Start Date: January 2003
Eat Fat Get Thin Facts & Info
There are so many questions about EFGT I decided to go back and compile some facts from past posts here on LCF in our EFGT threads. There is some info that Barry posted here and some quotes from CarolynF and some info from a variety of sites about lean body mass. I hope this will be helpful to all of us as we continue "on down our weigh" with EFGT.
The ratios to aim for are 10-15% carbs, 20-25% prot, 60-70% fat.
Quoted from a post of Barry Groves:
"The body can use either glucose or fats as a fuel. If it is used to using glucose and blood glucose falls too low, it will convert protein either from food or from muscle tissue.
If, on the other hand, you are on a low-carb, high-fat diet, and your body has gotten used to this, then it will use either dietary fats or body fats. Which is exactly what we want it to do.
Therefore, if you are on the conventional low-fat, low-calorie diet, protein intake is very important, as this will be used for glucose. On a high-fat diet, however, protein intake is not so important.
The problems come when people who are afraid of eating fat eat more protein while cutting down on fat.
There is one other consideration: Protein foods are expensive. Why eat more than you need?
I hope that makes sense"
Another Quote from an email in answer to a question Carolyn emailed him:
"Here is Barry's great answer to the calorie question:
Hi Carolyn
I think there is a misunderstanding here. There is no EFGT 2,000 calorie program. Perhaps I should look at a rewrite if this is unclear.
The average calorie intake is around 2,000 calories (women a bit less; men a bit more) so I used that amount as an example in a couple of places on page 217 to show how the ratios are arrived at. But on pages 24/25 I say don't count calories, eat until you are satisfied.
People do different amounts of work and exercise, need different amounts of energy, and so they need to eat different amounts. And, of course, women tend to eat less than men.
So, you wouldn't need to eat 2,000 calories if you have an office job. But, then you would probably need to eat more if you are a builder's labourer or a marathon runner. If an individual is satisfied and not hungry with 1,200 to 1,300 calories, that's fine.
The important point is that satisfaction. The way our bodies work is programmed by the last 2 million years of Ice Ages. Our ancestors lived from one good hunt to the next, and there must have been times when food was in short supply and they starved. Our bodies evolved the facility of storing energy in the form of body fat to tide them over. As far as your body is concerned, low-calorie dieting is starving. This programmes your body to store fat. This is why people who use low-calorie diets get progressively fatter. What you must do is eat properly -- without the periods of hunger -- so that your body loses the need to store fat.
But, if you want to lose the fat your body has already stored, then you must NOT eat more than you need. You might think that means counting calories. It doesn't. Your body will make allowances and, if you do eat too much, it can get rid of any excess, as long as what you are eating is the right food. That is fat. Both fat and protein in excess are excreted, not stored. But if you eat to excess and some of that excess is carbs, then that WILL be stored."
CarolynF Quotes from past posts:
"Basically this plan is similar to Atkins except for the fact it's not an
all you can eat protein plan. First you figure out your lean body weight..
then divide it by 2.2 (to get kilograms), then multiply it by 1 or 1.5 to get the correct amount of grams of protein that you should take in..Too much will
act like carbs.
The percentages are what Barry is interested in..plus eating animal fats, plus
coconut and olive oil.
10-15 percent carbs/ 20-25 percent protein/60-70 percent fat..and eat according to your appetite..Some days you might be hungrier than other days.
Barry doesn't eat fruit or grains..but that's up to you. Some people will have some bread, but you need to count it all..
It's a good idea to do ****** to get a sense of what you should be eating..and how much.
Most women will eat around 50-80 grams of protein. If someone is very athletic, they would eat toward the top of the numbers."
This way of eating is basically finding out your lean body weight..Google it and you will find several ways to figure it out..either by measuring or just
putting in a number..THEN, take your lean body weight (without fat) and
multiply that number by .6 to find how many grams of protein your body needs for the day..You can go up maybe 10 more grams..but don't overload
because too much protein will act like carbs..
The percentages for your daily foods should be 10-15 percent carbs/20-30
percent protein/60-70 percent fat. Use ****** and you will get a good idea of
what you should eat..And don't eat more protein than you should..
The very best way to "eat" is to have balanced meals with your proportions approximate..For example, you wouldn't eat all your protein at one meal..or carbs..or fat..so balance each meal out as well as you can..
If you get to dinner and you have only 30 grams of protein all day..don't have
45 grams all at once to make up for the difference..Because, we all know that
those extra 25 grams act like carbs..not a good thing.."
Barry says the best oil to have is olive oil and coconut oil...And he recommends that we eat the fat off meat..like hamburger, pork, etc..
60-70 percent fat is NOT like 90 percent fat..and it's not like we are chowing down on sticks of butter..because there is fat in eggs, meat, cheese..and added fat for veggies, coffee, and salads really CAN ADD UP..That's why ****** is so great..It "does the math" for us.."
Lean Body Mass Info
To figure Lean Body Mass:
1st.You get your body fat percentage from one of those charts.
Then 100% - BF% = "the rest of your body"
Then multiply your weight now by "the rest of your body"
And you get the % of lean body mass.
Figure out how much protein you need..by using your lean body mass..(not including the fat) and divide it by 2.2 to get the kilograms..then multiply it by 1 or 1.5 (men are higher)..
On the protein thing: Some people with more muscles can eat MORE protein to maintain their muscles..So, they might multiply their LBM by 1.3 or 1.4..to get a higher number.
My lean body weight is around 95 pounds (minus fat)..I would divide it by 2.2..would
give me 45 kilograms..Okay..then to find out how much protein I would need, I would
multiply that number by 1 or 1.5..so I would need 45 to 67 grams of protein per day to maintain muscle mass..Men need more.

