Lose Excess Fat, Get In Shape, Look And Feel Great – Yes You Can! by Russell J. Martino, Ph.D.
Intro – click twice!
You can reach an ideal healthy body weight and become stronger and more energetic!
It’s no fun being tired, overweight or the victim of food cravings or nagging health problems.
Having a lean, healthy body and tons of energy is within your reach, but great results don’t happen by accident.
Being healthy, fit and looking great is an outcome; a consequence that flows naturally 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.
Weight Loss Plans Typically Fail – Why?
- Why are 7 of every 10 adults overweight?
- Why has being burdened with unwanted body fat become a serious national health problem?
- Why are weight loss clinics on every corner yet there are more overweight people than ever?
- Why do allergies, food cravings tiredness fatigue plague so many?
- Why can’t you eat just one?
- Why is it so difficult to lose weight and practically impossible to lose it and keep it off?
- Why is there so much conflicting advice about how to lose weight?
- Why does reaching a healthy body weight and keeping it seem so difficult?
Three reasons stand out.
- Lifestyles Have Changed Dramatically: Fast-food, channel-surfing, video games, high stress levels, and the desire for instant gratification are all standard fare today.
- 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 Of Fast Weight Loss, Quick Weight Loss or The Curse Of Following Common Knowledge
The first secret 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.
Weight Loss Mistakes - Avoid These Common Diet And Weight Loss Mistakes
If you believe low fat snacks and sugar free drinks are healthy, or at least helpful for weight loss, think again.
All low fat snacks are rich in carbohydrates.
Do you know that 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.
- Carbohydrates are not technically sugar anymore than a house is technically a pile of lumber. But, like a house made of brick and wood, carbohydrates are made entirely of sugar molecules chained together to form a sugar-chain.
- When the chain links holding the simple sugars together are broken as you digest the food, the simple sugars are released, blood sugar goes up and the result is exactly as if you were eating sugar right out of the sugar bowl.
- Read the labels and you’ll discover that a single serving of most low fat, sugar free diet foods, snacks and desserts contain between 30 to 50 grams of carbohydrate, which is the metabolic equivalent of 6 to 10 teaspoons of sugar.
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 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. To lose weight and keep it off you simply must have a good basic understanding of how your food choices determine your body weight and your quality of health.
The Biggest Obstacles To Losing Weight And Building A Great Looking Healthy Body Are… (the envelope please)
The two biggest obstacle to losing weight and building a great looking healthy body are; 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.
Dazed and Confused video 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 Guru Behind The Quick Weight Loss 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!
Best Weight Loss Program - Keys To The Kingdom Of Safe Permanent Weight Loss – The Ultimate Secret Revealed!
Over the last ten years I’ve helped a lot of people lose weight and keep it off. During this time two things really stand out;
- Sincerely following bad advice never produces good results, which is why "wanting" to lose weight is not nearly as important as what you do to lose it.
- The ultimate secret to lose weight and become fit and healthy is to learn the simple yet non-negotiable basics of how your body responds to food and then ease your way into a diet, nutrition and lifestyle that supports you having a lean-healthy body and gives you tons of energy so you feel great and enjoy life.
Get this right and excess body fat melts away, you reach a healthy, attractive body weight you’re proud of and odds are you’ll 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 I established an exclusive private weight loss consulting practice, hosted my own Health Talk radio program in Houston, Texas for two years 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, including the step-by-step diet, nutrition and lifestyle strategies are fun and easy to follow.
Many of my private weight loss clients averaged from 50 to 100 pounds overweight for years before they started with me.
My approach worked for them, not because I’m so great, but because once they got the information they really needed and adapted to the effective strategies that fit so well with their lifestyle… nothing could stop them.
Avoiding the trap of common knowledge, knowing the right diet, nutrition and lifestyle strategies to reach your goal and enthusiastically following through makes all the difference.
