Interesting article on fat loss
Lesley Walker
since I suspect they're mostly snake oil merchants, but I just happened
to notice this interesting article today:
> ST. PAUL, Minn.-Most people don't realize when a person loses weight,
> they lose fat and muscle, but new research indicates dairy foods may
> actually help dieters keep the muscle and lose even more fat.

"beer or red wine is good for you
etc etc" to sell more stuff
but adequate calcium and protein (not more than 200grams a day because
any excess is merely excreted) is essentail
I certainly eat a lot of skimmed milk and modestamounts of cheese
I was in LIDL and thrilled to get some KVARK
AKA fromage blanc
which is fermented skimmed milk

is a biased veiw of milk although some truth in what is said - but I
will dispute the conclusion
(all milkis unhealthy)
Dr. Werner Zabel is one of the most famous European nutrition
oriented doctors. He is a cancer specialist and director of his
own famous clinic in Berchtesgaden. In his clinic all patients
are given what Dr. Zabel calls an optimum diet. Number one source
of protein in this diet is what Europeans call "kvark", a
homemade cottage cheese, made from low-fat, raw milk. Kvark is
made in the following manner. Lactobacillus acidophilus culture
is added to fresh raw milk. When the milk is coagulated by the
action of the bacteria, the cream that settles on the top is
removed and all the curds are separated from the milk by running
it through a fine sieve. The resulting low-fat cottage cheese is
a very natural, unheated product, a very easily digested protein
of the highest biological value. A pint of such cottage cheese
contains about 100 grams of protein.
Of course, in European clinics, they also use the whey, which is
the liquid that is left over after the curds are taken away. Whey
is an extremely important food. It contains the minerals of the
milk and the milk sugar, lactose. It also contains a very
important substance, orotic acid, known to help in the
regeneration of a damaged liver.
<<and thsi kind of mono diet is dangerous and boring
my mother lived ot be 90 years and swore by a GOOD MIXED DIET
(ie fruit vegetables meat bread diary products)
wine and sprits too
personally I seldom eat yoghurt prefering to keep to low fat cottage
cheese and skimmed or "mini" milk
"Quark" is spelled "kvark" in Swedish and does mean a type of curd
cheese. ...

you MUST NOT lose muscle because your heart is THE muscle
GENTLE exercise will improve everything
listen to your body - know your limitations
but no pain no gain