Yeah! we get a sticky!
Let me add this post I made earlier. It explains a lot about why higher fat, low carb, moderate protein is working so well for many of us....
"...when you eat protein and carbs, anything excess is converted to fat. Carbs are the worst when it comes to releasing insulin and getting your body to store fat. Protein isn't as bad, but eat too much protein and the body converts it to glycogen (sugar), which releases a bunch of insulin and again you get stored fat.
But, by eating enough fat (is it 60-75%??), your body gets the fuel it needs, but fat doesn't convert well to fat since you do not get that needed spike of insulin to put you in "store the fat" mode. Plus fat satisfies your appetite better than carbs or protein, so you are not likely to overeat. So, by eating fat you end up losing weight."
Or maybe it's this...

The basic rules for EFGT are:
1. Eat Real Foods
All the foods you need, to provide your body with all the nutrients it
needs, and you with the pleasure you need, can be found in the meat,
cheese, dairy, fish, and fruit and vegetable departments of any supermarket.
You may have to add butter and other fats as meat today is bred so
lean as to be tough and tasteless. But even this is far healthier than the
junk that is beginning to be sold for the low-carb market. And dont be
afraid of eggs: they have a nearly perfect balance of nutrients, and are
excellent dietary sources of protein, vitamins, minerals and trace elements,
and essential fatty acids.
2. Reduce your intake of refined carbohydrates . . .
You can eat as much as you want of any meat, fish, poultry, cheese,
cream, butter, eggs indeed anything that is high in proteins and fats and
low in carbohydrates.
You can eat as much as you like of green leafy vegetables:
cabbage, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, broccoli, lettuce, celery, and so on.
Although it is advisable to cut out altogether if possible some carbohydrate
foods, such as sugar and cereals, it is not necessary to stop eating
fruit and vegetables, merely to cut down on the sweeter and starchier
ones. It is necessary only to reduce the amount of them you eat so that
your total carbohydrate intake is no more than about 50-60 grams a day.
3. . . . but dont reduce carbs too much
The object of eating this way is to reduce insulin levels in the blood by
changing your body from using glucose from carbs as an energy source
to using fats. To make the changeover, it is necessary to reduce your carb
intake, while increasing fat intake.
4. Replace the carbs mainly with fat, not protein (See Chapter 13)
The propaganda against dietary fat has been powerful and relentless
during the past twenty years. You may still be very frightened about
adding more fat to your diet, particularly if your doctor has told you that
you have a high cholesterol level. Dont be. You will inevitably increase
the amount of protein in your diet to some extent but you should not
overdo it. For you to be healthy, your main source of energy with this way
of eating must be fat. A high-protein diet in which both carbs and fat are
restricted is probably the least healthy diet of all because your body will
continue to use glucose which we dont want that it will make from
the protein, and it doesnt like to do this except in an emergency. It
certainly isnt healthy to use protein as a fuel long term.
5. Leave the fat on meat
6. Eat a high-protein breakfast
It is essential that you start the day in such a way that your energy levels
are sufficiently high that you will not want to snack between meals, and
your brain has a constant unvarying supply of energy.
7. If you are overweight, dont try to lose more than 1 kilo (2
lb) a week
It is dangerous to lose weight too quickly, particularly if you are only
moderately overweight. Be patient: on this way of eating you may not
lose weight quickly, nor should you try to. If it took you ten or twenty
years to put the weight on, it is unrealistic to think you can lose it all
safely in a few weeks. Large weight losses are always followed by a
stall when you dont lose weight for weeks at a time. This is demoralising
and the reason why most people stop any diet and start another one
usually with the same result.
8. If you are not overweight, dont try to lose weight
9. Get the ratios right
For the best of health and for weight maintenance research has shown that
you should try for the following ratios of the three macronutrients:
Carbs 10-15 percent of calories
Protein 15-25 percent of calories
Fat 60-70 percent of calories

Here is a list of articles I originally posted on another thread dealing with fat in your diet...
For those eating low fat...here is an interesting article...
"A 1997 interim report published in the New England Journal of Medicine reported that total fat intake, animal fat intake, saturated fat intake and cholesterol intake weren't associated with coronary heart disease.
Then just last a month, a study published in the Jan. 4 Journal of the American Medical Association involving the same group of women in the current study reported that low fat diets were associated with only moderate and temporary weight loss – an average of 4.8 pounds after the first year, after which most of the weight was regained."
FOXNews.com - Low-Fat Diet Myth Busted - Blog | Blogs | Popular Blogs | Video Blogs
Here is an article on a diet high in olive oil...
"A study conducted in the Netherlands concluded that a high-fat olive oil diet was far superior to an ordinary low fat diet in controlling levels of cholesterol. A group of forty- eight healthy adults was divided into two. Under strictly controlled conditions, half the group ate a diet high in fibre and low in fat (i.e. only 22% of calories from fat). The other half of the group ate a high fat diet where 41% of the calories came from fat and most of that fat came from olive oil. The cholesterol of the olive oil group was reduced by twenty points, whereas the control group saw only a reduction of an average seventeen points. In addition, the good-type HDL cholesterol, which helps prevent heart disease, was reduced to worrying levels in the low fat group, but was not affected in the olive oil diet group."
Health benefits of adding olive oil to your diet
Here is a study on fat consumption for athletes...
"Athletes training on a high-fat diet have a healthier cholesterol profile than when they eat the traditional low-fat, high-carbohydrate training diet and they do not gain weight or body fat in the process, new data from researchers at UB have shown.
The study, thought to be the first to show this effect in women, has important implications for anyone who puts in high running mileage for health purposes. It shows they may be blunting the benefits of running by eating a diet too low in fat.
Previous results from the same study group of athletes showed that increasing dietary fat also improves endurance performance."
Jan. 23, 1996-Vol28n17: High fat diet doesn't harm runners' health
Here is some more info on olive oil (good thing I like olive oil!!!)...
"In the July 4 Annals of Internal Medicine, Ramon Estruch of the Hospital Clinic in Barcelona and his colleagues report results from 770 recruits during the first 3 months of their participation in PREDIMED. People eating either version of the Mediterranean fare had lower blood glucose concentrations, lower blood pressures, lower LDL cholesterol concentrations, and fewer markers of inflammation than did people eating the low-fat diet. All these factors indicate a reduced risk of heart disease."
Food for Thought: Olive Oil's Newfound Benefits, Science News Online, Oct. 14, 2006
And here is an article by Barry Groves, Author of "Eat Fat Get Thin"...
" The Cholesterol Myth
If the hypothesis that a fatty diet causes heart disease is true, why has over fifty years of trials and studies has failed to confirm it? It's certainly not for want of trying"

