With Points + Lines: Diagrams and Projects for the City, influential architect and theorist Stan Allen proposes a series of new architectural strategies for the contemporary city. Organized in the form of a user s manual, it juxtaposes texts outlining Allen s theoretical principles with his projects, in which those principles are demonstrated in practice. Finding inspiration in the artistic minimalism and postminimalism of the 1970s, Allen uses the city s vitality and infrastructure to support projects that reflect and augment the urban experience. Included in this volume are three essays by Allen along with six projects, including his designs for the Cardiff Bay Opera House in Wales, the Museo del Prado in Madrid, the Souks of Beirut, the Logistical Activities Zone of Barcelona, the Korean-American Museum of Art in Los Angeles, and the National Diet Library in Kansai Kan, Japan. Allen s work is introduced by K. Michael Hays; R.E. Somol provides an afterword. In addition, the book contains a complete, ill…
Why have so many consumers chosen Atkins or the South Beach Diet? How has the decision-making eating affected their choice?
Due to the success and zeal that those of us that have adopted a low carb way of eating for a lifetime try to share. Over 5 years for me. Losing weight, is just a nice bonus to this health plan.
I advocate a high fat diet, more commonly referred to as a low carb diet or a high protein diet which is actually a misnomer. Though the carbohydrates are low, the protein is only a little higher than adequate but the magic happens in this plan with the fat.
Glucose is the bodies preferred fuel (if you want to get technical, if actually burns alcohol most efficiently, but that doesn’t make it any healthier for the body than carbs), the body can convert 100% of carbs, 58% of protein & 10% of dietary fat into glucose. The body can also be fueled by fat (dietary fat & fat cells) but only in the absence of carbs. Your brain actually prefers to be fueled by ketones (part of the fat burning process), only the heart requires glucose, but glucose can be easily converted from fat stores or excess protein if needed or dietary fat.
Your body requires fats, you will die without them. Your body requires protein, you will die without them. You will die if you eat protein without fat. You do not require carbohydrates. The body can manufacture all it needs from the protein/fat combination.
High fat, adequate protein and very low carbs will after 3 days convert your body to burning fat as fuel (ketosis). While in ketosis you will burn dietary fat and if dietary fat is more than sufficient, body fat directly. High calories will keep the metabolism at maximum fat burning capabilities.
Eating carbohydrates while trying to lose body fat is terribly inefficient. When in glycolysis (burning glucose as fuel) you have to lower your calories (which slows your metabolism) and exercise heavily to deplete your glycogen stores before burning body fat.
A calorie is not a calorie. The body does not follow logical mathematical equations. Metabolism is controlled by nutrition. You can’t eat 600/1000/1500/2000 calories of fruit (pick a number, it doesn’t matter - only the amount of fat stored changes) , your body will treat it as being starved (which it is, starved of nutrition) and will shut down your metabolism as if you’re eating nothing, but will store every possible ounce as fat. Inversely, you wont gain weight on 4000 or more calories of fat & protein (if fat is 65% of calories) because insulin (the fat storage hormone) is not activated.
Your body won’t release fat stores if you lower calories below what it needs. It will slow your metabolism to compensate & store every spare ounce as fat. If you continue lowering your calories, it will continue lowering that set point, til you can survive off nothing and store fat on anything. The body will only release it’s fat stores if it knows there is plenty of food. Read the diet boards about the young girls eating 600 calories a day for months (but fruit is so healthy!) & not losing weight and considering lowering their calories further. Sure they lose some weight at first but it’s water weight & lean tissue but their bodies become fat storage machines.
Although it is completely possible to live on a fat/protein only diet for long term (as proven by research done in a hospital setting) it becomes boring fairly quickly. Luckily many, many vegetables and some fruits, nuts and seeds are low in carbs and greatly expand the diet. Most long term low carbers eat as many, if not more non starchy vegetables than vegetarians.
Detractors of the high fat, high protein Atkins diet claim that Dr. Dean Ornish’s low calorie, low-fat vegetarian diet as the optimal diet. I believe that Atkins & Ornish’s plans are not that incompatible, they both promote ultimate health as their goal. They both agree that the major problem occurs when you mix carbs with fat. They both agree that highly refined non nutritional carbs with man made fats (trans fats, hydrogenated fats) in mass quantities produces the current obesity/health degradation epidemic that is of global concern.
Ultimately, your diet needs to be what can you live with? I personally wouldn’t be happy living without meat, fat, cheese. I like not having calorie restrictions. It’s easier for me to do without than to do "in moderation".
I am severely obese and my dream is to lose 200 or more pounds on the Nutrisystem Diet. I just started two days ago and I know it will take a long time, perhaps two years or longer. Is it possible to lose that much on this diet? What is the most weight you heard of that a person loss on the Nutrisystem diet? Thank You.
