Why do we need health supplements?

In 2001, we reported on a vitamin drain in Americas vegetables (Vegetables Without Vitamins, Life Extension, March 2001). What we found in our unofficial report is now official. The Journal of the American College of Nutrition has published new findings from University of Texas researchers showing diminished levels of six nutrients in vegetables and fruits.

According to the new report, levels of calcium, riboflavin, vitamin C, iron, potassium, and protein in vegetables and fruits have significantly declined since 1950. This finding holds up even after making numerous statistical adjustments to account for the losses. The report covers only a few common nutrients; potential declines in lesser-known nutrients like lycopene and zeaxanthin are unknown.

When asked about the apparent drain, commercial plant breeders refuse to comment, but clues have emerged as to why todays vegetables are not what they should be. It has to do with the way commercial growers do business.

From Food to CommodityTomatoes that resemble tennis balls, peppers that taste like small rocks, and big, red, flavorless strawberries are all a result of selective breeding for pith and water (pith is defined as the fibrous part of fruits and vegetables, such as the netting around orange sections that is usually discarded). Desirable traits for commercial growers who want produce to ship well, look good, and weigh a lot, but undesirable traits for consumers who buy produce as a source of nutrition. Plant jockeys call it the dilution effect more water and pith, less vitamin content.

The transformation of vegetables from food to commodity is well illustrated by the one people love to hate: broccoli. Broccoli is a terrific source of calcium, especially for people who dont drink milk. But the most prized commercial version of broccoli is a heavy, calcium/magnesium-deficient hybrid called Marathon. In research conducted by the US Department of Agriculture, Marathon is consistently about a third lower in calcium and magnesium than are other hybrids. And the hybrids themselves are about 50% lower in calcium than the broccoli listed in the 1998 USDA nutrient database2. It has been reported that the calcium and magnesium content in commercially grown broccoli sold in grocery stores can vary twofold.2

Prematurely Picked ProduceThe dilution effect is not the only thing causing problems in nutrient content. Most commercial fruit, including tomatoes, is picked green. Green fruit doesnt have a chance to sun-ripen; its artificially ripened with ethylene, a natural plant hormone. Ethylene is what causes tomatoes to turn pinkish. Produce deprived of sunlight doesnt have a chance to develop sunlight-related nutrients such as anthocyanins the flavonoids that make cherries red and grapes purple.3-5 Anthocyanins are plant sunscreens. When humans ingest them, they provide protection against DNA damage, brain cell deterioration, cancer, and more.6-8

Other plant vitamins can also be affected by premature picking. Researchers in Spain conducted an in-depth investigation of cherries ripening and found 14 different stages, during which the fruit turned from green to red.9 They concluded that for maximum nutrition, cherries should be picked at stage 12, way beyond the stage at which theyre harvested green by commercial growers. To illustrate how important the ripening process is, if cherries are picked at stage 8, their vitamin C content is half the amount it is if theyre picked at stage 14.9 Similarly, researchers at Oregon State University who studied blackberries discovered that green ones contain 74 mg of anthocyanins, compared to 317 mg in ripe ones (per 100 grams fresh weight).3 The same phenomenon occurs in other fruits as well.5

Polyphenols likewise have no chance to fully develop when produce is picked green, which is why green-picked produce is so tasteless. Besides having health benefits, polyphenols give produce its flavor.10 Tomatoes deprived of UVB sunlight can be drained of carotenoids and possess little antioxidant activity.11 Its suspected that the lack of folate in grocery store tomatoes is due to their being picked green.12

Other Factors Drain NutrientsBig, green, hybrid, inbred, watery produce is not the whole story, however. Theres more. Changing climates, commercial fertilizers, and changes in soil composition have also been identified as reasons for the vitamin drain in commercial produce. Increasing carbon dioxide levels are known to significantly diminish important trace minerals, including zinc.13

Synthetic fertilizer is another potential source of vitamin depletion. The vitamin C content of two types of organically grown oranges was higher than that of the same oranges grown with synthetic fertilizer. Its now possible to distinguish an organic orange from a conventionally grown orange by looking at factors related to fertilizer (though the difference is not great).14 Organically grown fruits and vegetables have been reported to have significantly more antioxidants, polyphenols, and enzymes than commercial produce.15-19 According to one report, organic fruits themselves have better antioxidant defenses.16

