How Bad Do You Want To Lose Weight?

-

I revived this blog page to tell you about my new ebook on "losing weight". 

I've wanted to write a book on weight loss for several years but never found enough time. My personal story with my weight has been my inspiration to write this book. I have been between chubby and thin since I was a child. It wasn't until I reached 50 years of age that I made a conscious decision to stop yo-yoing and keep the extra weight off.

I've lost also 60 pounds from my highest point and it does take time and you can lose your way along your journey but it's a journey worth taking. I always believed in exercise all the way back to 8th grade when I bought my first set of weights. I was active in school sports all through high school. I had some bad injuries in sports and there was years when I wasn't working out and I did gain some weight back, but after school when I started working I was a driver on a Coke truck. I had to unload the truck everyday by hand and bring the cases into the stores. Later I had my own route but the work didn't get any easier. Most days I didn't have a helper. I worked alone and the days were long.

I lost any extra weight I might have had over the next few years. I left that job for more money working heavy construction. As an iron worker tying re-bar on a highway concrete crew I got plenty of exercise so it was easy keeping my body in shape. The reason I mention these jobs is because of the hard work over those 10 years of working blue collar, I had stopped working out. I was staying in good shape and never thought I needed to workout. I had to quit working construction after I had an accident at work and spent the next several weeks in the hospital. After I recovered I was doing physical therapy but I was on crutches for several months. After that I knew I wouldn't be able to go back to construction.

I bought my own business and was doing well but I wasn't very active and I started to gain weight. Over the next few years I had gained about 50 pounds. By that time I knew I had to lose weight but whenever I would lose a few pounds, I'd gain it back. For several years I was yo-yoing up and down, until I finally got serious about my weight. So I'm writing this book to give you some valuable information, most of which I learned the hard way, so you might be able to lose the extra weight you've been struggling with.

I quit trying several times but always went back to some sort of diet. I slacked off on the exercise for several years because of my bad knees, but after several years of therapy and one knee surgery, I started back on a regular work-out schedule. When I got my diet and exercise working together, I was finally able to lose the body fat and keep it off.

The Mediterranean diet is based on the traditional foods eaten by people living in the Mediterranean region, especially Greece. It's loaded with healthy foods and research findings suggest following this diet may help reduce some of the risk factors for heart disease.  According to the Oldways Preservation & Exchange Trust, the Mediterranean diet was introduced in 1993 by Oldways, Harvard School of Public Health and the World Health Organization.  The diet includes: Olives and olive oil Whole grains, mostly in bread and cereal rather than pasta Very little red meat Fish and seafood Some cheese, but less milk Lots of vegetables and fruit Plenty of legumes and nuts A little red wine The Mediterranean diet is high in fiber and antioxidants from vegetables, legumes and nuts, far greater than the typical Western diet, and low in saturated fat.

Changing Your Life To Lose Weight

I can let you in on the ultimate secret for successfully making a change in your life. A century’s worth of psychological research reveals an interesting paradox in who we are. On the one hand, once we reach adulthood our basic personalities remain unchanged for the rest of our lives. We keep doing the same things—and feeling the same ways—over and over. But, on the other hand, every day we change our behavior drastically in response to different environments. Most of us are one person at work, for example, and another person at home. It is easier to change our environment than to change ourselves. So, if you want to change yourself, change your environment. Said differently: Whenever possible, don’t try to fight temptations – avoid them! The easiest way to make a change in your life is to modify the world around you in ways that will naturally drive you toward making, and maintaining, the change you want. There are many ways to change your environment, but let’s focus

Cancer and High Protein Diets

-
On the Fox TV Network the other night, one of the big stories was about high protein diets. A new study has shown a link between the over consumption of animal protein and how it can stimulate the growth of cancer cells. It seems we all have cancer cells but they don’t normally grow, unless we consume too much animal fat, dairy or fats from processed foods. Before I continue I want to explain about the link to cancer. After all, Man has been eating red meat for millions of years, right. That's true but todays red meat is not the same. Most red meat that we buy in the supermarket comes from Steers that have been raised in feed lots on a grain diet that is full of hormones and other chemicals that shorten the growing time and put more fat on the animal. These hormones and other chemicals stay in the meat and what you're buying will contain the chemicals that the animal ate. Normally a grass feed Steer that lives on the range in big herds will take 18 to 20 months to grow to
