BARIATRIC SURGERY EDITION PART 3 “THE FAT BASTARD GAZETTE” VOL. 1 NO. 10

The captain can only eat so much food at one time, having become a bariatric mutant. Q. needs all the protein he can get within reason. Rules of the road, after bariatric surgeries eat protein first, vegetables second, and lastly the starch; protein is needed to speed the healing process, “words of wisdom, Lloyd, words of wisdom” (The Shining). Q. has a nice long cut internally where his stomach used to be. Out of surgery only one month, Q. can only eat 4 ounces or less of solid food at a sitting; if he eats more than this, he gets a very bad sleeve to ache with gastric reflux, this he experienced with one attempted lunch, very unpleasant indeed, the cost of doing business. Hence, the low-calorie counts. Q. is learning very quickly about the wages of sin in eating too many ounces, it hurts, plenty of negative feedback in all this, which is a good thing. Nobody said this is going to be easy, but Q. is up for the challenge. Sit ludos incipe praemii aut poenae (So let the games of reward and punishment begin). A language so parochial is it not!

Edgar Small, Our Editor-in-Chief

Below is an informative and interesting article related to detoxing the liver while promoting weight loss. However, Q. and Staff are hard-pressed to stop drinking coffee, soda (now flat soda after his surgery), and using Truvia™. Everybody needs a few vices to make the day more bearable.

How to Lose Belly Fat with Home Remedies

Last Updated: Aug 16, 2013 | By Linda Tarr Kent

There are many home remedies you can use to boost fat burn on your belly. Many of them will already be in your cupboard or refrigerator. The right foods can detox your liver and rev your metabolism, helping you to target belly fat. Belly fat is more than a cosmetic concern. It ups risk for a host of health conditions, including diabetes and heart disease. Consuming fat-burning foods and spices will put you well on your way to trading in that rubber tire in the middle for a sleek torso.

Step 1

Remove the things in your diet that stress your liver and lower your metabolism, and reduce your calorie intake. A stressed liver cannot properly metabolize fat, says nutritionist Ann Louise Gittleman, Ph.D., author of “The Fat Flush Plan.” Liver stressors include processed foods, too many carbohydrates in general, all forms of sugar, artificial sweeteners, caffeine, trans fats, and soda. Cut 500 to 1,000 calories from your daily diet to lose 1 to 2 lbs. weekly, the safest and longest-lasting weight loss rate, according to the Mayo Clinic.

Step 2

Drink 100 percent cranberry juice or cran water. Cranberries are high in organic acids that act as digestive enzymes. The enzymes work to gobble up little fatty deposits that get stuck in the lymphatics, Gittleman says. Mix a day’s supply of cran-water with 8 oz. unsweetened cranberry juice and 56 oz. of water.

Step 3

Consume your omega-3 fatty acids. These target tummy fat, Gittleman says. Fish oil is one great source. Take 6g, which is an overflowing tablespoon, or eat salmon or mackerel twice a week. Also, chomp on chia. This ancient super seed is high in protein, is a good source of B vitamins, has calcium, and is a high source of antioxidants.

Step 4

Get gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) into your diet. GLA activates brown fat, often found in overweight people. Many people’s bodies don’t make GLA from its precursors-vegetable oils like safflower oil-so try a supplement. CLA aids the body in accessing and utilizing stored fat, particularly. This omega-6 fatty acid is found in organic beef or can be taken as a supplement.

Step 5

Make monounsaturated fats another priority. MUFAs are omega-9 fatty acids that became important components of diet plans like the Flat Belly Diet following studies that show MUFAs rev body fat burn in the belly. MUFAs also are favored by the American Heart Association. The association recommends people replace trans and saturated fats with MUFAs. Cook with olive oil or try sunflower or safflower oil. Eat macadamia nuts, filberts, avocados, and olives.

Step 6

Sip lemon or lime juice in hot water daily. These both invigorate the liver and help to liquefy fat, which aids in flushing it from your system more quickly. Getting enough water, in general, is important. Mild dehydration can cause your kidneys to call on your liver for help, reducing the liver’s ability to burn fat. This can lead to fat deposits, often in the belly.

Step 7

Detox gently by drinking dandelion tea. Add 200mg each of milk thistle and the Oregon grape root to further detox. These supplements are gentle enough to use every day, Gittleman says.

Step 8

Eat thermogenic spices to rev metabolism including cayenne and ginger. Consume cinnamon as well as cloves and cardamom to stabilize blood sugar.
