Unsolicited EndorsementI had the best dinner tonight, I sauteed some onions and fresh garlic in my wok, then put it on the side then sauteed a red bell pepper, tofu, and broccoli, ( put that on the side) then took some cooked brown rice and fried it up adding water and soy sauce, then added it all together, then made a fresh salad with red onions, spinach leaves,romaine lettuce. That was the best meal I've had in sooooooo long!!!!! mcdonalds ( or any restaurant , for that matter)couldn't touch that meal !!!!! Thanks YolandaFrom another letter: The best part of this diet is that when I'm finished eating I don't feel guilty, and I don't feel blah, I feel good, nooo I feel GREAT !!!!! for lunch I had potatoes( the way you said to cook them ) and some corn tortillas. Thanks Yolanda Yet another letter: Yesterday I had meat and rice, which I thought would be ok , cause it is/was my favorite, but I didnt feel like I did when I ate one of your meals. I felt like I ate a bag of rocks, it just sat on my stomach all day. I didn't feel satisfied, I felt full, but not satisfied. I felt satisfied when I ate one of your meals. Yolanda Highsmith Sulphur, Louisiana Unsolicited Endorsement"I love this diet because it takes so little time to prepare."Referring to episodes of hypoglycemia: "I really like this diet because I do believe the episodes of hypoglycemia are caused by the lo-carb approach, which is wrong for me." From a latter letter: "...and the drastic cut-down on sweets, and the diet (I would say I practice most of the time) must be helping......because I am not usually hungry, and have had NO episodes of hypoglycemia ..." Diane Newman R.N. B.S.N. Hamilton, Ohio EndorsementThe Mericle Diet and MeI have been reading about diet and health since 1986, but The MericleDiet has definitely helped me the most. After following Dr. Mericle's suggestions for over 15 months, I can truthfully say I will never stray from his program. One of the unseen benefits has been the reduction of blood pressure medicine I take. Although I have never been a big consumer of sugar, I now consume even less since I now understand the importance of keeping your insulin levels low. I am now able to keep my blood pressure at an optimal level with half the medication of my pre-MericleDiet days. And, the ease of this program! I always have something yummy and ready to eat! For the first time in my adult life I no longer suffer, and I do mean suffer, from the yo-yo syndrome! This is absolutely the best program for me and my family... Kay McIlroy Colorado Springs |
Fructose Short-Circuits GylcolysisFirst some terminology.Fructose ... a five carbon sugar that occurs naturally in fruit, does not cause as much insulin to be secreted as glucose and tastes sweeter than glucose.Glucose ... a six carbon sugar that is the breakdown product of glycogen(a polymer of glucose, multiple glucose units hooked together) that occurs naturally in potatoes and grains. Glycogen ... multiple units of glucose hooked together (a polymer). What is typically called "complex carbohydrate" today. Glycolysis ... derived from the Greek stem glyk- "sweet" and lysis meaning dissolution. The metabolic pathway for the initial utilization of glucose. Phosphofructokinase ... the enzyme that catalyzes the reaction of fructose 6-phosphate to fructose 1,6-biphosphate. You don't need to understand anything more about this reaction other than the fact that if fructose comes from a source other than the degradation of glucose, it blocks this step for glucose until all the non-glucose derived fructose has been metabolized. Glucose and Fructose Are Both Metabolized via GylcolysisBoth fructose and glucose are metabolized via glycolysis. Both end up at some point as three carbon fragments. In order for glucose to be broken down into three carbon fragments it must first be metabolized to a five carbon sugar, actually fructose. This is where the trouble starts, since fructose is already a five carbon sugar. The following analogy I hope will aid in explaining this. The analogy, however, is far from perfect.Whether we start out with separate glucose and fructose as in high fructose corn syrup or honey, or with fructose and glucose hooked together as in sucrose(common table sugar), makes no difference. As soon as sucrose hits the bloodstream, it is immediately broken down (hydrolyzed) to fructose