Here is another article from NewsTarget....
"A fascinating new study published by the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition shows that dietary fat is necessary for the absorption of nutrients from fruits and vegetables. In the study, people who consumed salads with fat-free salad dressing absorbed far less of the helpful phytonutrients and vitamins from spinach, lettuce, tomatoes and carrots than those who consumed their salads with a salad dressing containing fat."

More On Olive Oil
Olive oil is considered a healthy oil because of its high content of monounsaturated fat (mainly oleic acid) and polyphenols.
There is a large body of clinical data to show that consumption of olive oil can provide heart health benefits such as favourable effects on cholesterol regulation and LDL cholesterol oxidation, and that it exerts antiinflamatory, antithrombotic, antihypertensive as well as vasodilatory effects both in animals and in humans.
Olive oil has been linked to the following health benefits:
* Lowering the risk of heart disease
* Reduction in the level of LDL (bad) cholesterol
* Lowering of blood pressure
* Decrease in blood sugar levels
* Increase in the absorption of several vitamins including A, D, E, and K
* Stimulation of the gall bladder to secrete bile, which helps to prevent gallstones
* Promotes cellular growth, speeds healing, and helps the metabolism
Olive oil is also beneficial for the skin and hair. Overly dry skin or sun damaged skin can be soothed with the application of olive oil. Some people apply olive oil to the skin to prevent wrinkles, although there is no scientific evidence to support this. Olive oil promotes shiny and full-bodied hair and a healthy scalp.
Olive oil helps with digestion and the absorption of nutrients and it helps to maintain healthy bones and prevent calcium loss.
Australians who regularly eat a Mediterranean-style diet rich in olive oil, vegetables and light cheese are halving their risk of dying from heart disease, research shows.

I have a question for you all..
I have in my siggy that i'm Atkins Induction level...whenever I low carb I always stick to 20g or less. I find though that my fat and protein levels are pretty consistently 70% fat...I just naturally eat this way. So my protein is about 25% and my carbs 5% or so.
Is there a reason to specifically make sure I up my carbs to the 10% recommended? I know I don't want to overeat the protein, so if I make sure my fats are high enough to avoid over-consumption of protein am I pretty much eating according to this methodology?
Remember, the Ark was built by amateurs; the Titanic by professionals. No matter the storm, when you are with God, there's always a rainbow waiting.

Hi Missy,
I will post your question in one of the daily threads and see if I can get you a good answer.
My opinion based on what I read is that a carb level that low kind of gets you stuck at that very low carb level to maintain. Barry recommends more like 40-60/day. He seemed to think that 20 was a shock to the system and really didn't like induction.

Hi Missy..
As long as you are eating some good veggies and dairy, you should be okay. Barry says that people can go up to 60 grams a day of carbs (whole carbs..no fiber subtracted), and this can be true for some people. Each to his own.
You are exactly right NOT to overeat protein and rely on fats for energy. It sounds like you are doing really well, just make sure you have a nice variety of foods in your diet.
I think the reason Barry allows more veggies than Atkins induction is that he knows people will get bored and might possibly overeat protein, if that's all they are having..

To my dismay, the bookstore did NOT have the book. Growl. So I am prowling around, trying to gather information to go by while awaiting the book from amazon.
The more I read, the more I nod. Yes yes yes. Yes!
Edited to add: Okay, the book that Amazon has is NOT Eat Fat, Get Thin. Natural Health & Weight Loss is available. That is not the US version, is it? So confused! Help!

Okay thank you! I just wanted to make sure--will go order now.
Now, I maybe feel like an idiot--I was looking for the other title while in the bookstore tonight. I should've asked!!! Then I would've been directed to THIS book. So they probably did have it. I guess I will go ahead and order it, as I know tomorrow and Thursday and Friday even I won't have time to go to a bookstore and look again. Silly me!

Hmmm...I'm reading this thread and thinking I may already be doing this program pretty much. Maybe I should get the book and research more. My ratios are usually 65-70% fat, 25% protein and 5-10% carb. I usually eat 20-40 total carbs per day. I did the lean mass calculations and according to that I should be eating 54-80g of protein a day. I'm wondering if I'm eating too much protein. The days I record my ****** (yeah, I'm bad I don't do it everyday!) I have anywhere from 80-100g of protein. I'm thinking I might try to keep my protein under 80 and replace with fat and maybe the weight might come off faster.

