Calories In/Calories Out vs Carbohydrate Restriction - What Works Best?? Links and Show Notes

There is a long-established truism that weight loss is all about “calories in, calories out,” and along with it the apparently unshakeable assumption that all calories are created equal.


It’s all bunk. Sheer bunk. But it’s bunk with so much weight of belief behind it that it’s very hard to shake people’s faith in it, even people who should know better.


So, we’re still bombarded with propaganda from the calorie police. One of their favorites is to tell us that low-carb diets only work because they “trick” you or “fool” you into eating fewer calories, by making you feel less hungry. I have actually read exactly that: “Oh, that diet just works by making you less hungry.” As if that were a bad thing.


If that were true, I’d be okay with it. I mean, I’d rather be tricked or fooled into eating fewer calories by reducing my appetite than try to muster up the willpower to tolerate being ravenous half the time. (Oh, Lord, the memories. . . When I was in my mid-twenties, I worked at a health food store. Every day I’d buy my lunch from our cooler – a sandwich on whole grain bread, a bottle of juice, a piece of fruit or a whole grain, honey-sweetened cookie. Such a healthy lunch. By two o’clock I’d be starving.


But it’s simply untrue.


Unlike your car, which will happily run at sixty miles per hour until it sputters and dies for lack of fuel, your body is a complex living organism, with powerful homoeostatic mechanisms designed to keep you from starving to death. If you follow the common advice to just cut a hundred or two hundred calories per day, your body will simply burn a hundred or two hundred calories less per day – and you will have that much less energy.


Can you hear Dr. Atkins saying “I told you so” from the Great Beyond?

The CarbSmart Podcast - 17. Can Low-Carb Slow The Aging Process?

Can Low-Carb Slow The Aging Process? Links and Show Notes

We all know that carb restriction causes weight loss, controls blood sugar, and can help treat all of the ugly effects of metabolic syndrome.


But what if carb restriction could make you younger?

It should be noted that this is, to some degree, a reworking of an article I wrote in November of 2010. But the information is still fascinating and very useful. So, here we go.


In 2010, University of California gerontologist Cynthia Kenyon hit the news with an animal study showing exactly that she’d actually discovered what she calls the Grim Reaper gene and another she calls the Sweet 16 gene, Insulin. the switch that turns on the former and turns off the latter.


Insulin and insulin-like growth factor or IGF-1, which means that by cutting carbs and lowering insulin you can reverse the process, switching off the Grim Reaper gene and turning on your Sweet 16 gene.


Or, at least she can in roundworms. Dr. Kenyon started with roundworms. presumably because A) they’re inexpensive and plentiful, and B) they have short lifespans. I mean, you try this stuff on a Galapagos tortoise and you’ll be passing the experiment on to your great-grandchildren. But roundworms generally hit old age in 18 days and croak by 20 days.


Dr. Kenyon managed to extend some of their lifespans to 144 days. That’s like you or me making it to 450 years. Woo hoo! Many people tell me that they don’t want to live to be old. I have long aspired to make it to at least 120. When I tell people this, they look at me as if I just said I was planning to paint my house fuchsia or wanted to take a vacation to Chornobyl.

The CarbSmart Podcast - 14. What About Cheat Days On Your Low-Carb Lifestyle?

What About Cheat Days on Your Low-Carb Lifestyle? Links and Show Notes

“How often should I have a cheat day?” There seems to be an assumption that cheat days are a good idea, something that should be built into a low-carb diet to keep people from feeling deprived.


I beg to differ.


Indeed, I’m not sure where the idea of a cheat day even comes from.


Obviously, it’s meant to appeal to people who cannot imagine just giving up carbs, not eating their favorite carby foods again. But people seem to think it’s a good idea, and that I cannot see.


I have written of the occasional indulgence – a term I prefer to cheat. “Cheat” implies that you’ll get away with something, and you never, ever do. Your body will notice. And I admit to a few handfuls of potato chips at a party now and then. I recall a cousin’s wedding where I ate a mini-chocolate cheesecake about an inch-and-a-half in diameter – maybe fifteen years ago.


