Gastric Bypass
Induction Plan
Purpose
The purpose of the Induction Plan, be it for three days or for thirty days, is to eliminate carbohydrate cravings in the starchoholic and to enable all morbidly obese people to become fat burners rather than sugar burners.
How can the Induction Plan do this?
The human body is somewhat similar to the automobile. In a few of the larger SUV's, there are two separate fuel tanks holding upwards of 25 gallons each. In the human body, there are also two fuel tanks. The one from carbohydrates, sugar, has a capacity of under five hundred (500) grams, e.g., around 400 grams in muscle tissue, and approximately 60 to 90 grams in the liver.
The other fuel is derived from fat. This fat fuel tank can provide energy to the body directly from the fat itself, ketones, or oftentimes the fat is converted to sugar
(gluconeogenesis) in the liver to fuel the brain and other metabolic processes.
Unfortunately, for the morbidly obese, the fat fuel tank has a seemingly unlimited capacity. Witness the 1,500 pound man carrying 1,000 pounds of fat.
In simple terms, the Induction Plan is designed to use up the sugar tank, forcing the body to switch over and to start using fat as the primary source of fuel.
Because of starchoholism, carbohydrate cravings, the availability of refined sugars and high density carbohydrates, and obvious to all concerned, a sedentary lifestyle, the morbidly obese rarely switch over to the fat fuel tank for energy. If so, they never burn fat for long enough periods of time to experience significant and sustained weight loss.
Again, by exhausting the sugar tank by not consuming carbohydrates, the human body is forced to burn fat for fuel.

The Induction Plan
|
1. No fruits, vegetables, starches, grains or sugars. In other words, no carbohydrates from natural food sources, period.
2. One (1) scoop of whey stack protein powder in 8 oz. of water two (2) times per day.
3. Three (3) servings of animal protein per day. Serving size=small skinless breast of chicken or hamburger pattie the size of your hand; chicken, turkey, beef, pork, venison, fish or two eggs.
4. Two (2) oz of any block cheese 3 times per day, i.e. cheddar, colby, Swiss, Monterrey Jack, Pinconning, etc.,
or
Four (4) unblanched, unsalted, raw almonds or English walnuts or Macademia nuts three times daily.
5. Two (2) Bari-Tec Broad Spectrum capsules (containing no iron or vitamin K) three times daily with food.
6. One (1) Potassium twice daily with food.
7. Sixy-four (64) oz. of water per day.
8. Sauté, grill, or roast meats with extra virgin olive oil. |
After the Fourteen Day Induction Plan
(Or as per your bariatric surgeon)
|
1. Same as above except you are to reintroduce on a daily basis up to 20 grams of low density carbohydrates from natural sources. (See list of low density carbohydrates in the Dietary Guidelines.)
A Terrifying Revelation
A nutritional researcher has estimated that some postoperative gastric bypass female patients, once they have reached a weight plateau, a year or more after the surgery, will gain weight if they consume more than 25 grams of high density carbohydrates per day. The researcher has also estimated that for some male postoperative gastric bypass patients a consumption of more than 40 to 50 grams of high density carbohydrates per day will initiate weight gain.
Remember:
A baked potato (51 grams of high density carbohydrate) equals 51 cucumbers, almost a bushel (one cucumber = 1 gram of carbohydrate x 51 cucumbers = 1 baked potato)
Note: Carbohydrate counters are available at no cost at many web sites, including Atkins and Low Carb Friends.
