Higgins Announces Over $2.88 Million Dedicated to Education & Community Enhancement Projects in Buffalo
Jul 26, 2013
Press Release
The Service Collaborative of WNY To Place Close to 200 AmeriCorps Members in Buffalo
Congressman Brian Higgins (NY-26) announced The Service Collaborative of WNY, Inc. has been awarded over $2.88 million in federal funding through the Corporation for National and Community Service and the Department of Labor. The funding will support two AmeriCorps programs aimed at improving education outcomes for children in Buffalo schools and providing financial literacy training to residents and a YouthBuild program which will teach construction skills to at-risk young adults while improving neighborhood properties.
"These resources provide an opportunity to put additional people to work in areas of great need," said Congressman Higgins. "Through partnerships with Buffalo schools AmeriCorps members will be on the ground providing a helping hand to struggling students. Be it through the advancement of academics, life skills or neighborhood rehabilitation, the work provided through the Service Collaborative of WNY helps build a stronger community."
"We are excited to have received such robust funding, which continues the needed services our participants provide to the local community," said Kate Sarata, the Executive Director of The Service Collaborative. "With this funding, we will give service opportunities to individuals from our region as well as from around the country which will transform lives. These individuals make a year-long commitment to serve daily in schools, organizations and in the community."
The Service Collaborative was awarded $1,368,762 in AmeriCorps funding, which will be matched with over $1.5 in local funds and in-kind donations, toward the AmeriCorps Builds Lives through Education (ABLE) program. ABLE will place 194 members in public schools and community organizations located in some of Buffalo's most impoverished neighborhoods to assist with the academic engagement and achievement of over 3,000 children at 14 different schools.
Higgins joined members of The Service Collaborative of WNY's ABLE program working with students attending summer educational programming at Westminster Community Charter School, located within the Buffalo Promise Neighborhood, to make the announcement.
The Service Collaborative of Western New York is a critical asset to Buffalo Promise Neighborhood," said David K. Chamberlain, CEO of Buffalo Promise Neighborhood. "This federal funding will support several key touch points along the continuum of cradle-to-career solutions – including education, financial literacy training, and workforce development – that will strengthen BPN's efforts to promote academic achievement and healthy development. On behalf of everyone at Buffalo Promise Neighborhood, I want to thank Congressman Higgins and the Service Collaborative of Western New York for securing this important funding."
The Service Collaborative of WNY also received $1.1 million toward the Western New York YouthBuild: Leaders Under Construction project. YouthBuild trains at-risk youth in the construction industry with a focus on education, occupational skills, employment readiness and leadership development. The funds will support instruction for 64 students over a two-year period and facilitate renovations to two homes, resulting in new energy efficient low-income homeownership opportunities in Buffalo.
The Service Collaborative will receive $412,685 in federal AmeriCorps funds, in addition to over $350,000 in local match and in-kind donations for Opportunity Corps. This funding will allow 35 full-time AmeriCorps members to serve at 22 partner sites across the City to provide financial literacy training and economic empowerment services to 12,500 economically disadvantaged individuals.
Established in 1993, the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) is a federal agency that engages more than 5 million Americans in service toward the goal of improving lives and strengthening communities.

The fact that neither JYD nor George "The Animal" Steele appear on this Top 10 Wrestling Moves of All-Time list can be forgiven, if only because The Dog and The Animal brought an outlier level of showmanship to their athletic pursuits.
That Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka's Superfly Splash didn't outpoint "The Rude Awakening By Ravishing Rick Rude" or "Hulk Hogan's Leg Drop" is nothing short of xenophobic and nothing more than misguided. You watch that video and, should you run into him, ask The Magnificent Muraco what he thought of getting Splashed. He'll tell you. He'll tell you good. Through a trach.

On Wednesday, the NCAA announced that it would penalize former Tennessee men's basketball coach Bruce Pearl with a three-year show-cause penalty. The decision, which effectively shuts him out of a college coaching job for three years, is a result of infractions Pearl committed during his tenure at UT, which included impermissible contact with a recruit at a barbecue at his house in September 2008. Yesterday, Pearl addressed the media—during a barbecue at his house.
During the poolside press luncheon, Pearl addressed his future in coaching and his feelings toward the NCAA system. He admitted that he "misled" NCAA investigators about a photograph taken of him and then-recruit Aaron Craft at his September 2008 barbecue.
"I was in control of that situation, and I didn't handle things right at my house," Pearl told the members of the press who had gathered at the same house. "Had I been more forthcoming in my interview with the NCAA, we wouldn't be here." So we're clear: He means here, at a barbecue at his house, addressing his punishment for a barbecue that he once hosted at his house.
Still, Pearl—who is still considering a half a million dollar offer to coach the D-League's Texas Legends—was only so self-condemning. He said that the NCAA system "has flaws":
"If given the opportunity, I hope to be able to assist the NCAA in trying to make the process better," Pearl said. "One of the ways I'm going to serve is by serving as an example."
