I do not think the Atkins diet, get plenty of respect for community nutrition unless the improvement in rates of heart attack or the accumulation of cholesterol plaques in the heart appear in carefully designed studies. I would like to see funding for these studies, but I do not know none yet.

People should get individual advice to each as possible, to reflect the food preferences specific medical conditions, and lifestyle issues. However, as a measure of public health in general, I think the government should provide generic guidelines based on expert consensus scientific evidence.
Dr. Dansinger holds several academic positions. What is the Clinical Nutrition and Obesity Editor for WebMD academic journals (MedGenMed) is an assistant professor at Tufts University School of Medicine, Boston, is a scientist at the Nutrition Research Center USDA, and is a member of the Division Endocrinology at Tufts-New England Medical Center.

Their meta-analysis published "The effect of advice diet to lose weight "(July 2007) has also received media attention and praise the first scientific study to specify the amount and duration the resulting weight loss program of lifestyle based on diet.

1. Please welcome the Body Talk "Today, Tufts University professor of medicine Michael Dansinger.

There are so many things I want to speak today, Dr. Dansinger because his is a voice to be heard by those who can make changes in dietary recommendations that come of our government. And indeed, you had the opportunity to do just that with a congressional report on how the incentives for people to begin a plan of loss organized weight would eventually save money on costs of health care in the long term. Share with listeners about what was in that report.

First all I want to thank you for interviewing me, and we congratulate him for his dedication to improving public health. The report, prepared at the request of the U.S. government was entitled "The profitability of behavioral weight loss programs for the elderly." My co-authors of Tufts and I presented this report in 2004 after to investigate this subject for a year.

The report concluded that lifestyle-based weight loss programs for obese elderly population may improve the health of a relatively low. The results could be used to support government subsidies or funding for these programs. The report also noted disturbing lack Food and studies to improve the lives of the elderly population.

2. You are a great believer, like me, there are individualized plans to lose weight and improve health are different for each method and each person can "keep" is the key to solving the obesity crisis, we in. While one person can do very well in a low-fat diet and eat this way forever, someone else may be that the lifestyle is more compatible low-carb for them. Find the plan that suits you, I always say.

If this is true, where is the disconnect of the line of communication between Our country and government health officials and the public seeking advice overweight? How and why low-fat diet become the focus in almost every government has approved the recommendations of nutritional whole low-carb diet is simply ignored and scorned?

I agree that the approach low-carb has been unfairly dismissed by nutrition experts, simply because I believe that counter-intuitive. They must have known 30 years ago had more be gained by studying this approach by rejecting it.

My fear is that health professionals continue to dismiss, despite the consistent accumulation of data showing equal or greater improvements Excess body fat and the risk factors for heart disease. I think the authorities are blinded by the alternatives to mass inertia that supports the standard approach.

3. In 2005, he became a household name, and has appeared on numerous television, radio, newspapers, magazines and the principal investigator in the famous popular Tufts test diet published in the Journal of American Medical Association (JAMA) which compared the Atkins, Zone, the Weight Watchers and Ornish diets for weight loss and prevention of heart disease.

We conducted a monumental study, because the Atkins diet low in carbohydrates has been placed on the head to head match-up with traditional diets like low-fat Ornish and Weight Watchers and found little Livin La Vida 'on carbohydrate is the best way to lose weight over a period of six months and at least as effective as low fat to lose weight after one year.

You see of the scope of its investigation and the potential impact it could have on health policy in the future and obesity in the United States at that time? Have you seen all the changes proposed or implemented by government agencies such as FDA or USDA happened in direct response to the results of the study?

Our test's power people confirmed what others had found before us that diets low in carbohydrates may reduce the weight of the favorable effects on levels cholesterol and other cardiovascular risk factors. More importantly, he emphasized the fact that compliance with a high level food is the key to profits health, regardless of the type of diet.

With the publication of our study, I think been a bit more open about the popular food diversity nutrition policy-makers. Meanwhile, the former USDA food pyramid emphasizing starchy foods has been reviewed depth, with a decline in the U.S. as a staple food grain. This new pyramid was released a few months after our study was published, and I think this is the Government's main response to the criticism of the approach of high carbohydrate and low in fat.

4. We recently saw another picture of media attention Atkins low-carb diet when a one-year study published in JAMA at Stanford in March 2007 revealed that the low-carb diet exceeded diets traditional lower-fat weight loss and improves risk factors for health in another head-to-head Matchup.

Now is the largest randomized trial of the popular diet to date and supplements many of the conclusions of his study. With so much evidence began to mount in favor of low-carb as a sustainable approach to food for at least a year, why Why have not government health agencies such as the National Institutes of Health calls for more extensive studies of long-term research that was conducted this way eating for weight and health? How long does a study to be legitimate to be an indicator of "long term" success?

The Government has funded Recently a variety of studies of diets low in carbohydrates and moderate. I think
5. I personally intrigued by something that is working on regarding USDA food pyramid, recommended celebrities. Although it has been considered the "Holy Grail", which should provide a healthy diet, which is working in the creation of several versions that are tailored for each person.

If we all respond to different nutritional plans in different ways, so why the government or anyone else outside a nutritionist professional education in a wide range of diet plans that met face to face with a patient, even trying to do universal tips for weight loss and health? Why not recommend low-carb alongside low-fat?

The food pyramid is USDA format most widely recognized for their advice, and it is therefore important to determine the health effects of the food pyramid, and evaluate designs Replacement for improvement.

