LivinLaVidaLowCarb.com blogger Jimmy Moore and his wife Christine discuss the little-known but very real “nocebo effect” as it relates to heart health in the latest installment of their popular “Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb on YouTube” series. In Episode 72, Jimmy and Christine discuss an article called “A Fat Nocebo” by a biochemist named Marshall E. Deutsch, a biochemist who poses an interesting theory about why people who fear getting a heart attack or death from consuming saturated fat and cholesterol are sealing their own fate: www.lewrockwell.com You may have heard of the “placebo effect” where a non-medicinal treatment like a sugar pill is used to help “cure” someone of a particular ailment simply because they believed it would. But a “nocebo effect” is when you think something is going to harm you so much that it actually does because of your strong belief that it will. Sounds like a bunch of hocus pocus mind games, but scientific research has shown this to be a very real phenomenon. With the issue of saturated fat and cholesterol, could it be that the fear of these is actually what is driving people to heart attacks and death more than the actual consumption of them? Is the worry about these things bringing so much stress on our bodies that we are living a self-fulfilling prophecy when we concern ourselves about them? It’s an interesting thing to think about in light of the ongoing fat phobia that still exists today. Special thanks to Dr. Deutsch for the conversation …
There’s been a lot of news that low carb diets are bad for your heart, because of the protein and fat content. But that’s largely due to the way people misinterpret the mandate to reduce carbs and shift to proteins.
Most Recommended Tips forGood for your hips, and also for your heart: Why cardiologists want you to go low-carb
Protein does not mean steaks every night. There are many healthy sources of protein, and if you look at the low carb menus that the nutritionists prepare, these advocate the same kinds of foods that cardiologists would recommend to their patients.
Take the South Beach diet. In the first two weeks, you can’t eat bread, fruit, rice, potatoes, pasta, sugar, alcohol and baked goods. What doctor wouldn’t stand up and applaud if you said no to chocolate cake and heavy servings of lasagna? Instead, you take lean protein, vegetables, nuts and cheese. These proteins include chicken breasts, tofu, extra lean ground beef, canned tuna and fresh fish. It even encourages the intake of beans, one of the highest sources of proteins with just one cup containing 25% of your daily required intake. As for fats, you’re encouraged to avoid the type that clog your arteries, and substitute the two known healthiest oils: olive oil and canola oil. In fact, studies of South Beach Diet users show a marked improvement in cholesterol levels.
And by lowering your total body weight, the South Beach Diet and other low carb diets removes the extra strain on your heart, which has to work extra hard to support your body systems and carry the extra pounds. There is a strong link between obesity and heart attacks, and for many who have struggled with recurring weight gain, the South Beach diet has been one of the most effective ways of losing the pounds, and keeping them off. That’s because low carb diets remove the body’s quickest source of energy, forcing it to burn the fat rather than live off a steady stream of carbohydrates.

The South Beach Diet also solves one problem that cardiologists often warn us about: high sugar levels. Carbohydrates are processed by the body into sugars, which give the quick burst of energy but can also cause diabetes. There has been an increased incidence of people developing diabetes in their thirties because of an unhealthy diet of junk food and processed carbs. Cardiologists are then forced to ask the patient to go on a low-carb and low-fat diet, but the South Beach program takes those principles to prevent late onset diabetes from even developing.

It is very common that I read questions or statements from new Atkineers saying, “How come I feel so tired?” “Why do I have such a headache?” “I have no energy what is this diet doing to me!” One of the problems is no one forewarned them about Induction flu. Induction flu is simply the body burning its last remaining glucose and stored glycogen for energy, and suffering withdrawal effects. It is very similar to what happens when runners “hit the wall” and cyclist “bonk.” In addition to the physical withdrawal symptoms there are the mental symptoms as well. Think of drug addict, are they necessarily pleasant to be around or in high spirits even though they are doing something good. Well the carb addict has the same reaction; I personally was irritable for the first 2 or 3 weeks as I had to figure out how to eat, exert control over what entered my mouth, and regain new comfort foods. It is a dramatic change, and some people resist change. The good news is it is just temporary. It typically only last a few days, but for some the mental effects might last longer. It also shows you are on the right path and making true progress on getting rid of the excess fat. The silver lining is indeed that by the end if you continue the follow the plan you will be burning fat for fuel. You’ll have to watch the video for my suggestions on how to lessen the effects.
I am starting a new series of videos based upon the questions or comments I have received either privately or in the comments section. Each of these videos will be targeted to answering that question or issue in short, less than 3 minutes video. I am hoping that these videos can be used as a Frequently Asked Question about the Atkins Diet or Low Carb in general. In this video, I deal with a question I receive often. How do I start or restart the diet? I come up with three specific recommendations: 1.) Get the junk out of your house. There is no reason to start with cravings staring you in the face. 2.) Get and read the book. The book I mean is either the low carb book of choice or Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution (2002). 3.) Hit the low carb recipe sites, like Linda’s Low Carb, and browse the Induction friendly recipes. Make a menu for the week and go shopping. The last half of this viewer’s question was how long to do the diet. I somewhat answered this already in the last video, but my answer is always “forever. There is no “after” on the Atkins Diet.” I hope you like this series of upcoming videos.