But, Pearl added, the process of going through an NCAA investigation, hearing and penalty phase "takes too long," and, he added, "the rulebook is too big." Pearl also said there aren't any guidelines for penalties and not enough levels/classifications of violations.
There is, for example, no hot dog clause. But like Eamonn Brennan over at ESPN, we have to wonder about Pearl's intension here: was it "gallows humor," an "unintentional coincidence," or "a simple overwhelming preference for barbecue?"
Real estate broker Debbie Elliot-Sexton, who is overseeing the sale of Pearl's $2.69 million house, provides another possibility.
"It is," she told the News Sentinel earlier this month, "just fabulous for entertaining."

These projects are due to come online in 2014. The Department of Energy (DoE) and state utility Eskom will sign the power purchase agreements, implementation and financial agreements with the developers, allowing the projects to proceed to financial close.
Signature was originally scheduled for December, but was delayed by the DoE because of internal problems. At the same time, it is expected that the minister will release the request for proposals for the third bidding round.
The wind power capacity available for tender in the third round was originally 653MW, but last year the government announced it would seek an additional 1.47GW of wind power. The industry is hoping for further clarification tomorrow.
Last year, the first REIPPP round was closed, bringing financial closure for 634MW of projects.

WASHINGTON — The U.S. is delaying delivery of four F-16 fighter jets to Egypt in light of the military overthrow of Mohammed Morsi as president, but it has not decided whether to suspend military aid more broadly, the Pentagon said Wednesday.
Pentagon press secretary George Little said President Barack Obama made the decision to hold up the F-16 delivery while the administration continues to review options and consult with Congress on military assistance generally.
The four F-16s were to be delivered under a previously arranged sale of 20. Eight of the F-16s were delivered earlier this year; after the four originally set for delivery this week the final eight were to be sent later this year.
Also on order by the Egyptian military are U.S.-made M1A1 Abrams tanks; the administration has not yet decided whether to go ahead with those.
The F-16 delay was the first direct action the U.S. has taken since the Egyptian military ousted Morsi and installed a new civilian government. Under U.S. law, military aid to a country that underwent a coup d'etat must be suspended. But the Obama administration says it is still trying to determine if what happened three weeks ago in Egypt was in fact a coup. Egypt is a key ally in the Middle East and the administration is reluctant to cut off the $1.3 billion aid package it sends to Cairo every year.
Little said Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel called Egypt's military chief, Gen. Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, on Wednesday to discuss the administration's decision.
"We remain committed to the U.S.-Egypt defense relationship as it remains a foundation of our broader strategic partnership with Egypt and serves as pillar for regional stability," Little said.
"Moving forward, everything that we do and say will continue to be focused on hastening Egypt's return to a democratically elected government as soon as possible," he added.
Little said the Pentagon has decided to proceed as planned with a joint U.S.-Egyptian military exercise called Bright Star, which has been a centerpiece of the two countries' military relations for decades. Bright Star usually is held every other year, but the 2011 maneuvers were canceled following the revolution that ousted President Hosni Mubarak in January. This year's exercise is tentatively planned to begin in mid-September.
Little said there is no timetable for proceeding with the delivery of four F-16s under a previously arranged sale to Egypt, and he was not specific about the reasons for delaying it.
"Just given the overall situation in Egypt right now we thought it prudent to make this decision," he said, adding that it ultimately was Obama's decision. Other officials said a decision was prompted by the delivery schedule but the administration is still considering whether to impose a broader suspension on military assistance.

MISSOULA, Mont. — The Big Sky Conference has adopted a rule that would ban student-athletes with convictions for violent crimes from participating in sports or receiving athletic scholarships at league schools.
Commissioner Andrea Williams says the rule sets the expectations the conference has for its institutions and their campus culture. It goes into effect for the 2019-20 school year and will apply to athletes signing letters of intent beginning next December.
The rule would ban athletic participation for current or prospective student-athletes who have been convicted of, or have pleaded guilty or "no contest" to violations including sexual violence, domestic violence, dating violence, stalking, sexual exploitation or any assault with a deadly weapon or that causes injury.
The rule was developed over the past year with input from the league and campus officials and student-athletes.
The Big Sky includes the Northern Colorado Bears. The conference also has teams in Montana, Idaho, Utah, Arizona, California, Washington and Oregon.

Johnson finding form since 'break' from closing
ANAHEIM -- A's right-hander Jim Johnson is still on "a break" from closing, but the man who saved 101 games the past two seasons for the Orioles seems headed in the right direction again after picking up victories over the Angels in the first two games of the series at Angel Stadium.
In his past three outings -- since manager Bob Melvin announced Johnson's "break" -- he has retired 15 of 18 batters faced and pitched five shutout innings.
"I'm just making some better pitches," Johnson said before Wednesday's series finale. "I don't want to turn this into Jim Johnson Watch."