When I first started, I would have an Indulgence for a holiday meal like Thanksgiving dinner – but I would eat a high protein breakfast that morning, eat one modest serving only of the carbs that really mattered to me – and be done. No leftover potatoes or stuffing or pie that night or over Thanksgiving weekend. Nuh-uh.


But never a whole day! And never a weekly, or bi-weekly, or even monthly thing. That way lies madness, not to mention failure.


Why? I’ll respond with a question of my own: If someone you loved was fighting alcoholism and had finally gotten sober, would you suggest that they have a cheat day once a week – start the day with mimosas, down some beers with lunch, go through a bottle or two of wine at dinner – and then expect them to be right back on the wagon the next day? No?


How about a two-pack-a-day smoker? If they finally managed to quit, would you suggest that they have a smoking day every couple of weeks so they wouldn’t feel deprived?


This is no way to kick an addiction.

The CarbSmart Podcast - 25. Isn’t it Important to Eat a Balanced Diet?
play

02/02/25 • 16 min

Isn't it important to eat a balanced diet?

How many times have you been told it's important to eat a balanced diet? Doctors, mom, health class, magazine articles, everywhere.


Remember to eat a balanced diet. It's been repeated so often that it's accepted without a thought. Except, of course, by me, you, and our low-carb ilk. Let's talk about it.


Like, subscribe, and hit that notification bell because you don't want to miss a single episode.


Isn't it important to eat a balanced diet?


Well, maybe. The big question is, what the heck is a balanced diet? The phrase doesn't seem to have any concrete meaning. Certainly, it varies from species to species. A balanced diet for a tiger would be very different from a balanced diet for a rabbit. Similarly, historically, human diets would have varied dramatically from region to region and from season to season.


Is the government, my plate, successor to the food pyramid, a balanced diet?


It suggests more of some kinds of foods, particularly grains, than others. Is it balanced to eat six to ten one-ounce servings of grains a day, but only five or six one-ounce portions of protein foods? Is it balanced to omit fats entirely as a food group and recommend low-fat or fat-free dairy, restricting saturated fat to 10 percent of calories?


Remember that there are essential fats, but the essential level of grain intake, and of carbs in general, is zero.


Remember hardcore low-fat diets, some as low as 10 percent of calories from fat, Ornish, Pritikin, those guys? I never heard “not balanced” thrown at them. Many of the same people are now pushing a plant-based diet, i.e. vegetarian or vegan diet, nearly devoid of saturated fat and cholesterol.


I find it incredible that we could increase our intake of any highly concentrated substance by over 2,000 percent in 200 years time, the increase in American sugar consumption between 1800 and 2000, and not have it be a health threat. Heck, if we drank that much more water, it might be a danger.


Two better questions would be:

What diet comes closest to that on which the human race evolved?

And, What diet makes my own personal body work best?

The CarbSmart Podcast - 16. Serenity Prayer for a Dedicated Low Carber
play

Serenity Prayer for a Dedicated Low Carber Links and Show Notes

Years ago, a reader told me that they admired me because I had stuck with my low-carb diet even though it had not given me the body of my dreams. Surely you’re familiar with the Alcoholics Anonymous Serenity Prayer – “God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.” I don’t care if you’re a praying person or not, nor to whom you pray if you are. But there is something important here.


Growing Up Overweight

When I was a kid, I desperately wanted to look like my Skipper doll. (Is Skipper still around? She was Barbie’s little sister.) I wanted to look like the girls in the magazines. I wanted clothes to fit me the way they fit Skipper, the way they fit the models in Young Miss and Tiger Beat (yes, I am that old).


They never did, and I never did. I could grow my hair to look more like Skipper’s, and I could even lose weight – I was on Weight Watchers starting at age eleven. But the hip clothes just didn’t look so hip on my body. I went straight from having the body of a child to having the body of a matron; I never had a gamine phase.


The things we can change and the things we cannot.

I could and did change my diet, my mental and physical health, my size. I learned to dress to flatter the body I have. But my skeleton? That sucker is literally graven in stone. There’s no changing it.


So there it is: my low-carb diet cannot give me the body of my dreams. Nor can exercise. Hell, radical surgery couldn’t do it, and pain, risk, and expense aside, at sixty-three it seems beside the point.