The commercial solution to disappearing vitamins is to manipulate vegetables and fruits genetically, inserting foreign genes to force them to produce more nutrients.20 Tomatoes, for example, have been forced to produce folate through this method. Such biofortification causes the tomatoes to produce compounds never before seen in plants.12 And they end up without PABA, a B-complex coenzyme that makes up part of folate. The solution for that is to douse the plants in PABA to make up for the loss and on it goes.12

The Value of SupplementsFor those who find the new, unregulated world of genetically manipulated, vitamin-less vegetables unpalatable or find that they dont care to eat vegetables that have absorbed up to 45 times the amount of pesticides in the soil, including DDT (which was banned decades ago but is still with us)21 high-quality, standardized supplements are one way of incorporating a standard amount of known nutrients in the diet.

Supplements are not a replacement for food, but they can give the less-than-stellar diet that extra edge. And they work. It has been estimated that a calcium supplement alone could keep more than 100,000 people out of the hospital and save $2.6 billion in medical expenses annually.22 Calcium is one of the disappearing minerals in vegetables.

If taken long enough, magnesium supplements could halve the number of colon and rectal cancer cases in women.23 And riboflavin, which has decreased 38% in commercial vegetables since 1950, could prevent a lot of cataracts.24

THE CHROMIUM-DEFICIENT WESTERN DIETChromium is a trace mineral that is essential for optimal health. Food sources of chromium include brewers yeast, whole grains, wheat germ, fruit, eggs, meat, and shellfish. Chromium deficiency is widespread in the United States due to mineral-depleted soils and over-reliance on refined and processed foods.25

Chromium is an essential component of glucose tolerance factor, which enhances insulin function and is essential for proper carbohydrate metabolism and blood sugar regulation. Insufficient chromium intake is associated with signs and symptoms similar to those seen in people with diabetes and cardiovascular diseases.26 Chromium helps to promote healthy glucose and lipid levels, even in healthy subjects, and may help promote fat loss and optimal body weight.26 Chromium supplementation improves serum glucose levels in both type I and type II diabetics.27 Dietary supplementation with chromium may help fill the void left by mineral-depleted soils and refined foods.

Weight loss as a symptom

Weight loss is often a matter of choice - we choose to change our diet and exercise habits to become more healthy. If there is a clear and healthy reason then weight loss is normal. However, it is also common to lose weight if you have a serious disease. For most serious diseases, there will usually be one or more other symptoms that develop well before any weight loss. The weight loss in these situations is explained and can often be expected.

However, occasionally, the first symptom to develop in some serious diseases is weight loss. Other symptoms usually develop at some point later. Also, some people with weight loss as a first symptom actually have one or more symptoms if they were questioned about them. But, they may not have been aware of the significance of the other symptoms. For example, weight loss is a common symptom of untreated type 2 diabetes. Some people may see a doctor to say that they have lost weight and don't know why. A doctor may then ask if they have been passing more urine than usual (a typical symptom of diabetes). To this question the person may say something like "now you mention it, yes I have. But I had just put that down to my ageing prostate gland and not thought much about it."

The rest of this article lists some of the more common conditions where weight loss is sometimes the first symptom noticed by the person, relative or friend. It does not relate to people who are dieting or exercising to lose weight deliberately. The list is not exhaustive.

In the vast majority of cases of cancer, other symptoms will develop before any weight loss. There are many symptoms that can occur, depending on the type and site of the cancer. However, occasionally, weight loss is the first symptom noticed. The weight loss is partly due to the increased activity of cancer cells in the body that require nutrition. (Weight loss in more advanced cancer is due to various combined factors.)

Type 2 diabetes occurs mainly in people aged over 40 although it can occur at younger ages. The four common symptoms are being thirsty a lot of the time, passing large amounts of urine, tiredness and weight loss. Some people pass off the first three symptoms to do with other things, or 'getting older'. So, weight loss is sometimes the first thing reported to a doctor. The weight loss is partly due to the sugar (glucose) that is passed out with the urine.