and glucose. Freda Fructose gets married to Gary (Glucose) Sucrose. They live happily on Sugar Lane. Both work in muscle and liver cells where they are metabolized usually into fat and slow the immune system to a crawl. They get up early in the morning and both have to get on the Glycolysis Road to get to work. Gary (Glucose) is one carbon atom heavier than Freda Fructose and because of that, he cannot cross the river on one of the lighter and faster bridges on their way to work. Freda Fructose however, being lighter, has no problem crossing the faster bridge and making the short-cut to the Glycolysis Road. Gary Glucose, however, has to get on the road well above the short-cut, since he is too heavy to take the lighter bridge short-cut. The Phosphofructokinase IntersectionAs usual Freda Fructose gets to the Phosphofructokinase intersection well before Gary Glucose. By the time Gary Glucose gets to the intersection, the traffic directing policeman is once again allowing all the Freda Fructoses to make the turn onto Glycolysis Road while, all the Gary Glucoses can do is sit in traffic and wait. Once again, Gary, and all the other Glucoses on their way to work, must sit and wait for all the Freda Fructoses to get on Glycolysis Road before they can continue.LA Traffic ControlTraffic control sees all these Glucoses sitting stuck in traffic, just like traffic backs up everyday in LA. It reacts by injecting a lot of green lights (insulin) into the pathway for the Glucoses to get to work. Finally, all the Fructoses pass and now because there are too many green lights, all the Glucoses pass quickly. All of the sudden there are no Glucoses to be found on the Glycolysis Road. All the cells along the way that used to be able to snag some Glucose can't because there isn't any. Whether it is the excessive insulin that is the cause of so many of the lifestyle diseases we see today or, all the backed up Gary Glucoses decide to cause their own damage to the arteries they are in, I don't know. It is however, clearly established that the ingestion of sucrose (fructose and glucose) is related to many of our lifestyle diseases today including the extensive damage to the vascular system that occurs with adult onset diabetes mellitus. I know, my damaged arteries are up on this site.HypoglycemiaNow you begin to feel lightheaded, dizzy and a bit disoriented. Traffic control has injected too many green lights and the concentration of glucose drops precipitously. The brain starts to complain because it no longer has enough glucose to function. If the blood sugar gets low enough, serious complications can occur.Fructose and Glucose TogetherThe combination of fructose and glucose should be avoided as much as possible. When you eat your fruit, try to allow at least an hour or preferably two, before eating potatoes, whole grains or rice. Also avoid as much as you can sucrose, high fructose corn syrup, honey and maple syrup or, any sweetener that has as it main ingredients, fructose and glucose.Other SweetenersBrown Rice SyrupBrown rice syrup is roughly about 45% maltose (two glucose units hooked together), 50% complex carbohydrates and 3% glucose. No glucose and fructose together but still sweet and I have known some people who can even get hypoglycemic from it.Barley Malt SyrupMade from whole barley it is about 65% Maltose and 30% complex carbohydrates.Fruit Juice ConcentratesThese are usually combinations of glucose, fructose and sucrose and should be avoided.Maple SyrupMaple syrup is about 65% sucrose and should be avoided.Today's Health Tip:If you want sweet, you are safest with stevia. Next would be sweeteners derived from rice and barley. Sucrose, high fructose corn syrup, maple syrup and fruit juice concentrates should be avoided.Reference: Stryer Biochemistry Fourth Edition ************** To really get off of sweets and "deprogram a sugar-coated palate," the MericleDiet is hard to beat. Generous servings of organic complex carbohydrates will keep you and your brain happy. ************** One of our readers Wendy in the UK writes: Just to let you know that according to the website below that takes you to Carol Bond Health Foods it is spelt Stevita.

What's in it for you?This is a very serious question.
Why should you care?Another great question. While you are healthy and actually perceive no real health problems, you may not care.
