Shred Diet

Shred Diet

Dr. Smith combines low glycemic index foods with meal replacements and meal spacing. His concept, “diet confusion,” is modeled after the muscle confusion idea- when you do the same types of exercises at the same times, you muscles  acclimate to the stress and your progress stagnates, by “confusing” your muscle, you can trigger their sustained growth and continue to move towards your fitness goals. Dr. Smith claims that the same thing happens with your diet- you eat the same foods all the time, your body adjusts to that specific diet, your metabolism stabilizes and fat accumulates. In his diet, the types of foods and quantities are varied each week to “confuse” your body.  He states that in 6 weeks, most people who closely follow the program lose 4 inches and 2 sizes.

The Shred Diet is based on a 6 week cycle:

Smegma

What is Smegma?

Smegma is a natural, cheese-like substance that accumulates under the prepuce, or the foreskin in men and under the clitoral hood in women. The exact contents of these subpreputial accumulations are debated amongst scientists, though it certainly contains desquamated epithelial cells, or dead skin cells. The color can be white to yellow, depending on the person’s skin pigments, and it has a distinctive odor.

What is heat stroke? Symptoms

What is heat stroke?

Heat stroke is a form of hyperthermia, an abnormally elevated body temperature with accompanying physical and neurological symptoms. Unlike heat camps and heat exhaustion, two forms of hyperthermia that are less severe, heat stroke is a true medical emergency that can be fatal if not properly and promptly treated.

The body normally generates heat as a result of metabolism, and is usually able to dissipate the heat by either radiation of heat through the skin or by evaporation of sweat. However, in extreme heat, high humidity, or vigorous exertion under the sun, the body may not be able to dissipate the heat and the body temperature rises, sometimes up to 106°F (41.1°C) or higher. Dehydration can also lead to heat stroke. A dehydrated person may not be able to sweat fast enough to dissipate heat, which causes the body temperature to rise.

Cutis Laxa

Cutis laxa is a term that refers to markedly loose skin that is not hyperelastic. It is regarded as a genetically heterogeneous group of diseases and is presently divided into five types. The patient was the third child of first-cousin consanguineous, healthy parents. His two siblings died a few hours after birth. One of the siblings also had similar features and wrinkled skin.