I see here that you say to eat more fats, but not more protein.
Other than sitting eating butter or oils like olive oil, or just leaving the fat on the meats(proteins); what type of foods can I eat on a daily basis that would increase the consumption of fats without increasing proteins ?
All the 'fats' I can think of are still primarily proteins

Can some of you post what you eat on this diet? Do you really eat high fat of just a pat of butter?
Can I combine this diet with the Carb Addicts Diet by eating 2 high fat meals and then a reward dinner?
Also, I find that Haagen Dazs ice cream which is very high in fat but also has sugar doesn't make me gain but lose? Why is this?
Please post food logs for a newbie.

If you eat chicken, eat dark meat or eat the skin. Eat fattier cuts of beef. Don't trim the fat off when you cook it. Use butter on your veggies, put heavy cream in your coffee, etc...
I would NOT use this combined with CAD. Fat alone is great for you. Fat PLUS sugar is a recipe for weight gain. Not sure about the Haagen Daz. I would count that as pure luck! LOL

Williams makes transition to clay with winBy JEFFREY COLLINS
the Associated Press | April 03,2013CHARLESTON, S.C. Serena Williams only had three days to make the transition from hard courts to clay, and it showed a few times as she won her opening match at the Family Circle Cup.
The worlds No. 1 player beat Camila Giorgi 6-2, 6-3 on Tuesday, losing her serve in her second game and looking uncomfortable when the Italian was able to get Williams running.
It was definitely not great for me. I think I played well, but I wasnt great footing-wise. I was just trying to get my stability, Williams said.
Williams avoided a rash of upsets at the first clay court tournament of the season. Three of the top seeds were beaten in their opening matches, including No. 4 Sloane Stephens, who lost 6-2, 6-0 to Bethanie Mattek-Sands.
Williams did look shaky to start. Up 3-2 in the first set, she was nearly broken again. She lost the first three points of the game before rallying back to win the next five. Giorgi wouldnt get another chance to break Williams the rest of the match, and only won two points against Williams serve the entire second set.
Williams said she figured she would start slow because she only got one day of practice on clay to adjust from the fast, hard surface at Key Biscayne where she won the title for the sixth time Saturday to the green, slow clay in Charleston, where she is the top seed.
It was a little awkward for me, said Williams, who at 31 is the oldest woman to ever have the worlds top ranking.
She also was facing a 21-year-old rising star in Giorgi, who caught Williams eye last year by making it to the fourth round at Wimbledon.
I actually have been watching her. I think she is a good player and I knew one day Id be playing her, Williams said.
Giorgi had only herself to blame for not taking advantage of Williams slow start.
She had eight double-faults in the first set and 12 for the match. Williams broke serve in the first two games as Giorgis second serves went into the net each time.
Williams advances to the third round and just as importantly gets a day off Wednesday. She said she plans on hitting just a few balls, but mostly resting. And if last year is any indication, Williams should get stronger as the tournament goes on. Williams won her opener 6-3, 6-4 in the 2012 tournament, and then lost seven games the rest of the week.
Another player glad to have a day off is Mattek-Sands. She beat Stephens in 57 minutes, one day after her three-set opening match win went 3:42, the longest WTA match this season.
Mattek-Sands pounced on Stephens, breaking her in the fourth game of the match.
I was able to string some games together and get under her skin a bit, said Mattek-Sands, who slept for 12 hours after her marathon match, then took a four-hour nap before the Tuesday evening session.
Stephens struggled to place her shots, consistently hitting it just long or outside. She has never won a match in Charleston in three tries, but still said she was surprised she played so badly Tuesday night.
She played well and I really couldnt find a rhythm, Stephens said. The balls were going everywhere
The other upsets Tuesday included qualifier Jessica Pegula, whose father Terrence owns the Buffalo Sabres, beating No. 8 seed Mona Barthel 7-6, 6-1. Seventh-seeded Carla Suarez Navarro lost to Stefanie Voegele 6-2, 6-4 and qualifier Vania King defeated No. 14 seed Yaroslava Shvedova 4-6, 6-1, 6-4 and .
All the other seeded players won Tuesday, including No. 9 seed Jelena Jankovic who beat Melanie Oudin 6-4, 5-7, 6-4 in a match that took nearly three hours. It was Jankovics first win over Oudin in three matches.
She has this game that I really dont like and doesnt really suit me, Jankovic said. I always have trouble with her.
Jankovic, who won in Charleston in 2007, wasnt the only former Family Circle Cup champion to win Tuesday. No. 15 seed Sabine Lisicki, the 2009 winner, beat Anna Tatishvili 6-0, 6-0.
Its nice to play on the clay court, Lisicki said. The quick turnaround is not always easy, but I love the green clay.
Other seeded players to advance were No. 10 Julia Goerges, No. 11 seed Sorana Cirstea, No. 12 seed Varvara Lepchenko and No. 16 seed Laura Robson.MORE IN Wire SportsMIAMI Dwyane Wade scored 24 of his 31 points in the first half, Luol Deng finished with 25...