Let’s Go On A Low-Carb Memorial Day Cookout with Dana Carpender CarbSmart Podcast Episode 9

Hey gang, you know what’s coming up? A holiday that doesn’t torpedo our diets! Boy, you gotta love Memorial Day weekend. Not only is it the official beginning of summer, not only do most of us have a long weekend off, not only will Miss Manners grant you permission to wear white shoes after this weekend, but it’s a holiday that isn’t centered around junk food.


Yippee! Indeed, what with all that cooking out, Memorial Day weekend is just made for low carbers. Add to that the fact that many of us have outdoor activities planned. Camping, hiking, biking, boating, volleyball, or just tossing a frisbee around, and you come up with a fun celebration where you might even drop a pound or two.

Your Low-Carb Cookout Menu

Of course, you know that you can have all the grilled steak, burgers, and chicken you want, and ain’t that an improvement over the low-fat diet. But don’t forget about all the other grilling possibilities. How about a whole salmon stuffed with shredded scallions and herbs and paper-thin slices of lemon?


Tuna steaks, a boned, rolled leg of lamb, or how about pork chops? I’ve even been known to smoke a whole-brained turkey on my propane grill. Heavens. And it serves a crowd inexpensively. Hot dogs, brats, and smoked sausage are all popular grilling foods but approach these processed meats with caution. Anytime meat has been ground up and reformed, odds are that some sort of sugar has been added.

Hot Dogs, Brats, and Smoked Sausage

Doesn’t mean you can’t eat dogs, brats, or smoked sausage, but it does mean that you want to read the labels and choose the ones with the least added carb. Hot dogs run from one gram of carb per link All the way up to six grams, that’s a six hundred percent difference. For that extra five grams, you could have another light beer.


Brats and smoked sausage tend to run between one-half and one gram of carb per ounce. And you know you’re eating more than an ounce or two. So, choose the lowest-carb sausages you can find and eat them in moderation. Have half a brat, perhaps, and then a burger or some steak, too. You could smoke a rack or two of ribs, which gives you an excuse to spend five or six hours lazing around the patio, cold beverage in hand, occasionally adding wood chips to the fire, and splashing your ribs with mopping sauce.

Welcome to the Wonderful World of Low-Carb – CarbSmart Podcast Episode 24

Carb restriction is, of course, a great way to achieve weight loss & health. So, let's talk about it.

Links and Show Notes

Welcome to the CarbSmart Podcast, where your decision to embrace low-carb nutrition becomes a fun and delicious lifestyle. I’m your host, Dana Carpender, here to guide you through the ins and outs of everything low-carb. With the new year comes diet season with people resolving to improve their nutrition, whether for weight loss, health, or both.


Carb restriction is, of course, a great way to achieve both. So, let’s talk about it. Like, subscribe, and hit that notification bell because you don't want to miss a single episode.


I’ve been eating this way since dinosaurs roamed the Earth. Okay, since 1995. Clearly, I have never regretted it. I have fielded questions about low-carb nutrition all these years.


The question I most commonly get is: “How many grams of carbohydrate should I eat in a day?”


My reply is always, “How the hell should I know?”


More recently, I also get “What are your macros?


The answer is, “I have no clue.”


This journey started with a nutrition book from the 1950s. I bought it a used book sale. It asserted that obesity was not a matter of eating too much, but rather a carbohydrate intolerance disorder.

Dana Carpender’s 3 Question Interview with Christine Moore, Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner Links and Show Notes

Welcome to another three-question interview from CarbSmart. I’m Dana Carpenter, your trusted guide to everything low-carb. In these interviews, I ask a professional whose job, in some way, involves carbohydrate restriction, three-questions, and of course, listen to their answers.


In Episode 12 of the CarbSmart Podcast, I am interviewing Christine Moore, a functional nutritional therapy practitioner. Having talked to registered dietitians who embrace carbohydrate restriction about the fact that food corporations are a major source of funding, or college dietetics programs and the effect that has on what they are taught and what they are permitted to say to their clients.

What is a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (FNTP)?

A Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (FNTP) is a professional who uses a holistic, foundational approach to nutrition to help individuals achieve optimal health. FNTPs focus on bio-individuality, recognizing that each person has unique nutritional needs. They emphasize nutrient-dense, whole foods and support overall wellness through dietary and lifestyle changes.