Melvin's watching, though, and says he likes what he sees..
"I think the two-inning outing he had [Friday at Minnesota] was good for him," the manager said.
Johnson had another of those Tuesday, pitching the 10th and 11th innings of a 10-9 victory. The A's had no one else they wanted to use after him, except in an emergency.
"[Melvin] never said that," Johnson said, when asked about being the last reliever standing. "I kind of figured it out."
Johnson said if the Angels would've tied it, "I would have done what I had I had to do ... .it's been a while since I threw three innings."
Melvin said Tuesday's two innings by Johnson "showed what he is," because he had to come into a tie, then in essence save the victory for himself the next inning.
When Johnson's missing now, "he's missing down in the zone with the sinker, not up in the zone," Melvin said.

Cleaning & Care Instructions
- Avoid sharp, rough & hot materials from coming in contact with play mat (such as shoes, strong vacuums, and hot coffee cups).
- Not suitable for sustained outside use. Direct sunlight and high temps may cause deterioration of the play mat. May be used on outdoor areas that are undercover and free from rain/sunlight (e.g. deck)
- Not suitable for animals or pets. They may cause damage.
- Wipe clean with a damp cloth or clean with a gentle detergent. Avoid bleach or alcohol based cleaning products (for your little ones' benefit as well as their potential to affect the colour on the mat).

- Heavy furniture placed on the play mat may cause depressions that could become permanent.
Are your baby play mats non-toxic? Do they contain any heavy metals, pthalates or other nasties?
- Firstly, we take the safety of babies and children incredible seriously. We developed our own baby play mats with this in mind, after we were very unhappy with the strong chemical smell of other products we purchased for our own children that were made of PVC and EVA

Hi folks, greetings from Czechia. Coming back after a pause caused by healthy and family troubles.
I am seeking with difficulty bits of information referring to using the Eishindo sensor cables, one-way and one-direction cables. "Using" means in this respect utilising them other ways except those described in the manufacturer's instructions. I have been able to find only two standard ways how to use them: Shuttle operations, i.e. simple automated rides of a single trainset on a single track there and back, and crossing trains, i.e. enabling to arrive two trainsets in a passing loop simultaneously in opposite directions (and leave the loop as well, naturally...) using the sole power box.
To be honest, utilising some products is not fully clear to me. For example: Is it possible to use this one-way cable in a reverse loop to switch the traction polarity w/o installing additional elements like diodes or rectifying diode bridges? And how should I connect the thing using this standard power box? I understand that combining the one-way cable with the sensor cable in the loop should cause the following sequence: 1st step - the train arrives the loop and stops; 2nd step - the polarity is switched; 3rd step - the train leaves the loop in the same direction without changing the polarity on the power box. Is it correct? And could anybody please sketch a respective connection incl. the respective track modifications, i.e. exact placing and power feeding of an isolated track section referring to placing the sensor?
There are more such questions occuring in my mind but I do not want to wallpaper this thread. So, if you know and have tried more ways of utilising the Eishindo specialised power-feed accessories I would be glad and appreciate much if you could advise me.
Looking forward to your ideas.

glandular fever ongoing glandular fever information glandular fever fatigue help services
Glandular Fever Help Services(20 years experience of helping those with on-going troubles post GF)
click to send a summary of your Glandular Fever (EBV) Health History for initial comments
Fever Help
Services would be worth contacting if any of the below are indicated:
glandular fever: glandular fever recovery; glandular fever relapse; post glandular fever
troubles; glandular fever fatigue;
fever recurrence; glandular fever and m.e;
glandular fever and chronic
fatigue; glandular fever and post
fatigue syndrome; glandular fever and Epstein
Barr Virus (EBV) troubles;
glandular fever in older
post glandular fever and exercise; glandular fever and the
sportsperson; on-going glandular fever; glandular
fever reactivation.
It would be helpful to contact Gina Burton at Glandular Fever Help services if:
by the Epstein Barr virus (E.B.V),
glandular fever's correct name is infectious mononucleosis (I.M.). In
United States and Canada it is known as mononucleosis or mono.
In all other English speaking countries it is known as glandular fever.
is less commonly known as Pfeiffer's Disease or Filatov's
A similar condition is caused by cytomegalovirus (CMV) but this gives a
negative heterophile antibody test result for glandular fever (monospot
test is the common heterophile
antibody test for
glandular fever). Epstein
Barr Virus,
therefore, is usually the attributed virus to glandular fever.
glandular fever symptoms glandular fever and chronic fatigue glandular fever and post viral fatigue
glandular fever relapse glandular fever recurrence glandular fever treatment glandular fever help contact
Acute glandular fever symptoms:
of the acute
glandular fever symptoms disappear after a
few weeks.
