a diet that contains large amounts of protein, consisting largely of meats, fish, milk, legumes, and nuts. It
may beindicated in protein depletion that results from any cause, as a preoperative preparation, or for
patients with severe burnsand sepsis. It may be contraindicated in liver failure or when kidney function
is so impaired that added protein couldresult in azotemia and acidosis.
one which provides more than 15% of energy as protein. Traditionally, high-protein diets arelow-
carbohydrate diets. These diets are claimed to be effective for the reduction of body mass and body fat.
Extremely highprotein diets are claimed to suppress appetite through reliance on fat mobilization and
ketone body formation. In addition,the elevated thermic effect of dietary protein, with a relatively low
coefficient of digestibility (particularly in the case of plantproteins), reduces the net calories available
from ingested protein compared with a well-balanced diet of equivalent caloricvalue. The long-term
success of high-protein diets remains questionable and they may even pose health risks, includingkidney
damage, increased blood lipoprotein levels and dehydration. See also low-carbohydrate ketogenic diets.
A high protein diet is a type of weight loss plan that emphasizes consumption of high-protein-containing
foods. There are many different kinds of high protein diets. Many high protein diets may be risky for
overall health because they stress the consumption of meats and high protein foods containing saturated
fat and a high percentage of overall fat. According to the American Heart Association guidelines, adults
who are trying to lose weight and keep it off should eat no more than 30 percent of total daily calories
from fat and less than 7 percent from saturated fat, which is difficult or impossible with many high protein
diets. High protein diets may also restrict intake of important carbohydrates and low-fat dairy products.
The level of protein in the diet normally recommended is determined by the minimum daily
intake required to maintain nitrogen balance; that is, enough protein of a sufficiently high
quality to prevent the catabolism of own protein stores. This is a major issue, particularly
given the increased prevalence of sarcopenia in the elderly population.1 However, prevention
of autodigestion might not be the same as optimal health, and the concept that higher levels
of dietary protein could help prevent and treat disorders, such as obesity, metabolic
syndrome, type 2 diabetes (T2D) and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, is gaining
increasing support. This narrative review with emphasis on the DioGenes study aims to
present the evidence supporting the recommendation of higher protein diets for management
of obesity and T2D, and addresses the associated changes in cardiovascular risk factors.
Although focus will be on higher protein diets providing 2030% of the diet's energy, diets
with higher protein contents, including so-called low-carb diets (3050% of energy), will be
included, particularly in the reviewed meta-analyses.

Diet compliance
A total of 932 adults started the 8-week LCD period and 773 adults from 634 families started
the 6-month intervention period.15 The HP diet groups consumed 5.4% points more energy
from protein than the NP groups, and the HGI diet groups achieved 5.1 higher GI than the
LGI groups.
Figure 1
After an ~11kg weight loss among the adult obese parents achieved by a 8-week
800kcal/day diet, the entire family was randomized to different ad libitum diets with either
low or high glycemic index (LGI or HGI), in combination with either ...
Long-term effects
In the two supermarket centres the intervention consisted of 2 month LCD, 6 months with
free foods from the supermarket, and an additional 6 months with dietetic instruction. The
third part of the study enabled us to assess the longer-term effects of the diets, although in a
smaller cohort.16 The 256 adults who completed the 2 month LCD lost 11.2kg and the mean
weight regain over the 12-month intervention period for entire group was 3.9kg (95% CI 3.0
to 4.8). Subjects on the HP diets regained 2.0kg less than the NP group in completer analysis
(P=0.017), and 2.8kg (P<0.001) in the ITT analysis. No consistent effect of GI on weight
regain was found. For the entire 14-month intervention those on the higher protein diets lost a
total of 7.3kg compared with 4.5kg in the NP groups.16
The higher protein groups also regained 1.6kg less-fat mass (P=0.043) and 0.9cm less in
sagittal diameter compared with the NP groups (P=0.012). These effects were achieved by
reported differences in protein intake between the NP and HP groups of only 7% of energy.
