'Diet Solution' not best health solution

ORLANDO, Fla. -

The weight loss industry is a multi-billion dollar industry for a reason. People are always trying to find a way to drop those extra pounds,

There's a diet phenomenon on the Internet that calls itself the solution to the nation's dieting troubles.

The Diet Solution promises you'll burn 10 percent of your unwanted weight in body fat in 30 days.

In its online video it criticizes other diets for being misleading, saying, "The problem is its mixed in among a bunch of ridiculous misinformation, hypes, and scams."

Online, this diet is everywhere. And when you Google "diet solution," "diet solution review", and "diet solution scam", the links you find send you right back to the diet's homepage and sales video.

So with all of the program's own hype, Local 6 wanted to know is the diet really a solution?

One claim of The Diet Solution is that, "Most people are not eating enough calories."

Dr. Susan Hewlings, a nutritionist and professor at the University of Central Florida disagrees with that statement.

She does however say that we don't eat enough of the right calories, instead relying on processed foods, sugary drinks or "empty calories that have no value."

But processed is not the same as pasteurized.

The Diet Solution claims that along with organic proteins and specialty grains and oils, dieters should be drinking raw dairy.

That's a choice Dr. Hewlings calls dangerous and potentially deadly.

"That's probably the most remiss part of the diet," said Hewlings.

But eating high quality foods is not enough. The Diet Solution claims you need to select the foods that your body burns best.

Once you buy the program and take the metabolic quiz, The Diet Solution claims you'll know which foods to choose.

Hewlings says while we all have different metabolic types, the science of food and nutrition is not yet at a point where that can be determined by a simple test.

Local 6's Bridgett Williams asked Hewlings to go through that quiz which asked about times of day you get hungry, personality type, and whether you like hot or cold.

"People love quizzes," said Hewlings. "The whole diet is an excellent marketing plan, they've done a great job at appealing to what most dieters are looking for."

But when Hewlings watched the online sales video, she could not find enough facts to support those claims.

"That's the thing, again, partial truths," said Hewlings.

The video shows orange juice and wheat breads and says, "These are foods that can cause you to gain, not lose weight."

Hewling responded to that claim by saying, "It's making it so extreme, like orange juice is a bad guy, like orange juice is bad for you.  It's presented here like its bad to have blood glucose, it's not."

The video also shows a stick of butter and says, "Want to know the truth? The right kind of fat will actually burn a ridiculous amount of fat off your body."

Hewlings responded to that saying, "Are they (processed margarines and oil) preventing you from losing fat? No. Eating too much and not exercising is preventing you from losing weight."

Hewlings gave The Diet Solution a C grade saying she agreed with some of the basic ideas, but was disappointed in the lack of science and research to back up the claims.

Diet Coke. David Greene likes it.

I would like to rise up today in defense of Diet Coke. All diet sodas, in fact. But Diet Coke happens to be my favorite.

I like the stuff.

Cracking open a can of it, or pouring some over ice, helps me survive a long work day.

This love of Diet Coke is one reason my re-entry into the United States has been a little rocky. When I moved back recently after a reporting assignment in Russia, nobody warned me that war had been declared on Diet Coke.

The artillery was fired by Men's Health magazine.

I had heard the old argument that Diet Coke doesn't live up to its billing as a diet-helper.

But now, in the magazine, comes the accusation that diet sodas make you eat more?

The magazine cited a study, claiming that if you give up regular soft drinks and start downing diet soda, you end up eating more desserts, more bread and you get fatter.

I'm willing to take serious advice about better eating. Goodness knows, battling obesity is one of the most serious challenges in the U.S. today.

But living abroad helped me to see just how obsessed we are in the U.S. about giving each other tips about what not to put in our mouths.

Just for fun, here are a few other gems from Men's Health.

If you're hung over, choose asparagus.

I'll quote the magazine: "When South Korean researchers exposed a group of human liver cells to asparagus extract, it suppressed free radicals and more than doubled the activity of two enzymes that metabolize alcohol."

Really?

OK, how about this one: Practice total recall. The magazine quotes British scientists who said if you think about your last meal before snacking, you'll remember how satisfying that meal was, and you'll be less in the mood to snack.

I call baloney.

I can't remember the last time thinking back to my ham and cheese sandwich suddenly made me less interested in the pretzels on my desk.

Definitely my favorite: Turn off the TV. The magazine says people who watch TV during a meal chow down almost 300 calories more than a non-TV watcher.

I know I'm no scientist. But I'm sorry. If you're listening to this radio program while eating a fat-free yogurt, can we jump to the conclusion that radio-listening will make you a healthier eater?

Count me as unconvinced.

