Trechos de um post em que José Carlos Souto (JCS), do blog
Dieta Low-Carb e Paleolítica, avisa de três links no site da CBS que falam sobre a adoção da dieta Paleo por uma equipe da NBA (Basquete). Ele faz alguns comentários e responde algumas perguntas. Aconteceu no grupo
Dieta Paleo no Facebook.

Isso
significa MILHÕES de pessoas sendo expostas pela primeira vez à ideia
páleo. E é óbvio que o único motivo para que treinadores permitam que
atletas de elite (que valem milhões) sigam essa linha é porque FUNCIONA.
São 3 reportagens longas e detalhadas
Robb Wolf, Cordain, citados lá.
Trechos: I've
seen great results from it from when I started doing it last year --
watching your sugar intake, making sure you're eating healthy fats. It
has basically turned the government's sacred food pyramid upside-down.
Shanahan wants the players to get at least 50 percent of their calories
from fat, and no more than 25 percent each from protein and
carbohydrates. Wait, what? That's right. Basically the opposite of what
you and everyone else alive have been doing for years. Williams
was 20-25 pounds overweight when the Lakers signed him in September, so
his regimen called for fewer carbs and more fat and protein. That's
right, more fat. Since starting the program three weeks before training
camp, Williams has lost 20 pounds while doubling his fat intake. Gone
are the sugary drinks, cereals and processed grains.
"There's
this fear that if an athlete doesn't get enough carbs, he might keel
over and die," DiFrancesco said. "He might get to first quarter and drop
dead if didn't eat enough pasta the day before. I was seeing sugar and a
lack of fear of sugar, when it should be the opposite. They need to
embrace fat -- good fat -- and fear sugar like it's going to kill us,
because it is doing that before our eyes."
Within
weeks of starting the program, Howard said his blood-glucose levels
declined 80 percent. After increasing his consumption of healthy fats
and decreasing processed carbs -- "No bread," Howard said -- all the
blood markers that are indicative of heart health went in the right
direction, too. After some initial lethargy during the detox phase,
Howard said his endurance improved and his energy levels became more
consistent. His body-fat percentage -- hovering around 5-6 percent his
entire career -- dropped to 3 percent, he said.
E
sim, eles estão tomando CAFÉ COM MANTEIGA!!! Not only are the Lakers
unafraid of healthy fats, they practically freebase them. The pregame
beverage of choice is something the players call "bullet-proof coffee"
-- coffee seasoned with two teaspoons of pastured butter and heavy,
grass-fed cream.
"The caffeine dilates your blood vessels and delivers the fat to the brain," Kaman said. "It's good."
After
years of health authorities telling us to eat low-fat, high-carb diets,
there's a movement afoot suggesting that it's actually the processed
carbs and sugars that are causing disease – not the fats, as long as the
fats are from quality sources.
In
October, Sweden became the first Western nation to establish
nutritional guidelines that reject a high-carb, low-fat diet after the
Swedish health council pooled the results of 16,000 studies on the
causes of heart disease and diabetes and found no link to saturated fats
--and instead, found links to sugar and high-carb diets.
Wolf
works most often with people who are sick and obese, and those with
type II diabetes and/or other metabolic diseases are best served by a
strict Paleo diet with very little starch and no dairy, he said. But
professional athletes and members of the military are equally motivated
to try the Paleo lifestyle for optimal health, and there's more than one
way to do it.
"For
it to be a mainstream phenomenon, you need about 15 percent of the
population to be doing it," Wolf said. "My back-of-the-envelope estimate
is that we have between 1 and 5 percent of the population of the United
States who are aware of or are doing something that looks like a Paleo
diet."
The Lakers have gone all-in with a high-fat, low-carb, grass-fed, real-food diet.
The
Lakers' approach is geared toward reprogramming the body to burn fat
for fuel instead of glucose. It's a state known as ketosis, under which
studies have shown that some athletes -- like cyclists -- perform very
well. But it may take an athlete 2-3 years of a strict low-carb diet --
5-10 percent of calories from carbs -- to achieve that state, and it's
not for everyone.
VM: Dr
souto, minha mãe tem pedra na vesicula (grande a ponto dela romper e
prejudicar o pancreas) e esteatose hepatica devido a obesidade. Ela pode
fazer essa dieta? Obrigada pela atenção!
JCS: "essa dieta" é a dieta humana. Ovelhas devem comer grama?
Se
alguém está sadio e tem 18 anos, talvez consiga se dar bem com uma
dieta de hamburger e coca-cola. Pessoas doentes têm mais motivos ainda
para comer uma dieta saudável.
VM: A gordura no figado tambem é causada pela ingestão de carbos?
JCS: Os
cálculo biliares têm a ver com o DESUSO da vesícula biliar devido a
dieta POBRES em gordura, motivo pelo qual ocorre EXCLUSIVAMENTE na dieta
ocidental, sendo patologia desconhecida em povos caçadores coletores
com uma alimentação natural. Os fatores de risco para litíase biliar são
todos parte da síndrome metabólica, que é causa pelo excesso de açúcar e
farináceos, e curada pela abstenção destas coisas.

conclusão: "Our findings suggest that a high intake of carbohydrate,
glycaemic load, and glycaemic index increases the risk of symptomatic
gall stone disease in men. These results add to the concern that low fat
high carbohydrate diets may not be an optimal dietary recommendation."
O
que causa esteatose é o excesso de carboidratos, não de gorduras. As
gorduras que comemos são distribuídas pelo corpo pelas quilomicras. O
fígado sintetiza gorduras a partir de carboidratos sob influência da
insulina. E low carb é extremamente eficaz em reverter este quadro, por
motivos óbvios.

LR: eu tenho um sobrinho com este problema, qual deve ser a alimentação dele basicamente? Não é perigoso ele fazer uso de gorduras?
Se depois de ler estas postagens, vc não começar a comer gordura, é porque eu devo escrever muito mal.
