Stop Eating Crap And Lose The Flubber

Posted: January 28th, 2011 | Author: Dr. Bill Stillwell | No Comments »

I just finished reading an email from a guy who says he can’t lose
any weight. He was decent enough to send me a rundown of what he’s
been eating and it’s no wonder he’s having trouble. He says he’s
only eating half of what he used to eat, but as I’ve said before, if
you don’t change what you eat, you won’t get results.

1) He’s still drinking a load of sugar. On his list is orange juice,
sweet tea and he goes to Smoothie King almost every day. You can’t
do this and lose weight.

You need to start dropping these things, one at a time, starting
with Smoothie King, which is the same thing as opening a bag of
sugar and pouring it into your mouth. You need to make water your
beverage of choice, without any sugar. OJ is okay, as long as you
limit it to about 4 ounces a day. If you can’t, you need to
eliminate it.

Now I’m not a Southerner by birth, but in the number of years I’ve
lived here, now, I’ve seen a whole lot of sugar go in the iced tea.
If you want the tea, you’re going to have to learn to add lemon and
maybe some Splenda. Just remember this: The more sugar you eat, the
more health problems you’re going to have.

2) There is a lot of packaged food on his list. Now sometimes this
just can’t be avoided, but frozen dinners are, for the most part,
just junk, with a boatload of excess sodium and other chemicals,
which isn’t good. They also tend to be full of high fructose corn
syrup and trans fats, even though the label may say “NO TRANS FATS”.
Under a crazy deal cut by the food manufacturers and the government,
some foods that do have trans fats can actually be labelled “NO
TRANS FATS.”

3) His list is almost totally devoid of fiber. It’s not surprising
that one of his complaints is that he is constipated a good part of
the time.

4) Some of what he considers meat isn’t what you would call high
quality. Being raised in New York, I love a good hot dog, every
three months or so, not a couple of times a week, or more. The same
goes for the old baloney sandwich, which he tops off with fried
onions and mayo. (People in Buffalo…hold your fire!)

5) He only eats a small piece of pie, with a small scoop of ice
cream.

I think you get the drift, here. What I really want to get across
here is this: If you have a bad diet…and you only eat half as much
of the stuff…without making any effort to switch to healthier
options, you may not lose any weight at all. You could actually gain
weight with this approach, because your body won’t know just exactly
what you’re up to and it will go into defense mode, meaning it will
start storing fat.

Now on the plus side, the guy has a grill. If he bought high quality
protein and grilled it, along with some vegetables, I think he’d
start seeing some results and he might even enjoy himself. But the
bad habits have to go.

Drop the bad habits, one at a time. Nobody expects a sinner to
become a saint overnight and trying that approach only leads to
misery. Just making making water your beverage of choice has
kickstarted many a successful weight loss.

If your body isn’t balanced, and most aren’t, combining new food
choices and my Powerhouse Omega Formula makes for an auspicious
start:

When you’ve been using bad fuel for a long while, it takes something
extra to get the system cleaned out and functioning properly.

I’ll be back tomorrow with more.

With my best wishes for your optimum health,
