Push Away From The Table

My good friend Nate Rifkin has a story in his book, “Your Marriage Is Making You Fat…and 25 Other Fat Loss Secrets That Diet Experts Don’t Have The Balls To Admit,” that is very funny.

Actually, the whole book is very funny, but it might offend some people with its frankness, so I’m just going to give you a sample.

“One day in college, I was eating a meal with a couple of annoying women who lived in the same dorm as me.

After they finished dinner, they both went back to get some ice cream…and they went together for moral support. (Remember what I said about your friends and fitness level?)

As I watched, I realized that they did this just about EVERY DAY. Together. To make themselves “guilt free,” since they weren’t alone.

A couple of weeks later, one of the girls asked me what exercises she could do to tone up her stomach area…which had grown a bit.

I said, “Do sit-downs.”

“What are sit-downs?” she asked, getting very curious.

“Well,” I explained, “Sit-downs are when you’re about to get up out of your chair to go get some ice cream…and instead you…SIT DOWN!”

The chick was not pleased with my answer.”

That’s Nate, and he’s an acquired taste, but he has a point.

Way too many people over eat. They go way past the point of being full, and keep on eating. And what they eat after they are full is not really good for them, especially if they do it every day.

Years ago a friend of mine discovered Ben and Jerry’s Ice Cream, which is good stuff. He was putting away a pint every day, and soon was about 15 pounds heavier.

What he didn’t realize was that one pint of Ben and Jerry’s had about 1600 calories, and he was adding these calories after he was already full. It’s little wonder he started packing on the pounds.

I helped right his ship by getting him to push away from the table early, and to cut way down on the Ben and Jerry’s.

He also started on fish oil, which helped him get his metabolism moving in the right direction. A lot of folks have trouble losing weight in the beginning of their fitness plan, and then they start taking Dr. Bill’s Powerhouse Omega Formula, an ultra pure pharmaceutical grade fish oil, which seems to send a clear signal to your body to “get with the program”, and then the weight starts dropping off.

Does the fish oil do this by itself? No. It’s the synergy of all the things you’re doing: Eating better, exercising some, and taking fish oil.

You can make gains just by eating better and exercising, but study after study is proving that those who do all three things, eating better, exercising, and taking fish oil, fare far better than those who don’t.

And when it comes to serious medical incidents, those who take fish oil fare 50% better than those that don’t.

So do some push ups, push away from the table, and push the order button for some of the world’s best fish oil.