Discussion
The most significant outcome of the DioGenes study was that very subtle changes in diet
composition with respect to protein and carbohydrates seem to have a major impact on
spontaneous caloric intake during ab libitum conditions that mimic real life, and hence
improve obese subjects' ability to maintain a rapid 10-kg weight loss. The changes in protein
to carbohydrate ratio and the reduction in GI had additive effects on weight control, but
exerted differential effects of various risk factors of CVD and diabetes. The impact of the diet
was remarkable among the children: the overweight and obese children started to lose weight
spontaneously; and also experienced improvements in various risk factors very consistent
with the improvements observed in their parents.
It was also evident that the acceptability of the diet was very high and that it was easily
incorporated into a normal food culture.27 This was supported by the findings that the higher
protein diets were more acceptable than the normal protein diets, whereas no differences
between the HGI vs LGI diets were found concerning acceptability and tolerability24 (Table
1). The observation that the drop-out rate was significantly lower in the higher protein and
LGI diet groups would normally be attributed to the greater weight loss and maintenance of
success, but it also indicates that the diets were easily incorporated into a normal food
culture, and that availability, cost and taste were not barriers for adopting the changed food
habits. The lower efficacy of the LGI diets after 1 year is very probably owing to the poor
availability of GI-labelled foods, and lack of information and emphasis on GI, in most
European countries.
Although the studies and analyses based on the DioGenes study clearly show that the higher
protein, LGI diet is superior to the conventional low-fat high-carb diet, the genetic analyses
also suggest that the effect is particularly marked and robust among 2/3 of the population
with a certain genetic make-up, whereas the protein to carbohydrate ratio is immaterial for
weight control in the last 1/3 of the population. The genetic variant in the rs987237 gene
seems to determine the effectiveness of the higher protein diet, that is, the higher protein diets
were beneficial for weight maintenance in the AA genotype group (67% of participants). If
replicated in other studies, this finding opens up for a more personalised nutrition based on
gene-nutrient interactions. However, no adverse effects have been found so these findings do
not preclude recommending this diet composition for all individuals with overweight
problems.
There are many ongoing studies designed to elucidate the mechanisms by which protein and
LGI carbohydrates exert their effects on appetite regulation, and studies point at enhanced
satiety mediated by GLP-1, PYY and perhaps CCK.11 Differential effects of various protein
sources have also been studied in DioGenes.9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28 Various
omics techniques have been applied in the29 DioGenes study to search for predictors of
weight loss and weight regain30, 31, 32, 33, 34 and these analyses may lead to a better understanding
of the inter-individual responsiveness to diets.
High cholesterol. Some protein sources -- like fatty cuts of meat, whole dairy products, and other
high-fat foods -- can raise cholesterol, increasing your chance of heart disease. However, studies
showed that people on the Atkins diet for up to 2 years actually had decreased bad cholesterol
levels.
Kidney problems. If you have any kidney problems, eating too much protein puts added strain on
your kidneys. This could worsen kidney function.
Osteoporosis and kidney stones. When you're on a high-protein diet, you may urinate more
calcium than normal. There are conflicting reports, but some experts think this could make
osteoporosis and kidney stones more likely.
Ketoacidosis is a metabolic state associated with high concentrations of ketone bodies, formed by the
breakdown of fatty acids and the deamination of amino acids. The two common ketones produced in
humans are acetoacetic acid and -hydroxybutyrate.

With the emergence of new digital technology, social media has become a marketing tool that
cigarette companies aim to exploit. Targeting people on an individual level, social media
allows organizations and companies to be much more specific and precise in accessing their
audiences.
A sociologist from the University of Indonesia (UI), Roby Muhamad, said technology had
enabled companies to enter the personal scope of consumers. Due to its characteristics, which
are personal in nature, social media allows an increased affinity, closeness or familiarity
between audiences and ideas or messages contained in advertisements, he went on.
'With social media, advertisements or any kind of persuasion will become more natural. A
person can be persuaded without feeling that he or she has been persuaded,' Roby told
thejakartapost.com in a recent interview.
