    About this ebook

    There are many diet books in print today, each designed to assist people in losing weight. Although they are all different, most of them work on a principle such as "low fat" or "low carbohydrate." The PVC Diet should not be looked upon as a diet, but rather as a simple set of rules designed to assist you in choosing your food. We have to eat every day and many of us need advice. Forget counting fat grams! They are not counted in this diet. The only thing you need to remember is PVC, three easy letters that will steer you to the correct selection of food for weight control as well as overall health.

      Introduction

      I’m a physician who has been in private practice for over 25 years. You can imagine how many patients I have seen in over a quarter of a century. My medical specialty is Gastroenterology (GI), which means patients come to see me when they have problems in their gut or digestive tract. These are typically conditions like acid reflux (gastroesophageal reflux disease), stomach and duodenal ulcers, Celiac disease, diverticulosis, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), colon polyps, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, hepatitis, pancreatitis, cancers and other conditions. In my specialty, I see the entire spectrum of digestive diseases.

      Since so many GI conditions are affected by diet, much of my office time is spent counseling patients on appropriate eating habits. In the course of a typical day, I discuss diet and nutrition with at least half of my patients. The great majority of these discussions concern their excess weight. For most physicians this is a common topic, as two-thirds of the American population is overweight, meaning their Body Mass Index (BMI) is over 25. One-third of the population is obese with a BMI over 30. Obesity is a major health issue. Counseling patients on weight reduction is extremely important since weight is intricately related to good health.

      Because of aging Baby Boomers, we’re also facing a Silver Tsunami:

      • The number of people over 65 will double in the next 20 years.

      • There are 10,000 new Medicare beneficiaries every day.

      • Currently, 40 million seniors make up 30 percent of the U.S. population. By 2030, this will grow to 72 million seniors.

      • Obesity in the senior population is way up: 38 percent of seniors were obese in 2009-2010, compared with 22 percent in 1988-1994.

      In the aggregate, over 60 percent of American adults weigh more than is healthy. It costs our nation roughly $147 billion each year in medical expenses for the direct treatment of obesity and for the treatment of obesity-related diseases.

      The reason for this expense is that people who are overweight are at-risk for serious diseases including heart disease, high blood pressure and diabetes which commonly occur together. The combination of these three conditions represents the Metabolic Syndrome which affects 25 percent of the population. These three disorders are clearly related. There is a direct reason for this.

      Image%2002%20-%20v2.tif

      Insulin

      Excess fat has an effect on the hormone insulin, which is supposed to control your blood sugar. When we ingest sugar, our pancreas secretes insulin. Insulin’s job is to move the sugar and the fat out of the bloodstream and into our cells where it can be used for energy. Unfortunately, excess total body fat causes insulin to lose some of its effectiveness. If your insulin is not working effectively—or if you don’t produce enough of it—sugar and fat build up in your blood vessels. Insulin also causes the kidneys to retain salt. This combination results in high blood pressure (hypertension), diabetes and cardiovascular disease which can lead to heart attacks and strokes. Ultimately, this is all due to the excess fat and almost always responds to weigh reduction. As you can see, people with a BMI greater than 25 definitely can benefit from weight-reduction counseling.

      Scientists have shown a relationship between high BMI and increased risk of other diseases and conditions, including:

      • Cancer (particularly uterine, breast and colon cancer)

      • Liver disease

      • Gallbladder disease (including gallstones)

      • Infertility

      • Osteoarthritis

      • Depression

      • Sleep disorders like sleep apnea

      • Gastroesophageal reflux (heartburn)

      We must address obesity and its related disorders. Unfortunately, there is not a lot of time during the typical office visit to spend teaching about nutrition. Because of time constraints, many, if not most, physicians resort instead to handing out print materials for the patient to read after the visit or they refer their patients to dietitians. Since I have always had a passion for nutrition, I took a different route.