Depression has a number of symptoms. However, some people do not recognise that they have depression. They may feel low and not right but cannot say why. They may even think of it as just normal for them. Many people with depression can hide their true feelings from friends and family. Weight loss may develop due to not eating much. It is sometimes friends or family who may actually notice that a person has lost weight and it then turns out to be due to depression.

Some people who drink a lot of alcohol do not look after themselves very well. Their diet may not be very good and they may lose weight. However, they may be in denial about an alcohol problem. It may be friends or family who actually notice that the person has lost weight. Indeed, this is a way that a hidden alcohol problem in some people comes to light. Family and friends may show concern about weight loss and not be aware that the person has an alcohol problem.

Hyperthyroidism means that you make too much of a hormone called thyroxine. The extra thyroxine causes many of your body's functions to speed up. There are lots of possible symptoms such as:

Another typical symptom is losing weight despite an increased appetite. This may be a first symptom. But, again, some of the other symptoms that may occur such as being restless, nervous, emotional or irritable may just be put down to a stressful time of life or to your personality. In the early stages of hyperthyroidism some people actually feel well and full of energy and don't realise they have a problem but lose weight.

It would be unusual not to have other symptoms with a chronic infection. But, occasionally, the first symptom that is noticed with infections such as tuberculosis or HIV is weight loss. Hookworm infection of the gut is another example where weight loss may be the first indication of disease. Hookworm is a very common problem worldwide (but rare in the UK). Likewise, there are various conditions that cause persistent inflammation of a part or parts of the body. Again, other symptoms would be usual. But, sometimes an inflammatory condition such as polymyalgia rheumatica may just make you feel unwell and lose weight prior to other symptoms developing.

There are various diseases that can affect the way food is absorbed and taken into the body from the gut. These would normally cause symptoms such as diarrhoea. However, weight loss may be the first symptom noticed. Examples include coeliac disease, Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.

People in the early stages of dementia may appear to get by reasonably well but, in fact, they are not able to look after themselves very well. They may have a poor diet but appear happy in themselves. Again, it is sometimes friends or family who may first notice that a person is not right and has lost weight and it then turns out to be the early stages of dementia.

In conditions such as anorexia, a person usually knows they are tightly controlling their diet and exercise and are actively trying to lose weight. However, this may be hidden from friends and family and may not be divulged even to the doctor.

Sometimes medication may cause side-effects resulting in weight loss. For example, some pills may cause a loss of appetite, or a dry mouth. Some cause heartburn or give a mild tummy discomfort. Others may affect the sense of taste or smell, or make people feel sick. Any of these side-effects could affect eating habits and result in a loss of weight.

If you have lost weight and do not know why then see a doctor. This is because, as a general rule, the earlier a serious problem is diagnosed, the better the chance that treatment may improve the outlook (prognosis).

Your doctor is likely to ask various questions. He or she may actually uncover other symptoms that you were either unaware of or did not think were significant. He or she may also examine you. Tests, such as blood tests, may or may not be appropriate. Following a doctor's assessment, the likely cause may be clear and your doctor will advise on what to do next.

The treatment depends on the cause. See individual leaflets on the various diseases that can cause weight loss.

Weight Loss. Information on unintended weight loss - Patient

So, lets get one thing straight.

I was the biggest skeptic about diet in literally the entire world.

Trust me, Ive tried my fair share of diets just like everyone else

Theres one thing that always stood out to me.

Its not that most diets are completely junk.

Many have promise, and give you some results

In fact, Id say they can be very effective,

But the juice isnt worth the squeeze (even if youre on a juice diet).

The Wheel of Monotony.

Does this pattern sound familiar?

Start a new diet with starry eyes and high hopes

Struggle to eat the new food, feel worse but stay the course.

Frustration sets in because of restriction and lowered energy.

Affects social life and ability to go out.

Hit a boiling point and quit.

This is exactly what would happen to me Every. Single. Time. I tried a new diet.

These diets just werent worth the headache of meal prep, food restriction and overall willpower required.

Most of the time, I was just trying to lose a few quick pounds for the summer month or show up to a friends wedding in a trimmer state.

I didnt need a lifestyle adjustment, but thats what it felt like.

So I started to think thats as good as it got, until I stumbled upon the 2 Week Diet.

Trust me, I rolled my eyes about as hard as a human being possibly can.

