Book SynopsisFad diets have influenced our society for hundreds of years. While they are heterogeneous in nature, they make many of the same promises: weight loss, fat burning, muscle building, flatter stomachs, improved gut health, clearer skin, and protection of animal rights and the environment. Not only are fad diets usually ineffective, they are often highly restrictive and associated with significant health risks. Furthermore, the practice of fad dieting dramatically increases one’s risk of developing malnutrition and/or an eating disorder. Adolescence is a period of rapid physical and socioemotional growth during which young people become more vulnerable to poor body image and low self-esteem, which may make adolescents particularly likely to adopt fad diets. However, the nutritional risk incurred could result in serious and potentially permanent impairment of physical and psychosocial development. This book provides an overview of fad diets through the ages, highlighting what all fad diets have in common and how to recognize a fad diet. Readers will learn what science tells us about nutritional needs during adolescence for normal physical, cognitive, and socioemotional development, and the risks that may be incurred if a fad diet prevents an adolescent from meeting these needs. This book examines why adolescents may be particularly prone to fad dieting and why they may also have more to lose if they adopt them. Readers will explore factors that shape adolescent diet culture. This book makes specific recommendations for caring adults in the lives of adolescents, including interdisciplinary health care providers, teachers, coaches, trainers, parents and other caregivers, to steer adolescents away from fad diets and towards healthier alternatives for achieving their goals. The initial chapters are didactic chapters that outline core material. Subsequent chapters use illustrative case examples to teach the reader how to screen adolescents for fad dieting, listen to the concerns that attracted them to the diet, engage them in a discussion about their goals, and collaborate with them to find a healthier path. All chapters conclude with discussion questions for further reflection.Table of ContentsWhat are Fad Diets and How Might They Harm Adolescents? - Prevalence and epidemiology of adolescent dieting - Why do adolescents diet? - What are the consequences of dieting? - How can you identify a fad diet? - What do fad diets promise? - What are the risks of fad diets? Fad Diets through the Ages - Descriptions of different fad diets and categories of fad diets – liquid diets, micronutrient fads, one magic food, one evil food, non-food substances - Historical origins - Associated risks - Purported benefits - Fad diets change over time, but what do they all have in common? Adolescent Diet Culture: Where Does It Come From? - Adolescence: a vulnerable developmental stage - Media influences - Family influences - Peer influences - Corporate influences - Weight stigma/bias - Poor-quality, inadequate, or inconsistent nutritional messaging from clinicians, schools, coaches/trainers, public health platforms An Overview of Recommendations for Food, Fluid, and Activity in Adolescents What Can We Do? - Clinicians: Screen, Listen, Engage, Collaborate - Motivational Interviewing - Educators: use accurate resources, do NOT use BMI report cards or perform mandatory weigh-ins ; coordinate with health care providers. - Provide information that adolescents and caregivers can use for effective decision-making - Coaches and trainers: never suggest diets to adolescents, and never normalize amenorrhea. - YOU ARE A ROLE MODEL: don’t adopt fad diets yourself and do not suggest them to patients. - Working with caregivers and shaping family culture around food and physical activity Healthy Alternatives to Fad Diets: The Total Diet Approach Fad Diets among Special Populations of Adolescents · Athletes · Youth in the performing arts · LGBTQ+ youth · Youth with autism Clinical Cases

Book SynopsisEvery human function requires energy, and no organ more so than the brain which accounts for only 2% of body weight but consumes 20% of total body energy production. Without a sufficient energy supply we lose the ability to think clearly, react quickly or make good decisions. In Honey Sapiens, pharmacist Mike McInnes explores human energy metabolism and how this is affected negatively by refined sugars and positively by honey. In particular, his more than 20 years of research into sports nutrition have shown him the central importance of the little-known enzyme glutamine synthetase and how this is degraded by refined sugars, a key factor in memory loss, dementia and neurocognitive problems in the young and old and in utero. Drawing on an internationally diverse range of published findings, often ignored in English-speaking countries, he explains this causal pattern and the solutions, including the unrivalled part honey and the bioflavonoids it contains can play in supporting brain function long-term and protecting it from refined sugar degradation.Table of ContentsIntroduction; Sugars - the ugly, the bad and the good; The sugar sickness syndromes - how did we get here? Glutamine synthetase - the engine of cognition, communication and language; Oxidising glutamine synthetase, the enzyme of human cognition; Sugar sickness syndrome #1: Obesity; Sugar sickness syndrome #2: Type 2 diabetes; Sugar sickness syndrome #3: Alzheimer's disease; Sugar sickness syndrome #0: Autism spectrum disorders; Honey and its bioflavonoids; Notes and annotated references

Book SynopsisAn acclaimed surgeon specializing in weight loss delivers a paradigm-shifting examination of the diet and health industry’s focus on protein, explaining why it is detrimental to our health, and can prevent us from losing weight.Whether you are seeing a doctor, nutritionist, or a trainer, all of them advise to eat more protein. Foods, drinks, and supplements are loaded with extra protein. Many people use protein for weight control, to gain or lose pounds, while others believe it gives them more energy and is essential for a longer, healthier life. Now, Dr. Garth Davis, an expert in weight loss asks, “Is all this protein making us healthier?”The answer, he emphatically argues, is NO. Too much protein is actually making us sick, fat, and tired, according to Dr. Davis. If you are getting adequate calories in your diet, there is no such thing as protein deficiency. The healthiest countries in the world eat far less protein than we do and yet we have an entire nation on a protein binge getting sicker by the day.As a surgeon treating obese patients, Dr. Davis was frustrated by the ever-increasing number of sick and overweight patients, but it wasn't until his own health scare that he realized he could do something about it. Combining cutting-edge research, with his hands-on patient experience and his years dedicated to analyzing studies of the world’s longest-lived populations, this explosive, groundbreaking book reveals the truth about the dangers of protein and shares a proven approach to weight loss, health, and longevity.Trade Review"Exhaustively researched and fascinating." -- Publishers Weekly "A groundbreaking book from one of America's leading physicians, Proteinaholic will revolutionize your understanding of your body and how to keep it healthy.

Protein deficiency is unknown on any natural diet; protein poisoning is epidemic worldwide." -- John McDougall, MD, founder of the McDougall Program "Proteinaholic hits the nail on the head.
