Key # 9 - Do a JUICE FAST to help Cleanse Your Body of Toxins

Juice fasting is a key part of the weight loss picture. In fact, in my opinion,

juice fasting should be the very first step in any weight loss program.

I've written extensively on "Juice Fasting" in this blog several months ago.

I highly recommend that you go back and read some of my earlier postings on this important topic. You'll find a lot of very useful information, including why you should do a juice fast, why a juice fast is better than a water fast, how to properly do a juice fast, how to get started, how to take enemas during your juice fast and the health reasons to do so, what kind of juices and vegetable broths to drink during your fast, and lastly, how to wisely and carefully break a juice fast.

One of the biggest reasons to do a juice fast is that you give your body a chance to purify itself and cleanse itself from all of the toxins that have built up in your system and in your cells. This is critical to detoxifying your body and resetting your metabolism.

Please go back and read my February 3, 2008, posting on Juice Fasting.

I did an 8-day juice fast for rejuvenation and health reasons, and in the process I lost 12 pounds and lost 4 inches off of my waist. I went from a size 36 waist down to a size 32. I saw all kinds of awful things come out of me and I completely lost my belly. It was the best fast I've ever done because I did it correctly. Take a few minutes and go back and read about it to inspire you to do the same.

And always remember, the secret to losing weight and keeping it off, is to make nutritious and healthy LIFESTYLE CHANGES that become positive healthy habits in your daily routine. Systematic undereating and resisting the temptation to overeat is the first step to change.

Daily Quote: "I believe that no single factor plays a more significant role in the origin of disease - or in its cure or prevention - than obtaining sufficient dietary FIBER." - Ted Broer

One of the most important keys to good nutrition and tips to eating healthy is getting enough dietary fiber in your foods every day. Your digestive system, especially the colon and large intestine, become constipated when too little water and dietary fiber are consumed. The U.S. Public Health Service has stated that approximately 90% of all Americans have a clogged colon to some degree. It is sad but true that Americans are one of the most constipated people in the whole world. We should be eating at least 25-30 grams of fiber a day, but shockingly, many Americans have a hard time consuming 30 grams of fiber a week!


According to licensed nutritionist and exercise physiologist, Ted Broer, "I am also convinced that no other single health condition plays so great a role in the development of disease as does constipation. Constipation has been shown to have a role in the development of hemorrhoids, heart disease, artherosclerosis, cancer (too many types to mention), diabetes, gall bladder disease, kidney stones and ulcers - just to name a few."

WHAT IS FIBER & WHAT DOES IT DO FOR YOUR BODY?
What is fiber? Simply put, fiber is the part of your food that cannot break down or be digested by your digestive system. Dietary fiber, or "roughage," is found abundantly in living plant foods such as vegetables, fruits, and grains. Fiber comes in two forms - soluble and insoluble fiber. Soluble fiber easily dissolves in water, so it can be easily absorbed in the intestine and circulated in the blood stream. Soluble fiber, such as pectin found in most fruits, in the blood can attach itself to blood fats and create a complex that removes these fats from the blood system, which in turn lowers cholesterol.

Insoluble fiber also absorbs water, but it remains in the intestine and forms the majority of the bulk necessary to collect and push bodily wastes through the intestine and out of the body. Food waste and bodily processes more very slowly, if at all, through the colon without the assistance of insoluble fiber. In this unhealthy case, the slow-moving mass can putrefy or rot right in the body causing the body to start poisoning itself. As you can see, insoluble fiber is critical to healthy functioning of the bowels and the whole elimination process.