The level of energy can fluctuates so that a few good days and weeks may be followed by energy slumps, fatigue, and bad bouts of glandular fever symptoms. Delayed fatigue is very common in these cases where exercise, excitement and/or stress brings on the extreme fatigue a few days after the event. Glandular Fever relapse can occur when bad bouts of all the old symptoms can strike, leaving the body struggling to get back to where it was. Actual diagnosed glandular fever recurrence is not unknown, but often the symptoms return along with the heavy fatigue but without a new positive diagnosis. If these sort of troubles continue it is referred to as post viral fatigue syndrome. If the fatigue continues it can be referred to chronic fatigue. If you would like some practical help and direction with the management of these types of ongoing glandular fever troubles, then do send a message to glandular fever help services and Gina will see if she can be of practical assistance.Many young sports people suffer with glandular fever and struggle afterwards. It can be incredibly frustrating if you are keen to return to your training but it is important to slowly get back in to it as troubles can greatly worsen if the body is put under too much physcial stress too early on in recovery. Many people coming through to Gina Burton's Glandular Fever Help Services have a sports and training background - over 85% of help enquiries actually. If you would like some practical help and direction with the management of these types of ongoing glandular fever troubles alongside your sport, then do send a message to glandular fever help services and Gina will see if she can be of practical assistance. As well as being a trained nutritional therapist specialising in helping those suffering post glandular fever, she has a bachelor hons degree in Sports Science and is also a keen sportsperson herself (so understands both the frustrations an implications involved).

TNT666, I just watched a short video
Brian Fagan: The Little Ice Age; How Climate Made History 1300-1850.
The audio was terrible, but able to get the gist of his message. I look forward to reading more of his work. thanks for the lead.
No not Dustin Hoffman Straw Dogs, John Gray Straw Dogs, a philosophical book, an atheist criticising Humanism. Already a decade gone by, but IMO there a whole lot of paper wasted these days on books that teach us nothing new. I'd much prefer see fewer better books.
I'm sorry Joan, I don't. The last books I thought were mildly interesting was Shock Doctrine and Straw Dogs. Right now I'm reading "The Little Ice Age". I used to have a website where I kept track of all my readings, but that website died, as so many other of the best websites through the years.
TNT666, makes sense. Do you recommend any authors?
Non fiction political stuff, though in the past couple of years I read less paper and more online. I tend to fall asleep when I read paper these days, it's uncontrollable. But I looked further at that resume, and she really does seem obsessed with reducing suffering and death, I was always a little less concerned with these than most people, but as I age, I find myself less and less concerned with this. The concept of "reducing suffering" in this vague general philosophical sense makes no sense. Suffering and happiness are only measured in regards to each other. So as one reduces suffering at one end, the brain simply reformats the suffering relative to the good stuff, it's why studies on "happiness" consistently demonstrate more happiness in poor countries where we westerners think there is more suffering. Conversely the rates of suicide are much higher in countries with higher wealth. The constant quest for less suffering is bound for failure, and books about the topic are so over-abundant it is mind-numbing.
What kind of book are you interested in reading?
The more I hear/read such commentary, the less I value the preciousness of life. Suffering and loss of life are the very definition of life. If this quote reflects the entire book I'm certainly not interested in reading.
"One of the legal judgments echoed the book: "life is of value only as a vehicle of consciousness".
"My original motives for writing this book were the interest of the questions involved and my own lack of any clear and defensible answers... One of its aims is to persuade people to change opinions which they already hold. This is because some of the views criticized here cause much unnecessary misery, while others lead to loss of life that could and should be avoided. The conventional view that philosophical discussions are quite remote from having any practical upshot, such as prevention of suffering or loss of life, has very little to be said for it."
~ Jonathan Glover
No matter where a woman lives, she has a right to access to competent health care, family planning and the right to make decisions about her body and her family. Every child born needs care and love and not all mothers are able to provide these. Not every unplanned or unwanted pregnancy results in successful placement in a loving home. To place women in the judgment box is absurd; without even a mention of the men who impregnate them is barbaric.
We're Not Going to Be Pushed Around by the Antis"
"I'm hoping that we're coming to a point where we can just be more honest, where we can lay things on the table and have those discussions. Because this is what I feel about abortion care: I think abortion is about motherhood. Abortion is about motherhood because by and large women coming in to have abortions are concerned about the kind of life and the future for their children. Women are thinking in a very responsible manner when choosing that. The anti-choice groups often portray women as irresponsible and making these whimsical decisions. But in truth these are very well thought out decisions women are making. They're taking responsibility for their lives and the lives of their future families."

While the effects of public policies can be widespread, the discussion and understanding of these policies are usually not. CUP's Making Policy Public (MPP) poster series aims to make information on policy truly public: accessible, meaningful, and shared. We want to create opportunities for advocacy organizations to reach their constituencies better through design and for designers to engage social issues without sacrificing experimentation.
Once a year, CUP issues a call for groups working to explain complex policy issues to a particular constituency. A jury of design and policy leaders selects four projects that would benefit from a visual explanation, and that would contribute to a positive social justice impact. CUP then issues a call for designers who would like to collaborate on these topics, and the jury selects the final teams.
