Reset Your Hunger Hormone to Shed Fat Easily
By: Al Sears, MD
Have you ever shivered on a cold day? Do you ever feel a little light-headed when you stand up too fast? I'm sure you've broken a sweat while doing your PACE exercises, right? What you're feeling is your body trying to return itself to "normal." In medicine we call that homeostasis. Your body is reacting to its environment and trying to get back within its natural chemical, hormonal and temperature ranges. Hunger is a good example. When your energy levels are low, normally your hunger hormones (like leptin and insulin) signal your body to eat. When you've eaten enough, your hormones should tell you that you've had enough. So eating enough should blunt your appetite. Your body should go back to a balanced state, and have homeostasis. That also means that if you gain weight, homeostasis should send a signal to eat less, use more energy, and bring you back to "normal." But there's a problem ... in the real world, it doesn't work that way... Continue Reading...

Is Quinoa the Superfood it's Made Out to Be?
By: Kelley Herring, Healing Gourmet
If you've recently adopted a gluten free diet, you may be experimenting with adding foods like quinoa, buckwheat and amaranth to your diet. Because these foods have many of the same culinary characteristics of wheat, they can easily be used in recipes for pancakes, muffins, cakes and other baked goods. They even have a similar taste and texture of traditional grain-based products. However, technically and botanically speaking, they aren't grains at all. They are seeds and belong to a different botanical class, which is why they are often called, pseudograins. Of these "false" grains, quinoa has gained the most popularity. In fact, quinoa has been referred to as the "Supergrain of the Future." The Food & Agriculture Organization of the United Nations even declared that 2013 was the "International Year of Quinoa". Quinoa is a relative of spinach, beets and chard. And considering those family ties, it would seem that quinoa deserves its recent recognition. But is quinoa really the superfood it is cracked up to be? Quinoa: Ancient Supergrain or Modern Superscam?Providing all nine essential amino acids, a rich source of fiber, magnesium, iron and riboflavin, quinoa also has a rich nutritional profile...

Increased Prevalence of Celiac Disease in Children with Irritable Bowel Syndrome
There appears to be an increased prevalence of celiac disease among children with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
Recurrent abdominal pain affects 10 percent to 15 percent of school-aged children. The prevalence of celiac disease is as high as 1 percent in European countries and patients can present with a wide spectrum of symptoms, including abdominal pain, although the disease is often asymptomatic.
The authors assessed the prevalence of celiac disease in 992 children with abdominal pain-related disorders: IBS, functional dyspepsia (indigestion) and functional abdominal pain. The final study group included 782 children: 270 with IBS, 201with functional dyspepsia and 311 with functional abdominal pain.
Blood tests were performed on all the children and 15 patients tested positive for celiac: 12 (4.4 percent) of the children with IBS, 2 (1 percent) of the children with functional dyspepsia and 1 (0.3 percent) of the children with functional abdominal pain. The prevalence of celiac among children with IBS was four times higher than the general pediatric population.
"The identification of IBS as a high-risk condition for celiac disease might be of help in pediatric primary care because it might have become routine to test for celiac disease indiscriminately in all children with recurrent abdominal pain, although our finding suggests that the screening should be extended only to those with IBS. This new approach might have important implications for the cost of care because it has been estimated that in children with FGIDs, screening tests are common, costs are substantial, and the yield is minimal."
Editorial: Role of Celiac Disease Screening for Children with Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders
In a related editorial, James E. Squires, M.D., and colleagues from Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, Ohio, write: "Based on the study by Cristofori et al, we suggest that selective screening for celiac disease is warranted for children with IBS but not for children with other FGIDS [functional gastrointestinal disorders]. However, the lines distinguishing IBS from alternative FGIDS are often blurred. It is within this reality that pediatric health care providers should examine the evidence, evaluate the patient and family, weigh the likelihood of a false positive test result, and make the decision that they believe will benefit the patient most."

Blasting the Beer Belly with Food Rotations and 50 Caliber Training
By: Scott Mendelson
Scott,
I am very lean everywhere except my belly and no matter what I do I just cannot get rid of the fat in that area. There is also a consistent bloated feeling that pushes out my stomach almost like I swallowed a small beach ball. I have what I can consider good habits in place regarding nutrition and training, but you may have a different take. What can I do to get rid of this beer belly and show off some abs this summer?
Buck
_____________________________________________
Buck, I would highly recommend 50 caliber training to burn off belly fat and strategic nutrition changes to lower body fat and get rid of the bloating. Thanks for sending your pictures and training/nutrition logs as this info helped me spot the sources of your problems very quickly. I agree that you have some good habits in place, but after five years of consistent efforts your strategies have not evolved at all. You have consumed the same foods prepared in the same way for five years and your body is no longer responding well. I have been designing customized training and nutrition programs for clients for ten years and there is no substitute for having the right strategy in place to fuel a fast transformation. Buck- now is the time for strategic change to support rapid fat loss. Check out this blog post which provides strategies for Blasting your Beer Belly Fast. It is difficult for most trainees to accept that programs that were successful in the past no longer work as body catches on to these tactics while hormonal/metabolic conditions change. Your nervous system which governs strength is no longer responding to your training routines based on the lack of performance progress. The ability to improve performance over time has a direct correlation to fat loss by increasing fat burning hormones... Continue Reading..._____________________________________________

Santa Maria Tri Tip Steak 
Ingredients:
Directions:
- Pat the tri-tip dry using paper towels. Sprinkle the rub evenly over the steak, then let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes while you prep your grill.
- To prep the grill, get one side hot while the other side cold, about 225-250 degrees on the cool side. This can be done by banking charcoal to one side, or turning off the burners on one half of your gas grill.
- Place the steak on the cool side of the grill, and cook using indirect heat until it reaches an internal temperature of 110F, about 40 minutes. When it gets to temperature, move it to the hot side of the grill, cook for 5 minutes, then flip and cook for another 5 minutes. This will give you a nice crust on the steak. Pull the steak off the grill when it reaches an internal temperature of about 130-135F.
- Let rest for 10 minutes then slice against the grain. Serve with its accumulated juices.
