Choose fats that have high Omega 3’s and lower Omega 6’s such as grass fed, grass finished meats (Target has some, Green Bean Delivery, Whole Foods, Trader Joes, Farmer’s Markets, HonoredPrarie.com). Fish and Seafood are great choices too. (You do not need as much meat, when eating grass fed). Eliminating “bad” cards will ultimately eliminate cravings for chips, cookies, crackers and sugars. Try to keep pastas, potatoes, rice, and grains out of your diet while losing and learning control. They may be added very occasionally once you have achieved and are maintaining your goal weight. When your body consumes carbs, the carbs are processed as sugar and the excess is stored as fat, making it more difficult to lose weight. (Just the nitty-gritty version.) Carb (starch) 85 – 125 calories, preferably eliminate or severely limit the following: ½ cup – Pasta ½ cup – Brown Rice ½ cup – Quinoa But until you are ready, KEEP CONTROLLED.

Wk10 Wk11 Wk12 3 REASONS WHY THE PRODUCTS WON’T WORK! #1. Inconsistent with taking the products. I’m not saying that you can’t skip a shake once in a while, but weight maintenance is 1 shake a day, weight loss is 2 shakes a day. #2. Incorrectly taking the products. Maybe we should go over how you take the products again?? I think the only way you can’t take them correctly is not to take them at all! #3. Cheating way too much, or lying about cheating! Our program is simple: 2 shakes, 1-2 snacks (depending on your protein needs) and 1 regular meal. Just cut back a little and you will see results! BEST OF LUCK! YOU CAN DO IT! WHAT SYMPTOMS TO EXPECT WHEN YOU IMPROVE YOUR DIET by: Dr. Stanley Bass, ND, DC, PhC I f I were asked which is the area of greatest misunderstanding and confusion in the field of nutrition, I would definitely be forced to reply, it is the failure to properly understand & interpret the symptoms and changes, which follow the beginning of a better program. A better nutritional program is the introduction of foods of higher quality in place of lower quality ones. The quality of a nutritional program is also improved by omitting toxic substances such as coffee, tea, chocolate, tobacco, salt, pepper, etc. Remarkable things begin to happen to the body as well as the mind. When the quality of the food coming into the body is of higher quality than the tissues, which the body is made of, the body begins to discard the lower grade materials and tissues to make room for the superior, which it uses to make the newer and healthier tissues. What are the symptoms or signs when you first begin to omit the lower grade foods and instead introduce superior foods? When the use of a toxin is suddenly stopped, headaches are common and a letdown occurs. This is due to the discard by the body of toxins, which are transported by the bloodstream during its many bodily rounds. Before noxious agents reach their final destinations, these irritants register in our consciousness as pain – headaches. Usually, within three days, the symptoms begin to appear. The body begins a process called “retracing”. The cellular intelligence has a chance to get rid of old garbage and build a beautiful new house. The accent is on elimination and the body begins to move garbage deposited in the tissues. People may experience skin rashes or eruptions due to elimination of poisons and harmful drugs through the skin. If they go to a doctor not schooled in nutrition, he might diagnose it as an allergy and suggest the diet be discontinued. They do not understand that the body is “retracing”. The skin is becoming more alive and active. The toxins being discarded are saving you from much more serious diseases which will result if you keep them in your body too much longer. Possibility: hepatitis, kidney disorders, blood disease, heart disease, arthritis, nerve degeneration, or even cancer. Be happy that you are “paying your bills” now in an easy payment plan. With some, colds or even fever may occur. This is nature’s way of housecleaning. Understand that those actions are constructive, even though unpleasant at the moment, DO NOT try to stop these symptoms but the use of certain drugs. These symptoms are part of the curing process. These are NOT deficiency conditions or allergic reactions. Symptoms then may include: headaches in the beginning, occasional diarrhea, tiredness, nervousness, irritability, negativity, etc. BEAR WITH IT – IT IS WELL WORTH IT!! HEALTH REPORT – WATER HOW 8 GLASSES A DAY KEEPS THE FAT AWAY Incredible as it may seem, water is quite possibly the single most important catalyst in losing weight and keeping it off. Although