Is Your “Healthy” Diet Making You Sick, Tired, Overweight?



This Quiz Can Explain Why!

You bounce from diet to diet and you are still not losing weight or feeling good. You tried Lo-Carb, Hi-Carb, Low Fat, High Fat, Hi Stress, Lo Stress, and others without long-lasting results. Why? No will power? No staying power? Or just the wrong food?

Registered Dietitian, Marion Hauser, M.S., R.D., and her husband Ross Hauser, M.D., may have the answer for you. It is called Diet Typing and it may just put the right food into your mouth.
 

”We have an epidemic of obesity and people feeling tired,” says Marion, “and that's because people, for the most part, think they are eating healthy and they're not.

How many people do we know with a kitchen full of Low Fat – No Sugar foods in their cabinets that have large mid-sections and no energy?”

After years of clinical practice, and seeing thousands of patients, the Hauser’s have developed their own program called, “The Hauser Diet.”

“What the Hauser Diet does is medically and scientifically identify what type of foods will give you your best chance at optimal health.”

The Hauser Diet makes examples of the animal kingdom to get its point across. For example a Lion illustrates someone who should be on a Low-Carb/High Protein type diet.
 

“If anyone was told that they needed to go buy food for a lion, how many people would come back with a fruit salad and how many people would come back with a steak?

Common sense tells us that the lion needs to eat the steak. But we have been told that the fruit salad is healthier. Which do you think the lion should eat to feel its best? The steak, of course! If you feed a lion a “healthy” fruit diet, it will get sick!

To give people a general idea of how the Hauser Diet works and to give visitors a broad understanding of how food may affect them and which foods would be better for them, the Hausers have added this quiz so you can see:

Food is Energy
The Wrong Food is Exhaustion
 A basic concept of life is that we eat to provide our bodies with the fuel it needs. For each individual some foods are much better fuel sources than others, this is the basic concept of the Hauser Diet.

The rate at which the body turns food into the maximum amount of energy is called the oxidative metabolic rate or OMR. As part of our Diet Typing testing at Caring Medical we perform the Glucose Tolerance Test on patients to help determine how their body breaks down carbohydrates.

Are they a fast oxidizer, "normal" or balanced oxidizer, or as a slow oxidizer. This helps us adjust their diets to get the maximum energy out of their foods and help them avoid foods that make them sluggish, tired, and not feeling well.

Balanced Oxidizers
A balanced oxidizer breaks down carbohydrates and foods at a normal rate so they are put on Bear Diet Type plan of balance between protein/fats and carbohydrates.

Hauser Diet and
Diet Typing Appointment Information
The Hauser Diet program is a physician-supervised program, so it requires that all patients requesting Diet Typing first see Dr. Hauser so that your overall health can be reviewed, and a comprehensive natural medicine evaluation be provided to you. Dr. Hauser will give you his plan for your whole health, including helping you figure out what diet is best for you and any other lab tests you might need to help you stay on track with your health throughout your entire life. After you have completed that consultation, you will then go to the laboratory for testing, and finally review the results with the nutritionist. Let us break it down for you a little more

Brain Power Foods!
Do you have trouble recalling names or lists, staying focused, or remembering exactly why you walked into a room? Your cognitive function is a reflection of your veggie intake!

A recent study found that women in their 60s who habitually ate more cruciferous and green leafy vegetables than other women went on to show less overall decline on a bundle of tests measuring memory, verbal ability and attention when they were in their 70s. Such foods include broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, brussel sprouts, kale, romaine lettuce and spinach. The contrasts appeared between those who ate about eight servings versus three servings of green leafy vegetables a week, and those who ate about five servings versus two servings of cruciferous vegetables a week.

Sugar Cravings
Hyperactive Eating
Some of our Diet Typing patients often wonder what to do about sugar cravings and desires to overeat. While there are various supplements and strategies that can help with these cravings, the very best thing to do is to get on the right Diet Type and start eating fresh food. When we tell out patients this piece of information they often wonder if simply changing the composition of their meals can actually help decrease cravings. In our experience it most certainly does. And now there is scientific research to back up the claim. Read article

Fighting Weight and Hormones Issues
Why do women usually have a more difficult time losing weight? Part of the reason is due to hormones. Before we explain the hormone phenomenon, you must first realize that this is NOT an excuse for being overweight! As we all know, eating too much, eating the wrong foods, and not exercising all contribute significantly to weight gain. But for now let’s take a look at the hormone connection:

There are generally two hormones that cause an increase in fat production and storage: Insulin and Estradiol. Read article