What do FNTPs do?

FNTPs assess clients’ health through detailed consultations, dietary evaluations, and functional assessments. They develop personalized nutrition plans tailored to the individual’s specific needs. These plans often include dietary modifications, lifestyle changes, and targeted supplementation. FNTPs educate clients on the importance of nutrient-dense foods and how to implement these changes in their daily lives.

How can FNTPs help someone with diabetes or who is overweight?

For individuals with diabetes or those struggling with weight management, FNTPs can offer significant support:


1 Diabetes Management

2. Weight Loss

3. Holistic Support

What Is A Keto Diet? Keto Basics with Dana Carpender CarbSmart Podcast Episode 8

Welcome to today's episode of the CarbSmart Podcast, where your decision to embrace low-carb nutrition becomes a fun and delicious lifestyle. I’m your host, Dana Carpenter, here to guide you through the ins and outs of everything low carb. Today, we’re going back to basics. There’s been a lot of controversy about keto diets versus low-carb diets recently, so let’s talk about what a keto diet is.


This episode of the CarbSmart Podcast, hosted by Dana Carpender, explores the ketogenic diet—a low-carb, high-fat diet that aims to trigger ketosis in the body. Dana discusses the scientific principles behind ketosis, shares practical advice for adopting a keto lifestyle, and addresses common myths. Listeners will gain insight from Dana’s personal experiences and professional knowledge, gaining tools to make informed dietary choices.


Are you boggled by all of the discussion about a keto diet? Wondering what the heck a keto diet really is and really isn’t? Stick around because we’ll look at what it means and how it compares to other low-carb diets and plans.


Keto has been the diet buzzword for the past five years or so and with good reason. A ketogenic diet delivers. Most people who go keto lose weight while experiencing increased energy and reduced hunger.

The CarbSmart Podcast - Carbs Count, But How? Understanding Net Carbs vs. Total Carbs
play

04/16/25 • 12 min

You may be confused regarding net carbs versus total carbs. So let’s demystify it. Shall we. Keep listening.


I see it online all the time. Total carbs or net carbs. I also see are you strict keto, lazy keto, dirty keto? What’s your daily carb limit? What are your macros? But particularly Total carbs or net carbs.


I am all for anything that works for the individual, but I fear that this kind of focus on micromanagement may scare some people off.


Total Carbs or Net Carbs

The first commercially successful low-carb diet book was Banting’s Letter on Corpulence first published in 1863 at William Banting’s own expense. It was such a success that Banting became a synonym for dieting and Professor Tim Noakes has revived the term in South Africa.


Banting stated, “My kind and valued medical advisor is not a doctor for obesity, but stands on the pinnacle of fame in the treatment of another malady, which as he well knows is frequently induced by Corpulence.”


Banting’s diet was four meals per day consisting of meat, greens, fruits and dry wine. The emphasis was on avoiding sugar, starch, beer, milk, butter, and saccharin matter. Here, saccharin matter refers to anything that turns to sugar in the bloodstream. The artificial sweetener we call saccharin had yet to be invented.


Notice something, no mention of counting carbs, much less total versus net carbs. Just eat meat, green vegetables, fruits and dry wine. The diet worked for Banting and for many others.


I have on my shelf a book I found when I was cleaning out my late great-Aunt Betty’s house called Eat and Grow Thin; the Mahdah Menus published in 1914. It too outlined a low carbohydrate diet. It too calls for no counting. When I was growing up, everyone knew that if you wanted to lose weight, you gave up potatoes, spaghetti, bread, and sweets, and focused on animal protein and green vegetables. Every diner and coffee shop offered a diet plate consisting of a bunless hamburger patty, a scoop of cottage cheese and either sliced tomatoes or a half a canned peach.


Enter the Stillman Diet

In 1967, Dr. Irwin Stillman’s diet was both very low carb and low fat calling for almost nothing but very lean meat, plus at least eight glasses of water per day. Having tried it as a kid, I can attest to it being effective, but too limited for continued use.


Enter Dr. Atkins and Counting Carbs

I trust we can take it as read that the Atkins diet works by liberalizing fat and including some vegetables and those in increasing quantities. As the diet progressed, the Atkins diet was and remains far more livable than Stillman’s.
