Re: Am I still eating too much food?

Allow me to make some modifications to your eating plan. For lunch, you're consuming only sugar(carbohydrate). You should food combine at every meal for maximum benefit. BREAKFAST... with whole eggs, nitrate free bacon, turkey, etc. , sliced tomato and a teaspoon full of coconut oil covering your food along with a tea of your choosing(use Stevia as your sweetener). The theanine in tea leaves will put you in a favorable zen like state for work and although tea contains caffeine, the theanine negates the common side effects of anxiety / jitters associated with coffee. LUNCH....chicken (don't worry about the skin)..brocolli/spinach...coconut oil. DINNER..Fish(never fried)..leafy veggy of your liking...coconut oil. I recommend lemon or limes squeezed into gal of water with Stevia (taste like delicious lemon or lime aide) to be kept in the frig for easy access. Drink at meals and, if needed , place in small water bottle for travel/work. This takes the place of fattening fruit juices, sodas,etc. I have been preaching Stevia for 11 years and now even Coca Cola/Cargill get the picture with their Stevia brand TRUVIA. In the past, the FDA would not allow Stevia to be called a sweetener so that they could prolong the life of the corrupt /harmful artificial sweeteners liIke Aspartame. If you are feeling blue(mild depression) then you may need to address supporting healthy brain chemistry(Serotonin/Dopamine). DO this meal plan for one month and include some moderate exercise (walking) and you will be on your way to long term, healthy fat loss. Let's Go!

P.S.The medium chained triglicerides in coconut oil can safely turn up your metabolism without the anxiety/jitters associated with scam like weight-loss products that promise rapid weight loss using caffeine/ephedrine/ fucoxanthin, etc. or analogous ingredients and provide ,at best, only temporary weight loss(bone, muscle, water).

Re: Does anyone know a weight loss strategy???

Although there are many ways to lose weight, you must remember that the goal is not weight -loss. The goal is fat-loss. Weight-loss can be bone, muscle or water weight. Fat -loss is about losing excess body fat. At your age, according to the most reliable statistics, there is a good chance you drink sodas. The average American consumes 43,000 sodas in a lifetime. As a nation, we drink 178 million cans per/day! Many sodas contain High Fructose Corn Syrup and or Aspartame. Corn syrup was banned as a food additive in the early 1900's by Dr. Harvey Wiley, the head of The Bureau of Chemistry (now FDA), because it was causing diabetes in test animals. He accurately predicted that if we ever allowed corn syrup to be used as a food additive, we wiould become a nation of diabetics. Last year there were 21 million diabetics in this country with a healthcare cost to the taxpayers of $120 billion. Aspartame, denied approval by the FDA for 16 years in a row because of brain damage in test animals, is a narcotic excitotoxin that depletes Serotonin, the feel good hormone that effects mood and junk-food/drink craving. Aspartame is in nearly all chewing gum( see miniscule print ingredient labels). I am confident that the reason you don't "feel good" is Serotonin related. This is often the byproduct of improper dieting. According to Lancet, improper dieting reduces a key amino acid (tryptophan) that is required for the production of Serotonin. The #1 prescribed drugs in America for adults and children are the Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors...AKA anti-depressants (Prozac, Paxil, Zoloft,etc.). Also, the reduction of saturated fat and cholesterol in the diet compromises healthy brain function.These two healthy fats are essential for maintaining hormonal balance/good health and they do not compromise heart health. Make sure to eat your three meals each day(breakfast is the key). Food combine, protein, fats and carbohydrates at every meal. Include moderate exercise and you will be on your way to successful, healthy,long-term fat-loss.

