TilapiaBelow are the steps, and brief explanations. It is important to know WHY you are doing what you are doing and WHY it is working. If you want the easy way and think you have the willpower to follow them without knowing why, skip right to the last step, as there really is only one thing you need to do.
Humans used to exist on meat from animals and vegetation. About 10,000 years ago (a fraction of a second in evolutionary time) we started eating lots of sugar and starch like grains and potatoes. 99.99% of our genes were formed before agriculture; Biologically, human bodies are still hunter-gatherers.
Societies where the transition from a primarily meat/vegetation diet to one high in cereals show a reduced lifespan and stature, increases in infant mortality and infectious disease, and higher nutritional deficiencies.
Modern humans have not suddenly evolved to incorporate the high carbohydrates from starch and sugar. In short, we are eating far too much bread, cereal, pasta, corn (a grain, not a vegetable), rice, potatoes and Little Debbie snack cakes, with very grave consequences to our health. Making matters worse, most of these carbohydrates we consume come in the form of processed food.
65% of Americans are overweight, 27% clinically obese, in a nation addicted to bread, soda, french fries and cakes. This is no coincidence. IT IS NOT THE FAT in the foods we eat that is making people fat and unhealthy, and leading to epidemic levels of diseases such as diabetes.
Take the trash bag to your kitchen (you may need more than one) and IMMEDIATELY throw away anything that has any SUGAR, GRAINS, or PRESERVATIVES in it. Read all labels closely. If it has anything that is a word you can't pronounce TRASH IT. Most of your condiments, canned and boxed items will be history. DON'T PANIC - you can do it!! ALL these things are CONFUSING your body into making FAT because it CAN'T PROCESS THEM INTO ENERGY and they become TOXINS inside you, making you want to eat more because you are essentially nutrient-starved!
If you really feel bad about throwing all that crap away, donate it to a food bank.
** check carefully ALL cans, even most canned corn has sugar added - to make you addicted to it!
** Beans are okay, they are not a grain. Again, check for sugar and preservatives.
Go to the grocery store. Buy only fresh or frozen meats and vegetables and some fruits. Stay away from the center aisles!! There lurks the ad-driven addictive sugary snacks. This is a bit like quitting smoking. Your body will CRAVE the sugar. Look up how yeast works. This is an overgrowth of bacteria that is making you feel tired and nauseous and have a bloated tummy. They THRIVE on sugar so you must starve your unwanted parasites! After about 3 days you will notice your belly not being so "noisy" and upset. You will not crave the sugar.
Keep chanting: NO BREAD(grains) NO SUGAR NO YEAST! while you shop to help you remember.
Drink lots and lots of fresh, clean bottled or filtered water! Your body NEEDS water and may crave it badly. You may confuse this thirst for hunger or sugar pangs.
You will feel frustrated at first, because your eating and food shopping habits may have to change dramatically, and it's not the way you grew up, it's not what you're used to. But IT IS SOOOO WORTH IT! You will get used to it in no time. Besides, what you grew up with and are used to doing is obviously not working, right?!
If you are really craving, be strong! I keep a dark chocolate bar (More cocoa = less sugar) and usually a piece or two will satisfy my sweet tooth. Chocolate is good for you, the sugar in it is not.
OPTIONAL - Obviously we all know that exercise is beneficial and great for your body. HOWEVER You do not have to do any extra work or exercise to lose weight quickly.
You will start to feel more energy and may want to add extra steps here and there. You can park a little further away from the store, take the stairs instead of the elevator or escalator and walk around your office building on your breaks instead of standing around smoking, chatting or staring at the vending machine.
After a week or two you can introduce SOME sweet items, like honey for your tea or cocoa or a few more pieces of fresh fruit. Try to keep fruit at no more than 1 - 2 servings per day.
At this point, you may see a cookie or piece of cake and remember the sweet taste and feel like giving yourself a "treat". I don't recommend it, because after you eat it you will feel SICK and wish you hadn't. Your body is not used to those kind of toxins anymore.
But if you do, NO BIG DEAL just stay on track and go right back to your healthy lifestyle!
The woman that wrote this article was 35lb overweight and lost it in one month by following this diet. She is now healthy, has no more IBS, bladder infections or yeast infections. Her skin has improved to the point where people ask me what I do to have such nice skin. She never has to wear makeup anymore. SHE FEELS better and LOOK better. SHE IS better!
Good food choice examples:
Breakfast: Eggs, fruit, nuts, seeds, fish, meat, vegetables.
Lunch: Salad with fresh lemon/olive or safflower oil dressing with herbs & sea salt & fresh ground pepper, meat, fish, homemade soup with meats, vegetables, beans and natural herbs & spices and sea salt, raw veggies, natural nut butters (cashew and almond are really yummy)
Dinner: Veggies, salad, fish or meat, fritattas or omelets.
Buy lots of fresh or dried organic herbs and spices (check for additives!) They will make your meals TASTY and SO enjoyable! Have fun mixing and matching and trying new tastes and combinations. They are good on salad, meat, fish, and veggies and especially in soup. They are also beneficial and help your body heal.
Try making a big pot of soup each Sunday for lunches or dinners for the week. Make a different kind each week! If you have recipes, just adjust them to take away the grains and add more veggies, or beans. Chick peas are a lovely substitute for rice or pasta.
