Personal Note from Dr. Ritamarie

September 28th, 2011 Volume 1, Issue 13

 

My Krispy Kreme Experience


On Saturday, I spent the morning at my 17-year old’s swim meet. I volunteered to be timer (I think that’s the best volunteer job because you get to see each race up close and personal).

The hosting team came over to tell us that if we were hungry there was breakfast for us — just come by on a break. Figuring maybe there would be some fruit, at the very least a banana, I headed over to the food area.

Krispy Kreme DoughnutsImagine my surprise when I found myself face to face with a box of — you guessed it — Krispy Kreme doughnuts.

Now, I haven’t been face to face with a doughnut in YEARS.

As I politely said, “No thanks,” all sorts of thoughts raced through my head. Is this for real? This is an athletic meet where we’re supposed to model good nutrition for the kids.

Little did these people know I’ve been doing a Bye-Bye Belly Fat campaign, and at the top of my list of “get rid of this quick” is donuts and other sugary processed food.

So I observed who was eating Krispy Kremes. And, for each subject, I did a little analytical comparison on the size around the person’s middle and whether there was a Krispy Kreme in hand. You can read all about my observations and the effects of Krispy Kremes on your metabolism in my feature article.

If doughnuts and “do not feel like it” obstacles mean you’ve been struggling with making exercise a priority in your life, listen in on last week’s interview with Michelle Melendez, fitness specialist (You’ll find the link in my Radio Shows Archive below). On the show she shared such gems as how to strengthen your thighs in between e-mails, how to shape your biceps without weight lifting, how to get started and keep motivated, and how to measure your progress and reward your success.

Laura FenamoreI cannot tell you how excited I am about this week’s radio show guest. I met Laura Fenamore just a couple of months ago and we instantly became close friends. Has that ever happened to you? Laura’s story is so moving, and the work she brings to the world is such a blessing!

Laura used to be 100 pounds overweight, yet you’d never know it to look at her. Today, she maintains her weight effortlessly, but it wasn’t always like that for Laura. She smoked, she drank too much, and she was bulimic. She tried all sorts of diets without success. She believed that she would live her life addicted and unhappy until she died. Then she discovered the reason for her destructive behavior and through a process she shares in her work, turned on the self-love switch. Everything changed.

Can you really love yourself thin? Find out how on my next edition of Vibrant Health Solutions Radio Show. Click here for details.

Also in this issue is a guest article by Midlife health expert Nina Price. Nina will be interviewing me in the first week in October in a call titled Leaky Gut: The Silent Saboteur of Your Midlife Mojo as part of the Cracking the Midlife Code II Summit.

I have a busy speaking schedule coming up this fall:

With great love, and gratitude,

Krispy Kreme – A Sure Fire Recipe for a Flabby Belly, Foggy Mind, and Fatigued Body


By Dr. Ritamarie Loscalzo


I don’t usually single out a single junk food manufacturer because there are so many to choose from, but because I was up close and personal to Krispy Kreme recently while volunteering as a timer at my son’s swim meet, I decided to do a little research and write about just what lurks beneath the shiny gooey cover.

Krispy Kreme DoughnutsOn the Krispy Kreme website they say:

For over 60 years, our customers have been enjoying Krispy Kreme doughnuts made from premium ingredients. The only animal byproducts used in our doughnut are eggs (whites and yolks) and dairy products (including milk, butter, yogurt, whey, nonfat milk and nonfat whey). Our doughnuts are cooked in 100% vegetable oil shortening (partially hydrogenated soybean and/or cottonseed oil). All monoglycerides, diglycerides and enzymes are vegetable based. The lecithin we use is soy based. We also use wheat in our doughnuts, including bran, germ, gluten, starch and flour. Our products may contain allergens.


So far, so bad… last I checked “partially hydrogenated vegetable oil” was not considered a “premium ingredient”.