THREE MAIN CAUSES OF CONSTIPATION
What's causing so much constipation (and all of its related illnesses) in America and the Western world? There are three main causes that need to be addressed and resolved. The first and foremost cause is our unhealthy low-fiber diet. This consists of denatured, bleached, refined, processed foods and flours, as well as a lack of fresh vegetables and fruit. When our wheat flour is refined, they take out over 50 healthy nutrients, and then add 12 synthetic vitamins that are totally indigestible. Then they put it on the supermarket shelves and advertise it as "enriched" wheat flour or bread. The food manufacturers basically throw away the good nutrition and leave Americans with an unhealthy malnutrition processed "food." No wonder almost everyone in America is constipated! And don't forget, most Americans don't even come close to eating the recommended 5-13 servings of vegetables and fruit per day.

The second cause of constipation is not drinking enough water every day. Water is an essential element to the whole digestion, assimilation, and elimination process. Without enough water, food that is digested slows down or comes to a stop. Think of water being like the oil in your car's engine. Without oil, the moving parts would wear each other down and the engine would quickly "freeze" up and break down completely. Likewise, without enough water, your body will become dehydrated and will start to "freeze" up and break down. It won't be able to process food properly or eliminate the waste properly.

The third cause of constipation is a lack of exercise. When your body does not get enough physical activity, food in your intestines and colon starts to slow down. For this reason alone, everyone should go for a 30-60 minute walk every day.

How do you know if you're "regular" enough? The basic guideline to use is this: everyone should have two or three bowel movements a day. This helps all waste matter move quickly through the large intestine and colon. This transit time should ideally be less than eighteen hours, and no more than twenty-four hours.

DO THESE 3 THINGS TO STAY "REGULAR"
1. Drink plenty of natural spring water every day. You should be drinking half your weight in ounces daily. In other words, if you're 160 pounds, you need to drink 80 ounces of water throughout the day.
2. Go for a daily walk to get the regular exercise your body needs.
3. Eat lots of dietary fiber every day and make significant changes to your create a healthy optimum diet. Your body needs at least 25-30 grams of fiber a day. It would also greatly help your system if you eliminated constipation-causing foods such as processed "enriched" wheat flour (white four) and other highly refined, denatured, bleached, processed flour.

GREAT SOURCES OF DIETARY FIBER FOR SUPER HEALTH
1. Fresh, organic vegetables, greens, fruits, and berries - These are all excellent sources of fiber. Aim at eating 75% of your vegetables and greens raw in the form of a healthy vegetable salad every day. Aim at eating 100% of your fruits & berries raw.
2. Beans and legumes. Learn how to soak and cook these yourself, and freeze portions for later use. These are probably the best source of fiber.
3. Brown rice. It has all the fiber and minerals that white rice lacks.
4. 100% whole wheat bread and flour, as well as 100% whole grain breads and flours such as rye, buckwheat, etc. Use these in all of your baking and cooking.
5. Whole grain cereals. These can be hot porridge-type cereals or cold cereal made from 100% whole grains.
6. Eat the skins of potatoes and of other organic fruits & vegetables.
7. Add oat bran, wheat bran, and wheatgerm to your meals.
8. Snack on sun-dried fruit - Enjoy apricots, dates, prunes, raisins, etc., which are all concentrated sources of fiber and nutrients.
9. Instead of drinking fruit juice and vegetable juice, eat the fruit and vegetables themselves so that you get all that healthy dietary fiber.
10. Eat flaxseed and chia seeds. These are a very healthy source of mucilaginous fiber that help relieve constipation and speed up the transit time for elimination.

Here's what Thomas Edison had to say about the future of health.

"The doctor of the future will give no medicine but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease."

And always remember, the secret to losing weight and keeping it off, is to make nutritious and healthy LIFESTYLE CHANGES that become positive healthy habits in your daily routine. Systematic undereating and resisting the temptation to overeat is the first step to change.

Water & Weight Loss Pt 7 - Keys to Good Nutrition & Eating Healthy Feast on Organic Whole Food

HEALTHY WEIGHT LOSS - PT 7

Let me begin by apologizing for not posting for about a week. I've been under a lot of stress moving my family into a new home, and with all the packing and setting up of our new home, I haven't had any time to write for my blog readers. Beginning next week I should be able to get back on track with this series on weight loss.

