"Wouldn't it be nice to find a diet that insists you stop fretting over carbs, fats and calories? Well a diet wouldn't be a diet unless it had rules. So what if the rules focused on combining fiber with lean protein at every meal? This is entirely possible, according to Tanya Zuckerbrot, author of "

"Tanya Zuckerbrot has spent more than a decade working with busy, successful clients who want and need to lose weight. She's watched fad diets come and go, offering only a temporary fix-and a lot of misinformation about healthy eating. To this end, Tanya has developed a plan that makes losing weight and keeping it off easy and convenient. Her healthy, delicious, sustainable diet redefines fiber as an essential piece to achieving weight loss with the added benefits of an energy boost, lowering cholesterol, and reducing the risk of metabolic diseases."

"The F-Factor Diet is made up of 3 simple stages, each including a wide array of foods, packed full of fiber and available in any supermarket. She also hand-picks specialty products that compliment the high fiber goal of her plan and come nicely equipped with good taste! The F-Factor Diet also includes more than seventy-five delicious recipes-and a complete set of guidelines for those who don't cook."

"Beyond her refreshing approach to easy weight loss -- Tanya Zuckerbrot, M.S., R.D., is a nutritionist in private practice, based in New York City and Miami Beach. She serves on the advisory boards of "

"1. A. In respect of the comment: â??â?¦lowering cholesterol, and reducing the risk of metabolic diseasesâ?¦â?"

"(2006) Anthony Colpo [Author of â??The Great Cholesterol CONâ? â??Why everything Youâ??ve been told about cholesterol, diet and heart disease is wrongâ??]."

"It is entirely possible to be thin & healthy or fat & healthy â?¦ whichever â??lookâ?? You prefer â?¦ but which â??metabolic diseasesâ?? Type 2 â??insulin-resistantâ?? diabetes â?¦ a disease?"

"Transient supernormal glycaemia â??TSGâ?? occurs in every Human Being as a healthy and natural response to stress [â??adaptive medicineâ??] and may well increase HgA1c â?¦ so what? â?¦ when glucose levels surge up for a transient period [and then down again] an above average HgA1c can just as easily be viewed as a marker for a very healthy â??stress adaptedâ?? Human Being who has the benefit of being â??insulin-resistantâ??."

"B. What is the most definitive study which substantiates the benefit of reducing HgA1c in drug/insulin treated acute&chronic 'insulin-resistant diabetes' [Type 2] â?¦ as compared with treatment-free [drug/insulin] acute&chronic 'insulin-resistant diabetes' [ie in a ZERO drug (repeat zero) treatment control Group]? {ps please note the word written there says: â??zeroâ?} ie completely ignoring HgA1c value variabilityâ?¦"

"... Am seeking a â??peer reviewedâ?? study that clearly disassociates drug/insulin treatment from any changes in Patient behaviour [eg diet/exercise] and/or categorically proves that drug/insulin treated acute&chronic 'insulin-resistant diabetes' is healthier than doing absolutely nothing [â??zeroâ??] ie just accepting the higher HgA1c value and [possibly beneficial] blood glucose value [and possibly beneficial â??insulin resistanceâ?]; and"

"C. What is the most definitive study which provides incontrovertible evidence that the apparent insulin receptor mediated down-regulation [in response to: transient supernormal glycaemia â??TSGâ??] is anything substantially other than a stress-adaptive mechanism of 'local' [on a cell-by-cell basis] intracellular cyto-protection from influx of excessive [blood] circulating glucose [ie homeostasis] eg cardio muscle protective?"