Whew, basketball kicked my tail tonight but it was a good workout. Tonight I wanted to post something that's a few years old but still something new I'm working toward in terms of color studying and painting. These are pieces I simply titled 'Abstract One', and 'Abstract Two', and it is the new direction I'll be embarking on with fine art and incorporating it into Illustration somehow. Stay tuned to see how I can cohesively fuze the two together. Enjoy! As always, criticisms and suggestions are more than encouraged and welcomed here.
Update – 7/13/14
I'm not one for watching Soccer on my days off from teaching Paint Nite – just not that into the World Cup haha. I'd much rather share something productive of mine instead. Below are a couple beer drawings for Edge Brewing out in Barcelona, Spain. Please go ahead and check them out here: www.edgebrewing.com
EdgeBrewing is Spain's first ever Craft Brewery and I've been signed on since last Fall with the team to make some of their fun beer label drawings. The bottle slot-machine idea came from a brew called the 'White Liar' and I thought throwing on some winning hop leaves would be pretty cool. Hopefully it shows the consumer they're in for quite a treat!
Drawing number two is for a beer called 'Sqiuffy Sailor' (AKA Drunken Sailor!!) and depicts more of a traditional harbor in Spain. To make things interesting here, I made a Sailor using a small squid as a coozy for his beer mug. The Art Director got quite a kick out of that one too. Keep an eye out for a colored version of it later!
Ok, so, I'm still wrapping my mind around this little number inspired by one of my bosses at work. He wanted a pirate seahorse for a new tattoo he's getting back in Tel Aviv, Israel so I have to share this one too. It's probably one of the faster drawings I've done but it still needs a good touching up in Photoshop.
Update – 4/11/14
Update 3/27/14
Today I taught my first tiled painting for a company. My test subjects were executives of Rabobank Consulting who chose my Abstract Cow painting from the usual weekend Paint Nite Classes. Their most favorite part was how each tile came together at the end to complete a cow even though it was disjointed in a few area's (mainly the bottom). Some of the students grew pretty obsessive of painting on their parts of the canvases.
Update 3/23/14
A while back last summer – Which means almost a year ago now – I created a logo for a friends Hand-knit clothing line called 'Laughter Owl Inc'. She mainly creates apparel for swimwear and intimate attire.
The next image is a simple wedding poster I painted in Photoshop last month that takes me back to rendering like I used to in College working on a mural with faux-finishing techniques. This piece took nearly 10 hours but all the time was well spent!
Update 3/17/14
So it's St. Patrick's Day! Seems like a nice time for an update.
For those of you who follow me, I'm regularly on Instagram and Twitter sharing my daily moments of shinanigans and joys. Many new happening's have been taking place throughout the last year which has set back my regular update's. I've moved to Queen's from Bushwick and aside from freelancing I also became a Social Painting Instructor for Paint Nite NYC.
You can see me here teaching on national Television at Essex St. Restaurant on the Lower East Side before thanksgiving last Fall:
Next I'd like to share a few of the highlights from a Mozambique Children's Book I created Illustrations for last Summer. The story is titled 'The Friendship of Crocodile and Baboon' and is taken from a traditional African folktale. My client was The Red Zebra Project located in Seattle so the work was all done remotely via Skype with each drawing being finished using Adobe Illustrator.

I've always subscribed to that philosophy. I do a lot of life examining.
Introspection/navel gazing is one of my favorite hobbies. After all, as an introvert, I spend a lot of time in my own head. As long as I'm there, I might as well keep it tidied up. Self-analysis is always a good way to kill some time, and there's nothing wrong with self-improvement as a goal.
But have you ever been accused of thinking too much? Yeah, me too. That's always annoyed me, but I'm starting to wonder if there might be some truth to it. Do you think it's possible to think too much?
For one thing, I wonder where the line is between introspection and rumination. Rumination, we know, is not a good thing; it leads to depression. But how do you know when you're on the road to depression rather than personal growth?
I went to Webster's to see if definitions might help me out, but they didn't really.

Topamax - the end for me...
Jan 15, 2011
Weight Loss
So I decided to go off Topamax, I was only on it for 1.5 months and I m sure I didnt give it enough time to work its magic but my main purpose for going on it was to lose my SSRI weight gain. The scale had only dropped 2 pounds over the 6 weeks so I knew in order to lose weight I would have to increase my 100 mg dose which I was not willing to do as I was using it off label. It was mildly effective for my anxiety and not enough to be therapeutic. I have read too many horror stories of hair falling out, memory loss, and kidney stones at higher doses to risk this for pounds lost. In saying this, I was surprised at how much the Topamax helped with my mood swings (mood stabilizer) and I would be willing to try this maybe as an addition to an anxiety medication in the future again for that purpose.
I had no problems going off this medication. My doctor told me I could stop cold turkey, I decided against it and weaned off it by doing 50 mgs for 1 week, then 25 mgs for 1 week. My appetite is increased immediately and Im sure those 2 pounds will be back on in no time :/

1 month - Topamax update
Dec 27, 2010
well its been a month. I am not overall impressed with this drug although I am using (ssri weight loss and anxiety) it for an off label use so not sure I have the right to complain. I am happy that all my side effects are gone. I will update my official weight loss but I dont expect it to be much more than 5 - 7 pounds...although I do owe it to Topamax as the scale wasnt budge no matter how much I went to the gym prior thanks to Paxil. I do know I did lose something cause my swim shorts fit.
I had two incidents this past week might be useful for Topamax users....1st incident I had 2 drinks and had a manic incident where I could of nearly killed a taxi driver in anger. I really didnt know where the rage came from and several of my friends had to calm me down. Its like I just snapped. I have had a few drinks before on Topamax and have been fine so this must of been an isolated incident...
2nd incident...missed a dose and saw a black spot on my right eye all afternoon...was slightly annoying but I had read posts from other users who had eye issues when first starting topamax so I thought I would wait to see if it would go away once I took my next dose and it did!
well I dont think Topamax is going to be the drug for me, its not helping much with my anxiety, it definitely has helped as a mood stabilizer and if I would double my dose it might help more.... but its my drug of choice for right now, in a few months when I lose my ssri weight gain I will try another anti anxiety drug

