9. Prefight Weigh In
Diets are like religions
• everyone thinks theirs is the right one and the
only one
• Everyone wants to convert you to theirs
• At their core, you’re usually getting a pretty
similar message
• Do some learning, see what fits, and make an
informed decision that works best for you

10. Gluten Free Diet 1

11. Gluten
• What is it?
• Gluten is a storage protein in the seed or
kernel
• Supplies needs of the seed when it begins to
grow
• Composed of 2 smaller proteins
– Glutelins
– Gliadins

12. Role In Food
• Acts as a “glue” in food
• Becomes sticky when flour is mixed with
water
• Main Functions:
– Helps dough rise
– Ensures product keeps its shape
– Thickens cooking liquids, such as gravy

13. Where is it Found?
 Found in wheat and other grains
 WBRO: Wheat Barley Rye Oat (Celiac Sprue
Association)
 Wheat is genetically modified
 Removes nutrients
 Increases gluten content
 Constitutes ~80% of proteins in wheat
 Gluten flour made by “washing out” starch and bran
 Seitan = 100% gluten flour

14. Why Can it Be Dangerous?
• Body doesn’t recognize it as “safe to pass”
• Poorly digested → becomes toxic
• Immune system reacts pathologically,
producing inflammation
• Gluten destroys healthy tissue through
molecular mimicry, or cross-reaction

15. Leaky Gut Syndrome
• Increased permeability of small intestine lining

16. Benefits of GF
• Reduce consumption of chemicals and artificial
flavors
• Eliminate unhealthy foods
• Increasing more fruits and veggies
• Improved digestion
• Increased energy
• May aid in weight loss
• May reduce risk of some illnesses
• May lower symptoms of some illnesses

17. Disadvantages / Cautions
• Does not r/o additional food intolerances
• Caution when reading labels
• Replacing gluten with other products
• Possible nutrient deficiency
• Excess fat intake
• Do be aware of cross-contamination
• Don’t be deceived by other names
• Hydrolyzed vegetable protein, “natural flavoring”

18. The Paleo Diet

19. The Concept
• Our DNA is the same as it was 10,000 yrs ago
• Paleolithic man had no dairy, grains, refined
sugars, fatted meats
• Eat the foods we were designed to consume
• Much higher in protein than the “SAD” diet,
much lower in carbs

20. The Ground Rules
• Unlimited:
– Lean Meats, Fish, Seafood
– Fruits, Non-starchy vegetables
• Include:
– Plant oils
– Nuts
– Honey
• None of These:
– Cereals
– Any Grains or legumes
– No Dairy
– No processed foods or sugars

21. The Upside
• Bottom line: They eat a heck of a lot better
than even the best “SAD” Dieter
• Lower Carbs + High Intensity Exercise =
Glycogen Depletion (3-10# water loss)
• Simple Rules = Less Difficult to Follow
• If all I can eat is fruits and veggies… I’m going
to eat a ton of fruits and veggies!

22. Concerns
• No Quinoa? No Beans? No Peas? Really?
• Sustainability / Relapse

23. The Anti-inflammatory Diet

24. You probably know this….
• Foods hurt by causing release of stress
hormone
• Foods hurt by carrying pesticide
• Foods hurt by carrying bad DNA
• Foods hurt by “accelerating” inflammation

25. You probably didn’t know this…
• Some foods release relaxation hormone
• Some foods help DNA do it’s job
• Some foods “accelerate” healing
• Some foods “reverse” disease (due to SAD deficiencies)
(The basis to Anti-inflammatory eating is …
…take in nutrition that speeds up healing)

26. Foods that Hurt
Date of lecture 4/6/13

27. Use Food as Thy Medicine
(Foods that Heal)
• Whole Food
• Mostly plant based
• Fat in the form of Oil (Omega 3)
• Limit Red Meat
• Limit Dairy
• Increase Fiber
Just consider the idea of fiber and look what
my average day consists of….

28. Breakfast
or
5grams
5grams

29. Lunch
8 grams
8 grams
8 grams

30. Snack
2 grams
2-3 grams 2-3 grams
5 grams – usually at night

31. Dinner
From 4-8 grams
…so the total amount of fiber for and average male
American is 35grams daily, I just showed you
44grams and it just happened to be anti cancer,
anti heart attack, anti diabetes choices as well!

32. Anti-inflammatory summary
• Whole Food • Less Chemicals
• Mostly plant based • Less Cholesterol
• Fat in the form of Oil • Less Emotional Lability
• Limit Red Meat • Less Indigestion
• Limit Dairy • Less Rash/Sinus/Cough
• Increase Fiber • Less Constipation

33. Your winner?
All attempts at healthy change are winners

34. In Summary
• The only studied eating style to help with
longevity has been the Mediterranean Diet
(Lyon Heart Study)
• Sustainability of any change depends on
individual planning (not everyone can “flip over” cold turkey)
• Reliable Information, Practical Application,
Coaching/Obligation creates success

35. Not reliable!

36. FHA Reliable!
We didn’t invent the practice of medicine….
we’re just changing the way it’s provided.

37. Food is a Drug
The Body is a Chemistry Lab
• Everything you eat causes a reaction in the
body
• What and how much determines what
reaction occurs
• Be particular, but not obsessive about what
you eat
We didn’t invent the practice of medicine….
we’re just changing the way it’s provided.