Re: more reps or less reps

I have been involved in weight training for 45 years and I have never met a man or woman who truly had an issue with building muscle mass(bulk) too easily. I have heard of this phenomenon, but have yet to see it. It requires a manaical effort to acheive excessive muscle hypertrophy. As far as reps go, if you attend any track meet, the person with the higest degree of muscle tone( 100 yard sprinters< 10 secs) , spends the least amount of time at their discipline. If duration(reps) was the key to muscle tone, marathoners would be strung like a bow string. Instead, most of them look like they are suffering from TB. Intensity, not duration, is the key to acheiving muscle tone. Intensity(6-8reps), rest, and nutrition are the three axioms of success. It is difficult for most people to be completely intense for more than 6-8 reps. Many of the health/fitness magazines feature pictures/articles and recommendations of men/women who are manipulating hormones in an effort to acheive a look that by many standards is considered dramatic.

Re: Can't Lose Any $@#& Weight

The makeup of the calories is critical to the overall theory ( in/out ) of burn more than you consume. People can get fat on starvation diets(900cals per/day) if they consume junk-food/drink carbohydrate (Very few people crave and overconsume broccolli, spinach, etc.). Corrupted carbohydrate (chips, bagels, sodas,pastries, etc.) impacts blood sugar so dramatically that the pancreas is forced to release insulin as a protective measure in an effort to unload excees sugar into the fat cells so that it won't go to the brain/eyes and cause coma or blindness. Unlike proteins and fats, which are also used as building materials, carbohydrates are either used for instant energy(fuel) or stored as potential energy in the form of glycogen in the liver and muscles ( immediate energy for sudden burst movements like sprinting, weight lifting,etc.) or in the fat cells for long-term usage (steady state jogging, walking,etc.).

Re: Can't Lose Any $@#& Weight

Researchers universally agree that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It is the only meal that will accelerate your metabolism. If you are feeling hungry, your body is in the hoarding mode. Also remember, there are two types of hunger, real hunger and perceived hunger. Perceived hunger is the byproduct of depleted brain chemistry, primarily Serotonin.You are not consuming enough food at breakfast and therefore your body is hoarding body fat sensing that it may need to husband fuel resources for survival. If you will make a concious effort to eat a nutritious morning meal ( whole eggs, nitrate free bacon, sliced tomato and cover it with coconut oil (nothing hydrogenated), and continue with some moderate exercise,you will begin to make progress . In some cases, fat cells contain TNF alpha which initially causes them to be more resistant to releasing fat stores. Remember, the body will not allow you to lose more than 2-21/2 lbs of fat per week. Anything more than that will be bone, muscle or water weight. The goal must be fat loss not weight loss. Rapid Weight loss is the biggest scam of the supplement industry. There is no such thing as rapid fat -loss. Pay attention to recent presidential candidate Mike Huckabee who had tried every scheme in the book to lose weight. Out of sheer fear, he eliminated junk-food/drink carbohydrate (chips, bagels, sodas,white breads, pastries,sweets, etc.) from his diet and started to consume nutritious food on a regular schedule. He was patient and determined. After one year (Time flies, just think of how quickly your bills seem to arrive each month) he lost nearly 100 lbs. I can assure you he will never be heavy again. He did it the right way. Remember, successful,long term healthy fat -loss... not impressive,unsustainable, temporary weight-loss.

Re: breakfast advice

For breakfast,eat whole eggs, nitrate free bacon and a sliced tomato with a paddy of coconut oil. If you consume dairy, stay away from low fat , no fat as it is the most fattening. The Glycemic index of skim milk is 32...whole milk...27. Remember...eat fat(nothing fried or hydrogenated) with every meal . It slows the time(transient time)it takes for your food to enter the portal vein for nutrient distribution. The Medium chained triglycerides in coconut oil will accelerate your metabolism by up to 50% without the negative side effects of anxiety or jitters that you get from popular weight-loss supplements like Hydroxycut which end up depleting your Serotonin levels and lead to mild depression and junk-food/drink carbohydrate craving.