Today I'd like to continue this series on successful healthy weight loss. I'll be sharing practical things you can do to lose weight and to maintain a healthy weight for your height and body shape.

By way of review,
here are the other three keys that we've covered so far.

Key #1 - Stop overeating and practice systematic undereating.

Key #2 - Eat for nutrition, for energy, for life.
Listen, seek, research, learn, study, and understand that there are keys of knowledge that will help you unlock the secrets to a long, healthy life and successful weight loss and weight management. These keys to good nutrition and tips to healthy eating will open a whole new world of health, life, and vitality to you. I believe you were created by God and destined to a life of health and prosperity.

Key #3 - EAT ONLY HEALTHY ORGANIC NATURAL WHOLE FOODS

Key #4 - EXERCISE DAILY

Key #5 - ELIMINATE ALL ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS, HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP, AND WHITE SUGAR

Key # 6 - ADD ORGANIC VIRGIN COCONUT OIL TO YOUR DIET

Key # 7 - DRINK NATURAL SPRING WATER (HALF YOUR BODY WEIGHT IN OUNCES) EVERY DAY, AND START YOUR DAY WITH A LARGE GLASS OF WATER WITH SOME LEMON AND SOME ORGANIC APPLE CIDER VINEGAR

Starting your day with a large glass of natural spring water with some lemon squeezed in and some organic apple cider vinegar will help kick start your body's natural metabolism and cleansing. DO NOT DRINK TAP WATER! Tap water is loaded with all kinds of toxic chemicals that will harm your body. If you are overweight, you need to drink plenty of good natural spring water throughout the day to help your body flush out toxins and cleanse itself. Apple cider vinegar has been shown to be effective in helping people lose weight. I recommend putting one tablespoon of Bragg's Organic Apple Cider Vinegar into a glass of water with some lemon and if needed, a teaspoon of natural unheated raw honey.

If you really want to go all the way, you will also want to add a shake of cayenne pepper into your glass of water because it will help increase your metabolism and make you burn fat quicker. As you can imagine, drinking a large glass of water, cayenne pepper, organic apple cider vinegar, a big squeeze of lemon, and possibly some raw honey, is not going to be easy to do because of the taste. However, if you get into the habit of doing this every morning, it will become a regular part of your morning routine and you won't mind doing it.

One other idea is to make yourself a morning smoothie with some fresh or frozen organic fruit and berries, add some live whole food like The Feast (by Uri International), and then put in your lemon, apple cider vinegar, honey, and cayenne pepper, along with a banana to thicken it. This, in fact, is what I do every morning myself. This has been my daily morning routine for a year now, and I love making this smoothie every morning. Of course, I also add a few other things such as some Himalayan Crystal Salt, some freshly ground up flax seed, some fiber, and some coconut oil. It tastes great, is very filling, gives me plenty of energy, keeps me going until around 12 or 1 pm, is very healthy for me, and helps cleanse my body of toxins and set my metabolism to burn fat efficiently.

And always remember, the secret to losing weight and keeping it off, is to make nutritious and healthy LIFESTYLE CHANGES that become positive healthy habits in your daily routine. Systematic undereating and resisting the temptation to overeat is the first step to change.

Key #5 - ELIMINATE ALL ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS, HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP, AND WHITE SUGAR

Key # 6 - ADD ORGANIC VIRGIN COCONUT OIL TO YOUR DIET

Adding organic virgin coconut oil to your diet will help you lose weight. If you're interested in all of the details about this amazing natural oil, I've included a link to an excellent article.

"The Great Fat Debate:
Why Virgin Coconut Oil is Best"

It's quite a lengthy in-depth article, so I've included the link for you to click on if you'd like to read it. It is loaded with useful information and research findings on virgin coconut oil.