Here’s the low down, the down and dirty, and, you guessed it, the actual ingredients. There are over 50 of them. Basically, when you bite into a Krispy Kreme you’re getting a chemical soup of mostly artificial food additives. Eating Krispy Kreme is a sure fire prescription for cancer, diabetes, heart disease, allergies, and digestive disorders. See for yourself:

Ingredients: Enriched bleached wheat flour- (contains bleached wheat flour, niacin, reduced iron, thiamine, mononitrate, riboflavin, folic acid), dextrose, vegetable shortening (partially hydrogenated soybean and/or cottonseed oil), water, sugar, soy flour, egg yolks, vital wheat gluten, yeast, nonfat milk, yeast nutrients (calcium sulfate, ammonium sulfate), dough conditioners (calcium dioxide, monocalcium and dicalcium phosphate, diammonium phosphate, sodium stearoyl-2-lacrylate, whey, starch, ascorbic acid, sodium bicarbonate, calcium carbonate), salt, mono-and-diglycerides, ethoxylated mono- and diglycerides, lecithin, calcium propionate (to retain freshness), cellulose gum, natural and artificial flavors, fungal alpha amylase, amylase, maltogenic amylase, pantosenase, protease, sodium caseinate, corn maltodextrin, corn syrup solids and BHT (to help protect flavor).


Glaze also may contain: Calcium carbonate, agar, locust bean gum, disodium phosphate, and sorbitan monostearate.


There’s a very detailed article here that goes into all the ingredients, and the negative effects of the additives and preservatives. Here’s a glimpse of just what the nutritional profile is for food from Krispy Kreme. Each doughnut is over 50% fat… none of it’s the good kind.

Krispy Kreme Nutritional Information
Click HERE to view chart.


What Happens When You Bite Into a Krispy Kreme?

Here’s a summary of the sequence of events.

  1. Your gut lining gets assaulted by gluten, dairy, and toxins, which may trigger inflammation in your intestines.
  2. The sugar enters your blood stream, triggering your pancreas to secret insulin.
  3. Insulin goes to work trying to get the sugar into your cells so they can produce energy. In this case one of two things may happen:
  • A flood of sugar enters your cells. Your cells make the energy they need and the rest of the sugar gets converted to fat.
  • If you have any degree of insulin resistance, the sugar will remain in your blood, triggering even more insulin, and the sugar form the donut will get converted to belly fat. The excess insulin will stiffen your arteries, damage your cells, cause inflammation, raise your blood pressure, increase your triglycerides, and heighten your risk of cancer.


My observation of the people at my son’s swim meet tells me that:

Lifestyle choices

  • A majority of people… more than 50% and perhaps more than 75% are overweight and/or have excess belly fat.
  • Not one person there was eating fruit, salad, or any fresh food.
  • They ate Krispy Kremes, cheese laden tacos on white flour tortillas, burgers, and pizza. And this was for breakfast!
  • The majority of the athletes were either overweight or normal weight with an overgrown midline.
  • The other timer volunteers happily downed the Krispy Kreme.


The sad part is, they aren’t making the connection between the processed food that is such common fare and the stroke, heart attack, cancer, ADD, and inflammatory diseases present in even the very youngest.

“Krispy Kreme is made with premium ingredients.”

Premium for what?

According to dictionary.com premium means “better than others in its class.” SO I suppose maybe they are better than Dunkin’ Donuts?

Hard to say, but the bottom line is stay away.

Insulin resistance is rampant in our society, as seen in the bellies of even our teens. Nip it in the bud. Do a 30-day insulin receptor reset and balance all the factors required to reverse insulin resistance and decrease your risk of heart attack, stroke, and diabetes.

I will teach a lot more about it in my new teleseminar:

How to Stop Insulin Resistance Before It Stops You

If you’re ready and feel you need the step-by-step guidance of a program to make it really happen, join me. Don’t let your taste buds put you at risk. Train them now to love the foods that love your body. No more Krispy Kreme, ok?

B4 Be Gone SystemAt first, you may feel resistance and loss when considering giving up a comfort food, but what you won’t know, can’t know until you try an insulin reset program, is how you’ll feel when you don’t have that chemical soup in your system. Whatever loss you anticipate is nothing, NOTHING compared to what you’ll gain when your energy returns, when your mind clears, and when your body is at its best.


I wish I could say that I’ve perfected the art of making a healthy doughnut, but the truth is it’s near impossible to create a natural, nutritious version of something that’s soooo artificial. We do have an awesome recipe for doughnut holes in Dessert: Making It Rich Without Oil, along with a collection of many other delicious, healthy enhancing sweet treats.


