The Other Secrets Of My Success
In addition to "what to eat," the other aspects of my personal success formula include "how much," "when," and "with what"—also known as the science of "food combining"—something 99% of America is dismally unaware of. It should come as no surprise to you that most of us are getting it wrong in all four of these areas.
- what to eat
- how much to eat
- when to eat
- what to eat (and drink) with what
That's why we're in the mess we're in! And of course, most of us have colons that are barely functional, way out of tone, clogged with impacted fecal matter, and are little more than ticking time bombs from a healthcare point of view. In fact, our unclean colons may be causing us most of the health problems we have right now! (Please get the free Colon Cleanse report!)
As far is how much to eat, you'd be amazed how much better you'll feel when you stop "super-sizing" and start eating reasonable portions. I can recall the first meal I ever had in a McDonalds. I was about 14. I was really a bit disappointed at the small portion sizes of the burger, the fries, and even the Coke.
But nobody goes hungry there today! In fact, one single "combo" meal from a typical fast food restaurant now provides 100% of the calories most people need for a whole day! (And don't even get me started on the calorie content of a double-cream mocha latte!)
While there's no way I can cover my entire food philosophy in this brief space, I strongly suggest you do some reading on portion sizes, food combining, drinking-while-eating, and what time of day to eat the most. Or you can simply contact me for more information here.
I also want to emphasize that, important as nutrition is, it's virtually impossible to get to your ideal weight and stay there just by focusing on food (and/or exercise.) We are not just our bodies!! We were created body, mind, and spirit for a reason, and we absolutely can't afford to ignore or neglect any of these three aspects of who we are.
In fact, the real secret of lifetime weight loss success is to first get your spirit connected (or re-connected) to your Creator, and then begin the crucial process of "getting your head on straight"...
Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed
by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve
what God's will is--his good, pleasing and perfect will. (Romans 12:2)
...and only then focusing on nutrition and exercise. Or to put it in more worldly terms. spirit "trumps" mind, and mind trumps body.
So if you goal is to get your healthiest weight, safely, and stay there, begin by getting your priorities straight (spirit first), and your mind and body will follow!
[Follow-Up One Week Later]
Interestingly, I am still losing weight steadily (about 1'2 pound per day) on my roughly 1000-1100 calories a day, and I'm not hungry either. I used to be an after-dinner junk fooder (with ice cream on the weekends) and I decided it would be interesting to see what happened if I stopped that stuff.
It was tough for the first week, but the results on the scales made it worth the effort. Then, once the "habit" stopped screaming like a puppy left out in the rain, it got pretty easy not do eat the junk. Now, after 30 days, it's actually a habit NOT to eat junk food. I had a bit of an energy drop about 2 weeks into it, but now I have more energy than ever, and am 15 lbs lighter! (down from 164 to 149).
For the first time in 20 years, the budding love handles are gone. Don't get me wrong. I wasn't even technically overweight, much less obese. I just wasn't liking what I was seeing in the mirror. For me, that's about all it takes. A "Factor 2" violation had somehow crept up on me (oops--now I'm flirting with a Factor 4 violation!), and just got on my nerves. I could live with 159, but not 164. Do I practiced what I preach. Voila! It works great :-)
Re your personal transformation, you know, all we really need, down deep, is "permission" to be who we really are. For most of us, that's taken away early in life. I made sure you understood that you had my total permission to be who you are, and am helping you discover how to get your own!
Yours in total health,
