How Can I Stay Thin?

-

Getting there is easier than staying there. I hope that makes cents. Everyone has a method of losing weight that worked for them in the past but the weight always comes back and you end up with more fat than before.

Think about changing everything you’re doing and try something new. Try throwing away all the foods in the kitchen that you like and start over. Try eating fresh and eat clean and just drink water or coffee plain, or tea plain. Get radical, read about healthy eating, and see what it’s going to take.

Think about this for a second: No condiments, no salt or sugar, no sauces or gravy on your food. No Lattes, or any drinks with fat, sugar, or calories.  A no-fat diet means no dairy, no red meat which means no hamburgers, no starchy foods, no cheese or milk.

Now, what you can eat
This is called the Mediterranean diet or the foods of the Mediterranean people. If you noticed, you can eat cheese and yogurt but only non-fat dairy. It says you can eat sweets and meat but only seldom. Sweets should be milk chocolate or dark chocolate and meat should be lean and only once a month. Personally, I haven’t eaten meat for two years. I only eat seafood and poultry.

The bottom part of the food pyramid should be eaten every day. Physical activity should be every day. Fish, poultry, and eggs can be eaten every week but these all contain some fat and even though the fats are good fats, you still should be careful how much fat you consume. Your body needs good fats but you want most of the good fats and protein to come from plant sources.

Yes, this meal plan allows you a glass of wine with dinner a few times a week. Read up on the Mediterranean diet, you can google it. I’m a big fan and so is your doctor. Talk to him and see if he agrees. There are dozens of acceptable foods on the plan.  and don’t worry about counting calories. I like this plan because you can create hundreds of meals from all the choices you have and you don’t have to count calories. When you eat fresh and eat clean you don’t have to worry about calories. Look for my podcast by searching “How Bad Do You Want To Lose Weight” on the podcast app that you use. You’ll see a piece of my book cover.

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. Very little red meat is eaten in this region, and milk consumption is limited as well, exc...

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 ...