02-02-2012 12:10 When Laura Dziak first started CrossFit, she was mildly concerned about bulking up. What preoccupied her more, however, was doing a workout as RX'd. Today, she's gained a total of 15 lb. of muscle but is still a Size 0. As a member of CrossFit Reston in Virginia, the former model ditched her old image for a new one. "I would not say that being muscular or being fit was encouraged as a model," Dziak says. "It was all about being skinny, being a Size 0, double 0. That whole skinny-fat thing that exists where a girl is a Size 0 but she's got no tone on her was completely acceptable." Not only has her body changed "for the better" since starting CrossFit, but Dziak also competed for the first time last year. In the end, she didn't make the box's team, which finished 23rd at last year's Games, but she was an alternate. "Just daily activities, I feel so much more confident doing things, lifting things that I think the average girl would shy away from," she says. 5min 45sec HD file size: 180 MB SD wmv file size: 72 MB SD mov file size: 63 MB

In a trailer behind Ward Elementary School, students may be doing two of the best things they can for their future: reading and exercising.

Since 2009 the school has collected donated exercise bicycles for a program called “Read and Ride.” Teachers bring in classes, usually 15 minutes at a time, to burn off energy and read donated magazines propped up on book holders attached to the bikes.

Some weeks no one comes in, said school counselor Scott Ertl, who came up with the idea and oversees the program. Other weeks – especially the rainy ones 20 classes use the bikes, he said.

“So many (students) associate reading with sitting at their desk,” fourth-grade teacher Katie Garcia said recently, as her class pedaled away. “It kind of opens their eyes that they can pull out a book and read anywhere.”

These blended exercise-learning programs appear to be rare in the United States, and Ward Elementary’s program is the only one in the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County school district. One teacher at Kernersville Middle School sits students on exercise balls instead of chairs, but that’s about it for in-class workouts, said Nancy Sutton, health and physical education specialist for the district.

But data – albeit limited data -- from similar programs suggest they can make a massive difference, not only with student health, but with education.

A Canadian teacher named Allison Cameron put exercise bikes and treadmills in her high school classroom in 2007. Three days a week Cameron split language arts classes into 20 minutes of exercise and 20 minutes of regular teaching.

Sometimes students would read as they exercised, but often they’d just chat or listen to music, she said.

The other two days of the week Cameron added pushups and situps to math classes, she said. All this exercise was in addition to regular physical education classes at the school, and the results “blew me out of the water,” Cameron said.

Body mass indexes went down and test scores went up, particularly in writing, according to data posted on Cameron’s website. An eighth-grade class keeping to Cameron’s “Movement Matters” program improved its writing test scores 245 percent over a school year, she said.

Another eighth-grade class at the school, which didn’t do the program, saw its writing test scores go down over the same period, she said.

“The only thing different in these groups of students' day was that language arts was replaced by Movement Matters (for) 20 minutes, three times a week,” Cameron said in an email. “While the students of the participating group were exercising, the other group was spending the entire 40-minute Language Arts period on academics.”

Cameron said participating students also behaved better and had fewer sick days. And as she exercised alongside them, Cameron said students “let their guards down, and this brand new relationship started to form."

Cameron said the program was so obviously successful that, at her principal’s suggestion, she stopped keeping statistics and focused on expanding it. She has since established similar programs at hundreds of schools in Canada, she said.

In the United States, Ward Elementary’s “Read and Ride” program seems to be one of the first of its kind. Ertl said he’s looked online and talked the program up at national conferences without hearing of many similar ones.

He hasn’t kept data on student test scores, and Ward’s physical education teacher said she couldn’t draw any conclusions about its effect on health.

But Ward’s program is completely voluntary, and thus hard to quantify. Teachers have to take time away from regular lessons to let their students ride, and many have not embraced the concept, Ertl and Sutton said.

Many are concerned that the burst of energy children get when they start cycling will make them harder to control when it’s time to return to class, but research shows the opposite, Sutton said. Other teachers may be worried about losing instruction time to exercise, Ertl said.

Russell Jones Elementary School in Rogers, Ark., has a more regimented program than Ward Elementary’s, but school physical education teacher Lowell Ratzlaff said he believes the school got the idea for the program from Ertl.

Ratzlaff said he had two fourth-grade classes reading and cycling three days a week. Each of those classes averaged 113 to 118 points growth in state reading benchmarks, he said. Classes that didn’t participate in the program averaged 71 to 79 points growth, he said.

“Anytime you do anything in a school like that, there are a lot of variables,” Ratzlaff said. “But we didn’t do anything different with them, other than the ride to read.”

Naperville Central High School in Illinois found similar results, according to an ABC News report in April 2010. That school moved physical education to the start of the school day and put stationary bicycles in classrooms. Reading scores have nearly doubled, and math scores are up “by a factor of 20,” ABC News reported.

Broader scientific research has drawn a direct line between exercise and brain function. Harvard Medical School professor John Ratey has written extensively on the subject, saying exercise makes the human brain “more ready to learn.” Another study found that mice exercising on treadmills had increased blood flow to the part of their brains associated with the production of new brain cells.

