Three Massive Studies

The Women’s Health Initiative (WHI)
 1991 - 48,835 postmenopausal women followed for 8 years
 Low Fat Group vs Control Group
 Only 0.4 kg of weight loss!
 (JAMA. 2006 Jan 4;295(1):39-49.)

Multiple Risk Factor Intervention Trial (MRFIT)
 1972 - 12,866 men at a high risk for CAD followed for 7 years
 All Placed on Low Fat Diets
 100% failure to reduce weight or CAD
 (JAMA. 1982;248(12):1465-1477.)

Action For Health in Diabetes (The Look AHEAD Study)
 2001 - Intensive Lifestyle Intervention in DM Type II – 5,145
patients
 Supposed to last 13.5 yrs – stopped at 9.6 yrs (wasn’t working)
 Intense Calorie restriction 1200-1800 cal /day
 Did loose weight (~6% of body weight lost)
 Didn’t live longer – Didn’t reduce CAD
 (N Engl J Med 2013; 369:145-154)

Grossly unsuccessful in decreasing obesity
 MRFIT - 1972

Cause of Obesity?
Cause of Obesity?
80-85% due to Insulin
Resistance
•
Defect in regulation of
fat metabolism
Defect causes imbalance
of energy distribution
• Insulin plays a primary
role
•
10-15% Due to Sedentary
Lifestyle
5-10% other Metabolic
Deficiencies
Impaired Insulin Secretion
1.
Diet high in sugar &
fat
• Impairs
GLUT-2 transport
• Reduces Insulin
Secretion
2.
High Cholesterol
•
•
Impaired Abca1

Insulin Resistance

Adipocyte Functions:
 Provide
cushion
 Provide Insulation
 Unlimited Ability to Store
Energy
 Regulate Energy Use, Appetite,
Metabolism & Inflammation by
releasing:
 Leptin,
adiponectin, plasminogen
activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1),
resistin, TNF-alpha, Interleukin-6,
estradiol (E2)

Weight Changes during 2 Years According to Diet Group.
Shai I et al. N Engl J Med 2008;359:229-241.
How Do I Use A Low Carb
Diet?
•Realistic Expectations
• 10-15% body weight
reduction in 3-6
months
•Goal Setting & Accountability
•Dietary Change is the Key
•Exercise
•Medication
•Supplementation
How Do I Use A Low Carb
Diet?
“Everything should be
made as simple as
possible, but no
simpler.”
Albert Einstein
Low Carbohydrate Diet
•Keep
carbohydrate intake very low
• < 20g per day for weight loss
• < 10-20g per meal for cholesterol reduction
• Closely monitored by your physician!
•High fat foods for hunger/appetite suppression
•High Fat sources:
• Meat, fish, poultry & eggs
• Legumes
• Cheese
• Nuts & Seeds
Low Carbohydrate Diet
•High
•
•
•
•

•
Fat Foods/Rescue Foods:
Bacon
Eggs
Hard Cheeses (Velveeta is not real cheese!)
Avocado
Grass Fed Red Meats / Pork
Fatty Fish
Butter
Heavy Cream
Almonds/Walnuts
Ketosis Killers
