Do You Have a Food Hangover & Not Know It?

I had too many carbs two days ago. It was a Friday. I had a headache on Saturday. I've been so good with my low carb eating plan that I felt bad that I over did it. Depending on how quickly I get back to my routine, I will still feel the effects of my overeating for one or two more days. I won't be gross, but other digestive maladies take a while to go away.

How about the folks who haven't gotten an handle on their food issues? People who can't lose weight or have constant stiffness or headaches are usually dealing with a stressed digestive system. When this happens the nerves connected to the digestive organs will send reflexes to their partner muscles and joints.

Every spinal nerve root delivers information for the organs and it's neighboring muscles.



If you are having a food hangover, you feel stiffness or pain in the musculo-skeletal system every time you move.

Ask me how chiropractic can translate these body reactions so you can get rid of your food hangover.

High Protein Bad for the Colon? Gotta Rebutt This

Another study on low carb dieting hit the news the other day. Check it out here.


Here's my "beef": (ha ha)
1. In the first part of the article the writer already claimed this study proved nothing! It consisted of 17 volunteers and it lasted only 4 weeks.

2. The first group ate 360 grams of carbs in a day. That is disgusting! The low carb group of 22 grams is too low. Remember Dr. Lutz says 72 grams provides perfect blood sugar. The medium carb group had 181 carbs a day which is still too high.

3. Personally, I don't agree with controlling protein or fat. That should be based solely on appetite and satiety.

4. This study noted that the high protein groups had the lowest fiber. There is a myth out there that high fiber foods coming from carbs are good. They are actually too high in carbs for the fiber to be beneficial. Dr. Lutz cited in his book, Life Without Bread, studies that were much better than this one.

5. Who's to say the high protein group wasn't detoxing the high levels of N-nitroso compounds? They may be linked to cancer but their bodies probably had them trapped in their fat cells prior to the study and were finally clearing them out when under the low carb diet.

I just don't buy this article. For the folks who are on the fence or don't really want to give up their carbs, this is just fuel to keep them believing the dangerous health myths about high carb and low fat diets.