Before I forget, I wanted to let you know that URI International sells an excellent Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil called "Coconut Pure."
Prices are: 18 fluid oz. $18.95, 32 fluid oz. $29.95, and 128 fluid oz. $72.95.

If you'd like to order some of this amazing coconut oil, click on the following link:
Coconut Pure by URI: Organic Virgin Coconut Oil
Below the link I will post a few of the most important points that I believe are worth remembering.

ARTICLE LINK: The Great Fat Debate - Why Virgin Coconut Oil Is Best

Summary of the most important points from the article:

1. Coconut oil is made up of medium-chain fatty acids (MCFA’s).

2. MCFA’s actually helps us to lose weight, lower cholesterol, improve diabetic conditions and reduce the risk of heart troubles.

3. One of the most outstanding benefits of consuming MCFA’s is that they do not require the liver to digest and emulsify them. This means instant energy and increased thermogenesis (increased metabolic rate in the body) which leads to more heat production as well as improved circulation.

4. For anyone with impaired fat digestion or a removed gallbladder, coconut oil is the only oil to consume as it is very easily digested.

5. MCFA’s are also known for having antimicrobial and anti-fungal properties, so they are beneficial to our immune system.

6. In addition, coconut oil assists people with under-active thyroids by increasing the metabolic rate of the body and creating more energy.

Ray Peat Ph.D., a physiologist who has worked with progesterone and related hormones since 1968, says that the sudden surge of polyunsaturated oils in the food chain post World War II has caused many changes in hormones. He writes:

"Their [polyunsaturated oils] best understood effect is their interference with the function of the thyroid gland. Polyunsaturated oils block thyroid hormone secretion, its movement in the circulatory system, and the response of tissues to the hormone. When the thyroid hormone is deficient, the body is generally exposed to increased levels of oestrogen. The thyroid hormone is essential for making the ‘protective hormones’ progesterone and pregnenolone, so these hormones are lowered when anything interferes with the function of the thyroid. The thyroid hormone is required for using and eliminating cholesterol, so cholesterol is likely to be raised by anything that blocks the thyroid function. It is very interesting to note that high cholesterol is not a sign of eating too much saturated fat. High cholesterol in a lot of the cases is due to an under-active thyroid which affects the liver as well as the many loops and feedback systems within the endocrine system. Stress and the over consumption of carbohydrates/sugars also form high levels of cholesterol."

And always remember, the secret to losing weight and keeping it off, is to make nutritious and healthy LIFESTYLE CHANGES that become positive healthy habits in your daily routine. Systematic undereating and resisting the temptation to overeat is the first step to change.

Healthy Weight Loss Pt 5 Sweeteners - Keys to Good Nutrition & Tips to Eating Healthy Feast on Organic Whole Food

HEALTHY WEIGHT LOSS - PT 5

Let's continue this series on healthy weight loss.

Today I'll be sharing practical things you can do to lose weight and to maintain a healthy weight for your height and body shape.

By way of review,
here are the other three keys that we've covered so far.

Key #1 - Stop overeating and practice systematic undereating.

Key #2 - Eat for nutrition, for energy, for life.

Listen, seek, research, learn, study, and understand that there are keys of knowledge that will help you unlock the secrets to a long, healthy life and successful weight loss and weight management. These keys to good nutrition and tips to healthy eating will open a whole new world of health, life, and vitality to you. I believe you were created by God and destined to a life of health and prosperity. Here's the next key to add to your lifestyle.

Key #3 - EAT ONLY HEALTHY ORGANIC NATURAL WHOLE FOODS

Key #4 - EXERCISE DAILY

Key #5 - ELIMINATE ALL ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS, HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP, AND WHITE SUGAR

To put it rather bluntly, all artificial sweeteners, high fructose corn syrup, and white sugar will make you fat. They will mess up your metabolism. They will trigger insulin overproduction.

Do NOT believe what you're being told by food manufacturers and their slick advertisements! They are simply lying to you about their artificial sweeteners in order to cause you to choose their products and to keep you fat.

