Comments on: Dr. Krista Varady Interview Part 2 http://www.healthyfellow.com/517/dr-krista-varady-interview-part-2/ Your Natural Health Critic Thu, 09 Feb 2012 18:34:21 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.4 By: JP http://www.healthyfellow.com/517/dr-krista-varady-interview-part-2/comment-page-1/#comment-5394 JP Wed, 10 Nov 2010 04:44:31 +0000 http://www.healthyfellow.com/?p=517#comment-5394 Candice, I suspect it does. In time we'll probably know to what extent that occurs. In the meantime, I'm a firm believer in playing the odds - until I have a reason not to. For instance, I've lost an additional 15 lbs due to alternate day fasting. I didn't know for certain that I'd find the same (weight loss) success as the participants in the pilot ADF study. I only knew that it worked for most of the people that tried it in a controlled manner. So I gave it a shot based on the best evidence I had available. A calculated experiment that turned out. :) Be well! JP Candice,

I think eating a nutrient dense diet becomes even more important if you're also restricting calories - in any form. If I adopted an ADF program, I'd emphasize the same elements I currently do in my daily diet - healthy, whole food sources of protein, fat, fiber, nutrients and phytochemicals. The only difference might be a shift to a slightly higher protein intake in the hope of preserving lean body mass. Be well! JP Thank you, Ashley.

This was the name of a client back in the day. I automatically associated what I read with the name I already knew. Interesting how the brain does that! Again, my apologies Dr. Varady!

I am a supporter of fasting myself, and find it to be beneficial for my physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. I'm curious-what do you think about people who use ADF being allowed to eat whatever they want? I know Dr. Vanardy mentioned that there was not a difference in weight loss, but I would not think it a good idea to encourage anyone to "eat whatever they want". They would still lose weight,yes, but I would think it safe to say too much is known about the quality and nutrient density of foods and the interactions they have in our bodies for it not to be encouraged to eat foods that will increase the body's healing capabilities. One may lose weight eating 25% of their caloric needs in oreo's, pasteurized milk, and pizza, but their body-I think- would be worse off for it. What are your thoughts?

I don't need to lose weight but I'd like to see how my body and mind would react to such an eating plan. Who says nutrition can't be fun?! ;) Be well! JP Good day, Nina! :)

For me would work both, dependent of season and daily "challenges". Stay healthy! :-) Nina K. Good Morning, JP!