It explained that slow, torturous weight loss isnt the only way, and that you can lose weight fast and safely.

Again, eye roll. It was only when I read a little further about why its different that my ears perked up a bit.

It explained how theres many scientific reasons why most diets arent that efficient or effective.

It even promised losing weight fast, easily and without hating yourself during the process.

I was as skeptical as ever, but I thought Theres a money-back guarantee, what do I have to lose?

And boy, was I glad I took a chance.

Im down two dress sizes and 14 pounds in two weeks!

Thats amazing to me. Most diets had me struggling to lose 5 pounds in that same time.

Even more amazing?

Thats on the low end of results. People are reporting greater results than that!

Now, you might be thinking, That sounds great, but what food. Were you allowed to eat anything?

Thankfully, this diet was not rice cakes and air.

There was real, satisfying food! I never felt seriously deprived or hungry the entire time.

Skeptic to Believer.

Ive never had my mind changed so quick in my life.

I thought that diets ALWAYS had to be hard and arduous.

This was the first time in my life that a diet was fast, easy and fun.

Im actually thinking about doing the diet again to get a head start on a spring/summer bod.

For those whove tried everything, I feel your pain. Ive been in your shoes. I was as unable to follow slow diets as anyone.

This is different.

You finally get quick results youll love. Youll finally be able to follow the steps.

Itll finally be worth it.

Sign up below and give it a shot. You wont regret it. Dont forget, you get a full money-back guarantee.

Theres nothing to lose, except the unwanted fat of course!

TruBalance has been an opportunity for me to change not only what I eat but the way I think about what I eat.

I am 65 years old. I have had a weight problem since I was seven years old and had my tonsils out. It left a hole I needed to fill. I have been on Weight Watchers so many times I should have a lifetime membership from persistence. Ive done Physicians Weight Loss, Nutrisystem, the program at Baptist Hospital, Jenny Craig, and tried it on my own.

All of these programs have a few things in common:

TruBalance is the only program I have used that explains the whys of eating the way they suggest. They have never told me to eat more to lose weight. My coach, Megan Rochell, has always been supportive and, most importantly, non judgmental.

This program doesnt say you have to eat every two to three hours to keep your metabolism up. For the first time I dont constantly think about food. I never think about how long it has been since I ate and what am I going to eat now to keep my metabolism up so I wont gain weight.

TruBalance has shown me that the way the food is produced is as important as what I eat. It has given me the information I need to choose my food intelligently. It has given me the knowledge to become very picky about what I eat. I have found I am eating more organic and experimenting with seasonings. I am looking at more than just how many calories are in the food.

TruBalance has given me the opportunity to change things in my life. I no longer have high blood pressure after being on medication for decades. I have changed my Coke Zero addiction to an addiction to water. Most importantly, to me anyway, is I no longer suffer from the I have to have something to eat now syndrome. TruBalance has given me the chance to relax and enjoy life.

The ketogenic diet is all anyone can talk about latelybut its not exactly new. The keto model is similar to the Atkins diet of the early 2000s, but focuses more heavily on carb restriction. When you go keto, 60 to 80 percent of you diet is composed of fat, 10 to 15 percent comes from protein, and less than 10 percent is made up of carbs.

Heres the thing: Keto is extremely restrictive, which automatically means it wont work for everyone. But if you can stick with it, you should go into in a ketogenic state, which will theoretically force your body to run on fat rather than glucose (a type of sugar found in carbs), helping your burn fat by default.

Plus, as the Reddit user noted, youre forced to eat a limited number of foods, which means you have less of any opportunity to rely on unhealthy options. Plus, you cant really eat carbs, so you will immediately eliminate refined carbs, like sugar cereals and packaged snacks, which can help you reduce your calories.

Heres everything you need to know about keto before you try it, including three tips that will prime you for success. This ketogenic diet meal plan will serve some recipe inspiration, too.

"The key to staying motivated to lose weight is similar to the [amount of] fuel in a caryou don't need the motivation tank to be full to drive, you just need to prevent it from running empty," says Joshua C. Klapow, Ph.D., a clinical psychologist at the University of Alabama at Birmingham and author of Living SMART: 5 Essential Skills to Change Your Health Habits Forever. "I tell people not to waste precious time and energy on staying highly motivated because motivation has a natural rhythm. Most people see a drop in motivation as a signal of failure, but it's not," he says.