As they target users' emotions, the sociologist added, advertisements and other media
products on social media can create an emotional bond, which is deeper and more
meaningful, so people feel their decision to consume or do something is part of their identity.
'In such a situation, if someone decides to consume something, it has nothing to do with
the rational calculation of profit and loss. What happens in this situation is a social calculus, in
which I do something not because this thing is beneficial to me or can inflict a loss for me, but
more because other people like me will do this thing,' said Roby, a sociology lecturer with
research expertise on social networking who is also involved in the Small Word Project
together with Duncan J. Watts and Peter Sheridan Dodds.

The widespread exposure of cigarette advertisements has become one of the main concerns
of the government in its efforts to prevent a growing pattern of youth smoking in the country.
Citing the World Health Organization (WHO) Country Profile 2015, the National Commission
on Tobacco Control said around 95 million people, or 38 percent of Indonesia's population,
are smokers, with 20 percent of youth using tobacco. Youth now start smoking younger, the
commission added.
Cigarette advertisements are deemed to have played a big role in the establishment of
consumerism. Studies show innovative and entertaining commercials are dominating
Indonesian television shows daily, blurring the lines between fantasy and reality.
'Many studies have proven that there is a significant relationship between influences that
can be felt from cigarette advertisements and prosmoking information, and social
environment exposure and smoking susceptibility,' said Aully Grashinta, a psychologist
from the University of Pancasila.
With such huge exposure to ads, people may not be able to determine whether they consume
a product because they really need it or just because they want to keep up their image. This
is because commercials convey a set of ideas that structure the way people look at the world,
influencing people's concept of reality.
'Teens must be aware that every person is prone to the tobacco industry's strategies so
they must be equipped with skills to reject prosmoking advertisements,' she said.
Citing data from the Indonesian Advertising Agency Association (P3I), the National
Commission on Tobacco Control revealed that the cigarette industry spent Rp 11.9 trillion
(US$916,44 million) in 2012 to expose adolescents to advertisements focused specifically on
young people, using the themes of adventure, lifestyle, bravery, life success, the beauty of
companionship, friendship and more.
'It is proven that the cigarette industry has exploited children to become replacement
smokers to ensure the continuity of its business, as has been written in their internal
documents,' the commission added, referring to an RJ Reynolds Tobacco Company internal
memo dated Feb. 29, 1984.
A communications expert from the University of Indonesia, Hendriyani, said the influence of
advertising on society was very subliminal. It worked slowly but could adhere to each person,
influencing him or her in making a decision. 'Advertising practitioners believe that
advertisements will influence people's ideas,' she said in a public discussion held by the
National Commission on Tobacco Control in Jakarta on March 2.
Citing advertising experts, Hendriyani said the creation of awareness was the first of four
steps, along with the creation of interest, desire and actions that would influence people's
decisionmaking.
'At first, people should be aware of the presence of an advertisement. If they aren't
aware of it, how can it be processed further? To touch the public's awareness, an
advertisement must be aired or published frequently and repeatedly. It must be created in
various forms. This is how an advertisement can get into the awareness of the people,'
Hendriyani said.
The most important thing to understand, she added, was that no cigarette company wanted
to spend trillions of rupiah to advertise its products if it did not have any impacts on its
business. 'It is impossible for a company to spend such a huge amount of money if
economically, it is meaningless,' said the expert.
The rapidly growing social media world may change the advertising share for television and
other mediums such as newspapers, magazines and radio as well as billboards. Although social
media targets its audience specifically on an individual level, it can still carry out promotional
activities on a large scale because of its low-cost digital character. 'Social media emerges
like a holy grail for marketing. We can reach individuals in large numbers,' said Roby.
With the increasing use of the internet and social media to expose youth to tobacco, Roby
said, Indonesia's antitobacco efforts must adapt to the new technology being used. 'It
depends how good we are at using the new tools. We have to find new ways for antitobacco
campaigns, which exploit the special characteristics of media that are currently most
dominant,' the sociologist said.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES:
We investigated the effect of natural honey on body weight and some blood
biochemical indices of diabetic subjects.