Over the next several months, CUP manages the collaborative design process, provides art direction, research assistance, and an honorarium for the collaborators. The resulting publications are used by the organizations to better reach their constituencies through innovative design. Because they are portable and use visual explanations to break down complex issues, the publications make policy accessible and interesting to non-experts.
Publications are distributed directly by advocacy partners to their constituents and to other advocates working on the issue. In addition, CUP distributes the posters to audiences interested in art and design. Over 40,000 MPP's have been distributed to date, directly to the people who most need to know about these important issues, from longshore workers to juveniles who have been arrested. The publications are contributing to policy wins and more effective public participation for groups from public housing residents to street vendors. They have also been lauded as models of socially-engaged design at such venues as the Cooper-Hewitt's National Design Triennial.
Buy or download copies of the posters here. To respond to the next call for applications, join our email list, or visit the Making Policy Public website.
Janet Bartley, Advocacy Specialist for AHRC NYC, spoke about her experience working with CUP to produce the Making Policy Public project, What Does It Mean To Live In My Own Place?
The Public Utility Law Project and State Senator Leroy Comrie's office hosted a free clinic on Friday, helping residents go through their utility bills.Download PDF
CUP created the bilingual fold-out to explain the logistics of worker co-ops, comparing co-ops to typical businesses, outlining how one can start or join a worker co-op, and illustrating the daily employment life of a worker-owner.
To help the thousands of people in New York who still don't have health insurance, the Center for Urban Pedagogy (CUP) worked with Community Health Advocates (CHA, a program of the Community Service Society), designers Other Means, and illustrator Tim Lahan to create Figuring Out Health Insurance, a poster that walks individuals through the process of obtaining health insurance.

Being in nutritional ketosis reduces hunger.
Just that.
It is worth taking a full pause and letting that sink in if you are not already well familiar with this.
You don't have to be overweight for nutritional ketosis to have this effect:
– you don't have to be trying or wanting to lose weight
– you don't have to have metabolic syndrome
– you don't have to have blood sugar problems
– you don't have to have insulin problems
– you don't have to have any problems with carbohydrates.
You don't have to be a person who would otherwise be interested in a low carbohydrate diet in order to have this response to being in nutritional ketosis.
As mentioned in Part 2, this is simply a normal usual aspect of how your body functions when adapted to being in a sustained state of nutritional ketosis – that is, when "keto-adapted". (list of terminology is at the bottom of Part 1 of this series)
In any situation where persistent hunger is interfering with achieving health goals, consideration can be given to a careful trial of nutritional ketosis. This would also likely be true in many or most situations where the urge to eat was felt or interpreted as "cravings" rather than as "hunger".
It won't be appropriate in all situations and it will not suit all people.
"Reduces" hunger – not "eliminates" hunger
- nutritional ketosis is part of our normal physiology, so we can adapt to different food availability situations. It would not be very pro-survival if it made people totally disinterested in finding or eating food. Your body doesn't want you to be so disinterested in food that you become malnourished, start to waist away or starve.
- in nutritional ketosis, if you ignore or over-ride your body's signals to eat or to consume fluid you can go into an unhealthy state of higher ketones and dehydration that can be associated with loss of appetite (and vomiting, nausea and sleepiness) – but this does not happen under normal circumstances where a person is not fasting or skipping meals. It has been noted to happen sometimes during the initial transition to ketosis in the treatment of epilepsy – but this transition has traditionally been done with an initial period of fasting. Under "normal circumstances" you are responding to your body's signals for food and water – not refusing available food when you are hungry (no surprise if this turns out to be not a good idea).
We don't know a lot about this so far:
- people vary in how easily they go into ketosis (how much they need to restrict carbs and whether they need to consciously restrict protein)
- people vary in the level of blood ketones they have on similar food intake
- people vary in how they feel at different levels of blood ketones, even when there has been a period of adaptation
- people vary in how much they have a lessening of hunger when keto-adapted, although there tends to be more appetite suppression at higher ketone levels
- people vary in how much their bodies use their own body stores of fat for fuel
As we understand it for now, the lessening of hunger and the use of body fat stores go hand in hand. If body fat stores are being mobilised from the fat deposits, and being burned for energy, there will be less hunger signals saying "eat more". If, for some reasons (or many reasons) the fat stores are not being mobilised, the body will signal for more food intake.
Contrary to rumour, there is nothing about being in ketosis that guarantees weight loss. You can be well-established in a state of keto-adaptation and not lose weight while eating to satiety. You are still in a state of burning primarily fat for fuel, but it is fat from the food you eat, rather than from your body. Having ketones in your blood or urine does not indicate where the fats are coming from that you are burning.
I don't think there has been any research on this, but it seems pretty clear from people's experiences that you can be in at least a mild state of ketosis and gain body fat stores. I really don't see a reason why not.