Day 18 - Topamax, Mood Stabilizer, and Appetite
Dec 15, 2010
Day 18...my sinus infection is gone...I hope for good. Its strange because I feel my body has adapted to Topamax quickly. I have no side effects anymore. My appetite has returned. I am hungry throughout the day for my in between meal snacks again, which is upsetting to me because I did not want to stop at my 5lb weight loss. My only hope is that I am not craving the chips/chocolate/ice cream that I use to and am opting for healthier options, I am hoping this will last. I can feel that Topamax is working as a Mood Stabilizer and I am eager to see if it will work for anxiety.

Day 13 - Topamax, Weight Loss and Sinus Infection
Dec 10, 2010
Well I was wrong, my sinus infection isn't going away. I went to the doctor this morning, I am now on 5 medications to get rid of it... also cost the same as 1 months supply of Topamax. The jury is out (the jury being me) as to whether the infection was caused by Topamax. As mentioned before sinus infections are listed as side effects of Topamax but my psychiatrist doesn't think it caused it. I did sleep for 12 hours last night due to cold medication. I went to bed at 7:30 while the rest of my friends were heading out for dinner and a night of fun. Its a long weekend here. I spend the morning at the doctors office and now will spent the rest of my weekend at home cause I spend my weekend budget on antibiotics boo!. I realized I have been mixing cold medication for 5 of the 13 days I have been on Topamax, so I am looking forward to when I can clearly see where my energy level will be at as I have spent the last week going to work and coming home and sleeping.
Good news...down 5 pounds!

El Paso Ranked Second Safest City By Survey
POSTED: Wednesday, November 25, 2009 - 7:19am
UPDATED: Wednesday, February 17, 2010 - 2:25pm
Twelve murders for the year in El Paso. That is still far fewer than last year and our low crime numbers have landed El Paso on a coveted list again, for the safest cities in the nation.
El Paso has some of the safest city streets in America. That's according to a Washington D.C.-based publishing company called the CQ Press. They put out the list every year, and El Paso seems to always come out ahead. We're second this year among cities with a population over 500,000 people. We got beat by one city: Hawaii. Only Honolulu is safer than El Paso.
What's the survey based on? According to the CQ Press, they compare six crime categories: murder, rape, aggravated assault, robbery, burglary and auto theft. We're doing better than most, perhaps, but we're not perfect.
"We do see burglary of vehicles in our community a lot," said El Paso Police Department's Public Information Officer Javier Sambrano. "We do see sometimes burglary of businesses or burglary of homes."
Police say don't misunderstand. Just because we're ranked number two right now doesn't mean it's time to leave your doors unlocked or leave your windows rolled down with the purse on your seat. They say part of the reason we have this high ranking is because our community is very involved with crime prevention.
El Paso has to battle a common misconception. That because we're on the border with Juarez, where the drug wars are raging, we must have a lot of crime. The numbers don't support that theory and if you believe the numbers, it looks like it doesn't get much safer than this, unless you move to Hawaii.