AVOID ASPARTAME, NUTRASWEET, SPLENDA, SAACHARIN, HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP, and all other types and kinds of artificial sweeteners. If it's a "Man-Made Sweetener," then you want to avoid it. All of these artificial sweeteners are DANGEROUS to your health and are not good for your waistline. There is a TON of EVIDENCE out there that proves just how dangerous these poisons are to your body and how they have caused so much illness to millions of Americans.

I have written several posts all about the dangers of these artificial sweeteners and why you should avoid them at all costs. Please take some time to look back at my earlier posts and read what I have already written. I do not want to repeat myself in this posting, except to give you this very important WARNING: ELIMINATE ALL THESE WHITE ARTIFICIAL MAN-MADE SWEETENERS from your diet and AVOID ALL PRODUCTS MADE WITH THEM.

Let me give you a clear warning. These artificial sweeteners are just about in everything. You've got to start READING LABELS when you're out shopping for your groceries, and you've got to start avoiding all products that contain these dangerous, unhealthy, and fattening ingredients. Be particularly careful to avoid these artificial sweeteners in the following products:

Diet Soda, gum, candy, fruit juices, ice cream, cake, cookies, pastries, jam, etc.

And finally, don't be suckered in by terms like "diet," "fat-free," "sugar-free," "calorie-free," "carb-free," "no net carbs," etc. These are terms advertisers use to get you to buy their junky, unhealthy, fattening foods. For example, when something says that it is "sugar-free" or "diet," it usually means that it's loaded with artificial sweeteners like Aspartame that will poison your system, cause you all kinds of long-term health problems, and make you fat as well.

QUESTION: WHAT SWEETENERS ARE HEALTHY?

Good question.

STEVIA
ORGANIC AGAVE NECTAR
ORGANIC UNHEATED, UNFILTERED NATURAL HONEY

These are the three best natural "God-made" sweeteners
that are good for your health and that won't make you fat
if you use them in moderation.

And always remember, the secret to losing weight and keeping it off, is to make nutritious and healthy LIFESTYLE CHANGES that become positive healthy habits in your daily routine. Systematic undereating and resisting the temptation to overeat is the first step to change.

I believe you were created by God and destined to a life of health and prosperity. Here's the next key to add to your lifestyle.

Key #3 - EAT ONLY HEALTHY ORGANIC NATURAL WHOLE FOODS

Okay, I hope you're still with me. In this series I'm going to cover all of the most important aspects of losing weight and keeping it off. For that reason, please stay tuned and follow with me as I proceed over the next few weeks to give you all the pieces to the puzzle.

Key #4 - EXERCISE DAILY

I know most people don't want to hear about this "Key" to losing weight, but deep down in their hearts, they know that daily exercise is fundamental to losing weight and to fitness. I'm not going to go into all of the reasons that it's important to exercise daily because I believe you already know most of them. Most people don't need more knowledge about exercise and why they need to do it. Instead, they just need a firm "kick in the pants" to get them out the door until it becomes a daily habit and part of their daily routine.

The best kind of exercise that I can recommend is first of all - WALKING.

Walking is free; it doesn't cost you anything to do and you don't need to go out and buy any special equipment to do it. It's relaxing to your mind and invigorating to your body. You can do it before work, during your lunch break, or after work.

Here are a few guidelines. First, make sure you walk fast and make your time a "power walk" rather than a gentle stroll. Second, don't do your exercise walking in congested streets full of automobiles and toxic gases! Go and find a quiet, beautiful, scenic place to walk where the air is clean. Third, try to walk for at least 30-60 minutes a day. If you don't have that much time at one time, then break it up. Walk for 15 minutes in the morning, and then 30 after work. Wear good walking shoes or running sneakers.