METHODS:
Forty-eight diabetic type 2 patients were randomly assigned into two groups: the
honey group received oral natural honey for 8 weeks, and the control group did not
take honey. Before the onset of the study (week 0) and after 8 weeks, weight
measurements were taken and fasting blood samples were drawn.
RESULTS:
After adjustment for the baseline values, there were no significant differences in
the fasting blood sugars between the two groups. Body weight, total cholesterol,
low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol and triglyceride decreased (P = 0.000), and
high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol increased significantly (P < 0.01) in honey
group. The levels of hemoglobin A(1C) increased significantly in this group (P <
0.01).
CONCLUSION:
The results of this study demonstrate that 8-week consumption of honey can
provide beneficial effects on body weight and blood lipids of diabetic patients.
However, since an increase in the hemoglobin A(1C) levels was observed, cautious
consumption of this food by diabetic patients is recommended.
One study found that regularly consuming honey could have beneficial effects on body weight and
blood lipids in people with diabetes. A significant increase in hemoglobin A1c, however, was also
observed. Another study showed that honey caused a lower glycemic response than that of glucose
alone. In addition, honey has anti-microbial and anti-bacterial properties, and is a source of
antioxidants, all of which can benefit people with diabetes.
Does this mean its better for people with diabetes to consume honey instead of sugar? Not exactly.
Both of these studies recommended more in-depth research on the subject. You should still limit the
amount of honey you consume, just as you would sugar.
Honey is also made up mostly of sugar, but its only 30 percent glucose and less than 40 percent
fructose. It contains other sugars and trace elements, which bees pick up while pollinating plants.
These can be helpful for allergy sufferers.
Honey is lower on the glycemic index than granulated sugar, but honey has more calories. One
tablespoon of honey comes in at 68 calories, whereas 1 tablespoon of sugar contains 49 calories.
One of the biggest benefits of honey for people with diabetes might just be in its concentrated flavor.
This means you can add less of it without sacrificing taste. Its recommended that people with diabetes
treat honey like any other added sugar, despite the possible health benefits associated with honey.
The American Heart Association recommends limiting added sugars to no more than 6 teaspoons (2
tablespoons) for women and 9 teaspoons (3 tablespoons) for men. You should also count your carbs
from honey and add them in to your daily limits. One tablespoon of honey has 17 grams of carbs.
Although many studies dont suggest honey for curing diabetes as honey contains more
carbohydrates and is sweeter than sugar. Whereas some researchers at the Islamic Establishment
for Education in the United Arab Emirates claim that consuming honey can lower the glucose
levels.
So, honey and diabetes are closely associated with treating diabetes. After discussing the brief
about diabetes now lets discuss can diabetics eat honey or not.
Honey possesses many medicinal benefits and is a rich source of many vital vitamins and minerals,
unlike sugars which are only empty calories. As per clinical trials in diabetics honey requires lower
levels of insulin relatively to the regular sugar. It is even noticed that honey does not raise the
blood sugar levels instantly like regular sugar does as honey has lower glycemic index.
It is also a must to mention that the level of glucose tolerance of an individual differs from another
diabetic person. Honey contains two types of sugars which are glucose and fructose and both
these types of sugars are absorbed by the body at different rates. According to the level of glucose
tolerance honey for diabetics can be consumed.
Manuka Honey
Buckwheat Honey
Neem Honey
Acacia Honey
Amongst these variants seem honey for diabetes is highly recommended in home remedies.
This neem honey is extracted from the flowers of neem naturally and possesses the benefits of
neem to control the blood sugar levels.
There are few Ayurveda remedies with honey for diabetes with type 2 and type 1 which are proven
to be beneficial for diabetics in controlling the blood sugar levels. So continue to read on and find
the best natural cures for leading a healthy life with diabetes.
Basil Leaves is known to increase the insulin levels, reduce glucose level and helps to prevent
cardiovascular complications in diabetics.
Neem Leaves extract is highly beneficial for improving the sensitivity of insulin in diabetics which
enables the body to regulate sugar levels in the body.