Re: Cholesterol

guest — Mon, 08 Dec 2008 20:22:59 GMT

Cholesterol is not the cause of heart disease. (Google Dr. Mary Enig..world leading lipid biochemist). When Paul Dudley White introduced the electrocardiogram machine to his colleagues at Harvard med school in the early 1900's, they advised him to find a field of medicine where there were patients. CHD is the byproduct of the corrupted food supply (junk-food/drink carbohydrate) that causes the body to overproduce insulin (hyperinsulinemia) which damages the subfractions(particles) that comprise the LDL. Instead of healthy ,large ,fluffy flakes, the damaged ,tightly compressed particles get trapped in the gap junction of the cells lining the arterial wall. Any molecule that stops moving through the system will oxidize(think rust), inflame and cause problems. The only thing that modulates particle size is diet. When you restrict cholesterol intake, the body goes into shock and starts producing Hydroxy Methyl Glutaryl CoA Reductase, an enzyme that converts carbohydrate into cholesterol. Statin drugs attempt to inhibit this process. Unfortunately, statins also stimulate the expression of the atrogin-1 gene that causes the the muscles to atrophy(Google Dr. Vikas Sukhatme). The heart is a muscle. Statins also inhibit the production of Co Q-10, the very enzyme that gives life/energy to cells. For details on this simply Google... Danger of Statin Drugs. Also Google... Dr. Duane Graville... whose wife found him wandering around, lost and suffering from transient global amnesia in his own backyard three weeks after taking Lipitor. If the legislation before Congress doesn't pass(no one can be sued if a med has FDA approval), a wave of suits against big Pharma and med community will surface. People with high cholesterol live longer than people with low cholesterol. 500 million people are on Statins. Statins and the Cholesterol myth will go down as one of the biggest boondoggles in medical history.

Why do so many people crave junk-food/drink?

guest — Sun, 07 Dec 2008 20:12:38 GMT

Over 80% of the American public suffers from a blue mood or mild depression that is the direct result of depleted levels of the key neurotransmitter Serotonin. It is not a coincidence that according to the CDC, by 2005,the #1 prescribed drug for adults and children were the Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors AKA anti- depressants(Paxil, Prozac, Zoloft,etc.).When Serotonin levels are low, the body instinctively knows that consuming this type of corrupted carbohydrate will cause the brain to produce a burst of this feel good hormone Serotonin. That is why this type of food/drink is often referred to as mood food, comfort food, emotional eating. The problem is, the price the American public is paying for this short term fix is fat storage. Junk-food/drink destabalizes blood sugar so dramatically that the pancreas is forced to overproduce the fat storing hormone insulin as a protective measure. Blood sugar can be toxic at certain levels and that is why diabetics are constantly monitoring their glucose levels. As many of you know, they inject insulin so that the excess sugar in their bloodstream can be unloaded into the fat cells before it damages the brain or eyes, the first stop for blood sugar.

The medical community for years has led the public to believe that consuming fat laden foods was responsible for weight gain.Eating fat doesn't make you fat, eating fat producing junk-food/drink does. Eating fat does not provoke an insulin response from the body and it is impossible to store fat without the presence of insulin.You should eat fat (nothing fried or hydrgenated)with every meal, it retards the time (transient time) it takes for your food to be converted into blood sugar. The reduction of fat in the diet has been one of the most costly bits of misinformation by a medical community who until 1994, studied very little about nutrition. You still have noted physicians like Dr. Kenneth Cooper (aerobics)touting skim milk( The glycemic index of skim is 32, whole milk is 24). Milk is glucose/galactose or sugar. The more fat, the less it impacts blood sugar. Americans are eating less fat than ever before and a trip to any mall will reveal the low fat doctrine to be a miserable failure! For valid tips on golf think Tiger Woods, for physics think of a man named Einstein and for the skinny on fats/cholesterol ,Google Dr. Mary Enig / Sally Fallon.

It's all in your head. Support healthy brain chemistry and reduce the brutal cravings for the food/drink that has been forcing your body to store fat. Eat right...get tight!