I also recommend using a MINI-TRAMPOLINE, also known as a "REBOUNDER." This looks like a small trampoline, and all you do is jump up and down on it. To increase your work out, you can have small weights in your hands that you pump up and down or curl with your arms. Work out on your rebounder for 5-10 minutes a day. It sounds easy, but it's not at first. You'll have to build up to 10 minutes. However, this simple work out will work and energize every cell in your body, so it's actually very effective in weight loss and helping with your metabolism. In fact, most exercise will help increase your metabolism.

The third type of exercise I would like to recommend is SEXERCISE!

Let me qualify that statement a bit. By "sexercise," I mean having vigorous sex with your spouse. If you're not married, then this recommendation is not for you at this time (wait till you have found the right one and entered the covenant of marriage). In order to do this type of exercise, of course you'll need the cooperation of your spouse. Here's what I suggest. Sit down with your spouse some quiet evening, look him or her directly in the eyes, and share your heart with them. Tell him/her that you are very serious about losing weight, that you're starting to apply what you're learning in this blog (elaborate for their benefit), and that you're now ready to start adding exercise to your daily routine. Explain my recommendations about walking, and ask him or her if they'd like to join you in your daily walk. Then explain about the rebounder and that you're going to go out and buy one and start using it. Finally, explain that you'd also like to do the third type of exercise that I recommend, which is called "sexercise." After he or she stops laughing, ask them if they would be willing to help you out with this third type of daily exercise and when you can schedule it into your busy lives. If daily sexercise is just too much for your spouse, then seek to compromise and do it every other day. Remind them how much you love them, how much fun sex is, that it's free, that it's a gift of God for married couples to enjoy, that it has been proven to be very good for your health, and that you'd like to share this intimate time with them every day or every other day. * Who ever said losing weight couldn't be fun!!

There are lots of other forms of exercise that you can also choose to do, but the most important thing is to choose something that you like doing, that is fun for you, and that you enjoy. That will give you the highest chance of sticking with it and doing it every day. Of course, it's okay to take one day off a week from your exercise.

Here are some other good forms of exercise to consider.

Swimming, bicycling, hiking, running/jogging, rowing, skiing, rollerskating, volleyball, tennis, raquetball, soccer, etc.

I encourage you to start exercising daily right away and add this "key" to your weight loss program and new healthy lifestyle.

And always remember, the secret to losing weight and keeping it off, is to make nutritious and healthy LIFESTYLE CHANGES that become positive healthy habits in your daily routine. Systematic undereating and resisting the temptation to overeat is the first step to change.

I'll be sharing practical things you can do to lose weight and to maintain a healthy weight for your height and body shape.

By way of review,
here are the other two keys that we've covered so far.

Key #1 - Stop overeating and practice systematic undereating.

Key #2 - Eat for nutrition, for energy, for life.

Listen, seek, research, learn, study, and understand that there are keys of knowledge that will help you unlock the secrets to a long, healthy life and successful weight loss and weight management. These keys to good nutrition and tips to healthy eating will open a whole new world of health, life, and vitality to you. I believe you were created by God and destined to a life of health and prosperity. Here's the next key to add to your lifestyle.

Key #3 - EAT ONLY HEALTHY ORGANIC NATURAL WHOLE FOODS

Eat foods that are grown organically, not with chemical pesticides and herbicides. Eat live whole foods, not processed foods. Eat natural foods, not artificial foods and additives. Eat foods that are grown naturally, without hormones and antibiotics. Eat raw foods. Try to eat at least 75% of your foods raw in their natural whole food state. Eat a lot of vegetables and greens, organic of course. Also eat plenty of fruits and berries. Eat non-GM (genetically modified) foods; avoid all genetically modified and genetically engineered foods. Eat whole food grains, legumes, beans, seeds, and nuts. Eat only organically grown and grass fed natural chicken, turkey, lamb, bison, and beef. Eat only wild ocean fish with fins and scales, and avoid all farm raised fish and seafood scavengers. Eat only full spectrum Himalayan crystal salt, avoiding all table salt (sodium chloride). Eat traditionally fermented lactic acid foods like sauerkraut, sour pickles, miso, raw yogurt, raw kefir, apple cider vinegar, etc.

