Top Ten Links of the Week 7 31 10 – 8 5 10

Today, its lots of righteous indignation, a little Homer Simpson, and a kitteh who vastly overestimates his jumping skills.

1) Consumerist: This is What You Eat
Neatorama: Average Daily Food Intake of Homer Simpson
Ever wonder what your normal, everyday American eats in a full year? This colorful, easy-to-read graphic breaks it down. Somewhat sadly, we consume almost as much dairy as we do produce. Somewhat happily, we scarf much less floor pie than Homer Simpson.

2) Salon: Why is America So Fixed on Food Fads?
Fantastic exploration of the links between U.S. food fads (Cakeballs! Bahn Mi! Pork belly!) and our “frontier mentality,” a mix of breaking immigrant traditions and embracing scientific developments. Another great piece by Riddhi Shah, who is quickly becoming a favorite around here.

3) Washington Post: Michelle Obama – A Food Bill We Need
MObama argues for the passage of the Child Nutrition Bill, a major step in addressing the obesity problem amongst kids. How can anyone can be opposed to this? (I’m looking at you, Laura Ingraham.) Healthier kids = good thing.

4) stonesoup: The Minimalist Guide to Cooking With Herbs
Ooo! It’s Herbs 101, including a guide to common varieties, substitutes, preparation, and storage. Very handy for rosemary lovers. (And, coincidentally, Rosemary Clooney lovers.)

5) Salon: Does High Fructose Corn Syrup Cause Cancer?
In which Francis Lam argues (with Marion Nestle’s backup) that it’s not necessarily the kinds of sugar we consume, but the quantities in which we consume them. Empty calories are empty calories the world over, it turns out.

6) The Atlantic Food: The Combo Meal Mindset
Lest we forget the restaurant industry is, in fact, a luxury business (so to speak), Hank Cardello reminds us: “[It] cannot be expected to lead the charge to slim down America.”

7) Wall Street Journal: Michael Pollan Explains the Math of Buying $8 Eggs
Yeah, it’s another Pollan interview. But this one’s worth the read! I promise! The Big Man of Berkeley lays out his own eating and shopping habits, highlighting some good buying strategies along the way. Peaches!

8) Chicago Tribune: Grains make gains - Wheat surpasses white in sliced bread sales
Yay! Whole wheat products are great! Right?

9) Consumerist: Whole Grain Wheat Things Are No Healthier Than Regular Ones
Oh, wait. Nope.

10) Daily Mail UK: Junk food starts allergies - Western high-fat diets are blamed for surge in illnesses
Hey! Scientists “found evidence that industrialised Western diets high in red meat, sugar and fat lowered the numbers of healthy bacteria in our guts,” and contributed to the skyrocketing allergy rate among first-world countries. Cue sad trombone.

Top 10 Links of the Week 7 2 10 – 7 8 10

This week, its lots of pretty pictures, a gaggle of perspectives on a failed Soda Tax, and two very off-the-beaten-path takes on vegetarianism. Excelsior!

1) Dark Roasted Blend
Kitchen Appliances That Bite
Spectacularly Creative Ads, Issue 13
I loathe the overuse of “amazing,” but Dark Roasted Blend’s image roundups always merit the word. The first comp is full of cool, newfangled cooking equipment, while the second is another installation in a running series of ads. Both are totally worth the 15-minute coffee break.

2) Tip Hero: Little Known Uses for Fruit Peels, Shells, and Seeds
Holy moly! My fellow frugal foodies, you’re gonna LOVE this piece. It turns out that peanuts, avocados, bananas, pomegranates, and more are way useful beyond their edible flesh. Read it and cheer.

3) Kitchen Bitsch: On Carnivore Guilt
In which author Summerlin, the daughter of a farmer, finds herself torn between her appreciation for meat and her affection for the animals she’s raised.

4) Zachary Burt: Vegetarians Are Just Big Pussies
In which author Zach, decries his former Real Men Eat Meat perspective and embraces vegetarianism.

5) Salon: Men eat meat, women eat chocolate - How food gets gendered
Beef is manly. Wine is for the ladies. If you ever wondered if these stereotypes were the product of genetics, evolution, culture, or really good advertising, read this now. Riddhi Shah’s thoughtful piece raises good questions, and provides a few good answers, as well.

6) Village Voice: Soda Tax Dies As Beverage Industry Outspends Health Groups
I don’t know whether this is a health travesty or a triumph of individual will, but New York defeated the proposed levy on soda (or pop, for you Buffalonians). Somewhat non-shockingly, the beverage industry may have had a massive hand in its downfall. Marion Nestle and Casual Kitchen’s Dan give their thoughts.