Using Nutritional Ketosis as a Tool in Weight Control
- Context is everything – best health requires an individualized holistic approach.
- What does it look like when this is going well?
- What is going on when things are not going well?
- Concerns? – There are always concerns.
(1) Using Nutritional Ketosis within a Satiety-Oriented Approach to Weight Health
(I digress – I can't brush this close to my bug-bear topic without touching it – if this is not of interest to you, please skip ahead 'till you see #### .)
There are two types of harm associated with high amounts of body fat stores:
- what we usually think of – the harms from high body fat itself, from visceral fat, from associated conditions both as causes and consequences of obesity/visceral fat, from emotional impacts, from prejudice and discrimination, and so on.
- the harms caused by what people do in their efforts to avoid weight gain and reduce body fat stores
I think this second type of harm has been underestimated as a major driver of the current obesity epidemic – and I mean this separately from the topic of diet composition in terms of carbs, fat, etc. I am particularly concerned about the potential for harm when the public has the impression that the medical community and policy bodies view putting up with sustained hunger as benign, as effective and as an advisable strategy for weight control.
I consider that calorie-restricted dieting, which intrinsically includes the instruction to not eat when hungry if the calorie limit has been reached, should generally be reserved for situations where a satiety-focused approach is, for some reason, inappropriate or not effective or not effective enough.
What does a "Satiety-Focused Approach" mean? (see also Overview)
- General health, individual circumstance, over-all quality of life and individual goals take precedence over total body fat when considering body composition targets, as is true in all situations where there is consideration of body fat stores.
- If reduction or stabilization of body fat stores is desirable and this is not occurring, interventions are chosen that don't require restriction of food intake in the face of sustained hunger (no imposition of a calorie cap).
- The interventions are designed to facilitate achieving satisfactory satiety with no excess hunger (i.e. hunger other than in the pre-meal period) while undergoing weight loss.
- Failure to meet the chosen goal (whether weight stabilization, reduction of body fat stores, more food "peace", etc.) over time is a valuable feedback from the body that more needs to be done to reduce appetite drive and facilitate satiety.
- Any attempt to impose a calorie cap will ruin this essential feedback and risks sabotaging progress towards a successful long-term strategy (which will actually be composed of a combination of strategies).
The most ideal outcome is to have the appetite/satiety control system performing its proper function of maintaining a healthy body weight and, if the body weight is too low or too high, nudging the body towards reaching that person's best body weight.
Things that favour improved functioning of the appetite/satiety control system are intrinsically things that favour health in general and the over-all best functioning of the body. There are countless things that can disrupt appetite/satiety control.
Just to give a few examples, for some people, simply resolving one of the disrupters below might be enough allow recovery of appetite/satiety balance:
- getting enough sleep
- dealing with stress
- re-establishing regular eating patterns, including breakfast (avoiding restrict/rebound patterns)
- becoming able to safely reduce, change or stop certain medications that may be interfering
- avoiding high-sugar liquids.
One of the most important and effective things that can be done to favour proper functioning of the appetite/satiety control system is to consider whether the person is under any form of harm or strain from the amount and/or type of carbohydrates in their diet. At the present time, in Canada and in all the "developed" nations of the world, the biggest cause of ill-health in the area of nutrition or metabolism is carbohydrate intake in amount/type that is beyond the individual's current ability to handle without adverse impact (what I think of as "glucose load strain") – causing metabolic ill-health and its consequences. I think this is having more ill-health impact than obesity itself.
An individually tailored change in type of carbohydrate, with or without a reduction in total amount of carbohydrate, will help many (not all) people who struggle with their weight or who are normal weight but have excess visceral fat. This strategy can help the appetite/satiety function by:
- lessening swings in insulin and demand for insulin, thus lessening exposure to high blood levels of insulin
- lessening swings in blood glucose
- making control of blood glucose much easier in diabetes or pre-diabetes
- thus helping to preserve health (which helps preserve future ability to control weight) and reducing requirements for medications – with their potential for side effects
- avoidance of trigger foods in those with sugar craving/addiction or food craving/addiction that involve sweet taste, starchy foods and/or foods that mix sweetness, sugars or starches with fats.
It's not all about the carbs. However, your carb intake is something that you have control over, whereas you might not be able to do as much as you would like about your sleep, your stress, the medications you require, your level of chronic pain, and so on. Still, long term results are best served by the broadest possible effort to maintain your health. (Remembering that carbs are not just about weight and, in fact, the impact of carbs on metabolism is much more important.)
With a satiety-focused approach, improving weight control rests on improving general health, including burdens on body function and regulation. Doing the most possible to promote appetite/satiety function equals doing the most possible to promote health and un-burden the person and the body.
This will not always be enough. There may be disruptors that, at the present time at least, cannot be resolved. There may be essential medications that can't be safely stopped, there may be unresolvable sleep problems, there may be long-term consequences on body regulation that have been brought about by high body weight or by losing substantial amounts of weight, and so on.