One of the biggest reasons that people become overweight is they are eating the wrong kinds of food. Therefore, one of the first steps to correct the situation is to stop eating the wrong kinds of food and to start eating the right kind of nutritious foods that the body needs to function properly.

And always remember, the secret to losing weight and keeping it off, is to make nutritious and healthy LIFESTYLE CHANGES that become positive healthy habits in your daily routine. Systematic undereating and resisting the temptation to overeat is the first step to change.

Weight Loss Pt 2 - Keys to Good Nutrition & Eating Healthy Feast on Organic Whole Food

HEALTHY SUCCESSFUL WEIGHT LOSS - PT 2

Today let's continue this series on healthy weight loss.

I will be sharing practical things you can do
to lose weight and to maintain a healthy weight.

"EAT TO LIVE - DON'T LIVE TO EAT."

One of the keys to good nutrition and tips to eating healthy is to eat for the right reasons. Have you ever thought of that? Have you ever asked yourself why you eat every day? It seems, on the surface, like a simple question with an obvious answer. However, when you understand the deeper ramifications of this question, you will realize that it is really quite a profound question.

Key #2 - EAT FOR NUTRITION, FOR ENERGY, FOR LIFE

Some people eat as though they were going to go out and do the hardest kind of physical labor! They sit down at the table, for example, and eat a large heavy breakfast loaded with protein, carbohydrates, fats, and sugars. And yet the truth is that they are very sedentary people who eat out of habit and conditioning. These same people often work in an office or in a store where they sit or stand around all day doing very little physical labor at all. They will usually eat a quite unhealthy snack in the morning. Around noon they will eat a heavy meal, followed a little later by an afternoon snack. After work, they come home and have the biggest meal of the day consisting of meat, potatoes, bread, dessert, and a beverage. Typically they watch TV after dinner while eating yet another fattening snack.

The person living the average, inactive and sedentary life can't possibly burn up these large amounts of food! What happens to people who eat this way? They end up being overweight or obese, they feel tired or exhausted most of the time, and they live their entire lives being sick. They fill the doctors' offices, pharmacies, and hospitals with all the health problems brought on by their unhealthy eating habits.

This kind of daily compulsive over-eating is making millions of people exhausted, fat, and sick. This habitual over-eating is sending them to doctors, hospitals, nursing homes, and too many to an early grave! As the Roman philosopher, Seneca, once said,
"Men do not die; they kill themselves."
This tragic story is being played out all across the Western world. Millions of people are grossly overweight and sick due to unhealthy lifestyles and poor eating habits.

Not only do millions of people overeat or overfuel their bodies, but they also overfuel on the wrong kinds of food. The food that they consume is generally not nutritious and is loaded with toxins and other substances that make their bodies fatter and sicker and more tired. Because their bodies are truly malnourished from bad nutrition, they constantly feel hungry because their bodies are not getting the nutrients that they need. In addition, overeating puts a severe strain on the body's organs and the digestive tract to try to keep up with all of that food. By overeating they are stressing out the machinery of their entire body because they never give their body time to rest and repair itself. What they really need to do is to get into the habit of fasting one day a week to help their system unclog and cleanse itself.

Why Do You EAT?

Many people eat three large meals a day because they were told at a young age that they should. They have been conditioned to eating not only three large daily meals, but also to eating snacks throughout the day. I believe that most people eat this way out of habit and conditioning, and for the wrong reasons. A lot of times people eat because it meets some deep emotional need in their souls such as comfort, which is why we call some foods, "comfort foods." Some people overeat because they are lonely and eating food makes them feel better. Some people overeat simply because they are bored. Other people overeat because they are simply gluttens, meaning they have an unhealthy kind of "lust" for food that gives them a lot of pleasure and a physical high. All of these reasons are not good or healthy reasons to eat or to overeat.