Which means that it’s entirely possible 10-year-old Wanya Martin, a fourth grader at Ward Elementary, was directionally correct when he offered this assessment of the school’s Read and Ride program: “Helps with my brain muscle.”

Q: My husband was diagnosed last year with Parkinson's disease. Recently, he has noticed more difficulty getting around the house. Are there any exercise programs available here to help him improve his mobility?

A: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a chronic and progressive movement disorder, meaning that the symptoms of the disorder will worsen over time.

It is caused by a problem with the nerve cells in the brain that make an important chemical called dopamine. Dopamine is responsible for sending signals to the part of the brain that controls muscle movement and coordination. With PD, there is a breakdown of these cells, and they can no longer generate dopamine. As the disease progresses, the amount of dopamine produced in the brain decreases, leaving a person unable to control movement normally.

The most common symptoms of PD are tremors, slowness of movement, stiffness of the limbs and trunk, and impaired balance and coordination. The symptoms might seem very mild in the beginning, and the progression can vary from person to person. It is never too early to begin addressing the physical, cognitive and emotional limitations caused by PD, and it is wonderful you are looking to be proactive in helping your husband to maintain good mobility.

Although the neurological damage due to PD cannot be reversed, maintaining muscle tone and function is a very important aspect in the treatment of the disease in order for someone to maintain independence and quality of life.

Medication can be used for symptom relief and to minimize adverse effects, but a growing number of studies suggest the exercise approach brings greater benefits for functional performance in individuals with PD than relying on medication alone.

You might be interested to know that in order to increase the availability, quality and standardization of PD-specific exercise programs in the Black Hills region, many Regional Health physical and occupational therapists have attended, or will be attending, NeuroFit's Parkinson Wellness Recovery (PWR) program - a PD-exercise expert training program.

PWR incorporates the Exercise4BrainChange model in the form of exercise and enrichment to target not only the physical deficits of PD, but also cognitive and emotional functioning. It is a program based on the latest basic and clinical science research on neuroplasticity and learning. It has been proven to have the ability to delay disease onset, slow disease progression, restore motor function and increase longevity and quality of life. Its goal is to promote "neurofitness for life" and hopefully eliminate end-stage Parkinson's disease.

Therapy teams throughout the Regional Health network include Custer Regional Hospital, Lead-Deadwood Regional Hospital, Regional Rehabilitation Institute, Spearfish Regional Hospital and Sturgis Regional Hospital; all are prepared to partner with patients and families in response to the growing needs of our population with Parkinson's disease.

An athlete might notice that his or her muscles or joints are sore after exercising, which can cause a lot of pain, and hinder his or her athletic ability. Soreness after working out or playing sports is fairly common, and can happen to an athlete regardless of age or athletic ability. In order for an athlete to continue participating in sports or exercise programs, he or she must treat the muscle soreness immediately once it develops.

Here are three ways that an athlete can treat exercise soreness, which can help him or her resume normal activities within days.

Keep Moving

An athlete that is experiencing soreness after exercise should keep moving, which is one of the best treatment options available. If an athlete notices that his or her muscles are sore after exercise, he or she should not just go in and sit on the couch for the next few days, since this can cause the muscles to stiffen up. If an athlete keeps moving, he or she is more likely to notice a decrease in the discomfort, because moving can actually decrease the joint inflammation. An athlete should not be going out and participating in intense sports, but he or she should make an effort to take a 10 minute walk at least twice a day, which can keep the muscles flexible during the soreness.

Apply Heat and Ice at Regular Intervals

An athlete should also make sure to apply heat and ice to the area of the body where the soreness is occurring, and this should be done at least three times each day. In the first few days after the soreness has started, an athlete should be using a cold ice compress on the affected area, but he or she should only keep the ice on for 20 minutes at a time. Once the first few days of soreness have passed, an athlete should begin using heat compresses around the sore areas, which can help increase blood circulation, and decrease the discomfort or pain. Applying heat and ice to the sore areas can help treat the muscles or joints where the pain is coming from, and can also help alleviate inflammation or swelling around the area. It might also feel good for an athlete to take a hot bath after the first few days of soreness, which can provide relief to the entire body.

Get a Sports Massage

An athlete can also get a sports massage, which can help alleviate soreness after exercising, and can help him or her feel refreshed. Sports massages are great because the professional can target specific areas on the body, and also provide a more general massage to soothe muscles. If an athlete notices that the soreness is in the back, then he or she should focus the sports massage on this specific area. Sports massages can relieve tension, decrease pain and inflammation, and can also prevent spasms from occurring. An athlete should get a sports massage within the first couple of days after noticing the soreness, and should continue to get the massages weekly, in order to prevent further soreness down the road. If an athlete decides to get a sports massage, he or she can expect to have increased flexibility, and he or she will be more relaxed overall.
