Good to hear from you.

Great post, Dr. Eades, and thanks for taking me back to the “good-old-days”. (Well, nothing I’d want to relive, but much simpler times, for sure. LOL) Loved that song back in 1960, the year I graduated from high school.

Eades’ theme song – definitely.

I’m sure our publisher would love it.

There’s no question, this is the theme song for your blog.

Had some bearcat stew for dinner (seasoned with a little garlic, basil and olive oil) and suddenly felt like ripping limbs off trees. Go Low Carb!

Thanks. Jim

Look at that Caveman go!

100% with you. This is the perfect song for this blog. Wasn’t there also a newspaper funny called Alley Oop?

Go for it!

This lead me to Wiki and I found that you are cited as a resource in an entry on Low Carb Diets (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-carbohydrate_diet). I just read most of the article and feel that there are a few problems…..would you be interested in checking it out and commenting or clarifying some statements made?

It is a long entry. And you’re right, there are some misstatements. I really need to go over it in depth before I could recommend specific changes. Plus, I don’t know how to make the changes if they need making.

Or, it could be a combination of the bad economy and media propaganda.

The financial section of today’s Globe & Mail headlines the rise in American Italian Pasta sales article with “Low carb craze is dead. Now that’s Amore”. The choice of the noun seems to confirm your position. ‘Craze’ is defined as an activity that appears suddenly and achieves wide-spread but short-lived popularity. Thus the use of the term low carb craze in this context implies that the low carb movement is and was an irrational departure from the mainstream (healthful) North American high carb diet.

Low-carb legacy hitting US pasta sales
Falling pasta sales at leading US company American Italian Pasta reflect an industry-wide problem and demonstrate how a low-carb legacy may still undermine foods with a higher carbohydrate content.

FISCAL 2008 FINANCIAL RESULTS
Revenues for American Italian Pasta for the year increased $171.1 million, or 43.0%, to $569.2 million, led by a 39.7% increase in revenue growth in the retail market and a 53.4% increase in the institutional market.

When times get tough it appears that people head for the carbs.

Or it appears that people head for carbs after almost five years of media propaganda that carbs are good. Reporting on every paper that shows a problem with low-carb diets (witness all the recent coverage of the pitiful study published recently in Appetite) while ignoring all those that show the benefit of low-carb diets.

Dr. Mike, I say thank God you were shy. if you were gawky as a teen you might have feeling like Robert Plant at the time but you know how it goes… the video shows up one day and you looked more like Napoleon Dynamite.

My biggest objection to all this is hearing a song play every time I log on – not sure I would dig that. Is that your intention?

I was just sort of kidding about making Alley Oop the theme song for the blog. If I did do so, it would NOT come on every time someone logged on. It would maybe be set up so that someone could hit a button to hear the theme song. So don’t worry about Alley Oop being pounded into your brain.

We recommend that our patients follow more of a maintenance plan than a weight reduction diet during the early phases of breast feeding. The issue of primary importance right now is supporting the growth and development and brain health of the new baby. We advise our patients to eat plenty of greens, colorful fruits and vegetables, meat, especially fatty meat and fish oil and/or krill oil supplementation. You need enough calories so that neither you nor the baby suffers. The two essential fats for a developing child are DHA and arachidonic acid, both of which the above recommendations supply in abundance. We tell our patients that if they avoid grains and starches in general and get their calories from the above mentioned foods, they will lose weight slowly while at the same time provide all the raw materials for their growing babies.