If it can't be "fixed", find a "patch" or "work-around". ####
When a person's appetite/satiety control system needs a little extra help, from my point of view the first choice "work-around" to give consideration to is taking advantage of the appetite-suppressing effects of nutritional ketosis. (Recognizing that there are other weight control or "obesity management" interventions that derive all or a major part of their effectiveness through their impact on appetite/satiety balance including obesity management medications and surgeries.)
A very high exercise level could be considered to function as a "work-around" in those individuals for whom it results in reaching a balance point of calorie expenditure versus appetite.
Calorie restriction remains an option in considered situations and for some people this can be very useful and become their favoured, successful and long-term intervention. It should certainly be tried before obesity management surgery and should be at least considered and offered before obesity management medications.
(2) What Does it Look Like When Things are Going Well?
I refer you back to two of the stories I link to on the previous Part 4, near the bottom of the page.
- Jimmy Moore's story is the best that I have seen in terms of demonstrating the difference between his experiences with a very low carb eating pattern and his experiences with nutritional ketosis. Not everyone will feel the difference between the two as profoundly as he has and certainly most people will not have such a dramatic weight loss. (links below)
- Tommy mentions in one of his blog posts that he was starting to have a little weight regain after holding stable for years. He took advantage of blood ketone testing. He tightened his diet, succeeded in increasing his blood ketone levels and this helped with his weight.
(3) What is Going on When Someone Who has Plenty of Fat Stores is Keto-adapted and Not Losing Weight?
We don't know. The short answer is that they are not having enough suppression of appetite to allow their food intake to drop down enough to allow weight loss.
I know that's not much of an answer, but it is the state of the art at the moment.
As I see it, there would be at least these four things to consider:
(1) The body may be defending the fat stores that are present because of some signalling that is giving the message that the body fat stores are getting low or for some other reason need to be defended:
- this might be considered "appropriate" – for example, a woman of 5′ 2″ who is finding that her weight loss is stalled at 120 lb. when she wants to get to 115 lb. I sympathise, but her body "has a mind of its own"
- or "inappropriate" – for example, someone who's weight loss stalls when they are still 50 pounds above the "normal" weight category – perhaps the body is getting erroneous signals that fat stores are low or for some other reason need to be defended
(2) There may be something (or many things) interfering with mobilising fat from the fat stores. In this situation, the person can still be in ketosis as long as they satisfy their hunger by mostly eating fats, and keep their carb and protein intake low enough. This can still be very valuable in helping prevent weight regain, helping prevent cravings and "unintended" eating, and other potential benefits.
(3) The level of ketosis may not be enough for that person to have enough appetite suppressing effect in order to allow food intake to fall enough to achieve weight loss.
- there may be something interfering with the ability to burn enough fats (whatever the source of the fat) to meet the majority of body energy needs – whether due to a disease, toxic influence, medication or a rare genetic metabolic problem.
- the intake of carbohydrates and/or protein may be too high to allow ketosis for that person at that time.
- the internal supply of carbs may be too much – continued next paragraph.
- if the internal supply of carbs can be too much, I wonder if the internal supply of protein can occasionally briefly be too much – such as when tissue is being broken down after an injury or after very intensive exercise or when there is bed rest, particularly in someone who has developed and maintained large muscle mass through regular exercise. I haven't heard anyone comment on this and this is just speculation on my part.
- if the person is not very active and has a relatively slow metabolism (generally people's metabolism slow a bit with the passing decades and people who have lost weight can have a slowed metabolic rate long term) they really may not need to eat very much. They still need their protein for their body lean mass. Once they have that protein and a bit of carbs in their veges and possibly a few nuts or cream or cheese, they may not actually be burning a very high amount of fat to counter-balance that.
The internal supply of carbs being too high is what is happening in the first couple of days when transitioning into ketosis, as the liver's supply of glycogen is depleted. The liver produces glucose from glycogen, certain of the amino acids (components of protein), as well as a bit from fat molecules. The glucose is sent into the blood stream to prevent the blood glucose level from falling below normal range. The liver does this mostly under the direction of glucagon and the stress hormones — that is really a rough account, I can't say I'm really up on the details.
If the blood glucose level is falling and the liver is not keeping up with need, a sudden surge in hormones can bring a surge in glucose output. This most often happens with exercise and during the night, especially in the early morning and pre-dawn hours. When a sudden surge in hormones is triggered, this is not a finely calibrated response. The resulting glucose output is generally more than what is needed. In someone with diabetes or glucose intolerance, this may show as a rise in blood glucose above normal, and insulin secretion will go up if their body has the ability to do so. In someone with normal insulin function, the rise in glucose will not be above the normal range, because insulin will go up to handle the glucose. Any rise in insulin inhibits ketone production.
Besides sudden surges of stress hormones, many people have raised stress hormone levels at various times of the day and night. Many people have chronic elevations of stress hormones, particularly as they get older, and particularly at night.