My invention relates to an improvement in process and apparatus for producing intraosseous anesthesia, wherein it is desired to provide a simple method of injecting anesthesia into the bone, and a simple apparatus to assist in this method.
Intraosseous anesthesia has never become popular for the reason that there has never been a practical technique of making the injections successfully. Also, there has been a general belief that this method is radical, to be resorted to only if nerve block and infiltration anesthesia do not accomplish the desired results. On the contrary, intraosseous injections produce a positive, more profound anesthesia, and. may be made with less pain than either of the other types.
Intraosseous anesthesia has several advantages over nerve block or infiltration methods. There is no feeling of numbness in the tongue, cheek, or lips during or after the injection, and'there is no after pain. The anesthesia is profound and 1 acts immediately, obviating the necessity of waiting for the anesthesia to take efiect, as with the nerve block and infiltration methods. Fur,- thermore, as only a few drops of the anesthesia are injected, there is no feeling of faintness or in; i
serting the needle therein, unless the hole was of .exactly the same size as the needle, the solution would back up through the hole and around the needle as soon as pressure was exerted on the hypodermic plunger.
The object of the present invention is to provide a method or technique of making intraosseous injections which will avoid these former difficulties, and will simplify the injection process. This may be accomplished through the use of a tiny externally threaded sleeve through which a drill, and a hypodermic needle mayeX- tend. This sleeve is provided with a coupler by means of which the sleeve may be rotated with The drill extends through the sleeve to form an opening through which the sleeve may be threaded, the soft material of the bone spreading to a sufficient extent to permit the sleeve to engage within the same in spite of the fact that. the drill must be slightly smaller in diameter than the sleeve. i
It is an object of the present invention to use this hollow sleeve for guiding a hypodermic needle into the bone. This guiding of the needle into the bone obviates the former difficulty experienced in locating the drilled opening in the bone after the drilling process. As the drill moves through the bone, the sleeve is threaded into the cavity formed, to a depth which is usually two or three millimeters. The drill is then stopped, and withdrawn from within the sleeve, providing a. hollow tube extending into the bone for the purpose of guiding the hypodermic needle into proper position.
A further feature of my invention lies in the sealing of the hypodermic needle with respect to the sleeve, so-that the anesthetic material will not back up, and drain through the sleeve around the needle. This means comprises .a resilient sealing means surrounding the needle which engages the outer surface of the sleeve, to seal the space about the needle within the sleeve.
A further feature of the present invention lies in the fact that the sleeve may remain in place during the treatment of the tooth, so that if the I anesthesia wears off, more may be inserted. By
inserting the needle with the bevel of the needle facing toward the tooth to be treated, the anesthetic may be localized more effectively than is commonly possible. This fact is important, as the operator is enabled to anesthetize only the area on which it is desired to work without anesthesia spreading to other parts.
An additional feature of my invention lies in the fact that the sleeve may be readily removed at the end of the treatment by inserting the drill through the sleeve, engaging the sleeve to rotate with the drill, and reversing the direction of rotation of the drill, the sleeve threading itself out quickly and easily.
These and other objects and novel features of my invention will be more clearly and fully set forth in the following specification and claims.
In the drawing forming a part of; my specifie cation:
Figure 1 is a plan view of a handpiece of the usual type, part of which is broken away,and showing the threaded sleeve and drill secured in place thereupon.
Figure 2 is a side elevation view of a contraangle of usual design, a, portion of which is broken away showing a drill and threaded sleeve secure thereto.
Figure 3 is an elevation view of the threaded sleeve and drill in greatly enlarged size, illustrating the construction thereof.
relation to the threaded sleeve, showing the sealincorporated on the hypodermic needle. p
The handpiece I is of any suitable-or-common ing means design and is constructed to engage the shank l l of the drill 12. The drill I2 is provided with a The shank l6 of the drill [5, as well as the shank II, of the drill [2, may be provided With a flattened end 32 and a groove 33, as illustrated in Figures 3 and 5 of the drawing, to permit rotation of the drill and shank by the dental engine. The construction of the drill shank depends upon the construction of the chuck or other drill holding means, and may be made in any manner common to the shanks of other decoupling flange l3 thereupon for a purpose which will be later described in detail. The shank -Il engages into the handpiece l0 and is rotatably supported to be driven by the usual engine in a manner common "to devices or this type. 'Ihe contra-angle M is also designed tosupport a sirnilar drill which is provided' viiith afs'hank it and a coupling sleeve ll, which is driven through the contra-angle I4 in a manner Well known in the art. The drills 12' and 15 are sir'nilar or identical with'the exception that the shank 1-8 may be differently shaped fromthe shank] l in order to be properly rotated. T-he detail-of the construction of 'the hand ieee ill and the contra-angle M is not described herein "as these devices are well known in the art. Figure 3 of the drawing illustrates the drill l5 and the manner in which it is secured through the coupling flange ll. to thecoupling'fl'ange 19 of the threaded sleeve 20. As bes't illustratedin Figures 3-an'd 4 of the drawing, the slee've ZO is e-x ter nally threaded with fine threads 2 and is hollow to provide a passage 22 therethroug-hfrom end to end. The coupling flange I9 is preferably internally-tapered at 23 to QiIide the dFiIl-IB through the opening 22, and the drill 15 is of sufficient length to extend throughout the length "of the sleeve and to project slightly from the end thereof, as best illustrated in Figure 5of'th'e drawing. The coupling flange IT, as best illustrated i Figure-5 of the drawing, is provided with three -angular-1y spaced pins 24 which engage through similarly spaced apertures 25 in the flange 19. Accordingly When the sleeve 2!] is in place encircling the drill 15, the pins 24 extend through the apertures 25, causing rotation of the coupling flanges l1 and T9 in unison. At the same time,
however, 'it will be obvious that when the sleeve -20 isin position extending into the bone to the proper depth, the drill ['5 'maybe withdfiawn by sliding the same axially from"w ithin the sleeve '20, providing an open passage directly into the bone through the sleeve 26. Y I
The hypodermic syringe 26 'is illustrated in Figures -;6 and '7 of the drawing -anddnclud'es a needle 21 which is hollow to permit the new of anesthetic material therethrough. -The syringe i the resilient washer 29 and the chuck 3'l'"of the Syringe 2B.
A seal-may be provided for this means, as will be later described.
the following steps are ordinarily followed.
The-flanged sleeve 20, as well as the hypoderinie needle, is normally maintained in alcohol, or
-in another cold sterilizing solution. These implements are completely sterilized before use.
The instrument is maintained in readiness for operation in the handpiece or contra-angle, and the needle is maintained in the syringe. At the start of the operation, the areato be treated is then sterilized, and a drop-of the solution may be injected to anesthetize the *interpro'Ximal mucous membrane over the tooth to be operated upon :at a pointslightly away from the free margin of'the gum. A topical anesthetic may also be used at the .point'of' insertion of the sleeve. With the sleeve and coupling flange mounted in place encircling the drill in the handpiece or contra-angle, the mucous membrane is punctured with the drill; Slight-pressure isexerted 'upon the :drill and the dental engine is started into rotation until the drill has pierced the outer alveolar plate of dense bone. The rotating sleeve engages into the opening formed by the drill until the threads on the sleeve have caught and entered the cancellous bone for a distance of two or three millimeters. The engine is then stopped and the drill withdrawn,.leaving the threaded "sleeve in place.
"The spring 3!] is then inserted over the tip of the hypodermic needle and the resilient tip or gasket is then inserted onto the needle. The needle 21 is then inserted through the passage 22 and pressed inwardly until the gasket 29 seals against the tapered portion 23 in the coupling flange [f the sleeve 20.
With the hypodermic needle in place, the plunger is operated to deposit a few drops of the anesthetic solution. During insertion of the needle, the beveled tip "end 34 thereof is faced toward the tooth to bepperated 'on. Pressure againstthe hypodermic needle is app'liedgra'dilally to eliminate (pressure pain, and sufficient pressure is used to firmly seal the gasket 29 against the flange 19.
The .needle 21 may then 'be' removed from within the sleeve 28, and this sleeve may remain in place during the treatment of the tooth, so that if the tooth becomes sensitive before the operation is completed, a few more-drops of the solution 'may be injected in *fl'ange I 9 of the sleeve 20. The direction ofrotation bf thedental engine'isthen reversed, causing the sleeve 2fl'to'be unth-readed from the bone "andremoved.
T I have found .that a profound anesthesia may thus' bebbta'ined fora-cavity preparation, or any otherfdesired operation may be done without rpain. ".The intraosse'ousanesthesia is particularlycsuita-ble' for operations performed ;upon: the
teeth and is recommended primarily for operative dentistry, in the preparation of cavities, for crown and bridge abutments, the dev-italization of pulps, or for any work on hypersensitive teeth, either upper or lower. While extractions may also be done with the aid of intraosseous anesthesia, in most cases one of the other methods is preferable. In extractions it is desirable or necessary to anesthetize the soft tissues on the labial or buccal andlingual surfaces of the jaw.
When inserting the flanged sleeve, it is possible to use a fork-shaped holder to press the flesh about the sleeve during movement of the sleeve into the bone. This prevents any tendency for the flesh to wrap about the threads of the sleeve. Such a holder is indicated at 36 in Figure 3.
With my method, a few drops produces profound anesthesia. As a result, a better anesthetic is produced with less solution. For this reason, my method is extremely economical, as well as less painful, than previous methods.
In accordance with the patent statutes, I have described the principles of construction and operation of my method and apparatus for intraosseous anesthesia, and while I have endeavored to set forth the best embodiment thereof, I desire to have it understood that obvious changes may be made within the scope of the following claims without departing from the spirit of my invention.

