The most anti-diabetic, anti-hypertensive diet.

[Green Xenon]

Hi:

 

I’m currently daydreaming of a hypothetical liquid Atkins induction product that is vegan-friendly and has all the nutrients of vegetables, fruits, herbs, algae, seaweed, and other plants that are necessary/beneficial for human health. It also contains beneficial and essential microbes [such as probiotics]. All the aforementioned are in amounts optimum for human health.

 

This product is completely organic and free of any pesticides, synthetic ethylene and other man-made substances that compromise the heath of plants and their human consumers. In addition, no plants used in the product are gene-modified.

 

Prior to the making of this product, all proteins & fats are pre-digested completely, and the following substances are completely removed from the plants:

 

1. Any carbohydrate that raises blood sugar. These carbohydrates are bad for induction. Fermentable fibers [such as inulin] are not removed at all as they don’t count as net carbs and actually benefit health during induction and otherwise. Simple sugar and digestible starches are completely removed. Non-fermentable fibers [such as cellulose] are also completely removed as they don’t offer much benefit other than to add bulk to the stools.

2. Unhealthy amino acids [such as homocysteine which damages arteries]

3. Glycerol [which is unnecessary calories and can be produced by the body]

4. Saturated fatty acids [which contribute to atherosclerosis]

5. Trans fatty acids [which are far worse for health than saturated fatty acids]

 

All plants used in this product – excluding tomatoes -- are raw. Tomatoes are boiled to bring out the lycopenes.

 

To make the product healthier, bad minerals [such as lead and thallium] are removed. To decrease blood pressure, sodium and chloride are decreased [but not completely removed]. The sodium is decreased as much as can be without leading to symptoms of sodium deficiency. The chloride is decreased as much as possible without causing any serious symptoms of chloride deficiency – the consumer should still be able to safely perform tasks taken for granted – such as driving or operating machinery. The decrease in chloride will help balance out the acidity caused by ketosis. To help prevent kidney stones during ketosis, extra potassium ions are added to the product. The potassium is also alkaline and will further assist the body in keeping itself non-acidic during ketosis.

 

The product has drinking water added to it to make it easier to drink.

 

This product is in small health-friendly, eco-friendly bottles. Five bottles per day should be consumed. The bottles are in a package and are of different sizes. The biggest bottle should be consumed in the morning. The smallest should be consumed in the evening. In between, are bottles of different sizes. Earlier in the day, the bigger bottles should be consumed and as the day progresses the smaller bottles should be consumed. This routine follows the saying “eat breakfast link a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper” – except the food is divided into 5 smaller meals instead of 3 bigger meals. This is an extra benefit to diabetes patients who are following Atkins’s induction.

 

It is important to understand that this product will initially not satiate it’s users. However, once ketosis kicks in, appetite will decrease and consumers will no longer feel the urge to eat.

 

To summarize, the plants in the product are chopped to the molecular level. Second, the proteins/fats are pre-digested all the way down to their monomers [amino acids in the case of proteins, fatty acids & glycerol in the case of fats]. Third, the undesirable substances are removed. Finally, good microbes, potassium ions, and drinking water are added.

 

There still will be fat in this product, it's just that they will be broken down to fatty acids [and the glycerol portions removed] prior to bottling. Many fatty acids are necessary and/or beneficial for health. They also assist in the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins.

 

If this product did exist it would greatly benefit obese patients. I just wish someone would start a company, get the company to make this theoretical product, and sell it to the general public at a reasonable price.

 

What would happen to me if I spent a year on a diet using only this product and in the manner I described [5 bottles a day, first bottle biggest, next bottles getting progressively smaller, the last bottle smallest]? Anything unhealthy? I doubt it.

It also contains beneficial and essential microbes [such as probiotics].

 

That would likely mean it would rot easily. You might want to keep the microbes separate.

 

In addition, no plants used in the product are gene-modified.

 

All plants are gene-modified. Some are modified both randomly and non-randomly and others entirely randomly.

 

Non-fermentable fibers [such as cellulose] are also completely removed as they don’t offer much benefit other than to add bulk to the stools.

 

That actually is a benefit. It helps clean out your digestive tract.

 

All plants used in this product – excluding tomatoes -- are raw. Tomatoes are boiled to bring out the lycopenes.

 

So non-sterile; it would have to be refrigerated and consumed extremely fresh.

 

If this product did exist it would greatly benefit obese patients.

 

I suspect staying on any diet would benefit them greatly. I think the hard part here is not so much the diet as the staying on it. I suspect this product would not taste very good, and that's being optimistic.

depends on the tipe of fat on the obese guy. Signing up for "boot camp" at the local gym may be much better.

Ok

 

All plants are gene-modified. Some are modified both randomly and non-randomly and others entirely randomly.

 

Sorry, I meant to say none of the plants are genetically-engineered by humans.

Yes but fermentable fibers have that benefit along with more.

 

So non-sterile; it would have to be refrigerated and consumed extremely fresh.

 

Refrigeration isn't much a of problem. All stores will refrigerate their perishable drinks.

 

I suspect staying on any diet would benefit them greatly. I think the hard part here is not so much the diet as the staying on it. I suspect this product would not taste very good, and that's being optimistic.

 

The ketosis will assist significantly with staying on the diet as ketones suppress appetite for other foods.

Thanks, I forget to mention exercise. Exercise can definitely increase the efficiency of the hypothetical diet product and routine I'm talking about.

 

Stretching [for warm up] and aerobic exercise are highly beneficial to those with diabetes, hypertension, obesity and other diseases associated with overeating and sedentary lifestyle. Anaerobic exercise [such as weightlifting] should be avoided as it decreases flexibility and causes a chronic rise in blood pressure.
