benwood, the change was permanent as long as she stayed on the diet. once she went off, the bad symptoms came back. her first comment when i made her first zone meal was "i'm going to be hungry." she told me that she no longer had to get out of bed at night for a snack because she didn't get hungry at night. other benefits included not laying in bed all morning waiting for the house to warm up because the cold bothered her back. her previous diet elevated her insulin, drove down her blood sugar which, in turn, drove her hunger for more carbs that elevated her insulin some more. it is a vicious cycle, which is why the typical high carb, low protein, low fat diet is just awful. elevated insulin is the smoking gun between excess weight and increased chronic disease. elevated insulin is the best indicator of future chronic disease there is. elevated insulin both stores nutrients (makes you fat) and drives cellular inflammation because it trigger the creation of delta-5-desaturase which, when combined with omega 6 fatty acids, drives cellular (silent) inflammation in each and every one of your cells. as dr. ssears says, acute inflammation hurts, silent inflammation kills. EPA primarily works to reduce cellular inflammation by combining with delta-5-desaturase, thereby leaving less d5d available to combine with omega 6 fatty acids. EPA + d5d also produces some anti-inflammatory eicosanoids, which helps to balance out the pro and anti-inflammatory eicosanoid ratio. this is cutting edge inflammation science. this is also why randall mccloy's (lone survivor of the sago mining disaster - 40 hours of carbon monoxide exposure) neurosurgeon called upon dr. sears to help in mccloy's recovery. you can make what you will of the press calling his extremely rapid recovery a "medical miracle."
