Rapid Fast Weight Loss Diet - Lose 10 Pounds Fast

PRLog (Press Release) – Oct 05, 2009 – Want to try out a rapid weight loss diet? If you'd like to see some amazing weight loss, you're going to have to go a little extreme on the diet. One of the most extreme diets that results in a massive amount of weight loss is the Atkins diet. The reason for the success of this diet is that it turns your body into a fat burning machine, here's how this rapid weight loss diet works:

1. Eat A High Amount of Fat

You would think this is the absolute worst thing you could do if you want to lose weight, but the thing is, if you can train your body to burn fat for fuel rather than carbs, you can turn your body into a fat burning machine. When your body gets used to burning fat for fuel, you can lose weight fairly easily. This leads us to our second point.

2. Eat No Carbs

You don't want to eat any carbs, or at least keep the daily dosage below 10 grams. When you do this, you force your body to get used to using fat for energy and burning up only fat for fuel, this eventually leads to burning up the fat stores in your body for fuel if you're in a caloric deficit.

3. Eat Moderate Protein

You can't just eat fat though, you need some protein to maintain your muscles and to fill you up without too many calories, fatty foods are filled with calories.

If you follow this rapid weight loss diet, and you ensure you eat below your maintenance level of calories, you will see fat loss, in a big way.

Glial Cell Function Vital for Learning

PRLog (Press Release) – Oct 01, 2009 – A major breakthrough in our understanding of nerve cell function opens the door for strategies to improve learning.  Central to the issue is the function of the glial cells within your brain (also called astrocytes).  For the very first time bi-directional communication between glial cells and nerve transmitting cells has been identified, showing how glial cells regulate learning.  This discovery is of extreme importance to everyone.

Getting information to flow along nerve cells is vital for making new connections, strengthening existing skills, and overall intelligence.  The use of speed-like ADHD medication is to force such transmission to take place, regardless of what it is doing to the health of the phone poles and wires that are carrying the transmission.  The new science readily predicts that such drugs are extremely harmful, due to their excitotoxic side effects on glial cell and brain structure, regardless of any learning problems they improve in the short term.

Scientists were extremely surprised to find that nerve transmitting cells send a message to glial cells asking for help, and these glial cells then directly increase the ability of nerve transmitting cells to transmit signals.  In fact, glial cells are likely the overall managers of nerve transmission.

I have been reporting on the emerging science of glial cells for the past five years.  They form 90% of the brain cells in your head.  Until recently, scientist attributed all brain function to the nerve-transmitting neurons.  This places a heavy emphasis on neurotransmitters like serotonin in terms of understanding how your brain works to regulate mood, memory, learning, etc.

The glial influence on nerve cells, especially in depression, has become better understood and is significant.  

It is very important to understand that glial cells make inflammatory cytokines in your brain and when they are overheated then virtually all diseases within the nervous system take place, ranging from Alzheimer’s to clinical depression.

Thus, it is an immense finding that glial cells are regulating learning.  It opens an entire new approach to helping people with nerve issues of any kind, including autism spectrum disorders as well as optimizing intelligence for any person.  

The basic approach to this is to make your glial cells happy.  I will discuss this in depth in my upcoming class on ADHD (available as the September 30, 2009 podcast).
