Looking for a Sustainable, Effective Diet?
Why Low Fat Doesn't Work
 As we head into a new year, many of us will make the wise decision to start or continue on a healthy diet and lifestyle. Long term, the best way to control your weight is to develop healthful eating habits and eat moderately. Do that, and unless you have a major metabolic disorder and are extremely inactive, you will arrive at a weight that is appropriate for your age and body type. But if a diet, and I am speaking of a way of eating, not specifically a weight-loss diet, is impossible to maintain because it is lacking in flavor and leaves you hungry and with cravings for certain foods, it is only a matter of time before it becomes a former diet. In the decades since the American government has advocated a low-fat diet, the obesity epidemic has exploded.
Low Fat Is High Carb A low-fat diet, by definition, is inherently a high carbohydrate diet. That’s because when you restrict fat, you are restricting protein as well, since meat, poultry, fish, cheese, and most other forms of protein contain good amounts of fat. What you are left with, then, is carbohydrates, which encompasses an array of foods. (Most foods contain some combination of fat, protein and carbohydrates.) Low-glycemic (“good”) carbohydrates are typically whole foods like leafy green vegetables, brown rice, lentils, raspberries, and hundreds of other vegetables, fruits and whole grains. Then there is the endless array of high-glycemic (“bad”) carbohydrates that beckon from the supermarket shelves, including the processed, refined offerings such as cookies, chips, syrupy drinks, white bread and so on. By definition, high glycemic foods have a dramatic impact on blood sugar levels within a couple of hours after consumption. In contrast, low glycemic foods raise blood sugar levels more slowly and moderately. In addition, dairy products contain carbohydrates along with fat and protein.
Most Fats Are Fine When you control carbohydrates, you don’t have to keep track of how much fat — other than trans fats, known as hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oils, which are to be avoided at all costs — you are eating. That means that you can enjoy a lamb chop, salmon, olive oil on your vegetables and in your salad dressing and whipped cream on fresh raspberries, without feeling guilty. In fact, all these fats carry flavor, which makes food more satisfying. When you eliminate most fat from your diet, you yearn for flavor, which can often lead to overeating. Fats provide a comforting satiety in a way that carbohydrates don’t, which is why high-fat, low-carb diets like The Silver Cloud Diet are more popular and more sustainable than low-fat diets.

The Importance of a Vitamin Regimen for Optimal Health and Longevity
 An integral part of making healthy lifestyle choices is to simultaneously adopt a supplement program, with a high quality multi-vitamin formula, that contains certain nutrients — including chromium, pantethine, selenium, vanadium and biotin — which play a role in regulating blood sugar and insulin, as well as in burning fat. Your supplement regimen should also include potent levels of pure antioxidants for maximum life extension benefits.
• Chromium, which deserves a great deal of attention, helps activate the uptake of insulin at its receptor sites. It is best assimilated in the form of chromium polynicotinate. A spate of studies has shown that chromium will build muscle, decrease body fat and lower cholesterol levels
• Pantethine (vitamin B5) is a remarkable nutrient that helps control cholesterol, supports the adrenals and produces “friendly” bacteria in the intestine, making it a valuable tool in preventing yeast overgrowth.
• Selenium is a powerful antioxidant, a trace mineral found in the soil, combines with proteins to function as an antioxidant. Although it is essential to eat plenty of vegetables and fruits to maintain good health, in many parts of the world the soil is depleted of nutrients, including selenium, making supplementation of this nutrient essential. It may also play a beneficial nutritional role in preventing diabetes.
• Vanadium (vanadyl sulfate) is a trace mineral that dramatically aids diabetics, apparently by helping cells absorb blood sugar more effectively and thereby decreasing the need for insulin.
• Biotin is an unsung B vitamin whose nutritional role was emphasized by a study that noted a significant drop in diabetics’ blood-sugar levels after taking the supplement.