I am also severely obese. I used to be just overweight. I got on Nutrisystem to help me with that. After a while I had to stop because I ran out of money, and the weight came piling back on, and I gained 75 pounds more than I used to weigh. Now I am pretty much stuck…
If you are going to do it, my best advice is to stay with the program and don’t ever stop it until you lose all the weight you want to lose, then be careful and don’t eat anything that’s not healthy!
Let me know if there’s anything else I can answer for you. Good luck.. I wish you the best results!
Ive been on the program for a week now and Ive lost 10 lbs already. The first couple of days are hard, your cutting your calorie count to between 800 - 1000 calories so its a big adjustment. But after a few days you are use to it. If gives you a real energy boost and you feel all around healthy! You have to follow it to the Letter if you want real results. Prevent boredom and cheating by finding some medifast recipes, they are delicious! I made pancakes this morning out of my medifast meals!
Its not as expensive as Jenny Craig or Nutrasystem. For a month supply its alittle over 300 dollars.
Wondering how many carbs you can have and still keep your body in Ketosis?
I’m assuming that is same as Atkins, where you start out with 20 grams of carbs per day (or less) and add 5 grams of carbs per week til you reach your personal carb level.
You can lose more body fat eating protein & fat (don’t eat protein alone) than not eating AT ALL. To lose weight fast, eat all you want, but nothing but meat, eggs, healthy oils, mayo, butter & half an avocado a day (for added potassium). Keep the calories high & the fat percentage high, at least 65% of calories. Green vegetables & some cheese will continue weight loss but at a slower pace.
The first week is just water weight but fat is lost thereafter if you keep your calories high enough. Otherwise the body will strip it’s own lean tissue for nutrition. Although that may look great on a scale it will make it MUCH easier to accumulate fat in the future (since all that pesky lean tissue burning up calories will be gone). The body won’t release fat stores if you lower calories below what it needs. It will slow metabolism to compensate & store every spare ounce as fat. If you continue lowering calories, it will continue lowering the set point, til it can survive off nothing & store fat on anything. The body will only release it’s fat stores if it knows there is plenty of nutritious food.
Eating carbs while trying to lose body fat is terribly inefficient. When in glycolysis (burning glucose as fuel) you have to lower your calories (which slows your metabolism) & exercise heavily to deplete your glycogen stores before burning body fat.
The core of Atkins program is converting the body from glycolysis (burning glucose as fuel) to ketosis (burning fat as fuel). Dietary fat levels need to be at >65% of total calories, if not, the body will still remain in glycolysis by converting 58% of excess protein into glucose (via gluconeogenesis).
It takes minimum of 3 days to convert a body to ketosis, (but only one bite to convert back to glycolysis). People feel sluggish the first week but most feel better than ever thereafter.
Simple carbohydrates (sugar, flour, bread, cereal, pasta, potatoes, rice) trigger insulin which can store the calories eaten into fat. The more protein the more the fat burning hormone glucagon is released. The more carbohydrate the more the fat storage hormone insulin is released.
Simple carbs are addictive & can be disastrous to health. The best way to break the addiction is NO carbs for 3 days. Make a huge batch of deviled eggs, eat one every time you want "something" - have huge omelets with bacon, sausage, peppers, mushrooms & cheese. Pork chops smothered with peppers, mushrooms & cheese - pork rinds & dip or tuna/chicken/turkey/egg salad - steaks - a huge sugar free cheese cake. Eat so much you won’t feel deprived of anything. By the 4th day, the addiction will be gone & you can start making healthy choices.
High insulin levels promote inflammation, weight gain, hunger & unbalance other hormones. Controlling insulin levels will balance out other hormones & allow human growth hormone (HGH) to be produced naturally so lean muscle will be gained even without exercise. Any exercise will greatly increase muscle mass with high HGH levels.
Ground flax seed (2 Tbsp) 1/4 cup water, artificial sweetener, mix in a raw egg - let sit 10 min. to absorb liquid, put some cream cheese in the middle & nuke 2 minutes. Suggested for daily fiber needs.
The first 2 weeks eat several cups a day of (mostly) lettuce & celery, cucumbers, radishes, mushrooms, peppers & more variety of vegetables thereafter - add 5 grams per day additional every week (20 grams day first 2 weeks, 25grams 3rd week, 30grams 4th week etc) til you gain weight, then subtract 10grams. That will be your personal carb level (everyone is different & depends on how active you are.)
Start with meat, fats & salads for 2 weeks and then slowly add in more green veg, wk4 fresh cheeses, wk5 nuts & seeds, wk6 berries, wk7 legumes, wk8 other fruits, wk9 starchy veg, wk10 whole grains. You will learn how your body reacts to different foods.
As long as you have <9grams carbs per hour, you will maintain insulin control & shouldn’t gain weight, no matter the calories. Many people gain weight on high carb, do low carb to lose weight & then are shocked when they return to high carb & gain weight. Many people can return to moderate carb levels but very few can really eat all they want of sugar & maintain weight or health.
