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:

http://www.lewrockwell.com/orig10/deutsch1.html

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 starter used in this video.

Austin Texas firefighter, Rip Esselstyn, made a bet with a fellow firefighter, JT: if JT would just eat the way Rip ate for 28 days, then JT’s cholesterol would come down from 364 to 150.

JT’s father and grandfather had both died in their 50s from heart attacks, so bringing JT’s cholesterol down was crucial for him .

Rip won the bet — and saved JT’s life.

Look at the food the all the guys in the fire house in Austin are eating now — then get a copy of Rip’s book and start eating this way yourself:

My criteria for a good low carb breakfast is:
* has to be quick to make
* has to be easy to make
* has to provide enough nutrition for morning activities and mid day exercise

I also suggest the valuable step of prepping for breakfast the night or the week before by chopping the vegetables or cooking the meat beforehand to expand your options. With that in mind, there are countless options for the 5-minute or less breakfast meals.

I highlight my favorite 5:
* Taco or Fajita Salad
* Low Carb Stir Fry
* Sausage Broccoli Quiche
* Upside Down Low Carb Pizza
* Pancakes and Syrup

Hi,Sweet,sweet Judy:-)

I’ll be the first to admit it – I don’t like the Cabbage Soup Diet. But you, like a lot of people out there, are looking for a quick way to lose weight and you heard that this fad diet is the way to do it.

Now as a responsible person who has some knowledge about weight loss, I should talk you out of it. I should tell you that this particular soup diet has been around for ages. Countless people have tried losing weight with cabbage soup diet recipes, and while some have succeeded, others have failed miserably.

So, you’re probably thinking that because some people have lost weight on the cabbage soup diet that means that success is possible. And I bet you’re also thinking that all diets do not work for all people. Well, you’re right about that. Dieting is not an exact science. What works for some won’t work for others.

Okay, so what’s my problem with the cabbage soup diet?

I think this diet is an extremely short-term solution to a long-term problem. Like most fad diets, you’re guaranteed to lose some water weight, which is pretty easy for most people to lose. This fact makes people think that it works miracles.

However, keep in mind that losing water weight is different than losing fat weight. Fat weight is what you really wanna lose. Fat weight is what’s making your stomach bulge and slowing your energy down.

The cabbage soup diet is going to zap you of energy and make you feel cranky and tired. Maybe not the first day or so, but stay on it for a while and you’ll see. You won’t be feeling so well. Plenty of people have done this diet and reported feeling lousy on it, but hey, maybe your experience will be different.

Okay, but does the cabbage soup diet work?

I know you’re really excited about this diet right now, but the responsible side of me just has to let you know that there are healthier ways to lose weight. Cabbage soup is tasty and can be added to a healthy meal plan, but overdoing it is not a good idea. A healthy weight loss plan contains many food items that give you protein, fruits, vegetables and yes, carbs.

Your body needs these things everyday in order to function properly. Eating cabbage soup for days on end will send your body a signal that you’re trying to starve it of nutrients. This will cause your body to react in exactly the opposite way you want. Your body will retain fat, calories and even water to protect itself from starvation.

After you go off this soup diet, every single calorie you eat will continue to be retained because your metabolism will have slowed down. This reaction may cause you to gain back what you lost and even gain a few more extra pounds on top of that. This is how your body works and there’s nothing you can do to get around it. That’s why most fad diets don’t work.

Okay, I’ve said my piece. If you still want to do the famous cabbage soup diet then go right ahead. You’re perfectly capable of making your own decisions about how you desire to lose weight.

Therefore, I’m giving you a free recipe for cabbage soup diet. I hope you like cabbage because for the next 7 days you’re going to be eating a lot of it. The plan allows you to eat some fruits, veggies and drink skim milk. On day five and six you can have beef or chicken.

So what’s the challenge?

I challenge you to eat this cabbage soup for 7 days straight and lose 10 pounds. I then challenge you to keep that weight off for another 10 days, without going back on the diet.

If you accomplish this goal, then you will have succeeded in proving me wrong (at least in this case). If you don’t succeed, then that’s okay too. I hope you visit my website and look over some healthier options for losing the weight you want.

In either case, I wish you good luck in losing those unwanted pounds for good.

Paillard is a method of cooking that pounds the meat flat, which tenderizes it and speeds cooking time. This chicken is sliced in half, and then pounded with a heavy object until thin. This method also tenderizes the chicken at the same time.

2. Slice 2 or 3 large chicken breasts in half.
3. Take the half and place in a plastic bag. Pound the chicken until 1/4″ to 1/3″ even thickness.
4. Saute the chicken 1-2 minutes over medium-high heat on each side.
5. Place on clove of garlic, one half can of enchilada sauce, 3 oz of cream cheese, and 3-4 oz of shredded cheddar cheese in pan. Cook until the cheese melts.
6. Preheat over to 425. Place chicken, sauce, and onion/pepper mixture in 13×9 baking pan. Top with another 1-2 oz of shredded cheese.
7. Bake for 15-20 minutes until cheese is browned on top.