If you notice that your weight loss motivation is waning, give yourself a break from your diet or exercise plan for one to three days, Klapow says. "The problem with motivation is that the more people try to catch' it, the more elusive it becomes; by allowing it to run its natural course and at the same time having a set of habit-changing skills (such as a meal plan for the week), you'll stay on track and your motivation levels will run their natural course."

I love food and I love eating. But, I dont love dieting. Although I have always been a mostly healthy eater, Im not one to turn down a piece of birthday cake or a glass of wine during cocktail hour. But indulging a little too much and a little too often resulted in a slow gain of 25 pounds by my early 20s.

When I was younger, Id managed to maintain my weight of 130 pounds by being active. I belonged to the dance team and played intramural sports, so it wasnt difficult for me to motivate myself to exercise. After college, I started a desk job, and with that came long hours, pizza lunches, and plenty of happy hours. I continued to exercise almost every day, but it wasnt enoughand my weight climbed to 153 pounds, which was too much for my 5-foot-4-inch frame.

I wasnt happy at my heaviest, but I wasnt really motivated to do anything about it until a ski trip with friends in 2004 put things in perspective. The vacation was a blast, but I quickly lost my getaway glow when I saw photos from our trip. Looking at the physical proof, I was embarrassed by how much weight I had gained. Every photo was a bad photo of me. I was so depressed that I threw most of them away.

Soon after the ski trip, I left my desk job to pursue graduate school and took a part-time job working at the front desk of an upscale health club. One of the perks was a free membership, which was the motivation I needed to take control of my weight. I started exercising at the health club most mornings, taking Body Pump and spinning classes on a regular basis. Finding workout buddies helped too. I made some new friends who were avid runners and I began training for and participating in road races with them.

Even though I was burning plenty of calories through exercise, I knew my eating habits were preventing me from losing weight. I wasnt eating unhealthy foodsI stuck with salads, turkey sandwiches, and stir-fry dishesI was just eating too much of everything. I started tracking my daily calories online at fitday.com. Counting calories really helped me understand my overblown portion sizes and just how many calories I was consuming.

Almost a year and a half later, in the summer of 2006, I finally reached my goal weight of 130 pounds. My weight loss didnt happen overnightin fact it took a pretty long timebut that was because I wasnt dieting. Through trial and error and figuring out what worked best for me, I made lifestyle changes, which have stuck with me to today. For example, I almost always have oatmeal with nut butter and a piece of fruit for breakfast. It helps set a healthy tone for my whole day, plus it keeps me full until lunchtime.

Now Im committed to maintaining my weight without missing out on any fun, like birthday celebrations or nights out with friends, which is the main philosophy behind Carrots N Cake. Hopefully, my tips and tricks are helpful to you and youll share some of your own secrets and successes with me too.

July 2015 How I lost the baby weight in 4 months

Make an appointment to exercise

Every Sunday I jot down my exercise goals on my Google calendar. Sometimes last-minute plans get in the way, but I generally stick to my schedule once Ive put it in ink.

Count caloriesat least in the beginning

I didnt realize just how many calories I was consuming, so tracking what I ate helped keep me aware of what I was putting in my mouth. I dont count calories anymore, but I track what I eat (and when I exercise) on my blog, which keeps me accountable.

Eat fresh fruit with breakfast

Its such a small thing to do, but it sets a healthy tone for my whole day. Plus, fruit is low in calories and good for you!

Reduce portion sizes

This might seem like a duh tip, but just eating less of my usual servings helped me lose weight.

Read a lot of health and fitness magazines

These types of magazines are constant motivation and keep healthy eating and fitness interesting, especially when I really dont want to get on the elliptical! Plus, I get tons of a great ideas for meals and workouts from them.

Meal plan

Every Sunday I sit down and plan a weeks worth of meals. I almost always make my own lunch, which means I have more control over how many calories are in my meal. Im also able to save money by making sure I use up all of my fresh produce.

Keep truckin

Maintaining my weight is all about balance. If I overindulge at a weekend barbecue or mindlessly munch throughout the afternoon, I dont throw in the towel. I make sure my next meal is healthy and move on.
