Why You Should Follow This Advice
Posted: February 16th, 2011 | Author: Dr. Bill Stillwell | No Comments »A year or two ago, a young friend of mine, who goes by the handle of
“The Greedmaster,” wrote a slim volume on fitness called, “Your
Marriage is Making You Fat…and 25 Other Fat Loss Secrets That Diet
“Experts” Don’t Have The Balls To Admit.” It takes you about an hour
to get through this book, but there is some very good advice in the
76 pages.
I’m going to quote here from Chapter 14, titled, “Push Away From The
Freaken Table.
The author, whose real name is Nate Rifkin, says that this is the
story of a college girl and of his telling her to do “Sit Downs.”
“One day in college, I was eating a meal with a couple of annoying
women who lived in the same dormitory 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 your fitness level?)
As I watched, I realized 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!”
She was not pleased with my answer.
Yeah, I’m a complete jerk. But you have to admit…I’m a clever
jerk.”
Now that’s funny…I don’t care who you are…but Nate has a point.
The point is…that we eat too much.
If I tried to eat what I used to eat…right now…my stomach would
not tolerate it. I’ve been practicing “sit-downs” for almost two
years now and I can testify that this is a very effective weight
loss strategy. And of course, I’ve done other things…but stopping
the eating…when you first feel full… will knock off a lot of
calories in your quest to lose some lard.
If you need a good plan to lose the lard, get mine right here:
And the next time you want some more pizza…sit down!
I’ll be back tomorrow with more.
With my best wishes for your optimum health,
Dr. Bill