7) The Simple Dollar: Nine Tactics That Work for Starting Food Preparation at Home
Can’t bring yourself to cook in your own kitchen? Convinced takeout is cheaper? Hate chopping? Trent has a handful of simple strategies to make the eat-at-home process much easier. (Siblings of mine! Read this!)

8) New York Times: Triumph of the Egg
Wondering how hot it’s been in NYC? The Times crew cooked breakfast on the sidewalk. Mmm … concrete-flavored omelet.

9) Politics of the Plate: An Offer Americans Can—And Will—Refuse
I’ve debated getting into the illegal immigrant brouhaha on this blog, because it’s generally a happy, bi-partisan, la-la-la kind of place, and I’m not sure I want to interrupt that. But man, I love the third story here.

10) Wise Bread: Organic Groceries on a Budget

8 Hormonal Determinants Of Weight Gain

Several hormones play an important role in the process of weight loss. There are a number should be reduced, there should also be reduced or suppressed production in the body. Here it is eight hormones that are key to get the ideal body shape and weight, and how to optimize it.

1. Ghrelin
This hormone is produced in the stomach and working together with the brain to signal hunger. Efforts to reduce calories in order to lose weight, increase the amount of this hormone in the body. Even after 12 months of ongoing low-calorie diet, research shows that ghrelin levels remained elevated. In other words, your body will always be difficult to adapt to eating less and are constantly sending hunger signals. This is why maintaining a healthy weight is more difficult than lower it.

The good news, the number of ghrelin in the body can be reduced. High intensity exercise such as aerobics, kickboxing or jogging beneficial decrease ghrelin levels. That is why physical exercise is key in eliminating fat and maintain ideal weight remains.

2. Leptin
This hormone is released by fat cells. Leptin interacts with the brain, tell your body to eat less and burn more calories. The more body fat you have, the greater the amount of leptin that is released - the condition is called leptin resistance. Do not consider this a good condition, because if the brain is released in excessive amounts it becomes resistant to leptin signaling. To maximize the sensitivity of the brain to leptin, and multiply to get a good intake of antioxidants by eating berries (strawberries, blueberries, cherries, grapes) and vegetables, green and red.

3. Adiponectin
Adiponectin is also one of the hormones that are released from fat cells. But unlike leptin, the body will lean more adiponectin is also produced by fat cells. This hormone increases the ability of muscle to use carbohydrates for energy, increase metabolism and suppress appetite.

You can maximize the level of adiponectin with more moves during the day and replace simple carbohydrates (white rice, chicken noodle, chicken porridge) into complex carbohydrates (brown rice, pasta, oatmeal). Also advisable to consume monounsaturated fats like olive oil and avocados.

4. Insulin
Insulin plays a crucial role in the body. This hormone is necessary for the recovery process after exercise, muscle building and maintaining blood sugar levels are optimal. However, when carbohydrate intake is too high and the production of insulin so crazy in the body, can inhibit the breakdown and burning of the accumulated fat. Insulin and carbohydrate are closely related. The more carbohydrates, more insulin is released.

In order for insulin to work more optimally reduce fat, consume carbohydrates from vegetables and fruits. Limit your consumption of white rice and flour into smaller portions.

5. Glucagon
Glucagon is a hormone that works opposite of insulin. If the insulin store carbohydrates and fats to form, glucagon responsible for the destruction of carbohydrate and fat deposits; release them so that your body can use it for energy. Consumption of foods high in protein and low in carbohydrates is the best way to maximize the release of glucagon.

6. CCK
Abbreviation of cholecystokinin, a hormone is released from cells into the intestine whenever you eat protein or fat. But CCK not only settled in the intestine. In contrast, CCK will work together with the nervous system and the stomach to slow down the digestive process. The result, youll feel full longer. In order to gain maximum benefit from these hormones, make sure you get protein and healthy fat from each food consumed.

7. Epinephrine

Epinephrine that will trigger the burning of fat released as energy for the body. This hormone can also resist the desire to eat. How to work a maximum of Epinephrine? The answer is exercise; physical activity encourages the release of epinephrine in the body.

8. Growth Hormone
Growth hormone or growth hormone, is often touted as the key to eternal youth. But the benefits not only that, growth hormone also helps in weight loss. This hormone interacts with the fat cells and ordered them to disintegrate and burn fat reserves for energy. Growth hormone can be increased in number with high-intensity exercise, circuit training (semi-cardio) and sleep quality.
