| The
Secret Of Losing Weight And Transforming Yourself Into A Masterpiece Of
Physical Perfection by Russell J. Martino, Ph.D. Yes you can reach an ideal healthy body weight and become stronger and more energetic!
Having a lean, healthy body and tons of energy is within your reach, but it doesn't just happen by accident. Being healthy, fit and looking great is an outcome, a consequence that naturally flows from a series of health producing cause-and-effect relationships, most of which you control 100% through your diet, nutrition and lifestyle. Eat and live in a way that encourages continuous health building reactions in your body and you become healthier and more vital. Eat or live in a way that interferes with those natural health building reactions and being tired, overweight and in less than excellent health is predictable and expected. In days gone by it was easier to make healthy choices, but a lot of things have changed since your great grandparents were your age and those changes have a profound effect. Have You Ever
Wondered Why? Why are 7 of every 10 adults
overweight? Why has being burdened with unwanted body fat become a serious national health problem?
Why does reaching a healthy body weight and keeping it seem so difficult? Three reasons stand out.
Food Is Not As Nutritionally Complete: The nutrient content of food had declined significantly over the last 50 years and food processing further degrades nutrient value.There Is Tremendous Misinformation & Confusion over the best approach to lose fat, reach a healthy body weight and build excellent health. Beware The Curse Of Common Knowledge The first step to lose weight, keep it off and become fit and healthy is to overcome the curse of common knowledge. Some people are so convinced they know everything about a subject they're closed off to new information or ideas that don't fit their picture of things. Most "common knowledge" on weight loss is simply wrong. It's profoundly bad, incorrect information that leads you astray and is, in some cases, laughably absurd to anyone who understands the basics of human metabolism. Low fat snacks and sugar free drinks are perfect examples. You Probably Know Someone Who Makes This Mistake Many believe low fat snacks and sugar free drinks are healthy, or at least helpful for weight loss. But is this true? All low fat snacks are rich in carbohydrates. In fact every 5 grams of carbohydrate you swallow gives you the metabolic equivalent of swallowing a full teaspoon of sugar. Question: How can a food be sugar free and still be loaded with sugar at the same time? How can this be? Answer: A carbohydrate is by definition nothing but a bunch of sugar molecules linked or "chained" together.
Is there any possibility that getting 6 to 10 teaspoons of sugar in your system could help you lose weight... even if the food is low fat and sugar free? Remember... 0 sugar + 30 grams of carbs = 6 teaspoons of sugar We Do The Best We Can Based On What We Know As you come to a more complete understanding of how protein, carbohydrate and fat affects metabolism you eventually realize that low fat, sugar free diet food is in fact some of the most fattening food ever made! No wonder it's so difficult to lose weight relying on common knowledge and following popular advice. It's almost mind boggling. We do our best and try our hardest to do what's right. I guess the truth is, what you don't know... can hurt you. Confusion about low fat and sugar free food is just one example of how common knowledge is commonly wrong and how following it leads you in the wrong direction. The diet industry really is littered with bad advice. How else could we spend six billion a year on weight loss and every year end up more overweight as a nation than ever? The curse of common knowledge extends to all areas of health and health care. The #1 Biggest Obstacle To Losing Weight And Building A Great Looking Healthy Body Is... (the envelope please) There are two biggest obstacle to losing weight and building a great looking healthy body; 1) cutting through the hype that litters the weight loss industry, and; 2) finding a course of action that is scientifically sound and you can actually do. Store shelves bulge with products designed to manipulate one narrow aspect of health while completely ignoring the fact that your body is a fully integrated system. Diet pills, weight loss shakes, weight loss cookies, celebrity diet plans and all such silly products almost never produce lasting results because they're designed to force a result by short-cutting natural processes. Even liposuction, surgically removing fat from the body, fails to produce lasting results because surgery attacks the symptom, (fat), and ignores the cause of being overweight. Attacking a symptom and ignoring a cause is the perfect prescription for failure and exactly why most approaches to weight loss don't work or don't last. Ignore The Man Behind The Curtain! The wizard is out. There's no push-button solution. No magic pill. No anointed one who can magically reach into your endocrine system and reset your metabolism. It's all you... all the time! The key to lose weight, keep it off and build a lean, healthy body you're proud of is; 1) knowing what to do, and; 2) doing it. But beware the curse of common knowledge! The Keys To The Kingdom In over ten years I've helped a lot of people lose weight and keep it off. During this time two things really stand out;
Get this right and you'll lose weight, reach a healthy, attractive body weight you're proud of and, in all probability, never be overweight again. Knowing What & How Gives You A BIG Advantage Weight loss is a personal issue for me because, after gaining a lot of weight while recovering from a neck injury in 1989, I struggled for nearly two years trying to lose it. During those two years I made every "common knowledge" mistake known to man and I failed miserably. It wasn't until I got so frustrated that I abandoned common knowledge, went back to school, and discovered many of the things you can read about on my blog, that I succeeded. After learning the truth about weight loss established an exclusive private weight loss consulting practice, hosted my own Health Talk radio program in Houston, Texas and went on to become a nationally recognized expert on weight loss and health. Several years ago I put together a weight loss program patterned after the same highly successful, private weight loss consultations that helped transform over weight clients who had struggled with their weight for years, into fit, healthy individuals who look great in swimsuits. It doesn't take private weight
loss consulting to lose weight, keep it off and look great in a swimsuit, but it
does take knowing all the right things to do and being motivated enough to
do them consistently. In my program, 5 Steps To Optimal Health, you learn the important basics of metabolism, nutrition and everything else you need to know to reach a lean healthy body weight and keep if for life. And the step-by-step diet, nutrition and lifestyle strategies are fun and easy to get used to. Many of my clients had been 50 to 100 pounds overweight for years before they started working with me. And my program worked for them, not because I'm so great, but because what I teach is exactly what they needed to know to get the result they so desperately wanted. Once they learned what they needed to know and had effective strategies to put the knowledge to work, nothing could stop them.