EAT FOR NUTRITION AND ENERGY AND LIFE

I would like to suggest that the best reasons to eat (not overeat) are to feed your body the good nutrition it needs, to provide your body the energy it needs to work and live, and to give your body the life that it needs to be happy and productive. In other words, "eat to live!" Think of food as fuel for your body. You can put in good high-quality fuel that will energize your body and help you accomplish what you need to every day, or you can put in bad poor-quality fuel that will cause your body to feel tired, weak, and sickly and will prevent you from accomplishing what you need to do.

Finally, there is a time and a place to enjoy the pleasure of eating good food. God created us to enjoy great variety of foods that He put on the earth. Enjoying good healthy food is a blessing from God that we should be thankful for. However, we do need to protect our hearts from gluttony and overeating by practicing moderation in our eating habits. My advice to you is to reflect a while on why you eat, and then make some healthy changes. Start thinking differently about food and eating. Discipline your body and make it your servant, rather than your body being the master and you being the slave to its appetite. Take control of your appetite and eating habits, and learn the healthy habit of eating to live.

And always remember, the secret to losing weight and keeping it off, is to make nutritious and healthy LIFESTYLE CHANGES that become positive healthy habits in your daily routine. Systematic undereating and resisting the temptation to overeat is the first step to change.

Weight Loss Pt 1 - Keys to Good Nutrition & Tips to Eating Healthy Feast on Organic Whole Food

HEALTHY SUCCESSFUL WEIGHT LOSS - PT 1

Today I'd like to start a whole series on healthy weight loss.

I will be sharing practical things you can do

to lose weight and to maintain a healthy weight.

The information I'll be sharing comes from years of my own personal research, as well as from my own experience.

Several years ago I was about 25 pounds overweight, and I came home from the doctor with a bad report. I went in for a simple physical exam, and came out realizing that I had high cholesterol and triglycerides, and that I was 25 pounds overweight. The photo here is after I had lost 23 pounds and no longer fit in my pants. That's actually a big heavy bag of sugar tucked into my pants to show you just how much extra room I had created in my pants by losing so much weight. I must have dropped from about waist size of 36 down to around a 32. I literally had to buy some new pants to wear. It was a great experience!

After hearing the doctor's report, and after getting rejected by a health insurance company for medical insurance, I realized that I needed to make serious changes to my lifestyle. There were three things that I needed to change.

First, I had to start eating right, again. I had eaten right for years, but then got into some bad habits and ended up eating all kinds of unhealthy things.

Second, I had to start exercising, again. I had stopped after we had two babies.

Third, I had to put together a plan to lose 25 pounds.

In this series, I will be sharing how I completely changed my diet, added exercise to my daily life, lost those 25 pounds, and reclaimed my inheritance of good health.

KEY #1 - PRACTICE SYSTEMATIC UNDEREATING - STOP OVEREATING

This is one of the most important things you can do to begin to lose weight and take charge of your health. A myriad of illness plague Americans because we are so prone to overeat. We are raised in a culture that says, "Big is better," and this translates into eating bigger and bigger portions. Just look at the size of soft drinks or burgers at your local fast food joint. It's absurd!

If you will start to systematically undereat and resist the temptation to overeat, you will automatically start eating less and start losing some weight. This simple step will help you take back control of your eating habits and your health. Who is in control - you or your stomach? It's really all up to you. It's your choice and decision. No one is there forcing you to eat more and more food at every meal and between meals. It's time to take responsibility for your health and to start undereating. I promise you - you'll feel a whole lot better after each meal if you undereat rather than overeat. This is the first step to better health and nutrition and to losing weight and keeping it off.

And always remember, the secret to losing weight and keeping it off, is to make nutritious and healthy LIFESTYLE CHANGES that become positive healthy habits in your daily routine. Systematic undereating and resisting the temptation to overeat is the first step to change.