• Folic Acid is one of the B vitamins, occurs naturally in the form of folate in leafy dark greens such as spinach and kale as well as beans, beets and corn, citrus fruits and most berries—it also occurs in organ meats. But most people do not eat enough of these foods; moreover, cooking destroys most of the folic acid; finally, folic acid needs to be consumed with vitamins B12 and B6 to be efficacious. The best way to ensure adequate intake of this crucial nutrient is as part of a multivitamin.
• Green Tea, long a dietary staple in Japan, has recently become a “hot” nutrient in the Western world—and for good reason. Green tea contains four polyphenols, including epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), which are powerful antioxidants known collectively as catechins. Many studies have shown that consuming green tea reduces the risk of developing cancer. A study published in 2000 revealed that subjects who consumed more than 10 cups of green tea daily cut their risk of all forms of cancer by nearly 50 percent. For those who do not want to consume that much caffeine, this invaluable antioxidant is available as a pure extract.
• trans-Resveratrol (Protykin), The secret to anti-aging lies with this active form of resveratrol polyphenols found in the skins, seeds and stems of red wine grapes. The ultra beneficial form, trans-Resveratrol, has been proven in studies to activate the SIRT1 longevity gene and enhance cellular productivity. Several research studies have shown that trans-Resveratrol significantly modulates biomarkers of bone metabolism, inhibits pro-inflammatory enzymes such as COX-1 and COX-2, and exhibits chemopreventive agents, anticarcinogenic properties, cardioprotective effects, neuroprotective properties, and caloric restrictive behavior.
• Co-Enzyme Q10, This fat-soluble antioxidant is a compound found in the mitochondria, or energy center, of every cell of the body, with the greatest concentration in the heart, which, in part, helps it to pump forcefully. As an antioxidant, Co-Q-10 also scavenges free radicals, and inhibits the formation of clots. More than a third of people with hypertension are deficient in Co-Q-10. Conversely, the antioxidant lowers blood pressure in patients with hypertension.
• Omega-3 EPA + DHA are essential fatty acids that enhance the quality of life and lower the risk of premature death. They are usually lacking in the typical Western diet. There is overwhelming evidence that omega-3 fatty acids, particularly fish oils, have been consistently shown to reduce the risk of strokes and fatal and non-fatal heart attacks in at a number of ways. Fish oils help artery walls flexible, reduce the process of plaque growth, reduce triglyceride levels, prevent blood clotting, reduce blood pressure and stabilize heart rhythm. Well known for their cardiovascular benefits, fish oils are also valuable for reducing the risk of cancer.

Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement for Weight Loss
 Bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) is key to anti-aging issues and is intertwined with weight issues in postmenopausal women and men suffering from andropause (male menopause) caused by a gradual decline in testosterone.
So what is BHRT exactly? In a nutshell, BHRT treats the symptoms of menopause, perimenopause, and postmenopause, in women and the symptoms of andropause in men.
Those symptoms can include hot flashes, bloating, weight gain, mood swings, brain fog, fatigue, cholesterol imbalance, blood sugar imbalance, and increased body fat.
The Silver Cloud Diet is ideal for women and men because it focuses on high quality protein and natural fats, with plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits. As part of a full weight management program, we recommend supplements as well, but sometimes hormone imbalances must be addressed and that’s when we turn to BHRT (bio-identical hormone replacement therapy).
BHRT is not to be confused with synthetic hormone treatment, like the horse urine tabs that jolted a woman’s body with enormous doses of estrogen and subjected her to an increased risk for cancer of the breast and female organs. The synthetics have been named in warnings by the FDA as dangerous to women’s health and adding significant risk for female organ cancers. On the contrary, BHRT are molecularly identical to endogenous hormones in the human body. We determine the exact combination of hormones for each individual through evaluation and lab testing. Women typically receive a compound blend of estrone, estradiol, and progesterone, as well as testosterone (Yes, women need a bit of testosterone too!)
We find BHRT to be an enormous asset to clients on The Silver Cloud Diet, who are in the age range, say 40 to 80, especially those who despite their efforts are having trouble losing weight.