If the USDA food pyramid is also amended to replace starches with vegetables, fruits and proteins, would be treated more effective against obesity and risk factors for heart disease? I work with the center of the USDA nutrition research at Tufts answer this question in 200 obese adults who will aim to follow the pyramid is in progress or low starch pyramid for a year.

6. The American Heart Association (AHA) revised its dietary guidelines last year to take into account some of the principles that the last great Dr. Robert C. Atkins contributed to the forefront. But as my fellow blogger Regina Wilshire was noticed before and he said, is impossible to create a menu with a value of meals a day to follow the AHA recommendations under 7 percent of saturated fat and at the same time meet all the requirements of essential nutrients for fatty acids, amino acids, vitamins, minerals and trace elements.

In fact, yet there have been some examples of menus to meet the demands of his own diet plan. In making recommendations that are not based on evidence or proof, not of the AHA, USDA and FDA, among others, just to confuse the issue of obesity, people like you are trying to solve?

Maybe you're a little too drive in the standard approach. I think the real culprit is the obesogenic environment, not necessarily the moderate-fat diet promoted by the government. This approach is based diet evidence if followed scientific efficiency, and can provide all essential nutrients.

Unfortunately, all strategies are difficult food for most people to maintain long term. We must find better ways to help people stick to their plans they want to continue. Embracing a wide range of strategies food, and learn how to match the plans according to individual needs are important priorities in our efforts to improve public health.

We can not afford to reject the moderate-fat approach, nor can we afford to reject the low-carbohydrate, moderate approach carbohydrate low fat content.

7. As we look to the future of scientific research on whether diets low in carbohydrates can be used as a way to lose weight long term, as a preventive measure such as heart problems and diabetes, you see what is happening so soon? What is permanent how to prevent this type of research badly needs to occur and there is nothing you can do for those of us who support the way they live in low carbohydrate to help persuade the people funding these studies is a worthwhile effort?

Various political forces determine the amount of government money for research nutrition. In addition, several charitable foundations (like the Atkins Foundation) provide significant amounts of money for research in nutrition.

In most cases, experienced nutrition scientists submit research grant proposals, which are in turn evaluated by scientists experience in terms of scientific merit and potential for improving public health. Low-carb is a hot topic in the diet, and there is a clear desire dedicate a portion of the money available to well-designed studies of low-carbohydrate regimes.

The total amount of money available for nutrition and obesity studies is limited, and is the main factor limiting the availability of more definitive studies of diets low in carbohydrates. charitable foundations and leaders Congress can make the greatest impact on the amount of money available for nutrition and obesity research.

Those who want to see more studies may supporting charitable foundations and congressional leaders with an interest in this research.

8. Speaking of commendable initiative, many people do not realize that you are a consultant on the NBC reality television weight loss show "The Biggest Loser." I am a strong supporter of the work in this program to change the lives of candidates ever.

One thing I noticed if, among those who were more successful in this program is that they seem to lose weight after a change of lifestyle in carbohydrates. Ryan Benson, Matt Hoover, and, more recently, Erik Chopin all the success experienced significant weight loss three digits, due to poor nutrition and carbohydrates you nutrition team in "The Biggest Loser" to them.

Why not the viewers at home be told what kind of diet plan is used with each participant? Could be useful for fans of the series loss for advice weight was Livin 'La Vida Low Carb has resulted in improvements in weight and health?

I really appreciated the opportunity to work with the program because I think he can offer the public one week reminder of the power of change in lifestyle. Trainers and nutrition team members agree that a carbureted, foods with moderate fat, high-protein strategy would be the best starting point. Each candidate modified this general approach based on your preferences.

"The biggest Loser "books and cookbooks each discuss the diet plan in detail and provide recipes. Many winners have insisted on very low carbohydrate, at times, and focused on lean protein and vegetables low in carbohydrates, but many have reduced calories and losing weight without being too restrictive in carbohydrates. I agree that could benefit viewers learn more about what each candidate is to eat.

9. Speaking of competitors, how some of the participants between season 1 and 2 at this time? The long-term success of any diet program is determined by whether the person meets the strict concepts of short-term plan or transitions in the election of new life in a permanent form of eating and living. Are there any notable examples, such as Kelly Minner (another who has lost weight low carb), which continued to maintain weight years later?

I think the competitors have done better than some might expect, given how difficult it is to lose weight in the world today. We expected some to hold the most weight, and some find the majority of weight loss, depending on the capacity of each individual adhere to the principles they have learned while living in an optimal environment for exercise.

Well that almost every candidate has continued to lose weight for several months at home, I think a very important predictor of long-term success as it is able to reorganize their lives according to the time required for the exercise and prepare healthy foods. An excellent example is Matt Hoover, who kept most of his weight loss of 157 pounds from November 2005 through the exercise almost every day LA and Life Livin 'Low Carb.

10. On behalf of my faithful readers who have been visiting my blog every day new information about diet and health, allow me to say THANK YOU, Dr. Dansinger to be prepared to challenge the status quo in the great debate on obesity. It is a noble direction and we need more leaders theme as you are willing to stand up and tell the truth rather than simply regurgitate the same messages that on several occasions.

Do you have something positive to share with is overweight or obese person reading this interview and success can encourage weight loss?

Jimmy, my thanks to you and your readers to stimulate interest and public debate on nutrition issues. Despite the seriously undermine the obesity epidemic has become, I am optimistic that things can change in the future.

I want to remind physicians and other health professionals that changing lifestyle is one of our most powerful treatments and preventive measures for diseases chronic, and our enthusiasm in examining these issues with our patients is crucial.

And for the obese person reading this, you know you will succeed once you decide you do not give up! I wish you all good health for many years to come!