Enterprise Reports Results For The Third Quarter Of 2013
Enterprise's natural gas processing plants reported fee-based processing volumes of 4.7 billion cubic feet per day ("Bcfd") in the third quarter of 2013 compared to 4.5 Bcfd in the third quarter of 2012. Enterprise's equity NGL production was 120 thousand barrels per day ("MBPD") for the third quarter of 2013 compared to 99 MBPD for the third quarter of 2012. Fee-based natural gas processing volumes and equity NGL production from the partnership's processing plants in South Texas increased by 0.5 Bcfd and 26 MBPD, respectively, in the third quarter of 2013 compared to the third quarter of last year.
The increases in South Texas volumes were primarily due to production growth from the Eagle Ford shale and the start-up of the natural gas processing plants at our Yoakum facility. The first and second plants at Yoakum began commercial operations in May 2012 and August 2012, respectively, while the third plant began operations in March 2013. The increase in fee-based processing volumes and equity NGL production from the South Texas plants more than offset an aggregate 0.2 Bcfd and 6 MBPD decrease in fee-based processing volumes and equity NGL production, respectively, from Enterprise's natural gas processing plants in the Rocky Mountains due to lower production and reduced recoveries of ethane.
Gross operating margin from the partnership's NGL pipelines and storage business increased $36 million, or 18 percent, to $231 million for the third quarter of 2013 from $195 million for the third quarter of 2012. NGL pipeline volumes increased by 394 MBPD, or 16 percent, in the third quarter of 2013 to a record 2.9 million barrels per day ("BPD") compared to the third quarter of 2012. The partnership's South Texas NGL pipeline system reported an $18 million increase in gross operating margin on a 158 MBPD increase in volume due to Eagle Ford shale production growth. Enterprise's liquefied petroleum gas ("LPG") marine export terminal on the Houston Ship Channel and its related pipeline reported an $18 million increase in gross operating margin on a 255 MBPD increase in aggregate volume. The expansion of the LPG marine export terminal was completed in March 2013.

Voyeur is a French term meaning: "one who looks." Voyeurs are also referred to as Peepers (Gabhard, et al., 1965), and Peeping Toms based on the exploits of Lady Godiva. Legend has it that In 1040 Godiva was urged by her husband, The Earl of Leofric to ride naked on a horse through the town of Coventry in protest of a tax levied on the townspeople. In appreciation, the townspeople closed their shutters with the exception of a tailor named Tom, who peeped, and was said to be struck blind on the spot.
According to Yalom (1960), the definition of voyeurism could use clarification. He contended that it's difficult to assess the incidence of voyeurism because most voyeurs are charged with other related crimes such as: intrusion of privacy, disturbing the peace, and suspicion of burglary. Apparently, shame compels most voyeurs to prefer to be charged with burglary.
Yalom also claimed that the boundaries of the term voyeurism are vague: Is one who collects porn magazines and then self-pleasures a voyeur? Is the individual who stares at scantily clad women on the street a voyeur? Yalom was interested mainly in the: offensive voyeur. Offensive voyeurs are those that come to us via medical or legal attention. Yalom defines an offensive voyeur as "one who has an exaggerated desire to see, by stealth, a member of the opposite sex in some stage of undress, in the sexual act, or in the act of excretion, which is so intense that it surpasses in importance the normal sexual act."