 

Guest Article for Midlifers:
Two Secrets for Having an Amazing, Healthy,
Energetic Midlife Body… and Life!


with guest author, Nina Price

Secrets for an Energetic Midlife BodyHave you ever found yourself wishing that you:

  • could sleep better
  • could lose weight more easily
  • had more energy
  • could look and feel more attractive
  • felt more sexy

Are you missing out on the life you really want because your midlife body is getting in your way, and you don’t always feel so great?

The truth is, taking care of your body is important, more important now that you’re in midlife, than ever before.  And the good news is, you can take incredibly good care of yourself and reap the rewards for years to come.

Here are 2 hot tips to help you:

#1 Embrace Change

Midlife is a time of change both inside and outside your body. Your hormones are changing which affects both your physical and emotional self. Other aspects of your life are most likely changing too: your children may be leaving home, your parents may be aging and passing on, your financial situation may be changing due to the economy, and your work may be changing too.

The important thing to remember is whether or not you like the results of the changes: don’t resist changes – embrace them. Being open to new possibilities makes it easier for you to evolve.

#2 Pay Attention to Your Body

Listen to Your Midlife BodyTake incredibly good care of your body, especially now that you’re in midlife. If you’re going to live another forty or fifty years, or more, you’ll need a body that will hold up and get you there.

Make sure that you’re making daily choices that nurture and care for your body. All your choices count: when and what you eat, how much you exercise, how you sleep, how you manage stress, even the supplements you take.

These tips are just the beginning. I’m hosting an online midlife health retreat in October called Cracking the Midlife Code II that will be full of helpful information you can use every day to take better care of yourself so you can have an amazing midlife body.

When you sign up for the Cracking the Midlife Code II series you’ll also get many more valuable tips and insights that will help you look better and feel better, offered by health professionals who work with exactly what you’re struggling with, every day. You’ll learn much more about what’s changing and how to embrace those changes, with strategies you can use to take really good care of yourself.

October 7th, 2011 – Leaky Gut:
The Silent Saboteur of Your Midlife Mojo


By the time you get to midlife the lining of your gut has suffered a myriad of abuses due to stress; alcohol and caffeine consumption; eating oxidized fats; and from taking prescription, over the counter, and recreational drugs.

If you have done any of these things and you haven’t taken the time to repair your gut, it most likely has lost its ability to filter toxins and properly absorb nutrients. When your digestive system reaches this stage, you may have a condition called “leaky gut”. While it’s surprisingly common, it’s nothing to take lightly. Join me for the Cracking the Midlife Code II health series to find out what you can do to heal your leaky gut and enjoy your midlife with passion and purpose.

Laura FenamoreGuest, Laura Fenamore, was 100 pounds overweight. She drank too much. She was bulimic. She smoked. She tried different diets without success. She believed that she would live her life addicted to food and unhappy until she died.

Then one day the unconditional love of a guardian angel brought her to a realization: All those dysfunctional behaviors sprang from a feeling that she was unloved. Most importantly, she realized she didn’t love herself. Laura flipped an internal switch.

She began down the path to love of self. Her heart opened. She let go of the self-destructive forces that made her hate what she saw in the mirror. She changed her behaviors and attained a healthy weight. She has maintained that healthy weight — and a healthy body image — for 24 years.

It’s time to learn how to love, accept and respect your body!

  • Have you tried everything but still feel inadequate, miserable and overweight?
  • Do you continually invest in diet books, corporate programs, fasting pills, counseling, your own will power…and nothing works?
  • Do you know you need something different but aren’t exactly sure what that is?
  • Are you seeking an answer and ready to take action?


Join Dr. Ritamarie and Laura Fenamore as they share tips and ways you can begin to love yourself and transform into the picture of health and beauty.

Burnout: Do You Know Where Your Energy is?

Burnout - Do You Know Where Your Energy is?Do you wake up after a long night’s sleep only to still feel exhausted?

You may very well be experiencing burnout.

Did you know that your organs and glands can suffer from fatigue? Your skin and immune system can too.

Often “exhaustion” is at a cellular level. When your skin is tired, you get outbreaks and slow wound healing. When your digestion becomes sluggish, you may experience constipation or indigestion. A fatigued immune system can’t adequately protect you from microbes and starts to attack itself. And a worn out liver is unlikely to be efficient at eliminating toxins.

Join Dr. Ritamarie and learn what influences may be making you tired at a cellular level.