I wonder if this has a bit of a role to play in why it is so famously difficult for post-menopausal women to lose weight. This is a very large topic and this suggestion is not meant to over-simplify the picture, but, as a general group, post-menopausal women are famous for having poor quality sleep – and even more so if they have hot flashes or night sweats. Some women in this situation may be producing enough glucose at night to trigger enough insulin to suppress ketone production. This would not be detected by blood glucose testing if insulin function was normal.
Also, insulin resistance of the liver is common. In this situation, the liver may produce substantially more glucose than is needed to maintain the needed blood glucose level.
(4) due to insulin resistance, when starting the diet insulin levels may be quite high and may take a while to come down to lower levels. Besides this, if the person has been habitually having a large amount of quickly-absorbed carbs at their meals, there body is adapted to this pattern. When they first adopt a low carbohydrate eating plan, this may take a few days to settle down, and in that time the person will be hungrier and hungrier more often.
And … there is always the unexpected unknown. As mentioned in Part 4, Jenny Ruhl has had some difficulties with very low carb diets, despite being unusually well informed and experienced. We do know that Jenny has an unusual metabolism in that (1) she has an uncommon form of diabetes and (2) she had a very unusual (though very pleasing) profound response to Co-enzyme Q10). The thing is, unusual metabolisms happen, and you might not know about it until later life.
Addendum Oct 18/12 – I knew I was forgetting some things in this list:
- nutritional ketosis is just one influence on your appetite/satiety system. If you have enough pro-appetite forces in your life, the effect of these may be stronger than the appetite-lessening effect of the keto-adaptation. The Rest of Reality always applies.
- when you start into nutritional ketosis, you may be still in a restrict/rebound cycle. The restrict/rebound cycle can take place within a day (low food first part of day, over-eating in later day), within a week (skimping food in week and rebound on weekend) or over months ("dieting", then rebound after the diet) or over any other time period. If you have just spent time deliberately eating less than your body is telling you to, even though you might then switch to a healthier approach that would be successful long-term, you still might have to go through the rebound phase set in motion by your previous restriction. This doesn't mean you have to re-gain the weight, but you might re-gain some (e.g. rebuild muscle) or stall for a while until your body figures it has repaired and recovered from the forced weight loss. To help this process, be kind to yourself in other ways, to promote recovery from the previous dieting stress – especially, don't heap on more stress.
- if you have lost weight recently, you may be in a 'stall" or "plateau" that you just have to wait out. Stalls happen to every-one.
- sights, smells, thoughts – your appetite/satiety system is integrated with your entire functioning. Seeing and smelling food already sets the digestive system in motion. You may need to be careful how much you are exposed to foods that are of a type you are not intending to eat. Thoughts matter – find other things to enjoy and be cautious about negative self-talk. If you are exposed to food that is in keeping with your intended eating plans and you feel hunger – eat it (or, if that's illegal, find food you own and eat that).
(4) Concerns About Nutritional Ketosis for Weight Control?
There are always concerns …..I have mentioned some of these near the bottom of Part 1 and in Part 2 and I'll get back to this topic in a later post. (likely 3 more in this series)
The field is starting to move quickly. As I have been preparing this, an important post has appeared on Dr. Richard D. Feinman's blog (the biochemist, listed in my blogroll). The post is by Dr. Eugene Fine and he explains a research paper just published. The purpose of the research was to examine insulin lowering as a strategy in cancer treatment. I expect research interest in this topic to expand rapidly. Now it is in its very earliest stage and there are only baby steps towards a good working knowledge.
The point of interest in Dr. Fine's post that relates to the topic of this post is the graph of insulin levels versus blood beta-hydroxybutyrate levels (the type of ketone measured when using blood ketone testing – also noted as beta-OHbutyrate) and how variable the ketone (beta-hydroxybutyrate) levels were between the participants when on a ketogenic diet even when strict care was taken to use diet compositions as identical as possible. Also, they clearly noted appetite suppression.
"(We tried to over-feed the patients in order to maintain weight and calorie intake, but it didn't work: very low CHO diets do indeed cause spontaneous calorie restriction and weight loss, even when you try to prevent that.)"
To hear more about Dr. Eugene Fine's work, look for Jimmy Moore's upcoming podcast with him on Monday, October 22, 2012
To hear more about ketogenic diets and cancer, look for Jimmy Moore's Ask the Low Carb Experts podcast tomorrow, Oct 18/12 with Dr. Colin Champ.

"In conclusion, the low-carbohydrate component of the high-protein regimen affects subjective motivation to eat, and volunteers feel less hungry and consume less energy, at least in the short term. Whether LC (ketogenic) diets are a suitable tool for weight loss will remain an important issue for some time, as more complex interactions between phenotype and diet composition are identified (23). This regimen appears to reduce calorie intake without increased hunger, and, therefore, it promotes compliance."