most of us take it for granted, water may be the only true “magic potion” for permanent weight loss. Water suppresses the appetite and helps the body metabolize stored fat. Studies have shown that a decrease in water intake will cause fat deposits to increase while an increase in water intake can actually reduce fat deposits. Got To Fill Those Kidneys Here’s why. The kidneys cannot function properly without enough water. When they do not work to capacity, some of the load is dumped onto the liver. One of the liver’s primary functions is to metabolize stored fat into usable energy for the body. But if the liver has to do some of the kidney’s work, it cannot work at full throttle. As a result, it metabolizes less fat; more fat remains stored in the body and weight loss stops. Shed Water With Water Drinking enough water is the best treatment for fluid retention. When the body gets less water, it perceives this a threat to survival and begins to hold on to every drop. Water is stored in extra cellular spaces (outside the cells). This shows up as swollen feet, hands, and legs. Diuretics offer a temporary solution at best. They force out stored water along with some essential nutrients. Again, the body perceives a threat and will replace the lost water at the first opportunity. Thus, the condition quickly returns. The best way to overcome the problem of water retention is to give your body what it needs – plenty of water. Only then will stored water be released. If you have a constant problem with water retention, excess salt may be to blame. Your body will tolerate sodium only in certain concentrations. The more salt you eat, the more water your system retains to dilute it. But getting rid of unneeded salt is easy – just drink more water. As it is forced through the kidneys, it takes away excess sodium. The overweight person needs more water than the thin one. Larger people have larger metabolic loads. Since we know that water is the key to fat metabolism, it follows that the overweight person needs more water. Water helps maintain proper muscle tone by giving muscles their natural ability to contract and by preventing dehydration. It also helps prevent the sagging skin that usually follows weight loss. Shrinking cells are buoyed by water, which plumps the skin and leaves it clear, healthy and resilient. Water helps rid the body of waste. During weight loss, the body has a lot more waste to get rid of – all that metabolized fat must be shed. Again, adequate water helps flush out the waste. Water Relieves Constipation Water can help relieve constipation. When the body gets to little water, it siphons what it needs from internal sources. The colon is one primary source. Result? Constipation. But, when a person drinks enough water, normal bowel function returns. So far, we have discovered some remarkable truths about water and about weight loss. The body will not function properly without enough water and cannot metabolize stored fat efficiently. Retained water shows up as excess weight. To get rid of excess water you must drink more water. Drinking water is essential to weight loss. How much water is enough? On the average, a person should drink eight (8oz) glasses every day. However, the overweight person needs one additional glass for every 25 lbs of excess weight. The amount that you drink should be increased if you exercise or if the weather is hot and dry. Water should preferably be cold – it is absorbed more quickly into the system than warm water. Some evidence suggests that drinking cold water can actually burn calories. To utilize water most efficiently during weight loss, follow this schedule: Morning: One quart consumed over a thirty-minute period. Noon: One quart consumed over a thirty-minute period. Evening: One quart consumed in the early evening between 5:00&8:00 PM. When the body gets the water it needs to function optimally, its fluids are perfectly balanced. When this happens, you have reached the “breakthrough point”. What does this mean? Endocrine gland function improves. Fluid retention is alleviated, as stored water is lost. More fat is used as fuel because the liver is free to metabolize stored fat. Natural thirsts returns. There is a loss of hunger almost over night. If you stop drinking enough water, your body fluids will be thrown our of balance again and you may experience fluid retention, unexplained weight gain and loss of thirst. To remedy this situation you have to go back and force another breakthrough. Taken from “The Snowbird Diet” by Donald S. Robertson, M.D. M.Sc and Carol Robertson ON THE GO!
