    98 – Choices to be healthy Nov 05, 2012
    Show notes

    (duration 24:29)In this episode we discuss keeping healthy during such candy-laden times as Halloween. Dark chocolate and coconut shavings “toasted” in either butter or coconut oil are great alternatives. Since we live in a culture that doesn’t wholeheartedly embrace healthy lifestyles, it can be challenging to navigate social relations. Once again, nonviolent communication, which entails connecting with feelings and needs, really assists in this process with both self and others. A good nutritional rule of thumb is to aim for less than a hundred grams of carbs per day for optimal health–and make sure you get enough sound sleep! It turns out that you can eat Primal on the cheap; if you have a tight budget, it’s not necessary to get “grass-fed” meat or “organic” this or that in order to eat Primal and dramatically improve your health.

    97 – The mental side of weight loss and our new webinar Sep 22, 2012
    Show notes

    (duration 15:51)In this episode (sorry for the delay!) we discuss the various problems with the “calorie-counting diet and exercise” approach to weight loss. This sort of lifestyle is not really helpful for most people, both in terms of keeping the excess fat off and maintaining a healthy and happy mindset. We also discuss our upcoming free webinar on the psychological side of permanent weight loss, which deals with the core aspects of self-acceptance, emotional awareness, and nutritional motivation. We look forward to seeing you there!

    96 – Reflections on the Olympics and understanding self-compassion Aug 14, 2012
    Show notes

    (duration 36:20)In this show we discuss aspects of the 2012 Olympics (and the scant NBC coverage, as usual), including our personal favorites such as the Coca Cola collectors cans! ;) What better way than carbonated sugar water and McDonalds to ensure getting the gold or packing on extra pounds! Then, we discuss how to “chew the juice,” based on Kev’s visit to a vegan/raw food meeting. While you can definitely get lots of extra micronutrients from veggies (whether juiced or not), you also need fats and animal proteins for optimal health. Olive oil is great for salads, btw. Lastly, we explore some important research on self-compassion especially regarding weight loss. Self-esteem is an overarching need that entails self-acceptance and self-compassion. If we don’t think and feel well of ourselves, it makes our decisions, among other things, much more difficult. Stay tuned for our new self-acceptance course!

    95 – Interview with Sweet Potato Power author Ashley Tudor Jul 21, 2012
    Show notes

    (duration 41:55)With our guest Ashley Tudor, we explore the ins and outs of the splendid root known as the sweet potato, often called “yams” in grocery stores (which is a misnomer because yam is actually a different, much less nutritious species and a tuber not a root). Sweet potatoes are a helpful addition to an athlete’s dietary regimen, offering extra carbs for training without the extra fructose that comes with fruit. And contrary to popular opinion, grains are not great. It’s important to beware the harmful effects of overtraining, as well as of extra carbs, even if they’re from sweet potatoes. Benign dietary ketosis (burning fat exclusively) is fine, though as in any regimen, it’s important to pay attention to your body’s signals. Sweet potatoes can be cooked and consumed in lots of ways, not just baked (check out Ashley’s book for recipes:). It helps to quantify yourself in terms of getting baseline readings and optimizing your health; e.g., a glucometer can be a useful addition. Also, treat your body well in terms of reducing stress and maintaining a good sleep cycle.

    94 – Carb binges and standards of perfection Jul 05, 2012
    Show notes

    (duration 25:21)In this show we delve into the process of binging on carbs, as noted in a recent study. In an all-too-common practice, people reach for the carbs to deal with their hunger and cravings, rather than relying on healthy fat as their main energy source. The key is to keep yourself satiated with various fats such as coconut and palm and olive oils, all sorts of nuts and butters, instead of sugars and grains. Veggies and fruits are an important compliment to your fats and protein. We also discussed the nature of the “perfect” body and optimal health. Rather than pursue some unrealistic standard of perfection, have a standard based on the reality of your ideal body fat percentage and a happy mindset. Self-acceptance is key.

    93 – Grocery shopping and eating your veggies Jun 17, 2012
    Show notes

    (duration 29:58)In this show we discuss a trip to the grocery store, providing some insights regarding such things as coconut milk, meats, and peanut butter. As far as vegetables go, studies have shown that they’ve declined in micronutrient content over the last few decades. So, don’t skimp on them and preferably look for slightly healthier versions at farmers’ markets. In the grand scheme of weight loss, though, nearly any veggies will be beneficial (as opposed to processed foods), and there’s more need to focus on less carbs and healthy fats. More nutrients can be gotten from many vegetables when they are cooked (e.g., steamed, boiled, or microwaved).

    92 – Issues of weight loss and gain and life-extension May 27, 2012
    Show notes

    (duration 23:31)

    We discuss Kevin’s return to cool SoCal from hot and humid Asia. Apparently, traveling in developing countries can be a way to lose weight, whether or not one wants to! Lots of heat, walking, and small portions can take their toll. So, getting more protein and fat (and some carbs from sweet potatoes), as well as strength training, is now on Kev’s agenda. Both weight gain and weight loss can entail self-acceptance and self-image issues. Using a feeding tube (as in the case of the “K-E Diet”) as a substitute for psychological understanding can of course be costly. Caloric restriction (w/ optimal nutrition) might have anti-aging and health benefits, yet this needs to be balanced with overall well-being and a pleasurable life. Probably our best bet for extending our life-spans involves bio-tech innovations that target the main factors in aging, such as what Aubrey de Grey proposes (http://sens.org).

    91 – Health and fitness traveling tales from Asia May 04, 2012
    Show notes

    (duration 24:00)

    In this show, we discuss the fine art of eating healthily while traveling abroad. Kevin relates his ongoing experiences in southeast Asia, where there’s hot food and hot climate! He’s noticed lots of junk food and soda that people are consuming, especially tourists. The widespread consumption of rice is probably the least harmful grain, although there’s not much nutrition in it–just extra carbs (aka, cheap filler). Coconut is once again a very healthy choice (especially the oil and milk in curry), as opposed to oh-so sweet banana pancakes! Walking and pushups and other resistance training are helpful to stay in shape while on the go.

    90 – Listener Q&A about drinking, vegetarian and soy, self-image, fasting Apr 11, 2012
    Show notes

    (duration 26:55)In this show (sans Kev) I cover various questions from podcast listeners and our responses to them. Some take-aways: Drink water as your main libation; avoid overly sweet (carb-rich) drinks and minimize alcohol consumption; soy is not exactly a health food, in addition to not being Paleo; ovo-lacto-pesco vegetarianism is much better than just being a lousy hunter;) reduce your percentage of calories from carbs and increase your percentage from fat; developing a healthy self-image entails an inner process of self-acceptance, fostering a compassionate relationship with oneself; use nonviolent communication to understand and help yourself and others meet needs in life-enriching ways; intermittent fasting and especially caloric restriction have some health and longevity benefits.

    89 – Listener emails about calories, carbs, and success stories Mar 18, 2012
    Show notes

    (duration 26:26)In this show (sans Kev) I cover various questions from podcast listeners and our responses to them. Some take-aways: Go for full-fat coconut milk; If you cut your carb intake, you’re doing your body a world of good; although you can live without carbs but some are still useful to consume via fruits and veggies; isocaloric studies demonstrate that insulin secretion–not calories–is the main factor in fat gain, maintenance, and loss; when cooking your food (especially with fat) avoid using really high heat, as it can cause formation of harmful compounds; fat is your friend for meeting your health and energy needs; when you feel impatient about your weight loss process, or encounter others who frown upon your lifestyle changes, it’s helpful to use nonviolent communication to address feelings and needs and develop more life-enriching strategies. :)