Turmeric contains potent anti-inflammatory properties which prevent the inflammation in the body
from killing insulin-producing cells. Thus turmeric is an effective ingredient in this remedy.
Honey curing diabetes is well discussed above but honey along with the combination of these
ingredients makes it a very effective remedy for stabilizing diabetes.
Things we need
Honey- 1 tbsp.
Dried Basil Leaves Powder- 50 grams
Dried Neem Leaves Powder- 50 grams
Turmeric Powder- 50 grams
Glass Jar
Process
1. Firstly take a mixing bowl and add in dried basil leaves powder.
2. Then add in neem powder and turmeric powder into basil leaves and mix well.

of honey.
5. Eat this honey for diabetes mixture early in the morning on an empty stomach.
6. This process must be repeated daily in the morning for regularizing blood sugar levels
naturally.
To avoid such serious health complications in diabetes people must start their day with healthy
breakfast for a supply of glucose. One might question that can diabetics have honey in breakfast.
For this researchers state that honey is a good natural alternative for adding glucose to breakfast
and maintaining the blood sugar levels in the morning. The combination of fresh fruits, cinnamon,
milk, yogurt, and honey as a breakfast recipe works wonders in curing diabetes.
Things we need
1. Firstly peel the banana and chop it into medium sized pieces.
2. Then wash the strawberries and cut it into 2 halves.
3. Later add the chopped fruits, milk, yogurt and honey and cinnamon powder into
blending jar.

5. Then pour the smoothie into a glass and drink it immediately.
6. This diabetes honey, cinnamon, and fresh fruits smoothie can be consumed for
breakfast as a honey for curing diabetes natural remedy.
As one of the major complications of diabetes is the kidney damage. To avoid kidney failure or
kidney related complications this honey, ginger, and lemon tea is very beneficial.
In this honey, lemon and ginger tea the high levels of zinc found in ginger helps in production and
secretion of insulin to control the blood sugar levels.
The other ingredients lemon with honey is even excellent for combating other harmful effects of
diabetes like blood pressure and heart problems.
Things we need
1. Take a large saucepan and add in water and sliced ginger pieces.
2. Then put the saucepan on the heat and let the ginger simmer in water for 20 minutes.
3. Later remove the saucepan from heat and add lemon juice and let it steep again for 20
minutes.
4. Then pour warm ginger lemon tea in a cup and add honey and stir well.
5. Serve with a lemon slice and enjoy this ginger and honey tea warm.
6. Try this delicious and highly beneficial ginger tea and resolve all the doubts about is
honey ok for diabetics are not.
Whereas people with diabetes type 2 are able to produce insulin but the body does not use it
effectively. In diabetes type 2 the risk of nerve and kidney damage is very high.
For preventing the risks the smoothie of bitter melon, lemon juice, ginger, honey and diabetes
type 2 is the perfect combination. Along with honey bitter melon is an excellent time-tested
ingredient for treating the diabetes type 2.
As bitter melon contains 3 active substances which help to reduce the blood sugar levels
substantially.
Things we need
1. Firstly soak the bitter melon pieces in water to which salt has been added to reduce the
bitterness.
2. Then remove the bitter melons from the salty water and rinse the bitter melon pieces
with plain water.
3. Later add the rinsed bitter melon pieces into the blending jar along with cup of
chilled water.
4. Then blend for 1 minute on high speed or until its smooth puree like consistency.
5. Later pour the bitter melon smoothie into a glass.
6. Then add honey, lemon juice, and grated ginger and stir well.
7. Drink this smoothie immediately for best results.
8. Try this smoothie with bitter melon, ginger, lemon juice, honey and blood sugar
9. Try this combination of honey and blood sugar as it is considered as a match made by
nature because honey helps in controlling blood sugar levels.
Still thinking honey for diabetes good or bad then try the above-mentioned remedies for treating
and stabilizing diabetes naturally.
If the symptoms of diabetes show no sign of improvement then it is always best suggested to
consult a diabetes specialist or a health specialist for expert guidance.
