakfast? Honestly, I don’t know anyone that has gotten lean and didn’t eat breakfast (with the exception of a few wrestlers). So I would say it reduces their risk of success by almost 100%. I remember reading an interview with world famous nutritionist and author Marion Nestle (Food Politics and What to Eat) says that eating breakfast ISN’T that important and that she don’t alway eats breakfast because she’s not hungry in the morning. While if you really got down to the nitty gritty the physiological consequences of not eatin...

The trials compared 7 men performing either: 1) a 60 minute session of exercise once 2) a 30 minute session of exercise twice, separated by a 20 minute session of rest and 3) rest. The first 30 minutes of both exercise groups showed a significant increase in growth hormone, epinephrine and norepinephrine. However, in the interval session (30 minute sessions separated by 20 minutes of rest) the free fatty acids (FFA) levels rose significantly in the 20 minute rest period. During the subsequent 30-min exercise interval, FFA was significantly greater in the second interval training sessions than in the single 60 minute session. More importantly for us diabetics...
